BANQUET

The High School Alumni Associa-

at the High School building, Friday
evening, June II, 1914, in honor of
the graduates of the class of 1914. A
goodly number were in attendance
and each one seemed to vie with an
other in having a real good old fash
toned time. "Reminiscences were
INDUCED in, class feelings reviv-
ed, and old acquaintance re-
newed. Especially to be noted
was the true school spirit which
marked the occasion bespeaking
much for their loyalty to their
alma mater. A good program was
rendered in which the president in
his address made all the new mem
bers feel as though they were truly
welcome. The responses, toasts,
roasts, etc, were all good and en-
joyed by everyone, as were also the
''eats" which were in abundance. A
business meeting was held after the
banquet in which the following Off

The Wheat Straw Worm

Prof. Geo. A. Dean, state entomolo-
gist, has identified the worm that is
causing the white heads inthe wheat
adds that there is possibly some in
jury from the joint worm.
There are two two broods of the
wheat straw worm annually, the first
brood is usually wing ess and smaller
than the second brood. To the ordi-
nary observer the adults appear like
minute or large, shining black ants.
These insects pass the winter in the
stubble and straw. also in some of
the grasses along ravines and road
sides.
The most practicable means of
control is by rotation of crops. The
growing of wheat continuously on
the same ground, has tendency to
increase the insect pests of that crop.
The adults of the first generation of
the wheat straw worm being small
and mostly wingless can be very
effectively controlled by introducing
a cultivated crop into the rotation so
that wheat will not he grown on the
same ground two years in succession.
Burning the straw and stubble, of
course, would be very effective in de-
stroying the pest but for other
reasons is not advisable unless in an
extreme case when the infestation
has nearly destroyed the crop Feed
ing the straw to stock will also
destroy the worms in the straw. We
have observed few fields that were
quite badly Infested but the per-
centage in the most fields will not
run very high We have observed
that stubbled wheat as rule has
shown a greater infestation than
corn-stock or plowed land Discing
and blowing soon after harvest will
aid in keeping the pest under control
Incidentally this is usually a good
practice to conserve moisture and
prepare good seed bed for fall seed
