HEsSlAN FLY INJURY CAN BE-
PREVENTED.
seasonabIe Planning OF Wheat il
Recommended.
NICHOLAS sCHMITZ,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The loss In this State of the 1915
wheat crop from the Hessian fly while
not generally as severe as In some
years in the past, was nevertheless
considerable, and should be taken as a
warning of what may follow in an
other year. Now is the proper time
to begin fighting this pest, and In
order to combat it effectively some
thing must be known Of its hfe-his-
tory.
There are at least generations
of the fly each year, one in the fall
and one the following spring. The
spring generation may be considered
as the children of the fall generation.
At the present time the fly may be
found in the wheat fields in what Is
known as the "f1axseed" stage, from
which the adult will begin to emerge
about the middle Of August and con-
tinue to do SO until sometime in
October or later. depending upon the
weather and latitude. The maximum
emergence usually occurs, the last
weeks In September or the first week
in October, depending upon the local
ity. The usual recommendations
given for combating the fly by disc
ing or blowing under the stubble
early in July or August are not prac-
tical in Maryland, because the ma
jority Of the stubble fields must be
left on account of the grass crop
they hold. The best methods that
the Maryland farmer can employ are:
First, seeding after the maximum
period OF adult emergence, and, sec
ond, crop rotations Trapping the fly
by sowing narrow strips of wheat and
later plowing them under deeply and
packing the land firmly by rolling will
help when this Is practical. ALI vol
untary wheat should also be de.
stroyed. or, what Is perhaps better
1t should not be allowed to grow.
II must be remembered, however
that II one man makes every effort
possible to destroy the fly the effec-
tiyeness of his work may largely be
destroyed II his neighbor does not dc
the same thing. since the fly may &c
from one field to another to lay the
egg which matches into the magot
that does the damage Therefore the
adoption Of a date which will make
a uniformly safe period for the SOW
ing Of wheat in each locality by all
farmers Is Of greatest Importance
From observations and reports of the
State Entomologist, he has recon-
mended the following dates in the
surrounding country Of the following
cities and towns of the State:

Where the paths OF the woodland run
With the jeweled branches a-sparkling

And who are the fairies, you bid me tell.
That have done this wonderful thing?
Why the woodland fairies we know no

In summer and fall and spring.
And how can the summer fays
Endure in a wintry storm?
Oh, the fairies are wise In all their ways
And, Of course. know how to keep
warm
For weeks ago. when the cold winds drove
The flowers to their winter maps,
From the milkweed silk the fairies wove
The warmest OF winter wraps.
On moonlit autumn night,
In circle under a tree
They made them garments more soft and

Than ever we mortals see.
And 30 last nigbt-in the cold and the

As dry and warm as you please,
To make the woodland pretty again

Or flowers and leaves. they're always at

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, d. c., June 2l-A
study Of the war revenue tax dis
closes some Of the most astonishing
bIunders to be found in the entire
legislative record of the present adj
ministration. The most elementary
principles of law making seem to have
been disregarded.
In the passage of any special tax
measure where the approximate de-
felt to be met is known, there are four
simple requirements that are obvious.
1. 1t should be determined where
the burden Of the tax should fall.
2. Based on accurate estimates, the
law should produce the amount of
revenue needed.
3. The law should be phrased in
clear unmistakable terms, admitting
of but one construction that will insure
a minimum cost of administration,
prevent confusion, and avoid useless,
expensive litigation.
a. Timely, adequate provision
should be made for revenue stamps,
blank returns, instructions, and all
other numerous details entering into
the enforcement of such a law.
This administration failed on every
one of these counts.
1. Under the first essential, that of
where the burden of the
tax shall fall, the Democrats founder
ed repeatedly. They first announced
the plan of increasing the income tax,
and abandoned it on discovering that
financial returns would be delayed for
months under that method Then they
turned to a plan of taxing freight re-
.eipts. This was discarded with
CELEBRITY. Political pres
sure was too great. After other in
,ffectual attempts the Spanish war
stamp tax was adopted as basis, Civ
ng the country a war tax" in time of
)eace.
2. The second essential was disre-
,arded. Their estimates were inaccur
tie. Had they been based on facts in
tead of guess work, we would not
low have the treasury deficit as con-
tant reminder of Democratic extrava-
-ance and inefficiency.
3. The third essential was disre
.arded. There are conflicting provi-
ions in the "war tax" as to when it
hall take effect. Other clauses are so
bscurely phrased that it has been
ecessary to appeal to the courts for

act that business all over the country
halted because of inability to comply

such violations, resulting in needless

present administration is to blame.
