Some Up-to-Date Hints About Guilt
walton of the Soil and Yields
Thereof--Hor yIticuiturs and
floriculture.


The greatest obstacle to the growing
wheat in some states Of the Union is
the Hessian fly. This insect not in
frequently increases as the wheat acre
age increases, and acts as q decided
drag on the whole wheat-growing
business. Various methods have been
tried to escape the ravages OF this In
sect Late sowing has been one OF
these. Sometimes this practice is en-
tirely successful in enabling the wheat
to escape the flies and also in securing
good yield of grain the following
season. At other times the warm
weather in the fall has enabled the
nies to live long enough to produce
grubs In the late sown wheat. In
case of dry time late in the fall the
late-sown wheat has been known not
to terminate. or, terminating, 1t has
made too slight growth to be able
to stand the varying hardships of
winter. But taking all things into
consideration it is probable that late
sowing Is generally advisable. When
the flies are present at all in the late
sown wheat they are generally few in
numbers compared to the numbers
found In the early-sown wheat An
Illustration of this Is seen in some
sowings made at the Kentucky Exper-
lment station. One plot. planted Sep
TENDER rs, yielded 80 per cent Of in
rested plants. A plot sowed October 8
yielded per cent of infested plants.
Three other plots sowed October 10.
IL and "a yielded no infested plants.
In localities north of Kentucky the
paintings should be earlier than the
dates mentioned, while south Of the
northern part of that state they should
be later.
Hessian flies cannot stand frost
and disappear mostly after few cold
nights in the fall They are supposed
to be about as hardy as the mosquito.
However, cases are known where they
laid eggs on wheat plants after at least
four heavy frosts The flies spend
much Of their nfe In the ground dur
Ing the summer months. About the
time the fall wheat should appear they
come out OF the ground and deposit
their eggs on the young wheat blades
II any exist. Then they promptly die.
Three days from the time of coming
out Of the ground the insects have
finished laying their eggs and have
persisted. The eggs are always laid on
the upper side Of the blade and usually
only a few on each leaf. They are SO
small that they can be readily seen
only with a microscope. The "fax-
seeds" are often taken for eggs, but
these are the coccoons of the grub, in
which he is Transforming into full
hedged Hessian fly and getting ready
to do mischief when he Tor she)
energies In the spring.
Strange as 1t may seem, the Hessian
fly, except in its flax seed" state, is
not generally known. A small beetle
(aphodius inquinatus) Is frequently
mistaken for it. These insects are
numerous in some wheat fields. The
Hessian fly resembles a mosquito, but
lacks the beak.

San Jose Scale from North china.

San Jose Scale from North China.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in
his annual report, referring to the San
Jose scale, says:
The evidence accommodating during
the past two or three years had seemed
to show that very possibly this scale
was originally imported into this coun-
try from Japan, and In the spring of
the present year the assistant entomol-
ogist, Mr.. Marlatt. was sent to Japan
for the purpose Of studying the ques-
ton on the ground. Unexpectedly to
most entomologists. although not to
the chronological force Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. 1t was quite def
nitely ascertained that the San jose
scale is not indigenous to Japan, but
that, quite to the contrary, II was in
troduced into that country from the
United States upon fruit stock at sew
eral different times and at several diff
ferent points. The most careful search
failed to reveal the scale in portions OF
Japan where American plants had not
been introduced. Mr.. Marlatt's trav-
els in the Japanese empire lasted about
five months, and having satisfied him
self, as Just stated. he proceeded TO
China, visiting Cheefoo, the port of the
great foreign fruit district Of North
China, where the industry was started
by a missionary CDR. Nevins) some
thirty years ago, since which time 1t
has extended over the province. For
eign fruits were introduced and are
now grown alongside the native fruits
or grated on native trunks. The San
Jose scale was found there, but the
admixture Of foreign trees with the ma
tive trees prevented any conclusion as
to whether the scale was indigenous
or not. Proceeding to Pekin, he found
the fruit markets enormously stocked
and representing exclusively the prod
ucts Of the surrounding country and
districts south of and adjacent to the
Great Wall. All the fruits were ma
tive. The apples were small. and the
pears were hard and woody. Nearly
sll this fruit was infested by the San
Jose scale.
AT T1ehtsin the same conditions
were found in the fruit markets, and
in the city gardens and private yards
the San Jose scale was found on
lowering shrub coming from North
China. In all the region between
Tientsin and Pekin and the Chinese
wall native fruits only are grown, and
no foreign stock of any kind has ever
been introduced. Apples, pears,
peaches, apricots, and plums are ex-
tensively grown on the sunny slopes
OF all the hills south of the Great Wall.
The San Jose scale in this district
could not have come from any foreign
country. as there have been no impor-
tations and the fruits are all of native
sorts. The scale occurs very scatter
ingly, although generally. Just as 1t
should IL native, and is in a state of
balance with its native natural enc
mics. It has natural enemy, every
where present and efficient, in lady
bird beetle known as Chilocorus SINH
lis. From this evidence Mr.. Marlatt
concludes without doubt that the San
jose scale is a native Of North China.

a nsmear for STOCK rol.on,nx.

The loss of stock in Montana, caused
by poisonous plants, has been esti-
mated at from $4,000 to 100000 per
annum. Prior to the present fiscal
year there was no simple and reliable
way of saving stock when poisoned.
but now, by series OF careful expert
ments conducted at the request OF the
Montana authorities. the department
has shown that II small tablet con-
sisting Of permanganate of potash and
sulphate Of aluminium be promptly
administered the greater part of this
loss can be averted. The action Of the
permanganate is to oxidize and destroy
the poison still remaining unabsorbed
in the stomach, and this action is in
tensified by the sulphate of aluminium.
The poisonous plants that respond to
this treatment are. so far as ascer-
tanned, larkspur and poison camas, the
two plants that cause most OF the loss

"CONk" JONES GAME.
Topeka Gambler in Trouble
Over Fleeing News Agent.

"Conk" Jones, gambler and jointist.
formerly of Topeka, is in trouble in
Kansas City. He has been in trouble
before in Chicago, when he was charged
with some crooked business, so the ex-
Derience is not new to him. A Kansas
City paper contains the following ac-
count of his troubles:
Robert E Lee, a news agent on the
Rock Island system, was f1eeced out OF
$715 in poker game in the Brunswick
hotel on Broadway by Kansas Cit,
sharpers. He appeSled to the police and
an unavafling effort was made-to force
a restitution of the money, which rep
resented all of Lees little fortune After
several days Lee went to a lawyer.
whose offices are on the sixth floor o.
the New York Life building, ana
through his advice warrant was
sworn out before Justice George Wallis
against "Conk'' Jones. a well known
Kansas City gambler Jones has been
in Excelsior Springs lately and was in
Kansas City yesterday. but he has not
been arrested.
1t was on the night of August IL that
Lee sat in" the Brunswick hotel poker
game. For years he had worked and
saved his money as a train butcher
and several weeks ago he told friends
in a West Ninth street saloon that hs
had saved up enough money to buy d
little grocery store in Kansas City. This
talk proved Lees undoing. The next

night he was inveigled into a poker
game. and the story of how he bit
and was Caught might appear hu-
morous were it not pathetic. Lee iden-
titled Conk Jones as the man who got
his money. Through the efforts of the
lawyer Lee and Jones have met severaf
times in an effort to fix the matter
up" but Conk Jones. while apparently
willing to discuss the matter, insists he
is not the man. Yesterday it was said
the criminal proceedings against Jones
will be pushed. One of the peculiar
features of the matter is that while the
police know of the alleged skin" game
and the issuance of the warrant no
effort has been made to apprehena
Jones'
The day after Lee made his talk about
having the Sis. one of the men whom
he had talked to in the saloon went to
him. He said there was "a cattlemap
just coming to town with money stick
ing out of his pockets" and that the
cattleman wanted to play poker. Lee
refused to play. He said he had never
Lee even said he did not know one card
from another. Yet the friend per-
sisted, arguing that the cattleman was
certain to get in game" with some
one, and that they might as well get his
money as anyone. Lee. it Is admitted
the game of poker upon the assurance
that he would not lose anything.
He was told if he got three kings or
better" to bet all he had That fact
was emphasized. Whatever happened,
he must wait until he got three kings
or better" and then wager all he had.
Bet 'em all to standstill." he was
told to do. but it was not explained
how the three kings were to appear in
his hand.
Lee, with two friends, one of whom is
a Jew gambler well known here. who
often wears a diamond and a red vest,
went to the hotel. There Lee was intro
duced to 'the cattleman''-whom he
now alleges was "Conk" Jones' The
game began. Pretty soon Lee got three
kings. He bet all he had, S715. ''The
cattleman" had three aces--at least he
did not show down more. The cattle
man pocketed the SIS and went away.

TO MEET A STRINGENCY.
Secretary Shaw Already Has Ar
ranged to Meet It

Washington, Aug. zs.-In view of ru-
mors as to Secretary Shaw's plans for
relieving the money market in the event
of the possible stingency. the secretary,
who is in New York today authorized As
sistant Secretary Aisles to make the fol-
lowing statement:
The secretary recently invited some of
the larger national banks in the principal
cities to order additional amounts of
circulating notes to be printed. National
banks are entitled to issue circulation to
the full amount of their capital. The ag-
gregate capital of national banks is $709.-
100000, but the banks have outstanding
only s35S. 100000 of circulation The secre-
tary has hoped to introduce an element
of elasticity into the present system. His
suggestions to the various banks In the
larger cities that they make preparation
for additional circulation have not met
with very favorable response 1t is not his
intention that they should issue this ad-
ditional circulation at all events, but only
in case of actual necessity and emergency.
With this in view those banks which have
made arrangements to deposit United
States bonds as security for such addit-
fonal circulation have sent in their or
ders and the secretary has had all
branches Of the treasury service busily
engaged in expediting the preparations of
the notes pending possible emergency

HIS BONY FIST"
President II Accused of Waving It
Against England

Vienna, Aug. 29.-President Roose-
velts speech on Monroeisrn has caused
widespread attention here The Neu
Erie Presse thinks it was directed
chiefly against Great Britain and that
it sounds like an answer to the con-
ference Of the colonial premiers. The
paper believes it will make a deep Inn
preston on Great Britain, which coun-
try may find herself faced by the pros
pect of war over Canada with a mighty
foe, with which the South African
states can not be compared.
Mr.. Roosevelt" continues the paper,
waves his bony fist against England
because the Boer war published to the
world the poverty OF Great Britain's
military forces"
The paper concludes as follows: 1T
must not be forgotten that Mr.. Roose-

tion speech. II the head of a European
state had spoken In such a manner one
might anticipate war in the near future.

CORBIN SAW FROM WINDOW
Witnesses Entry of King Of Italy to
Berlin.

Berlin, Aug. 29-The entry of King
Victor Emmanuel into the city and his
drive through the Unter. den Linden was
advanced purposely half an hour from
the published time, as a precautfon
against possible disorder. Consequently
the great crowds which were packed
into place an hour before by the police
at the Brandenburg gate were aston
fsheG by the arrival at a brisk trot of a
gorgeous cavalcade surrounding a six
horse carriage. in which sat Emperor
William and a small man in a dark
uniform pulling at a blonde moustache-
The carrfge stopped and the crowds
ceased cheering in order to see what
would happen. The chief burKomaster.
Herr Kirschener, advanced and read an
address of welcome from a parchment
scroll Behind the burgomaster stood
-bareheaded hundred repr resentatiyes
OF the city In evening dress. The read
ing was over in less than minute. The
Italian king then turned to the German
Emperor and asked him if he should re-
ply. The emperor shook his head neg
atively, and the king thereupon shook
hands with Herr YKerschener and
thanked him. A deputatfon of young
ladies advanced on the other side of the
carriage and gave the Italian king a
