There are no fy-proof varieties OF
wheat.
Spraying or dusting with poisons
cannot reach the maggot that does the
damage.
Refusing to grow wheat is like cur
ing the dog by cutting off his tail
close behind the ears.
Prevention.
Immediate concerted action is nee.
essary to destroy all the "fiaxseeds'
before wheat-sowing time in the fall.
Most of these are in the stalks
underground; but some are just
above the first joint; few are higher
up in the straw or heads.
Every farmer should cut his wheat
high. Then disk the stubble thorough
ly soon after cutting the wheat and
later plow the ground deep enough
to bury the stubble four inches. Then
work the surface fine to keep a dust
mulch until the pupae hatch and die
in the earth which will be late in
August or early in September.
One farmer can't accomplish much
working alone, although he would rid
his own land of the fly.

grow. Gradually losing it's reddish
color, 1t becomes white.
When it reaches maturity it is from
1s to u of an inch in length. 1t then
transforms to the faxseed stage with
a sitter, dark skin.
The fiaxseed stage is oval, elongated
in shape, and about 3-16ths of an inch
in length. In this stage the fly re-
mains dormant all winter
The first sign of damage to the
wheat in the fall is noticed in the
deep green color of the infested plants.
Investigations would show that the
central shoot is undeveloped, but the
outward leaves grown long, broad and
darker in color. Later the plants be-
come a sickly yellow in color, espe-
cially when badly infested
During the latter part of March or
April, the flies emerge and deposit
their eggs in spring much the same
way as in the fall on the tender blades
of young wheat plants. The larvae in
the spring hatch in the same way and
work their way down into the plants
the same as in fall, except that in the
larger plants the maggots may work
into the sheath at the joints above
the surface of the ground. Here the
maggots grow to maui ity and trans
form into faxseeds to complete their
life cycle.
The infested plants fail to fill. The
weakened stalks break and crinkle
down.
Remedies.
Grazing in the fall cannot reach the
'fiaxseeds" because they are mostly
underground.
Moving in the spring is Intellectual
for the same reason.
Rolling or brushing is supposed to
bend the wheat bladder down at the
points so the newly-hatched maggots

It would subject the Turkish capital to bombardment by the fleets, and 1t is almost certain that the demand on the part of the people of constan. tinople that the place be surrendered rather than to permit its destruction would be insistent A threatened bombardment of the city with the power to make the threat good could hardly fail to produce revolt in the city.

LONDON, July 27.-Unable to re- duce the immediate defenses of War saw. the Germans have abandoned the attempt to capture city Of Riga and Gen.

In this way the northern German line ie closing In on the main railway artery to the Russian capital.
 Similarly a southern army, far to the south of the line of attack on the LubIin-cheim railroad which has fail. ed, Is similarly approaching the main southern artery of the Russian railroad system operating between Warsaw, and through that place to Petrograd, from Odessa.
 The Times, describing this move ment declares that human history can show no parallel to the tremendous extent of the enveloping movement that Is being prosecuted against War saw. The distance between the op- erations on the north and those on the south exceeds 700 miIes. The Times says the movement Involves results to Russia and her western aI- lies comparable with a Russian re- sistance of general MonsoIan inva- sion.
 The purpose of the movement is to shut off the suppIles and reinforce ments that Russia is crowdino into Warsaw from three dIrections-from Petrosrad, Odessa and Moscow. These have been potent In preventing the earlier fall of Warsaw.
 Confirming this interpretation of Germany's plan of campaign comes the information from Berlin that the German war office has lntlmated to the press and people that the fall of Warsaw need not be expected for two or three weeks at least.
