HESSIAN FLY INJURIES WHEAT
Pestiferous Little insects Burrow In
to Straw, Weakening It and Caus-
Ing II to Fall Over.

In reply to a query as to the best
method of Kidding a field infested
with the injurious little Hessian fly
the Wallaces' Farmer makes the fol-
lowing reply:
The Hessian fly severely damaged
much winter wheat late last fall, but
the pest is not yet done with its evil
work. These brown objects which
our. correspondent wrongfully calls
eggs will turn into little black flies
about one-tenth Of an inch long, re-
sembling small mosquitoes. They
will lay more eggs on the wheat, and
the maggots which come out of these
eggs will, by burrowing into the
straw, cause further damage. They
weaken the straw and cause 1t to fall
over.
What can we do with a field in
tested with Hessian fly? If the infes-
tation is slight, and but few of the
plants are killed, we would let the
ground stay in wheat, trusting that
the wheat will stool out sufficiently

ARROWS THAT CARRY FLAME
Method of Starting Fires In Which
Mlscreant Can Escape Without
Detection.

Arrows bearing box of matches
and an ignited cloth, and which are
shot from rice fields and dark alleys,
are now known to be the means by
which the firebugs responsible for sew
eral CONGREGATIONS during the last
week have accomplished their aims.
A strange feature of the present cpl
demic of incendiarism In Manila has
been the utter inability of anyone to
catch the firebugs in the act of firing
houses, and although the police and
private citizens have been on the look
out for these vandals only one charge
of arson has been filed SO far.
The police had theory the work
was done with arrows and that their
theory was correct was proved by the
discovery yesterday afternoon of an
arrow which had been shot at 241
Gale Singalong. The arrow was about
81 inches long and about one cent?.
meter in diameter
To 1t was tied full box Of matches
wrapped with piece of canvas which
had been saturated with petroleum.
The arrow was designed SO that being
fixed in the bow, or when ready to be
thrown, the canvas was ignited and
the arrow hurled at the house intend
ed for destruction. By the time II
reached its destination the cloth would
be burned sufficiently to ignite the
matches and an explosion would oc
cur. setting fire to the surrounding
nipa or bamboo. Standing off at q
convenient distance in a paddy field
or dark street the miscreant would
be able to ignite and fire his arrow
and then escape without detection

impossible to Make
Woman Give Testimony,

Suddenly she shrieked: "No, no; !
know nothing! l swear l know. moth
ing at ALL" Her lawyer jumped to
his feet and told the court that she
had confessed her part in the crime
to him and that she had agreed to
tell it on the witness stand. But the
Martinese woman was immovable.
She would not utter word except to
deny her knowledge of the crime.
While she was protesting her In
nocence a policeman rushed to the
prisoners pen and caught Pietro Pam
pinslli, the man on trial, by the arm.
He had seen him give her the death
sign and he so informed the court
Subsequent attempts were made to
get the Martinese woman to confess,
but without success. Like others who
had received the sign she knew any
confession on her part would be fol.
lowed by a hideous death.
OF course, there are scores of writ
ten death signs. The skull and cross
bones has been sign Of death for
centuries. The Chinese have a death
sign with which they mark the house
of man selected for slaughter, and
l suppose every race has some sort
of written sign which is synonymous
with death and which has come down
from the earliest times. To this day
when an Italian Is murdered his rela-
tives dip their fingers In. his blood
and make a cross with 1t. The cross,
by the way, has been the symbol of
death in almost every cline and age.
But the death sign we are confront
ed with today is the quick gesture
which / have described. 1t is peculiar
to the southern Italians and the
Sicilians. | have never known 1t to
be employed by criminals of any 9TH
have dealt with men of all races. 1t
is a serious thwarting Of justice, but
I have no doubt that 1t really means
death for the person who disregards
1t. While Italian criminals are cow
ards when 1t comes to fighting any
one not Of their own race, the spirit
of the vendetta is born In them. The
fact that several witnesses who impli-
Gated their fellow countrymen in seri-
Gus crimes have been mysteriously
murdered not long afterward proves
that the death sign Is a dreadful,
horrible reality-New York Sunday

PLEDGE POLICIES FOR LOANS
Imprudent Act That Really Means
Man Is Borrowing From His
Widow.

Many men, pressed for money, %
to the life insurance company, de-
post their policy as security and Dor
row as much as the company Is will
ing to lend That the practice is COM
mon is proved by the fact that most
companies have loaned from fourth
to a third of the aggregate face value
OF their policies in this way. Very
few of these loans" says the annual
report of the Connecticut Mutual--and
this company's experience is typical
are ever repaid to the company. The
money e.. are swallowed up
in business enterprises, in specula-
ton and the total result
means embarrassment and distress in
a great many cases, and poverty in
the place of competence, when the
claims mature, and there is nothing
left above the loans but mere mar
gin in cash on the policies for the
protection of families or estates.
Men who borrow on their policies are
taking away protection from their
families. 1t ought not to be done

weather and parasitic enemies will
reduce the number of flies and mag
gots Of the next brood. If the dam
age Is heavy, however, and practical
ly all the plants are infested and half
would probably pillow up the crop and
plant to oats or any crop other than
wheat. Dry weather Is unfavorable
to the development of the little brown
objects called flaxseeds, which later
develop into flies. 1t may be, there
fore. IL the spring continues dry, there
will not be much harm from the spring
brood OF maggots. In most cases of
very heavy infestation of wheat by the
fly, and where 1t is desired to get the
ground down to clover, we would be

be troubled again with Hessian fly un.
less he plowed the stubble under or
burned 1t off Immediately after taking
off the present wheat crop. Even
then he might be troubled with flies
coming in from adjacent fields. To
prevent Hessian fly damage, rotate
crops. Hessian fly does not hurt any
small grain to any extent except
wheat Late fall seeding also helps
to prevent injury.

AMERICAN POTATO IS BARRED
Shortage Of French Crop Being Filled
by lmportations From Other Euro
pean Countries.

CBy CONSUL GENERAL F. H. MASON. }
The shortage in the French potato
crop has created a deficit which is
being filled by large importations
from other European countries, no
tably Great Britain, Austria, Germany
and Belgium.
Importations of potatoes from the
United States to France had been pro.
hibited since the decree of 1875, which
was inspired by fear Of the Colorado
potato bug, until that decree was an.
nulled on October Is, 1910, opening
the French markets to potatoes from
the United States, provided they are
clean, free from the soil In which
they were grown, and the packages
in which they are shipped contain no
stems or leaves of the potato plant.
AS result of this long prohibition
American potatoes are practically un
known in France, and French i'm
porters have no acquaintance or es
tablished relations with American ex
porters which would enable the trade
to be promptly taken up since the
withdrawal of the prohibitory decree
Partly for this reason, and partly be
cause many French people have still
lingering dread of some possible
disease in American potatoes and dc
not even know that the prohibition
against them has been withdrawn
they have not yet appeared in any
appreciable quantity on Che Pari.

w HE death sign, used exclusively
among southern Italians and
Sicilians, is made by placing
the forefnger of the right hand be-
tween the teeth. The instant the
sign is seen by the one for whom 1t
is intended the finger is withdrawn.
The entire movement rarely takes
more than two or three seconds
Often IT is made in single second,
and for that reason 1t escapes the
notice of even the sharpest observers.
When this sign is made by leader or
representative of a gang of bad men
IL never fails to strike terror into the
hearts of witnesses, no matter how
bold or courageous they may be. !
have seen witnesses who had pre-
viously declared their willingness to
testify and who were assured Of pro-
lection suddenly turn white as sheet
and refuse to utter another word
against the prisoner who was on trial.
The death sign had been given to
them in open court, and they knew
they would be killed II they said an
other word And 1t is undoubtedly
true that their lives would be for
feited If they disobeyed the sign. Not
in open court. of course, for the mem
bers of those gangs are arrant cow

their number would murder their vic

The uneducated southern Italians
and Sicilians with whom the police
have to deal are more superstitious
than any other race of people living
in New York. Sign omens have a
peculiar significance for them The
death sign is a tradition with them.
They have heard about 1t before they
could even talk. They are brought
up to dread 1t, just as they are
brought up to dread the Black Hand
