BULB WORM OR STEM MAGGOT
Little Pest Works Its Way Down Into
Crown of Wheat Plant and
Causes Much Damage.

The wheat bulb worm or stem mag
got causes much damage in the wheat
field. These little green worms change
to a pupal form in April and May, be-
coming little yellow flies, much re-
sembling a small househy. in June.
These flies lay their eggs on the upper
wheat leaves. The eggs hatch into
the little greenish-white worms with
the small black feeding hooks at one
end. These worms crawl down the
wheat leaf and feed on the stalk. caus-
ing the part of the stalk above where
they are feeding to turn white. This
brood of worms stays in the straw till
July or August, when it changes into
another brood of flies. The flies, by
laying eggs on volunteer wheat and on
grasses, produce another brood of
flies by September or October. 1t was
this third brood that laid the eggs
which Matched into the little green
worms we speak Of. This brood of
worms does damage by working it's
way down into the crown of the wheat
plant. often cutting off the central
stem and in this way causing consid-
cradle damage.
IL it were not for the numerous para
site enemies of this wheat pest, 1t
might become more dangerous than
the Hessian fly, which it resembles
very much in its general habits. In
one respect it is even worse than the
Eessian fly, in that it can feed on
many other grasses beside wheat
There are few practical measures Of
controlling the pest. Rotation OF crops
and late planting of winter wheat are
not as effective as with Hessian fly.

COUNTRY ROADS OF CONCRETE
One That Cannot Become Muddy and
at All Times Provide Secure Safe
Footing Is Desired.

It is becoming more and more evil
dent to farmers and those interested
in good country roads that more
lasting material than eartn or the or
binary macadam must be used. Near
Coshocton, O., two concrete roads
have been built which have success
fully withstood one severe winter and
show no wear either from traffic or
weather.
The first view shows 10-foot con-
crete strip laid on the old roadbed.
The second shows an 18-foot strip Of
the full width of the road. The lat
ter joins the macadam road which is
deeply worn and rutted. Concrete in
the first case replaced a block stone
road, which had given away under
heavy floods and travel, and the other,
a limestone macadam road, whose life
was only one year, due to heavy traf-
fic At present the 18-foot strip road
carries all travel from the concrete
road and also from another brick road
and shows much less wear than the
brick.
A country road which cannot be-
come muddy, which will give at all
times a secure footing for horses and
which will need little or no repairs,
would be the greatest improvement in
farm conditions that has been made
in recent years. Concrete seems to be
the only material combining these
qualities with low cost A decade
crete may equal our city pavements
in efficiency under all conditions of
weather.

Protecting Grain.

Grosbeaks sometimes steal corn
from cribs, but the remedy is obvious.
A lining of small-meshed wire netting,
besides protecting the contents of the
crib from birds, does greater service
by keeping out mice and rats.
Standing grain may be insured
against the attacks of small birds by
planting few rows of millet on the
edge of the field. Millet is a prime
favorite with all grain-eating birds,
and should he sown so as to ripen at
the time the grain is exposed to dam
