BAD OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT
HESSIAN FLY, DREADED BY FARM
ERs, HURTING THE CROP.
state EntomOlOgist Troop Receiving
Gloomy Reports from Many COun-
ties-The San Jose Scale.

Indiana's wheat crop for next year will
not be anything to brag about, according
to Prof. James Troop. of Purdue Uni
versity, state entomologist. The dreaded
pest of the farm lands. the Hessian fly. is
already getting in it's work, and from re-
ports received by Professor Troop from a
majority of the counties the outlook is very
gloomy.
Professor Troop, with his assistant, j.
Clyde Marquiss, a student Of entomology
in Purdue University, has made inspections
of scale infected districts and says that
twenty-four counties are troubled with the
pest of San Jose scale. OF these Marion.
Switzerland, Washington and Vanderburg
are seriously affected The city of Indian
apolis, he says, is the worst of all. The
source of infestation is unknown to the
state entomologist except that some of the
trees were bought from a travelling agent
representing some foreign nursery. In In
dianapolis alone 1900 places were visited
during the past year and more than 1000
trees and shrubs ordered burned Many
trees were sprayed with good effect.
Bad conditions exist also near Evans
vile, where the situation became serious
before the scale was discovered. over hf-
ty orchards and city lots were found to be
infected. Professor Troop gives the start
ling bit of information that a single scale
may become the progenitor of 100000 900
individuals before the season is ended,
which gives an idea of the troubles of a
farmer.
The state entomologist devotes consider
able space in his report to the seventeen
year cicada, popularity known as the sew
enteen-year locust. There was considerable
excitement over the appearance OF the in
sect, Professor Troop says but the amc
of real damage comparatively
large One-fourth of i per cent. of trees
in nurseries was all that was permanently
injured.
The appropriation for the department of
entomology for the year was s99S15, and ii
was found necessary to use all the amount
in prosecuting Investigations.

Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina, is
asking the President to remove S. II. Wick
postmaster at Wilson, in that State be-
cause he is negro. and the patrons of the
office want a white postmaster. The office
is one of the largest in the State. paying
about $1,000 a year. 1t is admitted that
Wick has made a good postmaster. and
nothing is brought against him except his
color In view of the Presidents recent
letter, it is surprising that Senator Pritch-
