INJURY FROM HESSIAN FLY.

Dates for Sowing Wheat in Different
Parts of State.
The Hessian Fly has caused more or
less severe injury in all parts of the
State the past season. In some cases it
has reduced the crop of wheat from rs to
so per cent.
The general increase of the pest makes
it necessary for farmers to exercise every
care in preventing, as far as possible,
severe injury another year.
The insect passes the summer in the
wheat stubble. Where not interfering
with clover the stubble should be burnt
over. No volunteer wheat should be al
lowed to grow during the summer. Ro-
tation of crops is very beneficial.
On farms where the pest has been SER
ious, narrow plats of wheat should be
sowed in late summer, about September
LIST to 10th, depending on locality, as
bats for the Fly. Later this can be
plowed down.
From observations and records, con-
sidering the latitude and altitude at the
various points, wheat should be sowed in
the surrounding country of the following
cities and towns of the State before the
dates given:
Oakland, Sept. 1919; Hagerstown, Oct.
IT; Frederick, Oct. $40; Westminster,
Sept. % to Oct. S; Rockville, Oct. 2-s;
Germantown, Oct. 2-8; Ellicott City,
Oct. 20; La Plata, 9-18; Cockeysville,
Oct. $40; Bel Air, Oct. 20; Elkton. Oct.
20; Chestertown, Oct. GLIB; Easton, Oct.
9-16; Salisbury, Oct. 1917.
Dates of sowing for adjoining sections
to the above can be figured by moving
forward the date of sowing one day for
each one-quarter degree latitude North,
and one day for each 100 feet gain in al
titude from given point.
A wet August and September may
cause an early disappearance of the Fly,
while protracted fall drouth and warm
weather may cause later disappearance.
The adoption of uniform, safe period
for sowing wheat in each locality by all
the farmers is of the greatest Importance.
This subject should be discussed at
farmers meetings and united effort Sc
cured to reduce the injury from this pest
of our most important staple crop.

MUCH DAMAGE DONE.
Lightning, Wind and Rain
Causes Loss of Property in
County and State.

County and State.
During the past week much damage
has been done in the county and state by
severe electrical wind and rain storms,
this immediate section, however, escap-
ing their fury.
On Friday evening of last week Fred
erick city was visited by cloudburst and
a 25-mile an hour. wind. The following
we quote from the Frederick News Of
Saturday last:
'What was easily the severest storm
of the season passed over Frederick at
9 O'Clock last night. The lightning was
the most vivid seen here in years, and
almost every bolt seemed to be followed
by loud peals of thunder. In the two
hours during which the rain continued,
LII inches of water fell, which is the
greatest amount of water to fall in this
time in the years the local observer has
been in charge of the station here.
Market street was filled from curb to
curb, and at number of places the wa
ter passed upon the pavements.
During the storm lightning followed
the electric light wire into B. F. Groves
store, and set fire to the paper on the
wall around the chandelier.
"A ball of fire from the lightning fell
on the feed wire of the Frederick Rail-
road on N. Market street, burning the
wire into. A number of chimneys were
struck and badly damaged.
Manager Stake, of the C. & p. Tele-
phone Co. stated that the storm had put
about 600 phones out of commission, $50
being in the city and the remainder in the
county.
"At Walkersville and Woodsboro the
storm was nearly as severe as in Freder-
ick. At Woodsboro lightning followed
telephone wire into the residence of Geo.
Hull, tearing hole in the brick wall.
Two cows were struck by lightning and
killed for Sidney H. Walker, who resides
near Walkersville.
On Sunday afternoon last Baltimore
city and county was visited by an cleo
trical storm. Many persons made mar
row escapes from being drowned in the
bay and other waters near the city. The
street cars were tied up owing to the
damage done the wire by the wind.
Many houses were struck and damaged
by lightning. several of them being set
on fire.
At Cumberland, Md, five little girls
were caught in shower and took shelter
under tree. Lightning struck the tree
and killed one of the children, the others
being badly stunned.
A dispatch from St. Louis dated l4th
states that four persons were killed at
Alton, ILL.,, on that date by cloudburst.
Two miles of street was destroyed, six
buildings destroyed, causing property
loss of $780,
A dispatch from Rockville, Nd, says
that while services were being held in
a Methodist church at Ounce Orchard,
four miles distant, Sunday, lightning en-
tered the church and seriously injured
three women.
A severe storm swept over the south
ern portion of Washington county Sun
day night. Many houses were struck by
lightning and numerous trees blown down.
At Edgemont the Western Maryland train
was delayed on account of the lightning
striking pole and throwing it across
the track.
Howard county was visited Sunday by
that country. Roads were washed and
bridges swept away.

Leg Badly Injured.

Last week while in the mill going about
with the man employed to operate the
mill, one of the little sons of DR.. and Mrs.
E. d. Neighbors of Lewistown, was
caught in the betting and his left leg
was injured very badly. The bone was
not broken, but bent, between the knee
and ankle. Just previous to the accident
the mill was not running, but water of
sufficient quantity and weight leaked into
the wheel to set it in motion and thus
catch the boys leg.

How to Prevent Cholera.

Every hog and poultry raiser knows
how great are the losses sustained every
year by the ravages of cholera. There
are many remedies on the market for the
prevention and cure of this disease but
none that has SO fully produced satisfac-
tory results as Cal-Sino, which is the
greatest known preventive. 1t has been
before the public for number of years
and the manufacturers have in their pos
session thousands of testimonials from
raisers who have successfully used it as
a cure and preventive. Mixed with the
food it will ward off cholera and other
bowel disorders and keep hogs or fowls
in prime condition. CalSino is put up in
powder form in metal cans so it will re-
tain its medicinal value, one for swine
and one for poultry. The Royal Distrib-
uting Company, Baltimore, Md, the
manufacturers of Cal-Sino remedies, will
send free to live stock owners their CO.

COURT IS ASKED FOR
INJUNCTION.
Marshall Gaugh and Ernest
Powell, Relatives, at Odds.

marshall Gaugn ana ErheSC
Powell, Relatives, at Odds.
Marshall A. Gaugh, of Thurmont,
through his attorney, Chas. c. Waters.
last Thursday afternoon secured an in
junction restraining his nephew, Ernest
r. Powell, from entering or trespassing
upon his premises and taking up or put
ting down pipes for conveying water to
fish ponds of Powell situated on the prop
erty of VIM. A. Fogle.
1t seems that some years ago Powell
entered into contract with his uncle to
secure water from the latter for use in
the many fish ponds which Powell con-
ducts about 1hurmont. He also induced
his uncle to 60 into the fish business and
the ponds each had been supplied by
the one pipe line, which runs to the
ponds from stream upon the Gaugh
land.
Mr.. Gaugh, it is said, contends that
when the line was put down Powell
agreed to pay rental for the use of the
water and this has not been done. The
pipes have failed to supply the needed
water for the Powell ponds, and it is also
claimed by Powell that his uncle shut off
the water. Powell claims possession of
the pipes and Thursday morning took
force of men on the Gaugh land for the
purpose.o of removing the pipes, although
he had been officially notified not to tres
pass.
Mr.. Gaugh also claims that the water
has been diverted from the pipe which
now furnish his own ponds with water.
Powell had with him Deputy Sheriff
Stull. Gaugh is alleged to have placed
shot gun on his shoulder and gore out on
his land to where Powell and party were
working. He told them to leave his
land, whereupon it is alleged Stull placed
him under arrest, and took the gun from
him, deputizing three men to do this.
Gaugh claims there was no warrant for
his arrest and also that he did nothing to
warrant an arrest. He was taken to
Frederick in an automobile and war
rant issued before Judge Posey, charg-
ing him with assault and battery. Judge
Posey held Gaugh for the action of the
grand jury.
1t was after being taken to Frederick
that Mr.. Gaugh consulted an attorney,
and decided to secure an injunction re-
straining Powell or his men from remov-
ing the pipe or trespassing upon his land.
Judge Motter granted the injunction with
the customary leave to Powell to move
for it's dissolution. The court set Thurs
day for hearing in the case. Harp,
Stoner and Weinberg represent Powell
