method for the control Of the Hessian
fly is late sowing. This is simply one
of the important steps in the control
of the fly but it should not be over en-
phasized. The most important thing,
and the one that the Experiment Sta
ton has always emphasized is the de-
struction of all volunteer wheat. The
entomologists Of the Kansas Experiment
Station has always emphasized four
kthings: ~ the thorough preparation
Of the seed bed, (2) destruction of all
volunteer wheat, (3) late sowing, and
az cooperation.
Late sowing alone will protect most
of the wheat in the fall from becoming
infested by the fall brood Of the fly,
but it should be remembered that there
is also main spring brood of the fly,
and If any volunteer wheat is growing
in the main field of wheat and in the
old stubble fields left to plant to some
other crop the next spring, the spring
brood of flies emerging from this vol
unteer wheat about the first Of April
is very apt to infest the main crop;
and thus wheat absolutely free from
fly may become dangerously infested
next spring by this spring brood. We
know of hundreds of cases where this
was true last spring, and 1t will prob
ably always be true of any year when
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1915-12-16

emerged, and thus these nelds Will NEIL
ace the main crop Of wheat.
The Hessian fly is now in the fax
seed stage. The little, brown, faxseed-
like objects may easily be found just
above the crown Of the plant between
the leaf sheath and the stalk. The win
ter is passed in this stage and the main
spring brood emerges from these fax
seeds from the last few days in March
to the last of April. The flies live only
a few days, but during that time deposit
from one hundred to three hundred OF
their eggs in the grooves along the up
per surface of the wheat leaves. The
eggs hatch in from four to eight days
and the young maggots work their way
down the leaf to place between the leaf
sheath and the stalk where the leaf has
its origin. Here the maggots feed, grow,
reach maturity, and transform to flax
seeds. BY the last of May, If the weather
conditions are favorable, the second or
supplementary spring brood is out and
the life cycle is repeated. After harvest
the flaxseeds of this brood may be found
Just above the crown or just above one
of the joints, and here they remain in
the stubble until towards the last Of
August at which time the flies Of the
fall brood begin to emerge to infest the
volunteer and early sown wheat.

can be done 70 destroy IL WITHOUT
also destroying the main crop.
However. the vertible hotbed Of the
fly this year is the volunteer wheat
growing in the stubble fields.
There is considerable less acreage
of wheat this year over the greater
part OF the wheat belt and this
means many stubble fields are left
standing full of volunteer wheat.
There will be no serious danger
from this volunteer wheat this fall;
thus the farmer may get his fall
and winter pasture, but, by all
means, he should pillow this wheat
under before the first Of next April.
To wait until March to do this plow-
ing may mean that much Of 1t will
not be plowed under, because the
weather conditions may make 1t
impossible to pillow. The various
field men of the Experiment Sta
ton and the Extension Division
find in going over the State that
a great many farmers are planning
to leave the fields Of volunteer
wheat and list them to corn next
spring. In this case, the ground
in a large number of fields will
not be touched until the flies have

there is a general infestation over the
whole country We know that flies will
migrate In dangerous numbers for a
distance OF a mile and in a few cases
even two miles. This is the reason for
emphasizing the Importance Of coop
Grafton, because one man with q field
Of volunteer wheat or with a field Of
early sown wheat may endanger num-
Der of wheat fields which were free from
infestation in the fall.
There is considerable volunteer wheat
growing in the main crop Of wheat This
volunteer is badly infested but nothing

in the old stubble fields is badly In

volunteer wheat is not plowed under
before the first OF next April. It win
prove a source of great danger to the
many fields of wheat which are now
practically free from the fly.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon |;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it
in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly. and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft. and look
and feel hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all You will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail
