A NEW PEST UP NORTH.
The Frir Fly Did Great Damage to
the Wheat Crop.

SPECIAL to the Globe
CRooKsToN. Sept. %. - When the
grain crop began to ripen this fall, in
many fields of wheat numerous stems
were found To be broken off within six
inches Of the ground. Some though it
the Hessian fly, others that hail had de-
streyed the wheat, but Prof. Lngger, of
the state university, who has been in
vestigating the matter under instruc-
tions from Gov. Merriam, reports that
he finds new and more dangerous in
sect than the Hessian fly at work in the
fields. He calls it the frit fly. While
very little is known of it in this coun-
try, 1t has caused great damage in Iowa
and parts of Ohio and other Middle
states. 1t resembles the common house
fly, although smaller, while the
Hessian fly has the appearance of
the mosquito when fully matured. This
little pest mares in the early spring, the
female depOsiting her eggs at the first
joint IN the wheat stem, laying from
one to three eggs in q stem, and an
average of a thousand to the season, SO
that a single fly is capable of killing
from 500 10 1000 stems of wheat. From
these eggs a whitish maggot is Matched,
which forces its way to the interior of
the stem, and there Saps the sustenance
from the plant.
The stem infested by the worm turns
to light color, but the head does not
fill, although heavy enough to cause
breakage at the weak spot. The mag
got is transformed into cocoon. and as
such remains till spring, when 1t sheds
its coat and turns into fly, thus max
ing its escape from the stem to do other
damage. Prof. Lugger found in one
field at Argyle that one-fourth of the
entire crop had been destroyed by these
insects, and, in different section of Mar
shall and Polk counties, equal serious
results had been experienced. He ad-
vises the farmers to either burn their
stubble or plow it under deep enough so
that the worms will be killed.

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Sept. d.
Gunder Torgerson, an old and wealthy
farmer of the township of AurdaI, was
killed yesterday in peculiar way. He
had started to drive to town and his
horses ran down steep hill, at the foot
of which was an iron bridge. One
wheel struck the framework of the
bridge. Torgerson was pitched violently
against the iron girders. He was
knocked senseless and fell toward the
water, but his foot caught between two
of the iron braces, which came together,
''V" shape. There he hung, head down,
twenty feet above the water, till a res
cuing party arrived and eXtricated him.
He died an hour afterward. He was a
greatly respected man, and leaves a
large family.
