RAVAGES OF HESSlAN FLY.
Probably the Most Destructive Insect
to Wheat, Rye and Barley.


prepared By J. Troop. entomologist Pur-
due university agricultural experiment
station.
The Hessiau fly is probably the most
destructive insect to wheat, rye and
barley with which the farmer has to
contend. 1t seems to prefer wheat, but
1t is not uncommon during the seasons
when the fly is abundant for Il large
percentage of the rye and barley crops
to he destroyed. Oats are seldom If
ever attacked by this fly.
AS il well known. the fly usually
goes in cycles Of three or four years.
This is due. partially at least. to the
parasites which attack it, 80 that
we usually have about two years Of
abundance Of flies. when the parasites
become numerous enough to kill them
off, and then there are several seasons
when there are comparatively few
and the injury is so slight that it is
scarcely noticed. During these years
the parasites. finding very little upon
which to feed. naturally die of, and
this gives the few remaining flies ali
opportunity to breed and increase in
numbers without molestation until
they finally become numerous again.
Wheat is grown In every county III
Indiana. The number Of bushels rails
ell i'm 1911 ranged from $4,000 bushels
in Benton. which is a corn county, to
1.O31 coo bushels in POsey county, the
whole state yielding 34.596. 800 bushels.
In 1910 the yield was :}6. 1852, 900
bushels. OF an average Of $4,000, 600
bushels in round numbers. 1t is esti-
mated that an average of 10 per cent OF
the crop is lost annually from the raw
ages Of the fly. This would amount to
100000 bushels. which at - cents
per bushel would make $2.6o5.OOO as
the annual loss to Indiana farmers
from this source. 1t will be more than
that this year. 80
1t is safe to say that Il large part of
this loss could be prevented if farm

HOG Cholera DOn'tS

The following precautions are recon-
mended for keeping hog cholera from
an uninfected drove by b, T. Galloway,
Asst. Sec. of Agriculture.
|. Do not locate hog lots near a public
highway, n railroad or stream. The
germ OF hog cholera may be carried along
any one of these avenues
2. D0nOt allow strangers or neighbOrs
to enter your hog lots, and do not go in
to your neighbors' lots. If IL is absolute
ly necessary to pass from one hog lot in
to another, first clean your shoes care
fully and then wash them with per
cent solution Of the compound solution
of cresol (U. S. P)
3. DO not put new stock, either hogs
or cattle, in lots with herd already on
the farm. Newly purchased hogs should
be put In separate enclosures we'll sepa-
rated from the herd on the farm and
kept under observation for three weeks,
because practically all stock cars. un-
loading chutes. and pens are infected
with hog cholera, and hogs shipped by
rail are therefore apt to contract hog
cholera.
4. Hogs sent to fairs should be quar-
antined for at least three weeks after
they return to the farm.
5. If hog cholera breaks out on n
farm, separate the sick from the appar-
emily healthy animals, and burn all car
casses of death. Do not leave them un-
burned, or this will endanger all other
farmers in the neighbOrhOOd.
6. II after the observance Of all posi-
bic precautions hog cholera appears on
your farm, notify the State veterinarian,
| or State Agricultural college, and secure
serum for the treatment Of those not
affected The early application Of this
serum Is essential.
Some of these precautions may seem
unnecessary and troublesome, but they
do not cost much, and they are very
valuable preventive measures.

PREVENTION FOR
WHITE PLAGUE
Medical Authority Tells How To
Prevent and Advises Patients
Showing Symptoms

tuberculosis has many characteristics
in common with those Of noxious weeds"
Upon this theory the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association has formulated
Its programme, according to DR.. Ill. Il.
Dearholt of Milwaukee, director of the
health bureau Of the University of Wis
consin Extension division, and secretary
of the organization.
"The most certain means of prevent
ing the spread of weed pest is to gather
carefully and burn the seed," continued
Doctor Deurholt. Likewise, the most
certain way of preventing the spread of
consumption is to burn the seed.
Germs OF consumption are contained in
the expectorations of patients suffering
frem the disease. Therefore il all ex-
pectorations were carefully gathered
in special cups, napkins and papers
and burned before any of the seed
were scattered, tuberculosis would
become historical. Early knowledge at
the stage when the disease is most easily
cured requires skillful diagnosis and
patients should consult a skillful physi-
cian on first suspicion of infection. In
dividuals who have been subjected TO
prolonged contact should have periodic
examinations extending over a number
OF years.
Providing sanitorium care for ad-
vanced consumptives in great measure
cuts off the sources of infection. But
sufficient number of sanatorium beds
can not be secured In month or year.
And some patients may never consent to
go to n sanatorium Hence we must pro-
vide as good protection rs is possible
from consumptives in the home. We can
accomplish this by tho visiting nurse
and wider knowledge of the funda
mental facts in connection with the
nature, cure, and prevention of the
disease"

Meat Inspection

The United States government pro-
vides for inspection of all meat packing
plants which are engaged in interstate
and foreign commerce. The. methods
employed in large plants are exceedingly
interesting First, an inspection is made
of all live animals and suspects" are
culled for especially careful observation
and regulated handling. After slaugh-
ter, each process in the further prepara-
tion of the carcass Cor the market, is
carefully watched The inspectors be-
come highly skilled in the detection of
evidences of diseased tissue which passes
under their eyes and hands.
As in the case of the first live lnspec-
tion upon the first suspicion of disease,
an indelible brand suepends further prep
aratlon of the meat. The carcass is then
shipped to a special examining room for
further study and final disposition. By
this means, to reach the consumer the
body of a diseased animal would have to
pass the maryeiously keen observation of
number of highly skilled inspectors.
The diseases most often found are
tuberculosis and actinomycosis in cattle;
tuberculosis, hog cholera and various
blood and organic diseases in swine.
Some states have provided for inspec-
tion of abatt0irs not under federal juris-
diction. Wisconsin has made no such
provision. Dealers are sometimes sus-
pected of offering for sale to inspected
packing houses, only those animals which
are presumably healthy. If this be so,
meat from uninspected slaughter houses
is apt to be considerably below the nor
NAL average as concerns freedom from
disease.
In addition to the detection of diseased
meat, the inspectors maintain close
surveillance over the general cleanliness
OF the plant. If the packers ever resent
ed the rigid demands of the government,
no such resentment is now manifest.
Undoubtedly, they recognize the govern
ment stamp of approval to be of distinct
commercial value.
