WHEAT LOUISE At WORK.

Prof. WaIdron Of the State AaricuI.
turaI College Tells Of the Damage
Being Done by Wheat Louise.
In recent letter to the state press,
Prof. Waldron of the state agricultural
college says:
There have been many inquiries of
the experiment station in regard to the
insect that is affecting the heads of
wheat and other grain crops in this
state quite commonly this season.
This insect is a green louise and is
known as the grain plant louise or the
wheat aphis. 1t is probably found
every season to some extent, and &C.
cassionally as this season, it becomes
quite abundant and many remain so
for two or three seasons. 1t gets its
living by piercing the tissues of the
plant and sucking the juice. When
they are present in large enough num-
bers, this causes drying up of the
plant tissues, so that the wheat can
not mature as it should. Wheat stand
ing in a field where the insects are
very numerous is found to be shrunk-
en- to greater or less extent. If the
lice are very abundant it may even
cause blighted appearance OF the
wheat. They have obtained so much
juice of the wheat plant that it has
caused a premature ripening and the
field will be spotted white. Ordinarily
they are not thick enough to cause a
blighted appearance, but they still
damage the wheat and at threshing
time the wheat is seen to be shrunk-
en-, due to the attacks of the lice. It
has been found that wheat will shrink
as much as 80 per cent, but ordinarily
the shrinking is not as much as this.
There is no remedy in the way of
sprays or chemicals, that is practical
to apply to these lice. They have
natural enemies in the way of other
insects, and as the lice become abund-
ant their enemies or parasite increase
in like ratio and when their enemies
become abundant the lice decrease.
The insect is very similar to a green
louise that attacks house plants and
different garden vegetables.

Admiralty Informed Of Departure
Russian Fleet.


st. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-THE ad.
miralty has just received from Vice.
roy Alexien brief dispatch oficially
announcing the departure of the Port
Arthur squadron. 1t does not give de-
tails and doubtless was the news com.
municated to the admiralty by the
captain of the torpedo boat destroyer
Ryeshitelni from Chefoo.
The news of the departure of the
Port Arthur squadron, printed in extra
editions of the newspapers, created
the keenest interest among the people
in the streets.
The officials here are unable to
make out clearly from the Toxic dis.
patches whether Admiral Without
broke through the Japanese investing
feet and the utmost anxiety prevails
upon this point.
No fresh news has been received
from the front.

WILL REMAIN At CHEFOO.
Russian Torpedo Boat Destroyer (,
Be Dismal tled


Washington, Aug. 12.-Advices have
been received here that Russian tor
pedo boat destroyer, which put into
Chefoo, has made a request of the
Chinese admiral that it be permitted
to disarm and remain and that the
request is under consideration.
The news is taken here as an indi-
cation that the Russian fleet has de-
cided permanently to abandon Port
Arthur, for otherwise the torpedo boat
could have obtained a supply of coal
at Chefoo sufficient to have returned
her to that fortress. The boat, it is
believed, is destined for no further
service during the present war, for
that would be the only condition un-
der which the Chinese government
could allow her to take shelter at Che
foo. Another small Russian gunboat
Is laid up at Chinese port under sim
liar conditions.

Mukden, Aug 12.-There is much
speculation as to whether the Japan

Kuropatkin's flank between here and
Liaoyang or north of Mukden. The
Russians appear well satisfied with the
situation. Officers and men anticipate
a big battle around Liaoyang, but the

seek to turn. the Russian position

remarkable. One species builds
its nest in a sand bank that is

such soil, and when it leaves in
search of food it.covers it's nest
so carefully thatt'no ordinary
eye could discover its, where =

just like it surroundings; and
yet the wasp flies backs to it in
