Methods OF Combating the Fly.
Destruction OF Flaxseeds in Stub
bie.-The Hessian fly is now in the
fiaxseed stage, resting in the stubble,
just above the joints between the
sheath and the stem. The fiaxseeds
may be found just above any of the
joints, appearing from the surface of
the ground upward. They can easily

and blowing it so deeply two to four.
weeks later that none of the straws
or volunteer wheat plants shall be
left sticking out to form passageways
for the flies when they emerge from
the fiaxseeds. The latter method has
the advantage of increasing the
amount OF humus.
Destruction of Volunteer Wheat
All volunteer wheat should be plowed
under deeply before the regular crop
is sown. so the flies infesting It will
be destroyed and not left to attack
| tho main crop.
Trap Crop. - Inasmuch as 1t has
| been found that the flies can wait for
some time in order to secure desir-
able place in which to deposit their
eggs, it is often desirable and worth
while to SOW early strip of wheat
about or across the prospective wheat
field, and, before the main crop is
sown, to pillow this fly-infested wheat
under deeply, thus not only inducing
the flies to lay their eggs, but de-
stroying their progeny.
Late Sowing.-By far the most i'm
portant measure is to be found in
the practice of sowing the wheat
only after the bulk of the flies have
deposited their eggs This time, how
ever, varies with the nature of the
season from year to year, and can be
determined only by experiment Elk
perimental sowings during the past
year have shown that wheat sown,
after the first week OF October in
September 80 in northern Kansas has
been almost entirely free from in
iestation. |
Useful General Practice. Where
the succeeding field of wheat can be
sown some distance from that of the
! previous year, fewer of the insects

where plants equally infested are

important measures in reducing the
damage due to Hessian fly.

John WESLEY GAINES, the silver

persons have been killed by maniacs,

witness stand at the subsequent trials
NO insane person is harmless. One
frequently hears it said of an eccen-
trio person: Hes crazy all right;
but he's a harmless man" Every
lunatic is a menace. 1t Is better for
him and for all his relatives that he
be locked up. You never can tell
what a mailman will do, and IL he
takes human life he cannot be pun
ished for it.
There are few persons who go up
and down the face of the earth who
are not acquainted with one or more
lunatics. / know two crazy men who
go about their business the same as
other men do. One of them is single
and is an egomaniac. He thinks of no
one and nothing but himself It is
virtually impossible for him to talk.

Then all his friends will swear that he

are in asylums.
The other lunatic with whom I am
acquainted believes that every mans
hand is against him. If you pass him
on the street and fail to greet him
with effusiveness you are certain to
receive two or three menacing letters.
