THE PEARY PARTY.
Sylvester Says the First Part of the
Trip Was n Picnic.


Trip Was "a Picnic.
Princeton, N. j., September 15.-Chas.
Frederick Sylvester, curator of anatomy
Peary relief party, has arrived here from
North Sydney, c. B. Mr.. Sylvester said
the expedition suffered no inconyenien Q
from the cold. The trip north was rather
an excursion, freighted with an abundance
of real sport in hunting Arctic bears, par
tridges, ducks and foxes. Thu Diana left
sydney July II and in less than two weeks
arrived at Driscoe Island, off the coas OF
South Greenland. Further UP the coast
the party received letters from Peary n
forming them where to land the provis-
ions. AS the expedition was going acE SIS
the Fouika ford a ship was sighted which
was thought to be the Windward. Closer
inspection, however, revealed 1t as the
Fran, Nansen's old vessel, now under the
command of Sverdrup, who Is conduct
ing Norwegian expedition The Dana
was then steered toward Etah, where Lien
tenant Peary was found uni aiding the
Windward, preparatory to making that
place his winter quarters Peary was I'M
mediately taken aboard the Dana and the
Esquimaux settlements on the coast OF
North Greenland We're visited. II was a
fine trip among those people, who live In
groups. In coasting about Hilgenfeld
gulf and Whale sound were thoroughly
examined. The entire party next enjjyei
the exhiiarating sport of a walrus hunt.
and after killing about forty the coast re-
sembed the Chicago stock yards. The
Diana started southwark shortly after,
having been preceded week before by the
Windward. Before leaving Etah the cargo
was successfully landed. Lieutenant
Peary now has enough provisions to lat
two or three years. Every man In the eX-
petition is a college represen alive, anl
they expect Peary to reach the pole. be-
cause he knows what he has got to do and
how to do 1t.

docs but little real injury. Otherwise,
lit may be protected in the same man
lner as wheat by late planting.
Several parasitic insects are OF great
value in holding the numbers OF the
fly in check. (but as yet no method is
known whereby these parasites can be
lartifcially encouraged). were il not for
them the fly would be much more in
furious than it is.
The most impor tant method of keep
ling the fly under control is by deferring
planting till as late as possible in the
Fall. by which time the flies will have
laid Hleir eggs in other fields, or have
largely died. Las year (S9S) Profess
sor w. G. Johnson, OF the Maryland
Agricultural Experiment Station, pub
llishedl a bulletin upon this pest and
gave The proper time for planting safe
ny in various sections of that state
based upon the experience Of leading
farmers from all parts OF that state
land upon notes upon the relative
Iamount of injury To wheat planted at
different dates. The same dates as
given for the Eastern Shore OF Mary
land ami applied to Delaware would be
|about as follows:
In New Castle county. plant between
September 2S and October 8.
In Kent county, plant October to Is.
In Sussex county, plant October to
20.
OF course. these dates are but an
|proxinate, as the weather and seasons
Twill cause more or less variation, which
|must be taken irto account. Some
years wheat planted early and late
seems TO be affected equally. this pos
Isibly being due to weather conditions
which have checked the increase of the
parasites OF the fly. but the above dates
form the consensus Of opinion among
leading farmers as to the same time for
planting.
Inasmuch as most OF the Spring brood
remains in the sltuhblc in the "naxseed
stage after harvest. IL the fields be
them burned over, or turned under
deeply, large Numbers will be de-
Istroyod.
BY planting a few strips of wheat
much earlier than usual i'm the Fall
and then turning these under as soon
as the flies have deposited their eggs
upon them, the greater part Of the Fall
brood may be prevented from attack
ing the regular sowing.
Hiy the destruction of all volunteer
wheat, the two supplemental broods
may be reduced. and in the North
whore this is the principal means OF
carrying the insect over Winter. and
Spring wheat is largely grown, this
| is found to he OF considerable import
ance
Though none are exempt from attack
those varieties of wheat having stout
flinty stalks often suffer much less than
others.
a rotation of the crop TO some distant
field is commendable for this as we'll as
most insect pests, and where il has
been judiclously practiced, individual
farms have often remained free from
serious attack when surrounding areas
were badly infested.
Note.--The entomologist OF the Ex-
pertinent Station would be glad to re-
ceive notes concerning injuries by the
above insect, or by any others concern
ling which information may be desired
or which are especially injurious. II
the identity OF the insect is not known.
