DRUG HOUSE ENJOINED
BY FEDERAL COURT

Judge jeremiah Neterer, Of the
United States district court, to-day
granted a permanent injunction in be-
half of the Centaur Company Of New
York, the manufacturers of F1etchers
Castoria, against the Stewart &
Holmes Drug Company of this city.
The controversy arose from the sim
ulating of the labels of this well-known
preparation, and from the evidence
filed in the case it was shown that the
infringing label was first discovered
on sale in Honolulu, and was traced to
its origin here in Seattle.
The defendant company is one of
the Oldest and largest concerns of its
kind in the Northwest.
The decree carries with 1t an order
that the Stewart & Holmes Company
recall the goods which are on the mar
ket under the infringing label, and to
pay all costs in the suit and damages
assessed at S4O0.-Seattle, Wash,

Controlling the >Hessian Fly
BY Leonard Haseman

The Hessian fly is again attracting
the attention of wheat growers, es-
pecially in the northwestern part of
the state where in some sections a
large majority of the fields are badly
infested. The pest began its work
last fall on the young wheat and pass
ed the winter in the base of the wheat
plants in the brown faxlseed stage.
With the first warm days of spring
the small mosquito-like flies escaped
from these winter cases and laid eggs
for the first spring brood of maggots.
These maggots are now nearly ma
ture at the base of the plants. Bad
ly infested wheat is turning yellow
and falling. Between now and wheat
cutting time Il second swarm of flies
will appear to lay eggs for another
brood of maggots WHICH will be full
fed and pass the summer in the stub
bic Of the flaxseed stage. From the
middle of August to the last of Sep
TENDER the third swarm of flies will
emerge from these summer cases
ready to lay eggs again in early sown
wheat.
At this time little can be done to
control this pest, unless the field be
so badly infested that it is advisable
to pasture it or pillow it under and
plant corn or some other crop. In
some cases this may be advisable, but
wherever the wheat is still green and
has healthy appearance at least a
partial crop will mature and in such
cases it had better be harvested. One
must use judgment in deciding what
n Ia tuit I'D a. Al.
time.
The Entomology Department of the
Missouri College Of Agriculture at
Columbia will examine samples of in
Tested wheat and offer suggestions as
to what had best be done with such
wheat. One should collect samples ut
random and not simply the most bad
ly infested plants, otherwise an eX-
animation would lead to wrong con-
illusions.
Badly infested fields which are per-
mtted to ripen should be cut as early
as possible and the wheat removed
from the field. Then pillow the stub
bic under at once and work the soil so
as to completely cover all stu5ble. The
fly passes the summer almost entire
ly in the resting stage in the stubble
and If this summers brood is plowed
under or burned, the pest can be
stamped out. Then next fall delay
the sowing Of wheat until the FIRST or
possibly the second week in October
so as to escape those flies which man
age to pass the summer. All farm
ers in an infected region should CO.
operate in this work to secure the
best results. There are few pests of
field crops which can be so simply and
so effectively controlled as the Hes
sian fly.

Getting Ready For Big Crop

With reports indicating record
breaking crops for the wear through
out the territory served by its lines,
the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain
Railroad is putting forth vigorous eff
forts toward getting its box cars in
iirst-Class condition so the will be
available for service when the grain
movement begins. TO that end, many
Of the company's cars are being pra-
tically rebuilt. At the plant Of the
American Car and Foundry Company
at Madison, H., from II to 10 box
cars are being thoroughly overhauled
daily for account of this railroad.
The St. Louis works of the same COM
pany is turning out five box cars daily
for the Missouri Pacific, where their
plant at Memphis, Tenn. is handling
about the same number. The Sheffield
Car and Equipment Company at Kan
sas City is also doing part of this re-
pair work, about seven cars daily
being the average out put for that
plant.
In addition, the Missouri Pacific
shops at Little Rock, Ark, have been
making full repairs to from five to
ten cars daily, while the company's
shops ut Sedalia and DeSoto, Mo-,
combined have been turning out about
ten cars each day. Altogether, close
to so cars, practically new, are being
turned out mt the different shops
every day for this railroad, and the
operating officials say that as result
Of this work the company should be
in a position to successfully handle
its share of the heavy grain movement
which is expected to begin about July
