TO SOW
WINTER WHEAT
Farmers are Anxious to
Outwlt Hessian
flv,

The season of the year is approach
ing when farmers are beginning to pre-
pare their ground for sowing winter
wheat. 1t has been found that late
sown winter wheat Is effected less by
the Hessian fly than that sO~n earlier.
The Ohio Experiment station has been
carrying a series of experiments for
years and In bulletin recently is
sued gives the results as follows:
The distance between the northern
and southern limits of Ohio is about 40
tance btween the tropics at rate OF
about 17.S miles per hour, but, owing
to the curvature of the earth, the time
required to cross Ohio is less than
twelve days. How far the average
season lags behind the sun we do not
know. There is great need of system
attic observations over the state upon
such natural phenomena as the open
ing of leaves and flowers in the spring
and coloring and falling of leaves in
the fall One of the easiest phenomena
to observe and record will be the dates
of wheat ripening throughout the
state, but even on this point no data,
collected with sufficient care and
through a sufficiently long period Of
time to serve as a reliable basis of
calculation, are available.
In regard to the date of wheat seed
ing. local custom and individual situa-
ticn and experience have much to do;
so that III one were to traverse the
state from north to south he would find
wheat-sowing In progress throughout
September and we'll into October In the
average season. II, however, 1t were
possible to collate the average custom
of the most intelligent and careful
farmers it would probably be found
that the real difference in the time
of seeding by most farmers, between
the northern and southern limits OF the
state, does not exceed two weeks. In
other words; few such farmers SOW
before September 18th along the lake
shore, and few later than October LIST
in the river counties, when seasonal
conditions are such as to permit free
choice of date.
Judging from our experiments ana
the information received from others,
1t appears that the earliest date at
which wheat could be sown in extreme
northern Ohio In 1900 and 1901 was
about September 23rd: at the station
about September Goth; at Columbus
about October 4th and IN the river
counties about October 10th---n range
Of between two and three weeks for
'the entire state. q

NEW B. &. 0. LINE
From East liverpool TO Canton
Will be In Operation Next
Spring, Says Official.

The Baltimore & Ohio railroad has
evidently not abandoned its proposed
line from Smiths Ferry and East Liv-
erpool to Canton, says an East Liver
pool dispatch. A few days ago $4,000
was paid to the Dawson heirs for q
small piece Of land to be used as a
junction near Smiths Ferry. Since that
time other purchases of rights of way
along Little Beaver creek have been
made.
An official of the Canton & East
Liverpool Railway Co. under which
name the B. & o. is working in this
vicinity, is authority for the statement
that the new line will be opened next
spring. Properties which the company
has been unable to secure at reason
able price will be appropriated by con-
demnation proceedings.
