The Washington Cong FRESHMAN Defines His
Political Position.
TACOMA, Wash. Aug. 1O.-Congress-
man Doolittle rep of this city, whose
speeches in favor of bimetallism and
work in the interest of the Nicaraguan
canal in congress have brought him
some fame, has made public a statement
of his political views. He endorses
Mckinley in strong terms and points
out that the Republican platform is the
only one that can bring about the
adoption Of bimetallism by international
agreement. He says:
II am for bimetallism in all truth
and sincerity, by agreement with other
nations, if that agreement car be
speedily brought about. A good cause
cannot have too many friends. At
all events and in any event I
am am for the use of gold and sill
yer as q basis money. and if, after an
honest trial, which the platform Of the
Republican party pledges, an agree
ment can not be speedily reached with
other nations for bimetallism, I believe
the Republican party will deem it then
to be the duty Of the United States to
open our minis to the coinage Of silver
and by proper r~etaliatory legislation
against other countries enforce our way
and protect ourselves as suggested in
the statement Of Thomas B. Reed of
Maine, published in the Fortnightly
Review, about two years since, to
which attention has so often been di.
rected." He says further that the st.
Louis platform is the only one that
makes possible the building Of the
Nicaraguan canal, for the Chicago plat.

The HESSIAN FLY.
How to Detect the Pest and Destroy It
Farmers Should b. Vigilant-Burp,
Burn, Burn.

The Daily LEADEL has received the
following press bulletin from Prot. Dice
McClaren, entomologist Of the Brookings
Agricultural Experiment Station which
will be read with interest by all, especi-
ally by the farmers:
1.-THE Hessisn' fly has invaded the fields
of spring whest in Grant, Hamlin, Lake,
Mlnnehaha and other counties in South
Dakota. The wheat turns yellow, is
dwarfed, and as it begins to seed, the
straw ''crinkles'' or falls down. In the
leaf sheathes near the ground, very
small white grubs will be found which
"flaxseeds." The pupa matches into a
small black gnat which lays very small
white Eggs on the young wheat leaves.
The eggs o hatch into the white
grubs which do the damage. The grubs
change to the pupas which are nearly all
eft in the stubble when the grain is out
The "laxseeds," like pupas, may. tn IN
to the small black flies inside of six
weeks from the egg, or may live DOR
mant through the winter 10 stubble and
possibly in some Of our native grasses.
The remedies are to burn the infested
stubble aud even the straw where it con
tains many OF the ''1axseeds" or pupas.
In threshing most Of the "1axseeds"
are apt to be found in the ta,lings and
these tailings must be burnt. An in
spection will usually determine whether
the straw should be burned or not.
II the stubble will not burn it should
be deeply plowed under. Wheat may be
sown in strips, as a trap, in the fall and
when the gnats have laid their eggs, the
strips can be plowed deeply. At the
same time all volunteer wheat must be
plowed under.
BET, re sowing wheat in the spring
search for the "fiaxseeds" in all stubble,
straw, grassy weeds, and native grass
near the field and il they are found in
tested thoroughly burn them all. This
burning will also kill cut worms and
other pests. There is reason for believ-
ing that the Hess,an fly may winter in
the native Dakota wheat grasses.
Promptly inform the Experiment Sta
ton at Brookings, South Dakota of all
insect pests, sending specimens, and ad.
vice will be promptly given.
