With the arrival of recent rains
preparations are being made, in some
sections of the state, for wheat SOW
ing and there is the danger thar
some will SOW too early. With the
enormous Hessian fy injury still
fresh In mind and the great DANGER
that this will be repeated on the
next crop of wheat, farmers can
Well afford to take every possible
precauuon to prevent it. The fol-
lowing suggestions are offered bv
the Missouri Agricultural college as
a partial solution of the problem
The majority Of the Hessian flies
are still in the resting or flax seed
stage IN the wheat stubble which
has not been destroyed by plowine

bic the winged fly will soon come
out to deposit eggs on volunteer or

BILE has all been plowed under and
the ground thoroughly worked over
IN an entire community. there shoub
be less danger from the fly bur the
wheat should be Sown late even

taken, Where the Stubhle has NOT
