GRAIN LOUISE ON WHEAT
NOT SERIOUS


The common grain Louise is now
coming in for its share Of attention
along with the army worm, the chinch
bug and the Hessian fly. II is a small
green or yellowish- green louise which
collects in the heads of wheat. The
mature louise has wings. 1t attacks
wheat by sucking the sap. In some
localities it is very abundant and may
injure the late wheat. Injury to rip
ening wheat is usually quiet slight
even though the pest may be abund-
ant. This is not the much dreaded
green bug which comes early in the
spring and which attacks the stems
and leaves of wheat completely kill
ing the plant.
The grain louise develops every rap
idly and when the weather is favor
able for its development and unfayor-
able for its enemies, it is able to do
considerable damage to wheat.
The past spring has been n favor
able one for the grain louise and as a
result the Missouri College of Agri-
culture is receiving samples from
many sections of the state with re-
quests for information MS to its ident-
lty and means of control.
There is nothing that can be done
to control this pest at this time.
Spraying might help but it is too ex-
pensive to carry out on Il large scale
in the wheat field. Uuless the wealth
or in the next week or two be unusual,
the parasites, lady beetles and other
enemies of the lice will develop rap
idly and destroy them. Judging from
the. samples which the Missouri Col
lcge of Agriculture has received, these
enemies Of the lice are already at work
throughout the state and once they be
gin to attack this pest they soon con.
troll it. There is probaly little need
to fear grain louise unless it he eN-
trcmcly abundant on wheat which is
already suffering from dry weather,

Hull, Not Well Known.

DAVENPORT. Feb. 11.--The prfn-
cipal reasons for Hull's defeat are
generally conceded by political lead
ers here to be the handicap Of his
lack Of acquaintance among the peo-
pie.
On the other hand Vollmer is we'll
known and is quite popular. He IS
an eloquent speaker, and did some en-
fective platform work during tiis
campaign just closed.
Hanley, the progressive candidate,
was another handicap, drawing more
largely from the republican ranks
than from the democratic, and thus
cutting into Hull's vote Had not
the republican forces been thus divid-
ed 1t is possible that Vollmer would
have met defeat.
The campaign was fougho largely
on the tariff issues and 1t was thought
that the farmers would rally to Hulls
banner. They did and 1t was In the
country districts that the republican
candidate got the most OF his votes
But vollmer overcame this strength
with his popularity In the cities.
