BEWARE OF HEssIAN FLY.
Many Injurious Pests Burrow In
Ground for Winter.

Lawrence.-"The next summer the
farmers of Kansas must be on the
general outlook for the chinch bug,
the Hessian fly and the San Jose
SCALE Prof. P A Gleni of the ento-
mology department of the University
OF Kansas said. There were scarce
ly any green bugs in Kansas last sum-
mer and there were very few of the
eggs of the insects laid last fall.
Whatever Matched insects got over the
summer will be killed by the hard
winter The university is expecting
much trouble with the chinch bug.
The entomology department already
is planning for an active campaign.
and we have already fixed up pack
ages of the bugs with the deadly fun
gus inoculated on them
Winter weather has peculiar ef-
fects on insects. The green bug can
not stand a temperature below zero,
but the chinch bug hides in rubbish
and weathers the coolest winter. The
Hessian fly is also unaffected by the
extreme cold, and the San Jose scale
is never killed by winter in this part
of the country.
Many injurious insects get through
the winter by boring into the ground
and cold weather does not injure
them. Changes in the weather kills
more insects than does continued cold.
Changes Of 80 degrees, if sudden, will
kill the ordinary insect. The weather
in Kansas has lately been such as to
kill the pests, but the covering Of
snow has protected many of them.
adverse weather conditions are
the greatest check in the world on in
sects," said Professor Glenn. THE
: effect of the weather varies. The hot
weather last summer and the scarcity
| of rainfall were against the continued
propagation of the green bug. That
pest is now practically extinct in
Kansas. On the other hand, the
chinch bug gets along best in hot and
dry weather. The fungus will not do
it's work on the chinch bug if there
! is much humidity.
Conditions last summer and this
winter as well, make us believe that
the chinch bug will cause much trou-
BILE next spring and summer. 1t will
probably be the worst pest to the
staple crops in Kansas next summer.

KANSAS CLAIMS WHEAT
KING OF THE WORLD
ONE MANS PROFITS WERE SIX
TY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
James Fike of Colby Harvested 10000
Acres of Grain Last Lear
Came West Quarter
Century Ago.

Topeka.-Kansas now lays claim
to the wheat king of the world His
name is James n. Fike of Colby, for
mer railroad commissioner and for
mer registrar of the land office for
northwestern Kansas under the last
Cleveland administration.
His vast operations in wheat pro-
duction during the past season can
perhaps be comprehended easier
through some figures. Here they are:
His wheat fields aggregated an area
of eight miles long and two miles wide.
This is equivalent to sixty-fouI
farms of $50 acres each, the average
size Kansas farm.
1t took ten car loads of wheat to
seed his fields.
He manufactured his own steam
plows with which to break the soil
Each of these plows can turn fifty
acres day easily.
1t required $50 harvest hands a
month to gather the crop.
Four threshing machines were kept
busy for a month threshing the crop
It required 120 freight cars of Dot
bushels Capacity each to move hi:
crop.
After gathering this crop Mr.. Fike
went the seasons record one better by
sowing 10000 acres of wheat for the
coming years harvest. This will give
him a wheat area this time ten mile:
long and two miles wide.
When James N. Fike arrived il
Colby twenty-five years ago in a Gov
cred wagon, drown by two small po
MES, and accompanied by his plucky
little wife and two small sons, 1t was
far from his ambition to be the fore
most wheat producer of the world
His sole aim at that time was to sc
cure a homestead for his family anC
to live a comfortable life.

10000 AMERICAN
SETTLERS GO
TO CANADA
THE YEAR 1909 HAS SHOWN AN
INCREASE OF OVER EIGHTY
PER CENT IN AMERICAN
SETTLEMENT.

Recent advices from Canada, our
aext door neighbour, the neighbourly
country across the boundary line,
are that upwards of ninety thousand
settlers from the United States went
into Western Canada during the past
year, most of them for the purpose of
taking up and settling upon the va
cant lands, 160 acres of which are
given free by the government, and
lands adjoining held by railway and
land companies are selling at from
nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per
acre Even if thirty and forty dollars
per acre were paid, the price would be
low, as the lands produce wonderfully,
and at these higher figures there is a
large interest on the money and labor
invested The ninety thousand set
tiers of last year, followed about sixty
thousand of the previous year, and for
several years the number has been
running into these large figures. There
must be a reason for it. 1t may be
found in the single phrase, they are
satisfied" Nothing attracts people
more than the success of others, and
the news of this reaching other thou
sands, causes them to investigate. The
investigation in this case is always
satisfactory. The splendid land of
Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio
and other States has risen to high
value, and it is worth every dollar
asked for it. But there is not room
now for all on these lands. With the
ever increasing demand for grain,
there comes the ever increasing de-
mand for land. Canada is the only
country on the continent in a position
! to supply it. Land there that costs,
say fifteen dollars an acre, produces
on a reasonable calculation, % bushels
of wheat to the acre, or about $4,000
! The most liberal calculation as to cost
makes the cost to produce $3.50 per
acre, leaving a balance of $3.50 per
acre. The $3.50 carries good wages
for the farmer, and all other conceiv-
able contingencies. With conditions
like this, covering the entire area of
about 100000 square miles, it is read
lily understood why 10000 Americans
should follow the sixty thousand of
the previous year. Canadian Govern
ment Agencies at different points in
the Union are always ready to give in
formation regarding the free home
stead lands, ready to advise the set
tier as to the districts which would
suit him best

that much has been done, the reports
from all parts of the country indicate
that this year the amount of money to

more than double that of the past

tions have been made in the various
municipalities for next years anti
tuberculosis work, aggregating $3,976,
500. In addition to these appropria-
tions over 100000 has beer, set
aside by the different state legisla-
