HESSiAN FLY INJURY CAN BE
PREVENTED.
SeaeonabIe Planting OF Wheat Ia
Recommended
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The loss In this State Of the 1918
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 2 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 "faXseed" 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 2
weeks in September or the first week
in October, depending upon the local
tty The usual recommendations
given for combating the fly by disc
ing or blowing under the stubble
early in July or August are not prac-
teal in Maryland, because the ma
tOrity 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
Teriod Of adult emergence, and, sec
ond, crop rotations. Trapping the fly
by sowing narrow strips of wheat and
later blowing them under deeply and
packing the land firmly by rolling will
help when this is practical All vol
untary wheat should also be de-
stroyed, or, what Is perhaps better,
it should not be allowed to grow.
II must be remembered, however.
that if one man makes every effort
possible TO destroy the fly the effec-
tiveness Of his work may largely be
destroyed if his neighbor does not do
the same thing, since the fly may 20

that does the damage Therefore the
adoption of a date which will make
q 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:

Be Careful of Matches.
RELLIAI.

The hunting season is open. Hun
dreds of sportsmen are and FOR some
time will be trudging the hills and
making their way oyer all farming dis
tricts of Garrett county where there are
trees. Dried leaves are in abundance
in these places; a match, pipe ashes or
a lighted cigar or cigarette means a
fire-perhaps a sweeping fire that will
destroy acres of timber and mayhap
barns and dwellings,. Every precaution,
therefore, should be taken by those who
hunt, and great care not to intiict hard
ships on others should be exercised by
wanderlusters and nut gathers who too
often build fire lust for fun" As
for incendiarism there are few worse
crimes. ANY person who sets fire to
anothers property-whether it be
houses, farm buildings or timber-de-
serves the highest penalty the law, for
such crime, can indict. Nor should
one hesitate for a moment to give to
the authorities any bit of evidence one
may possess that will lead to the APP
prehension and conviction of persons
who indulge in that kind of spite
work. D."

Day of Thanksgiving.
the Editor 81 The Renublican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Some one has trltelY said that sympa-
thy is the most general of virtues and
that gratitude is the rarest.
May the rarest exception open its
golden treasures and shed its brightest
beam over the day we are soon to cele-
brate in the alterations of a favored
race and country.
For the origin of this day of human
betterment, the antiquarian must look
to time antedating that of the
Christian Era, tracing back through the
Hebrew generations until the obser-
vance fades from view in the twilight
of history. With US it was not awarded
national proportions until the year 1856,
when President Andrew Jackson issued
a proclamation appointing a day of
common Thanksgiving that year in
November, month when the harvest
of the husbandmen is presumed to have
been gathered and his crops made safe
in storage.
Since that initial, by tacit consent
and accepted custom, the last Thursday
in each November for this institution
has become, as it were. a law of the
land, and departure from so time
honored practice now would be con-
strued breach of habit If not lapse in
the direction of the darker ages. But
neither such breach nor lapse is our
unhappy fate.
In his official capacity as president of
the United States Mr.. Wilson by
proclamation, earnest in purpose and
eloquent in tone, has called upon all the
| people to assemble November 18th, 1915
their customary places of worship in
| services of thanks for the fruits of the
earth with all added blessings from a
bountiful Providence.
Since the day of our establishment by
the fathers of the Republic among the
family of nations, no depth of gratitude
nor breadth of expression could ade-
quatey express a conception of the
mercies to us in the exemption from a
war with more than twenty-seven mil
lion of soldiers in its camps and trench
es. A passing glimpse of its enomities
and its horrors is found in a recent
statement by an English Lord, from
his seat on the floor of the highest house
of the British Parliament during a dis
cussion of England's attitude among
the warning countries. He said s"Un-
less the collective sense of mankind
prevents before the worst comes, the
great Continent of Europe will be little
better than wilderness peopled by old
men, women and children. From this
sober utterance, charged with fearful
meaning, by statesman of the British
/ Empire, humanity turns with shudder
/ While so pitiless conflict is devastating
so large part of the earth's surface,
larger part than ever known before
in the history of wars we should not
only be grateful for our exemption but
grateful that in so momentous a crisis
eyes from abroad are. .turnedl to US as
