Worth Thinking About
The chinch bug costs wheat growers 100 million dollars annually and the Hessian fly 200 million. Potatoes incur 17 million for padison sprays to kill potato bugs. A quail in Ohio contained 1200 chinch bugs, another in Kansas held 2000 Hessian flies. A Massachusetts College estimate says a quail destroys 75 thousand potato bugs and 6 million weed seeds annually. A private gun license is cheap, and critics call such cheap licensing bad policy. Our Dumb Animals notes Miss Ethel Beesler visiting Chicago. Arthur McClure will live with Roy and Mrs McKellips until spring, health failing.
