ages. The Illinois State Board of
Agriculture declares that ON the
whole the prospect for the wheat
growers of that state is about as
discouraging as ever was known,
and the principle cause of the diff
Guilty is the Hessian fly. In many
other localities, also, the pest has
been unusally numerous and active.
A good deal of investigation has
taken place this season in order to
determine the best preventative
measure. There arc a good many
of these, and all of them possess
some merit. None, however, will
prove successful if practiced in any
haphazard way. 1t is important
that there Ee unity of effort all
along the line in the methods under
taken. The Purdue Experiment
Station recommends as most effect
i've, first, sowing at the proper
time; second, sowing decoy strips,
and third, thorough preparation
and fertilization of the land so as
to provide the most favorable con
ditions for strong and rapid
growth. The active period of the
fall brood Of this pest in the north
crn counties Of Indiana is from the
last Of August to the last of Sep
,tember, getting later as they 90
south, so that in the southern por-
tion of the state they will probably
be found at work as late as the
middle Of October. TO avoid the
fall brood, then, the proper time
to SOW wheat in the northern coun-
ties is between September Goth and
3O,h, and in the southern counties
from the first to the middle of Oc-
tobcr. The dccoy strips should be
sown in the north in the last week
in August and in the south the
first ten days in September, and
these should he plowed under deep
ly before sowing the main crop.
This provides for later sowing of
winter wheat than is customary. 1t
requires that the land should be in
first class condition, but prevents
the fall crop from furnishing a
hartnring place for the fly to pass
the winter. Stock Indicator.

In 1883 the Democratic Leeis
lature passed an act authorizing
the Fund Commissioners to turn
over all of the bonds of the state
Of Missouri in these funds and this
was done and the proceeds applied
to paying off part Of the debt
which the State administration in
its extravaganza had been unable
to meet and IN lieu Of fund the
state issued certificates Of indebt-
edness. The school fund and
seminary fund were thus wiped out
and spent and the state became in
debted to that amount, to pay the
interest on which the people arc
annually taxed.
The original funds under Repub
Iican management, were invested
in L. S. 6 per cent bonds, that
drew interest from the general
government, largely supporting
the public schools and the Univor-
sity. BY Democrat Juggling Il
fund that drew interest was chang
cd into Il debt that paid interest,
