nothing can be done by the farmer to lessen
the devastations of the Hessan fly to this years
CROP but it is nearly time to commence the fight
against the fly to reduce the toll which it will
assuredly take in 1916. if the fly is allowed to
Law its eggs by millions early sown wheat or
volunteer wheat this fall. Millions OF acres will
again be sown to wheat this fall in the area in
which the Hessian fly Is now working so much
damage.
In order to understand the situation fully. It is
necessary to know what the fly is like how 1t is
capable of causing such enormous losses. and
how 1t transforms from the egg to the fully de-
veloped insect Comparatively few farmers are
able to recognize this pest, except in what is
known as the "1axseed' stage, which, even then,
is often mistaken for the egg.
There are two generations of the Hessian ny
each year, one in the fall and one in the follow
ing spring, the latter being the children of the
former Therefore, If there flies to lay
eggs in the fall 1t stands to reason that there
could be none to lay eggs in spring.
In the course of its development the insect
passes through four different stages. The adult
Is small, long-legged darkcolored fly. very
much resembling small mosquito The egg is
very small long, slender, and of a shining, red
dish color, and is placed by the female fly in
the grooves on the upper surface of the wheat
leaves, both in spring and fall The maggot
matches from the egg makes its way down the
leaf and wedges itself between the leaf sheath
and the stalk of the plant where in some cases
dozen or more may be found partly overlap
ping one another. When 1t becomes full grown
its skin hardens. changing to brown, and from Its
form and color 1t is then commonly known as
the "naxseed," which is the pupa or resting stage
of the insect
Beginning about April l, flies emerge from the
"faxseed" that have passed the winter in the
fall wheat whether early sown volunteer.
These flies deposit their eggs on the leaves Of
the uninfested plants, the eggs hatch into mag
gots in from four to eight days and the mag
COTS become grown in about twenty to thirty
days and then change to "faxseed." This con-
stitutes the spring generation. After harvest the
"naxseeds" of this generation can be found in
the stubble just above the ground, or often
higher up where the straw has broken over.
While, stated. the Hessian fly energies from
the "faxseed' stage throughout an extended
period of time within the entire area of its distri
button in any given locality this emergence of
the adults in destructive abundance occupies but
few days. The life of the female after she
makes her way forth from the "faxseed" prob
ably does not extend beyond period OF five or
six days Thus it is that delay in wheat SOW
ing in the fall until after the flies have appeared
and largely disappeared becomes Of such vital
Importance.
The first flies Of the second or fall generation
begin to issue from the "naxseeds" about the
middle OF August and continue to issue till about

Bright prospects please me as none other

And sweeter for its hint of falling tears,

Why do girls look at their hand
some bridegrooms-to-b and notice
with sigh that they are not as good
looking as the day draws near, when
they are to marry as they were a
short time ago? All that they do, their
promises and gallant attentions are
every bit as lovely toward them as in
that never-to-be-forgotten hour Of be-
trothal.
They have been known to be light
hearted, jolly, with reputation for
having been the same in disposition,
and in every other respect desirable,
year in and year out. All of the many
calls upon them have been cordially
answered. Good wishes have been ap-
preciated and accepted. They seemed
to have lived in a different world all
their own.
What seems to be engrossing her
lovers attention every spare moment

queries, with some little foreboding.
She wanders out among the spring

face which wore little frown.

Hessian fly attacks and even more rarely does
the pest originate in their own fields
1t must always be borne in mind that 1t Is
possible for a careless FARMER, or one who in
ssts upon sowing his wheat before the flies
have appeared and disappeared, to raise in the
fall a brood large enough-wintering In the
"faxseed' stage and emerging in the spring
to spread out over the fields of his neighbors
and destroy their crop, even though these neigh
bors may not themselves have produced enough
of the flies to cause them any damage whatever
There some points with regard to the fore
going information that all farmers within the fly
infested district must take into account. These
farmers should above all others. be most ia
miar with the conditions of their own locali-
ties as to weather, soil and latitude. They should
also of all others be the most familiar with their
own fields No one lay down an exact date
upon which each and every farmer may SOW his
wheat and be assured of absolute immunity from
Hessian fly attack

and this should be done
with the point in view that
unnaturally shriveled or
otherwise imperfect ker-
nels cannot produce healthy
wheat plants. When the
kernel sprouts it at once
sends f1brous roots down
into the soil from which to
draw nourishment for the
young plant. and if little or
no nourishment is secured
the wheat plants are put
into somewhat the condi-
ton of stunted calves, pigs,
or other farm animals
which are underfed.
Wheat plants cannot Sc
cure prompt and ample
nourishment If the roots
must make their way about
among clods due to poor
preparation Of the soil, or
in soil that lacks in fertil-
ity. The farmer, then,
should begin the prepare
ton of his soil with the
object Of delaying the SOW
ing of the wheat and after
wards of pushing the
growth of the plant to the
utmost until the beginning
of the cold weather. There

ORGANIZE TO FIGHT THE FLY

The county demonstration agents IN
northern Oklahoma, together with a num-
Der of entomologists and other agricultural
experts recently held a meeting at Clare
more Okla, and formulated campaign TO
starve out the Hessian fly in their locality.
This is an excellent method of starting the
work or organizing the farmers to eliminate
the fly, according to the departments spe-
cialists, and by all means should be fol-
lowed throughout the fy-infested territory
These Oklahoma agents and farmers have
already adopted specific campaign, which,
in short, is the same as recommended by

electric light pole was broken and
much English language was spilled.
Both claimed the accident was the
fault of the other. James NJ. Farrell
was teaching a young man how to run
an automobile on the Plainville roa
last evening. Two other ma chimes
appeared suddenly on the horizon.
The student felt a chill in his pedal

was missing from a nearby fence.

A Delayed Celebration
A few days before the new year
Francisco Leal and Pedro Peres, who
were at that time working in Morenci,
had the forethought to lay in sup
ply of the beverage that cheers and
causes a head full of cobwebs the
morning after, in anticipation of the
long continued drouth which was in
evitable. About the first of Janu-
airy they were transferred to work at
the Copper King mine a few miles
from Morenci and had no opportunity
of returning and visiting their cache
until the first of this week. AS soon
as they struck the camp they i'm
mediately hied themselves to their
Quarters where the liquor was stored
and thereupon proceeded to become
lighted up to the gills. After quench-
ding their thirst with about two quarts
| of redeye they went to their old board
ing house for supper and were in a
joyful frame of mind but before finish
ing the meal the booze had gotten in
| its fighting work and fancying them
selves peeved over some trivial mat
ter they began to throw plates and
eating utensils all over the place
much to the discomfort of those at
the table A hurry-up call was sent
for the officers and the belligerents
Fwere escorted to the Jail and at their
hearing on Tuesday they were assess
ed a fine of $25 each which hey paid
They still maintain that the Illegal
celebration was worth all it cost.

MIsInformed-

Misinforrne ed, Is
We were misinformed last week in
regard to an article published to the
erect that certain young man of
Morenci had been passing counterfeit
notes in this vicinity. 1t has been
found that the money was bona hde
and was the best currency of the
realm of which Uncle Sam is capable
of manufacturing 1t is evident that
someone with a perverted sense of
his own importance as sleuth has
grfevousIy erred In his deductions
with the result that the public has
been laboring under a misapprehen-
sion. It is understood however, that
parties, not in an official position,
will in the near future prefer CHARGES
of a minor character against the
young man in question to which he
will have to answer. There is no
foundation. whatever for the counter
feiting charge.
