How to Circumvent
The Hessian FLY

So little complaint Of the Hessian fly
has been heard at the Ohio Expert
ment Station this season that there is
ground for the hope that there will
be NO more trouble from it for Q few
years 70 come, but It will be wiser for
farmers to be on their guard lest It may
reappear suddenly as IL did in 1899.
IL Is possible for every farmer to de-
termine for himself whether the fly is
likely TO appear in destructive numbers
in bis wheat each season. To accom-.
plish this, let q small strip Of wheat
be sown along one side Of the intended
wheat field about two weeks before the
time when the main crop is usually
sown in that particular locality. As
soon as the wheat comes above the
ground examine the young shoots care
fully every day with-a magnifying glass
A cheap lens, magnifyipg about three
dismeters, which can be bought OF any
optician or department store for dol.
lar or less, Is sufficient. IL the fly il
present its minute, reddish eggs, one
tiftieth OF an inch long, will be found iu
the creases of the young wheat blades.
Once seen under u glass these eggs can
easily be seen by the unaided eye as red
specks. Often two or more are found
together, lying end to end.
Usually egg laying occupies about a
week, and II the fly, on her appearance,
finds little wheat ready for her, she
will soon deposit all her eggs. after
which the main crop may safely be
sowu in the assurance that by the time
1t appears above ground the eggs will
all have been laid on the earlier sown
wheat.
Many farmers suppose that the so
called "fiax.seeds," F" which are found in
October and November at the base OF
the wheat stalk, are the eggs of the
fly, but this is mistake; these "fiax
seeds" are the full grown larve of the
fly, which undergo their transforms
tion into the winged insect within the
brown cases called ''hax seeds"

scotsman many times daily during the
spring, while hyacirths, tulips, nsrcissi
and other spring towering bulbs are de-

gorgeous hues.
The same old answer has to be re-
peated again and again: "The flowers
you describe are produced from bulbs
which must be planted in the fall: they
will then flower the following spring.
II Is now entirely too late"
AS the majority of hardy towering
bulbs ripen of during the early sum-
mer months, and as they do not natural
ly remain in dormant condition longer
than from three TO six months, Il Is alb
solutely essential that they be planted
In the fall. This permits them TO make

growth the better will be the flowers.
