PARASITES NO MYTH.
A. M. Crazy Tells Of an Early Day
Experience.

The matter Of destroying the greer
bugs on wheat by inocculating them
with little bits Of parasites, is BY nc
means new to'this state, says A. M
Crazy. A few years ago the chinta
bugs were gotten rid Of in the same
way. and way back in 1875 grass
hoppers were destroyed in the same
way, although in the latter case no
attempt Of man was necessary In
order to ipocculate or to distribute the
parasites about the field. In the
spring Of 1875 Kansas was weighted
down with a new grist Of grasshop-
pers in, addition to those that we're
wintered through.
The writer Of this owned a nice
homestead way out in the country
south of Abilene and on it was ~
acre field Of winter wheat. About
the first Of June he went out from
Abilene to see what progress 1t was
making and found the stalks Of wheat
weighted down with good sized hop
pers that seemed TO stand ready TO
devour every kernel OF wheat as soon
as it got large enough to eat.
The owner went home disgusted'
but having an occasion to drive past
there two days after he discovered
that the hoppers were doing no dam
age and on examination found that
under the wings Of each was three OF
four, sometimes half dozen or more,
little red parasites easily discernibie
by the naked eye. Dickinson county
wheat was harvested and placed upon
the market bringing from $1.O6 to
$1.2O a bushel.

The six-cylinder Ford covered l'lSo

The Ford car made the greatest one

contest, tftyHv miles in the fifth
hour. The average for the first nine
hours by this car was forty-seven and

is an average of only thirty-three

tions. Two Ford runabouts made
perfect scores of 1893 and 752 miles in
the twenty-four hours. These little
cars made an average of thirty-one
miles an hour. The worlds record
for this class Of cars is thirty-four

CYCLING AGAIN IN FAVOR.
That's What Manufacturers o1
Wheels Are Saying.

Whether or not the extraordinary
growth Of cycling interest displayed this
season and last is going to continue ap-
pears to be no longer a question of argu-
ment among the manufacturers
we have stopped wondering about
that says a leading New York state
manufacturer. and are putting In our
best efforts In filling the early orders for
next seasons trade. Everything points
to Il continuance of the strong demand
shown in 1893. 1906 and 1907. and We are
preparing for a banner year. Just to
show you that we have good grounds for
such forecast, l may tell you that at
The beginning of October | already had
more orders on my books than we had
al the end OF December last year, with
thre. good months Of the present year
to hear from.
I'VE estimate our business by the show
ing We made IN 1897, which was doubtless
tho greatest year the American bicycle
trade has seen. Last year, to our amaze
ment, the aggregate of our orders was
almost four-fifths the amount of business
done in 1897, and | feel confident that
the coming year will create an abso-
lutcly new record.
