mulated campaign to starve out the
Hessian fly in their locality. This is
an excellent method of starting the
work of organizing the farmers to
eliminate the fly, according to the de-
partment's specialists, and by all
means should be followed throughout
the fly-infested territory. These Ok
lahoma agents and farmers have al
ready adopted specific campaign,
which, in short, is the same as rec
commended by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, as follows:
Starve Out the Hessian Fly.
The Hessian fly, being in the flax
seed" stage in wheat stubble and in
unharvested wheat from June till Sep
TENDER, or even October in the south,
can be destroyed by carrying out the
following methods of control:
/. Burn, where possible and safe,
all stubble and ruined wheat.
2. Disk all stubble and ruined
wheat Immediately after harvest,
where burning is impracticable.
3. Plow under deeply all stubble
and ruined wheat fields before August
Is, harrow the ground, and roll if
necessary.
a. Harrow, disk, pasture, or other
wise effectually destroy all volunteer
wheat.
5. AS measure preparatory 10
sowing, pillow as early and deeply as
existing conditions will permit; disk,
harrow, and roll until a thoroughly
pulverized, compact seed bed is OBJ
tanned.
o. Do not SOW wheat until after fy-
free date
7. Rotate your crops if possible.
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1915-07-17

where these conditions prevail the
only practical method that the farmer
can use is that of delaying his wheat
sowing until the flies have made their
way from the stubble to the fields and
died there without being able to find
any plants upon which to deposit their
eggs.
Best Cultural Methods Advocated.
1t should be borne in mind that the
most practical and effective methods
of controlling the Hessian fly are
identical with the best methods of
producing the maximum yields of
wheat. 1t is entirely possible for the
farmer to fight the Hessian fly by the
process of good farming, involving
thorough cultivation, good seed, and a
rotation of crops. The most serious
objection to the most practical and
effective method that can be en-
ployed to control this pest in the field
namely, late sowing-is that there
is danger of so delaying the growth
Of the plants that they do not become
sufficiently advanced to enable them
to withstand the winter. This phase
of the situation is dealt with more at
length in the new Department of Ag-
riculture circular No. 81, "The Hessian
Fly Situation in 1916" extracts from
which are reprinted here. This circu-
lar may be obtained free upon appli-
cation to the Department of Agricul
ture, as long as the supply lasts.

Appearance of Infested Plants ant
Control Methods.

No farmer need be in the least UNI
certain as to the extent to which his
wheat is infested in the fall. An IN
tested plant stands straight upward
in the drill row, with broader leaves
of darker green color, does not tiller,
and therefore does not spread out and
cover the ground between the rows.
The Hessian fly attacks wheat, rye,
and barley, but not oats.
Nowhere, either in the East or
West, should wheat be sown on wheat
stubble if this course can possibly be
avoided. However, in the East, as
we'll as in some portions of Iowa and
Missouri, the wheat stubble is univer-
sally seeded to timothy and clover, and
therefore any kind of cultivation of
these stubble fields is rendered i'm
practicable, though in many cases it
would be far better to sacrifice all ex-
cept the very best seeding. Neither
can the fields be burned over without
destroying the young seeding, and
