SNOW PROTECTS WINTER WHEAT

CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-Ihe Modern Miller

part OF the winter wheat belt have furnished
danger of serious injury from sudden freeze
For the present the condition is all that eouid
be desired, as there is no particularly severe
weather reported anywhere. and the temper
sture is sufficiently low to put an end TO
activities Of Insect pests. Radical steps are
being taken In sections where green bugs have
been prevalent, looking TO their eradication.
Some localities In which the rayages Of Hes

owing 10 the protecting warm weather the
brood OF flies have hatched and flown away
thus rendering their destruction by cold
