NOW IS THE time
To STARVE HESS|AN FLY

BILE heldS is rendered impractical,
though in many cases it would be far
better to sacrifice all except the very
be burned over without destroying the
young seeding, and where these condi.
tions prevail the only practical method
that the farmer can use is that of de-
laying 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 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 cultiva-
tion, good seed, and rotation of crops.
The most serious objection to the most
practical and effective method that
can be employed 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 Depart
ment of Agriculture Circular No. 81,
| The Hessian Fly Situation in 1915, ex-
tracts from which are reprinted here.
This circular may be obtained free up
on application to the Department of
Agriculture, as long as the supply
lasts.
Organize to Fight the Fly
The county demonstration agents in
northern Oklahoma, together with a
number of entomologists and other ag-
ricultural experts recently held meet
ing at Clarence, Okla, and formulated
a campaign to starve out the Hessian
fly in their locality. This is an excel
lent method of starting the work of Or
ganizing the farmers to eliminate the
| fly, according to the Departments spe.
cialists, and by all means should be
followed throughout the fy-infested
territory. These Oklahoma agents and
farmers have already adopted spe.
cific campaign, which, in short, Is the
same as recommended by the United
States Department 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
tember, or even October in the South
can be destroyed by carrying out the
following methods of control:
l. Burn, where possible and safe
all stubble and ruined wheat.
2. Disk all stubble and ruined wheat

Wild REPORTS SAY j "
GERMANY IS ABOUT
TO ENTER HOLLAND
(United PreSSl

London, April S.-Wild reports
were received here this afternoon
that Germany and Holland are quiet
ly massing troops upon the Dutch
Belgian border. It is reported that
Germany is preparing to enter Hol-
land.
These rumors, however, are strict
ly English, but British newspapers
played the reports up strong. Neutral
observers insist that although public
opinion is becoming more concerned
on account of a German submarine
sinking a Dutch ship, it is not be-
lieved that an open break is iminent.
It is also cited that Holland is equal
ly incensed because of the British
blockade. j. So.
Contradictory rumors of the Ital-
ian-Ahstrian situation report that
Austria has finally decided to cede
Triente to Italy in exchange for her
neutrality. This was followed by a
report that an Italian fleet was con-
centrating toward the Adriatic sea.

BOOZE in pop BOTTLE

For the seventh time since the .sa-
looms of Bemidji were closed by or
der of the government Indian depart
ment, whisky has been found in the
"Spider" Gagnon place on Minnesota
avenue. Officers L. w. Carson and
J. P. Brandt returned to Bemidji this
morning from Omaha, where they
have spent several days prosecuting
a case in which the defendant is
charged with having shipped liquor
to Turtle River, this county, under
false label, and Immediately searched
the Gagnon establishment, finding a
quantity of whisky in pop bottles.
Search was also made at the Nicollet
hotel and although glasses indicating
that they had recently contained
"booze" were found no whisky was
located.

II am most ~favorably impressed
with the location which has been
chosen for the pike hatchery and /
feel confident that the institution will
be a great success. - This was the
statement made by E. w. Cobb, super
intendent of hatcheries of the state
game and fish commission on his re-
turn from the Warfield dam last
night, having spent the day there
directing the installing of battery
jars and other equipment which is
to be used during the spawning
season. =
Leaves Man in Charge.
Cobb appeared much pleased with
the building which has been provided
by citizens of Bemidji for the hatch
cry and said that it was suitable in
every way to meet the purpose of it's
construction. An experienced hatch
cry man was left in charge and it is
expected that the pike will begin to
run within the next two weeks. It
is planned to secure all pike neces-
sary for stripping from water below
the dam, following which the fish
will be returned to the waters above
the. dam. Several helpers will be
needed to assist in netting..
Thirty Days for Hatching.
The spawn will hatch in about
thirty days. Ehe capacity aof the
hatchery is one of it's surprising feat
ures. While the institution@has al
ways been considered as small, it is
interesting to know that it's 1903 jars
will care for 50,0OO,OO0 eggs. There
are from 10000 to 10000 eggs in
a quart. The capacity of a jar is
three quarts or approximately 445,-

New Committee of Commercial Club

If the membership of the Bemidji
Commercial club is not doubled dur
ing the next year it will not be the
fault of the newly appointed men,
bership committee which has already
taken the initial steps in a red-hot
campaign.
The committee, the first of those
appointed Tuesday to become active,
met Wednesday afternoon and out
lined plans whereby it is hoped that
the membership of the booster or
ganizatiOn will be increased to at
least 800 during the ensuing year.
For some time it has been the opin-
ion of many that the $40 initiation
fee charged applicants for member
ship should be done away with, but
it was the conclusion of the commit
tee that it should be continued. It
was decided that the fee was only
in small degree responsible for
what must be considered small
membership for Commercial club
in q city the size of Bemidji. - -.-..
; James L. George is chairman Of
the committee and he announces that
each member Of the club will be asked
to turn in the names of three resi-
dents of the city who might become
interested. The committee would
then endeavor to induce the men thus
recommended to make application for
membership.
The members of the membership
committee are James L. George,
