BIG LOSS BY HESSIAN FLY.

Frederick county farmers will lose
thousands of dollars next year when
the wheat crop is harvested because
of the Hessian fly. The loss may ag-
gregate more than a hundred thous-
and dollars. With the exception of
a small section practically all wheat
in this county is infested with the
insect. Twenty farmers are known to
have crops in which the fly has not
made inroads These men co-operat-
ed with Farm Demonstration in plant
ing wheat on and after October 6.
A tour of inspection of the county
has been made by Demonstration
Remsburg and DR.. August Stabler, of
the Agricultural Department. Many
crops were examined with the result
that a number we've found to be badly
infested with the fly Dr. Stabler says
that conditions existing in the coun-
~ illustrates that the theory of plant
ing wheat late is effective and farm
ers would do well to cooperate with
the officials of the department
THE United States Government
should make it a misdemeanor for
farmers to plant wheat before a GER
tain fixed period, fixed by the govern
ment," said one man. He declared
that not only is the Hessian fly in
furious to the crop in which it APP
pears, but it spreads to the adjoining
farms and over the entire county.
Sometime ago Demonstration Rems
burg announced that there was fly on
the farm of his father, and adjoining
farms in Middletown Valley. Since
that time he has made a thorough
examination of wheat crops in this
county. He finds that the insect ap-
pears in practically every wheat crop.
In some instances the second brood
has appeared and in this advanced
stage has gone into the wheat. Warm
weather has been responsible for the
activities of the insect. The prevail
ing weather conditions will halt all
development for the winter, but in the
spring the fly will appear.
Hessian fly is a dangerous insect
An infested crop loses from 10 to so
per cent. of its value. With this years
pield of wheat estimated at nearly
S2,0000000 an accurate of the loss in
money is seen if the fly causes the
minimum loss-10 per cent.
Nothing can be done now to exter-
inmate the pest. However, the farm
er can prevent the fly next fall by
sowing late, as specified by the de-
partment.

The general registration proved a
costly business to Frederick county.
This, together with the primaries and
the congressional and senatorial cleo
ton meant an expense to the county
of about $4,000.

HURT AT FIRE.

Flung from thirty-foot ladder as
the wall gave way, Lieutenant Harry
L. Hagan, was seriously injured early
yesterday morning while assisting in
| fighting a 100000 fire in Hagerstown
Lieutenant Hagan is in the Hagers-
town Hospital, badly cut about the
head and body.
Lieutenant Hagan was formerly
resident of Frederick. For several
years he was circulation manager of
| The Frederick Post. He is now en-
ployed in Hagerstown and is first lieu
tenant of Company B.
Hagan stood midway up the ladder,
and another fireman, William Shueler,
was directly beneath, when there was
an explosion on the top floor of the
burning building. The front wall
against which the ladder was rest
ing, crumbled and fell outward. The
ladder and the two fremen were sent
spinning into the air.
Schueler escaped with only a few
bruises about the arms. Hagan was
battered by a rain of falling bricks
glass and timbers. He was picked
up and taken to the engine mouse of
the Junior Fire Engine Company Ha-
gan regained consciousness a. the
engine house and talked with his
companions. He was removed to the
hospital where a thorough examina-
ton showed the following injuries:
Two bad scalp wounds, arm badly cut
by glass, and his body mass of small
cuts and bruises.
"Mr. Hagan is seriously, but not
fatally injured, was given out at the
hospital yesterday afternoon.
Hagerstown's second big fire broke
out yesterday morning about 1 o'clock
in, the M. ]. Simon building on North
Potomac street. The alarm was
sounded by Simon. The building was
occupied by Simon and Max Ruben.
An adjoining building, occupied by
Elliott and Myers, grocers, ard Duff
feel and Reed, dry goods merchants,
was also burned. The combined loss
is estimated at about 100000. 1t it
partly covered by insurance.
Six people were injured during the
! fire, by the rain of glass and bricks
which followed an explosion thought

of gas. Besides Lieutenant Hagan,
those injured are:
William Schueler, fireman, slightly
! injured.
Clarence Grimes, messenger, cut on
head
M. ]. Simon, slightly injured.
Claude Jacobs, fireman, cut by

DR.. Maximus Whitehill Now 6
Resident of Carroll County.


Resident Of Carroll County.
DR.. D. Maximus Whitehill, formerly
of Umionville, and one OF the best
known Democratic politicians of Freder-
lex county, is now a resident of Carroll
county, having changed his residence to
New Windsor few months ago.
DR.. Whitehill's son, DR.. R. E..
Whitehill, is well-known physician in
New Windsor, and at his suggestion the
parents moved there. Mrs. Whitehill
has been an invalid for sometime, and is
even now in a hospital undergoing treat
ment. The doctor has recently COM
pleted very handsome home in New
Windsor, and only awaits the recovery
of his wife to enjoy We trust, many,
many days of happiness.
During Governor Warfeld's admins
tration, DIR. Whitehill was head of the
State Bureau of Immigration, and he
continued over for several years with
Governor Crothers in the same capacity.
DR.. Whithill was always foremost fig
ure in the Democratic campaigns in this
county, and has many friends here who
will regret the necessity of his leaving
the county, but who wish him every
blessing that can be imagined
He dropped in to see us while in the
city few days ago, and was most well
come. His health is good, and he is
feeling in fine fettle. Our Carroll coun-
ty friends have made great acquisition
in DR.. Whitehill, and if he ever takes
up any political work with them, they
will know that he has been in the fight.

| Because of the unusually large num-
Der of pleas for assistance It was

Il thought that more than a hun
dred dollars, as a conservative esti-
mate, would be donated, said Mayor
Fraley last night at the City Regis
ter's office, when the contributions
had been counted 1T will furnish
sixty-three families with a dollars

the Mayor, the Rev. DR.. Dixon, acting
City Register Michael Mccartney, Po-
lice Sergeant Engelbrecht, Officers

half a ton of coal. After all money
had been counted several residents
of the town stepped into the Office and
donated $685..
This helps" said the Mayor just
before leaving the office. But few
days before Christmas we will give
the luXury-loving of Frederick an
other opportunity to deny them
selves or to assist in the work of car
ing for the poor of the city. A few
days before Christmas l will have a
dozen boxes stationed in conspicuous
places on the streets asking for con-
tributions ror the poor In the mean
time any that desire to make contribu-
tions may place them at the City Reg
ister's office or with the Rev. DR..
Thomas Freeman Dixon"
Among the sixty or more dollars
was a bright, shiny Canadian quar-
ter But that was the only one of
several surprises. A big envelopes,
with all the appearances of contain
ing a huge roll of bills, was opened,
and lone ten-cent piece rolled out
on the table. Wrapped about the
dime were number of bills ranging
in amounts from 25 cents to dollar.
They were credited on account" do
nations, giving the names of the per-
sons owing that particular firm.
The box on the square corner was
the most popular. At one time four
persons gathered about it and at
tempted to drop money at the same
time. officer Buster" Fraley was in
charge of this station.
"This money will be entirely for
the support of the poor in Frederick"
said the Rev. Dr. Dixon last night. He
explained that this money would not
go to the general fund of the FEEDER
ated Charities, but to the charity fund
of that association, and will be used
entirely for this city.
