To Check the
HeSSian Fly.

The Kansas state AgrlCuIIuI'
al College has a train load OF
Specialists out lecturiug on the
Hessian Fly and how to get rid
of the pest, an account OF a
meeting says:
The methods of control which
are being advocated by the
speakers are in line with the
best farming practice. 1t is for-
tunate that the system of con-
troll for the Hessian fly also will
help to increase wheat yields.
Special emphasis is being placed
on good methods of seed bed
preparation.
The wheat land should be
disked or plOwed just as soon af-
ter harvest as possible, said l..
E. Call, professor of agronomy
in the Kansas State Agricultural
college, to the farmers of Sedg-
wick. An especially good plan
is to pillow the soil deeply immed-
lately after harvest, but when
one has a large acreage it is not
possible to do this promptly. In
such a case the land should be
disked. This disking will ex-
pose the Hessian fly, which is in
the flaxseed stage at that time,
to unusual conditions so that a
high percentage of the pests will

The Kansas University last

A we'll written story of the

Rlories of the present and the

Is very interesting but is a little
like the bombastic claims of Kan
sas City, Mo-, az a packing CEN

gold and silver. The mines OF
Miami are at Commerce, the
packing houses in Kansas City,
Kas and the gold fields at Vic
tor. Outside of that the tale is
all right.
AS a result of a request from
the United States department OF
agriculture, DR.. C. M. Williams
pastor of the Methodist church
at Washington, Kas., took a
bird census of the county recent
~, taking a seventy acre plot OF
ground near town as a basis.
The result of the count on the
seventy acres was niuety.seven
pairs of nesting birds.

be Ill d. This diSking also
will conserve moisture and aid in
plant food formation. Flowing
or listing can be continued on
this disked land long after 1t is
too hard to plow the soil which
has been left bare and hard.
After the land is plowed il
should be disked or otherwise
cultivated from time to time.
This working will help to pre-
vent the fly from emerging, and
it also will destroy the volunteer
wheat and the weeds. Another
important advantage is that the
escape of moisture from such
fields will be reduced.
Perhaps the most important
thing in the control of this in
sect is to keep the volunteer
wheat killed. It will do little
good, of course, to adopt all OF
the other methods of control il
the volunteer plants are left on
which the fly can lay its eggs
and thus infect the rest Of the
crop.
If the land is prepared early in
this way, with as many OF the
insects killed as possible by the
disking of the stubble, the con-
ditions are very favorable for the
crop to make a prompt start in
the fall, 1t will contain an
abundance of moisture and solu
BILE nitrates, or available plant
food, as a rule. When this is
the case, it is possible to plant
the wheat late, at about the fly
free date, and yet have it make
a promptly growth and get we'll
established By freezing weather.
This flyfree date varies from Oc-
tober l on the northern line OF
Kansas, to October IA on the
southern line. 1t is possible to
SOW wheat just a little before
this Ay-free date and yet have it
escape fly damage, for, of course
it takes it few days to come up.
The great value of the coop
Grafton of ali the farmers in the
community in fighting this in
sect is shown by the speakers,
carefully. The insect can go a
short distance from infected into
free fields, so it is important that
all the farmers in a community
should unite in fighting it.

It rather looks as though the
Standard Oil has just about
forced the Independents out Of
business. The latter are unable
to meet the last cut of the Stan
dard, when the price of gasoline
was cut to 8.S cents. The new
price makes gas cheaper than
many brands of distilled water.
There seems ito be a general
feeling among the friends of W.

bered many, that the gentleman
made a serious mistake in with
drawing from Mr.. Wilson's cab

among our people just now is to
uphold the president, and not to
follow Mr.. Bryan.
An Investigation into the al
legged election methods at Kan
sas City, Kansas, discloses the
fact that several candidates spent
much more at the primaries and
election than the salary for the
entire official term amounted too.
A writer in the Topeka Capt.

al situation from a Republican
standpoint says: Phil Camp
bell of Pitesburg hopes to be re-
nominated in the Third without
opposition. Campbell is sur

friends and they will DO their ut
most to keep other candidates
out.
Chetopa was given a free show
the other day when a team
hitched to an automobile ran
away. The machine broke down
on the road, and the team was
sent out to pull it in. The team
started to run as soon as hitched
on, and for three miles broke all
speed limits, when the runaways
were stopped. No damage done.
The Ozark trail boosters at In

unpleasant things about dirt

about it, are trying to make

$50, 900, 900 yearly for 1000, 900

Leo N. Frank,, last Chance.


Leo NJ Franks life rests now in the hands
OF a single man, and on the action of HIS mind
and conscience depends the fate of the prisoner
whose guilt 50 many people insist has not been
proved. The action OF the prison board of
Georgia in refusing to recommend Communication
has left but single hope, that the governor of
Georgia will interpose.
Thousands Of the best and most influential
citizens OF the United States have urged that
the sentence be committed, but two members Of
the board resting the technicalties of the
record turned a deaf ear to the plea. The third
member has made report in favor of Frank
giving weight to the question in regard to the
nature OF the testimony against him and the
doubt the trial Judge expressed as to the justice
of the verdict.
The fact that the prison board Is not unani-
nous ought TO give the governor support. IL he
inclines to mercy Reasonable ground exists
for believing Frank innocent. and the cause OF
justice cannot suffer nor the dignity OF the law
be lessened by Communication Of his death sen.

great deal to do with the matter. so far as the
case has proceeded, but IL has long since ceased

Recssting the Cabinet.

Il is no new thing for a president to find
himself confronted with the necessity Of re-
casting his cabinet. Since the very beginning
of the republic few administrations have gone
through four years without changes in one or
more Of the important posts In the official
family. and none in recent years has escaped
this condition. But the manner OF the Bryan
exit, the fact that the vacancy is that we are
Won't to regard as the premiership, the momen-
tous questions focusing upon that particular
PORTFOLIO the unstable situation within the pres
ident's own political party. the near approach OF
a national election in which he will seek popular
eDdorsement-aIl these elements combine to
make cabinet reconstruction at this time more
crucial to the presidents administration than
II could otherwise have been.
When II comes to suitable material, Presi-
dent Wilson is by no means oversupplied. The
precedent has been set for rearranging dis
mantled cabinet by transferring or promoting
members from one place to another. In this
way Root became secretary of state after serv-
ing as army chief and Knox had been attorney
general before taking the State department.
II President Wilson follows these examples, the
next secretary OF state will be either Mr.. Garri-
son or Mr.. Lane. as they alone have distin-
guished themselves above the others In the
present cabinet
incidentally II may be noted that Great
Britain has just installed a new coalition min
istry representing all the political parties. II
Mr.. Wilson were looking for a man Of experience
who commands the confidence Of the people. he
would, we believe. agree that no one conspicuous
Rs a democrat could match either Root or Knox,
but he will hardly be 80 daring as to invite
either OF them to place at his cabinet table.
The truth is that Mr. Wilson has all along been
his own minister Of foreign affairs, and doubt
less intends TO continue to be. That is what
makes his selection Of q successor to Mr.. Bryan
something that will not suffer by elaboration.
