HEsSIAN FLY WARMING
BY II. A. Gossard

Wheat-growers are hereby warned
that Hsssian fly is rather plentiful in
a good many sections of Ohio this fail
and In those localities where it is
known to be present it will be unwise
to SOW wheat early. Where rainfall
has been reasonably abundant, the
flies may be expected to appear at the
normal time and the following dates
for seeding in different parts of the
State are suggested by the Ohio Ag-
rlcultural Experiment Station as safe
for such districts; Northern third of
the State-Septembe Goth to 25th,
the latter date for the Southern coun-
ties of this area; Middle third of the
State~-from september 25th to Octo-
ber 5th Southern third of the State
from Oct. 9th, to 10th. Neighborhoods
which are certainly free from the fly
may SOW FIVE or ten days earlier than
these !ates, while neighborhoods more
or less infested with fly and having
been afflicted with drouth during the
summer and tall will be safer from
attack II sowing is done few days
later than the dates here scheduled,
Dry weather retards the development
of the fly without destroying It, ex.
cept in cases Of extreme and prolonged
drouth, and the belated brood may APP
pear in numbers, following the fall
rains, a week or two late than their
usual lime.

1.-THE only politics we played
was to discharge our duty hon
estly and keep our promises"

The people are not fools, and they
will have no difficulty In deciding that
we have stood their friends in all things
certain that they will stand by u.s.
The stand pat organs charge us with
having played politics. The only poll
ties we played was to discharge our
duty honestly and courageously and
10 religionsly keep our promises to the
people, which, according to my way Of
thinking, Is the only honest ard hon
orable way to play politics. That's
the only sort of politics that / know
how to play-the only kind / am will

FRUITS AS FOOD.

Some food analyses which have been
made by the California, North Dakota
and some other experiment stations
show quite clearly that apples and
Other fruits have a food value that
should commend them for use in the
average family entirely apart from
the fact Of their fine flavor and the
relish with which they are eaten by
the average person. These expert
ments show that fruits are fairly chesp
sources of energy and are to be com
mended on the ground of economy for
combination in proper quantities With
cheap proteid foods to furnish a bal
aneed ration. 1t has been found that
10 cents worth of fresh apples used
as food furnish 1,4G1 units of energy
to the body, 10 cents worth of porter
house steak furnishes 444 units, While
10 cents worth of dried beans fur
nish S92 units or calories. From
this it will be seen that apples as well
as other fruits are to be favored be-
cause of their food values. entirely
apart from the fact that they are pret
ty to look at fine favored and have
wholesome effect on the digestive proc

ly AS To Conditions.

Postmaster Crook will return from
Washington, where he went week
ago to enquire into the cause of his
suspension He does not write defin-
itely as to the conditions. The fact
has been established here however,
that there is no shortage. The com
plant comes from very unfortu-
enate circumstance The fact is the
inspector came here just at the close
Of one of the busiest seasons in
the post office. While all accounts
were straight Mr. Crooks books had
not been balanced and the inspector
of course noted it. Whether there
was any personal feeling in the mat
ter or not, remains to be seen. How
ever, the most careful checking Of
accounts fail to show any shortage.
Just what steps the government will
take, remains to be seen also. In as
much as there IS endless red tape
to government business, it is more
than likely this order was issued be
fore Mr.. Crooks balanced report
reached the department. His friends
are anxious for his return and also
to see his good name cleared of sus-
picion.
