HEsslAN FLY APPEARS.
College Exports to Wage War on Pest
in Page County.

Spccitl to Time Republican
Ames May 23--l'or the first time In
some years the dreaded Hcssian fly has
made its appearance in n serious way
in southwestern Iowa wheat fields.
Farmers in Page and adjoining coun
ties. who sent samples of the insect
that is affecting their wheat crop to
Prof. Fl. +. Summers. of Iowa State
College state entomologlst, had their
worst fears confirmed when he identi-
fed them as the destructive pest. AL
ready serious infestation has taken
place.
With the department Of agricultural
extension CO. operating. the college has
taken immediate steps to lend aid to
the farmers in that part OF the state to
combat the fly. II. L. Webster. assist
ant state entomologist, has already
gone. and c. S. Dorchester. OF the ex
tension staff. will go at once to Page
county to study conditions there and
to advise the farmers. Professor Dor
chester will remain In the infested re-
gion Cor several weeks and Will make
personal visits from farm to farm to
advise as TO treatment.
Word has already been sent that
where the Hessian fly Is very abund-
ant it is very important that the crop
be sacrificed and that the fields be
plowed under at once. turning under
as deeply as possible. They may then
be planted to corn. All fields that are
not plowed should be turned over as
soon as the crop is harvested. This will
kill the insect on the stubble as 1t is

According TO the local entomologists.
prompt and thorough measures are
necessary II the wheat fields in south
