LOOK OUT FOR HESSIAN
FLIES NEXT YEAR.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside an Indiana expert is reported
as sending out warning to the farm
ers of that state in which he says that
all evidence points to maximum crop
of Hessian flies during the coming
year Following is an extract from the
article:
"The annual loss in Indiana due to
the flies is accurately estimated at
$685. 900. In waging warfare against
the flies the following things are rec
ommended:
Thorough preparation of the soil,
so as to form the best possible condi-
ton for sprouting; heavy fertilizing, if
the soil is not already in good condi-
ton, to insure quick and rapid growth;
and late sowing, so as to compel the
flies to go elsewhere to lay their eggs.
These are points worth considering.
The adult fly is very seldom seen, but
is described as being like a miniature
one tenth OF an inch in
length, dark color, slender legs, ana
without one pair of wings All states
recommend the late sowing Of winter
wheat in order to avoid devastation
from the fly"

San Francisco, Dec 29-Confident
that the hour has struck for sweeping
reforms in the retail distribution of in
toxicating liquors in California, the
California Grape Protective associa-
tion, through Attorney Theodore Bell,
has announced its intentions to take
the initiative in a legislative reform
program. This is to be done despite
the fact that California voters over
whelmingly defeated proposed prohi-
bition amendment to the state consti-
tuition in the November election. The
legislative program which the associa-
tion hopes to put through is as fol-
lows:
County option, except in cities hay-
ing 5000 or more inhabitants; in Ii
censed territory, not more than one
saloon for each 1000 inhabitants or
major fraction thereof, exclusive of
table licenses for hotels and restau-

and fermented liquors, as distinguish
ed from distilled liquors, no saloon
license to be issued to an Individual,

Gossip Of SpOrtdOm
BY HAL SHERIDAN.

fWritten for the United Press.)
New York, Dec. 29.-If the reform
ers of the fighting game in this state
have their way during the coming ses-
sion of the Legislature there will be no
more boxing. Despite the efforts of
the boxing commission to keep the
sport clean the reformers declare the
Flawley law hasn't abolished betting
and brutality. They maintain that
the sport as it is played now is still
prize fighting, pure and simple.
1t can be said that the refcrmers are
not entirely without support and sym
pathy. When the last attempt was
made to repeal the Frawley law it al
most met with success. Lawmakers
from upstate sustained the repeal Wig
orously as the sentiment toward the
sport in their districts was anything
but favorable.
During that time the reformers
spread stories Of frame-up fights, bet
ting and gave instances of brutality.
The same tactics it is believed, will
be resorted to this time with the
Smith-Coffey bout, which was fought
early this month, used as an instance.
It is alleged that during the fight
rlngside spectators violated the betting
daw and several witnesses can be pro
uuced who saw transactions made and
odds offered II to 10 on Smith.
i is quite possible that Gov.-eIect
Whitman viii do something to save
the exit Of the pugilist But his atti
tude is unknown beyond the fact that
he has stated that he is not opposed
TO the game, properly conducted.

fants' lives would be saved, for there
would be no intestinal disease.
This would mean the saving of
money, for it is we'll known that the
lives mean money to the nation, and
also much misery would be avoided
The measures suggested are mere
ly those of ordinary situation-an eff

In recent years we have heard
much of the campaigns known as
Swat the Fly" movements, and they
have to a great extent been effective
hut fear many people are not giving
this matter the attention, from a san
itary standpoint, that it should have
Flies should be regarded as a sign OF
insanitation and their numbers as q
measure of that insanitation.
II is a general custom to screen
the doors and windows of our homes
as well as the doors and windows OF
every place We live or eat, as a pro
lection against flies. This custom is
good, but II we look upon the fly the
same as upon a dangerous animal, OF

The length of iy's life varies with
the atmospheric conditions. In very
hot summers many of the house flies
die when the weather becomes very
dry and oppressive, but when the
temperature is moderate a fy's life
is prolonged. In the hottest summers
a f1y's life is believed to be about
three weeks, but some observers
have kept flies alive, even in the
warmest weather for sixteen weeks.
Very hot and very dry weather GER

flies.
The elimination of the fly will dc
