Farmers in Politics

1t is believed locally that action of the
farmers was foreshadowed long enough
ago to make kitchin safe in leading the
fight against national defence. The

It was not long before the restraints imposed upon me by my high rank galled me to an unbear- able degree.

FRUIT FERTILIZED BY BEES
CoIored, Fragrant Petals Of Blossom
Are Advertising Signboard Tell
ing Where Honey Is.

tBy FRANCIS JAEGER, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
If there were no bees fruit trees and
other plants could not produce fruit.
Apple, plum, cucumber, clover, alsike,
alfalfa, are fertiliZed by bees. Honey
is the bait with which the bee is in
duced to perform this task. The col
ored, fragrant petals of the blossom
are the advertising signboard telling
the bee where the honey may be
found.
If the blossom is to "set fruit the
bee with it's fuzzy body must brush
some of the yellow dust called pollen
from the male organs or antlers of the
blossom, and, flying away to another
blossom, deposit this pollen on the fe-
male organ, called the stigma. The
blossoms are so arranged that to get
at the honey the bee must first brush,
with it's pollen-covered body, against
the stigma, thus completing the polli-
nation.
AS soon as it has performed its
duty, it may draw check for the
work in the form of drop of honey
at the bottom of the blossom. While
drawing this pay, the bee is involun-
tarily covered with pollen again and
made ready to proceed to the next
blossom and repeat the process.

the sheath, where it begins to feed and
grow. Gradually losing it's reddish
color, it becomes white.
When it reaches maturity it is from
h to n Of an inch in length. 1t then
transforms to the faxseed stage with
sitter, dark skin.
The faxseed stage Is oval, elongated
in shape, and about 3-16ths Of an inch
in length. In this stage the fly re-
mains dormant all winter.
The first sign of damage to the
wheat in the fall is noticed in the
deep green color of the infested plants.
Investigations would show that the
central shoot is undeveloped, but the
outward leaves grown long, broad and
darker in color. Later the plants be-
come a sickly yellow in color, espe-
cially when badly infested.
During the latter part of March or
April, the flies emerge and deposit
their eggs in spring much the same
way as in the fall on the tender blades
of young wheat plants. The larvae in
the spring hatch in the same way and
work their way down into the plants
the same as in fall, except that in the
larger plants the maggots may work
into the sheath at the joints above
the surface of the ground. Here the
maggots grow to maturity and trans
form into f1axseeds to complete their
life cycle.
The infested plants fail to fill. The
weakened stalks break and crinkle
down.
Remedies.
Grazing in the fall cannot reach the
'faxseeds" because they are mostly
underground
Moving in the spring is Intellectual
for the same reason.
Rolling or brushing is supposed to
bend the wheat bladder down at the
points so the newly-hatched maggots

Most Of these are in the stalks

About Starting Alfalfa.

The college of agriculture has litera-
ture on the starting of alfalfa, which
1t will pay any farmer in the state to
get. There is yet time to start a
patch this year-and however small
1t is better to start now than to wait
another year. Anyone driving through

fields.
