HUGE MORGAN FORTUNE
Estimates of Late Ffnancier's Wealth
From SIS, 900 to $500, OOO,O 900.

New York, April 1.-Estimates to-

including his art collections. 1t is I'M
derstood the financier's will is of COM
paratively recent date, but no intima-
ton has been made as to when it will
be given to the public. Morgan's per-
sonaI counsel declines to discuss the
matter.
Those who shared Mr.. Morgan's close
friendship predict that there will be
large charities and public requests,
although it is conceded that the son,
J. P. Morgan, will doubtless receive the
bulk of the fortune.
Mr.. Morgans realty holdings were
comparatively small. BY far the great
er part of the estate, it is understood,
will be found to be made up of gilt
edged securities. Judging by his for
mer quiet philanthropy, those who
speculated today as to possible be-
quests thought that the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, the Episcopal church
and perhaps Yale and Harvard uni
versities would come in for handsome
benefits.

wind velocity was begun fifteen years
ago by the local government weather
bureau The average temperature,
precipitation and sunshine did not
vary to any great extent from the nor

colder than normal; the precipitation
was .95 of an inch below normal.
The report issued by the weather
department reads:
For the first time on record there

calendar month, which makes the
average hourly velocity of the month
a fraction less than IA miles There
were II days during the month when
the wind reached or exceeded the 20
mile an hour mark and the maximum
velocity of 81 miles an hour on the
evenings of the 23rd is the record high
wind for March.
There was but one cold wave dur
ing the month, but the average tenn
perature, 80 degrees, was 2 degrees
below normal. There were 20 days
when the temperature fell to freezing
or lower and 10 days with measurable
snow on the ground all of which had

FLIES INJURE CROP
Prediction That Yield Will Be
Slight i'm Northeast Kansas.
Agricultural College Professor
Gives Some Valuable Advice.

Manhattan, Kan, April MANY
wheat fields in northeastern Kansas
and along the Kaw valley from Bon
ner Springs to Salina are so badly in
tested with Hessian flies that the
prospects for crop from these fields
are very slight. If these fields have
not already been plowed under, they
should be, at once, G. a. Dean, state
entOmolOgiSt at the Kansas Agr1cul-
tural college says. The land then may
be used for other purposes.
There is a slight infeStation of the
fly in almost the entire eastern half
of the state, and although it is most
serious in the northeastern part and
along the Kaw valley, every farmer
growing wheat should make careful
examination for these insects and then
decide whether the infested wheat will
be worth saving.
Any farmer can determine whether
his wheat is infested by making care
full examination of the plants. At this
time of the year the flies are little,
brown, oval, flaXseed- shaped objects,
a little less than one-fourth of an inch
long. If present, they can be found
lying lengthwise of the leaf sheath
and the stalk at a point just above the
crown or the place from which the
covering leaves arise.
Should Make Examinations.
Pull up a bunch of wheat, roots and
stalk. When making these exam1na-
lions, short, dead wheat stalks will be
noticed. Examination will show that
these are worse infested with flies
than the others. These are small and
dead because they are infested. The
flies have passed the winter in this
condition.
Beginning with the first week in
April and continuing through the
month, these flaxseeds will give up
little MOSQUITO like flies that will lay
their eggs on the blades of the grow
ing wheat. These eggs will soon hatch
and the reddish maggots will make
their way down in the plants as in the
fall, with this difference, that the
wheat being older, the joints above
which they come to rest and feed will
be higher on the plant. The more
backward the wheat when the spring
brood of flies are on the wing, the
lower down on the plant their mag
gots will be found. Here they feed.
grow, turn white, reach maturity, and
transform to flaXSeed-like bodies
about harvesting time. This is the
brood that causes the crinkling or lop-
ing over of the wheat from one to two
weeks before harvesting time.
Nothing can be done just now to
prevent the injury in the infested
fields, Prof. Dean says. However, If
the field is so infested as to give little
promise for a crop, it should be plow
ed under and the land used for other
planting. Oats or corn may be put in
on the same ground without any dan
ger of infestation from this pest.
