II examination OF the winter wheat
helds shows that nearly every plant
is infested with little brown objects
resembling flaxseed. there is probable.
ity of the field being badly damaged
In the spring. Our correspondent has
mistakenly called these brown objects
eggs. They are not eggs. but are
forms into which the maggots that
did damage last fall have developed.
These faxseeds. as they are called.
will do no more damage themselves.
but will develop in the spring into
the small black flies. that will lay
more eggs on the wheat. which, in
turn. will develop into maggots and
burrow into the straw. The develop
ment Of the faxseed into flies Is
hindered by hot. dry weather. Fields
which are badly infested with max.
seed this winter will produce a re-
duced field. due to the damage to the
straw Of the next generation Of Hes
sian ny maggots. The amount Of this
damage will depend on the weather.
the fertility Of the soil. and the re-
sisting power Of the particular variety
Of wheat.
We cannot give definite advice as
to whether badly infested fields
should be plowed up this spring. II
the plants were not badly damaged by
the masvots last fall. and came
through the winter in good shape. We
would be inclined to let the field re-
main in wheat Otherwise. We would

WASHINGTON IRVINC'S FAILURE

that Mr.. Goodwin told me this anec-
dote. More than so years had passed
since that dinner took place.
1T was known in New York that
Dickens greatly admired some OF tho
writings OF Washington Irving" con-
tinued Mr. Goodwin. The story OF Rip
Van Wrinkle he regarded as a gem OF
fairy tales. He concurred In the Amer
lean judgment that Irving was fore
most among American literary men
So 1t was thought that Dickens would
be especially gratified II Irving were
called upon to preside at the great
banquet. and that opinion was correct
Il remember. however. that several
OF the gentlemen who made the ar
rangements for the dinner were In
great doubt as whether Mr.. Irving
would consent to preside or not. They
were sure that he would gladly DO
present. but they thought 1t would
need much persuasion to induce him
to accept the post OF presiding host
That doubt arose from the fact. then
well known. that Mr.. Irving could
never be prevailed upon to make .
speech He had made one or two
attempts earlier and had broken down,
Irving, who had just recently been
appointed minister to Madrid. was liv-
ing In n small two-story house In Irv-
ing place. and when the dinner com
mittee called upon him there and
asked him to preside at the dinner no
absolutely declined. Indeed. not until
several visits had been made to him
was he at last prevailed upon to &C
cept the post, when he said. half re-
luctantly. that no would write little
speech OF welcome and commit It
thoroughly to memory. but that the
committee would have TO rely upon
some one else 10 make the chief ad.
dress Of the evening.
Mr.. irving never looked better or
seemed more confident OF himself than
when tho distinguished company was
assembled ut the table. Dickens sat
at his right hand. The company was
very merry and companionable. Dick
ems himself was in high spirits.
When Mr.. Irving raped for order.
and having secured II. stood before
tho company to mako the opening ad-
dress. every one was sure that he had
conquered his innate modesty. Ho DO
gan in n clear. distinct voice. but he
had spoken only four or nvc words
when his voice trcmbled. embnrr'ss.
mcnt came upon him. and with curl
Gus gesture OF despair he sank into
his seat. his speech unfinished. Dick.
ems had been warned that Irving
might break down. 30 that he was pre-
pared for this catastrophe. Quietly.
he leaned over and whispered some
comforting words to IrvinE-no ono
ever knew what they wcrc-and the
feast went on ~ though nothing ha1
happened.
Dickens understood the tcmpcra.

possible for irving TO speak In pub.
