The sixteenth of September,
You took the vows that made you one,
How well you both remember.
In double harness logged along
Thro' June and through December,
Thro' stormy days and sunny days,
o we'll do you rem ember,
And many changes you have seen
While journeying on together.
In everything save one. your love,
You find it changes never,
You've walked together up the hill
And now as you're descending,
You're still together hand in hand,
We hope until the ending.
And when life's duties all are done.
And you have crossed the river,
May you receive a golden crown
And dwell with Christ forever.
Many who wera unable to be present sent
cards of congratulation.

FOX GOOD ROADS IN '93.
Col. Boothby, Frye, Hale, Reed and
Milliken.

The Kennebec Journal is in receipt of
a !letter from Col. Frederic E. Boothby
of Waterville. enclosing interesting let
tiers from his private correspondence
concerning good roads for Maine. Mr..
Boothby says great many men claim it
was through their support that present
conditions were brought about. The cor
respondence referred to shows that Mr..
Boothby was actively interested in pro-
noting good roads as far back as Janu-
airy, 1893. He then wrote to Maine men
in Congress touching the possible estab-
lishment of National Highway De-
partment. or Bureau, and some of the
replies to his letters follow:

while abroad with the perfectness of
their highways. To be sure the expense
of building them does not compare with
what it would cost us; but the advan-
tages to be derived by US with our i'm

theirs. l hardly see, however, what can
be done in this Congress in this regard,
There seems to be determination or

F, E. Boothby, ESQ.,, Portland, Maine.
My Dear Sir: have your letters with
the circular enclosed and will give the
matter consideration. imagine that the
agitation will do no good on the general
subject of roads, but l should think it
would be very difficult task to establish
a Department or Bureau. However, if
the interest in the community becomes
sufficiently general most anything can be
done.
The United States has so little direct
ly to do with good roads that that fact
constitutes the chief obstacle.
Very truly yours,

FLY I'M WHEAT MAY BE CON.
TRoLLED BY TIMELY SEEDING.
T. B. sYMoNs.
Maryland Agricultural College,

The Hessian fly can be controlled
largely by late planting, rotation OF
crops and not allowing volunteer
wheat to grow on fallow ground. The
treatment is essentially one in which
the host plant is kept away until the
last fall egglaying brood of the insect
has disappeared. The date of it's dis,
appearance depends on the latitude,
altitude and weather conditions A
wet September may cause an early
disappearance. while long fall
drought and warm weather may cause
much later disappearance. Taking
all into consideration, wheat should
not be sown in the vicinity of the fol-
lowing cities and towns of the State
before the dates given:
Oakland, September ~ to 49,; Ha-
