THE tramps. says the st. Louis Rspub-

few tramps are to be found in the South.

The 1lessian fly has proved so destructive

farmers are auxiously enquiring to know
how late they should plant their grain to
avoid this pest, and yet not too late to pre-
vent securing good roots before the winter
freezes set in, which in clay lands almost
invariably throw the plants out of the
