bull calves this week Tor SosVVV.
The calves are not to be d~eliyered-un-
til next April, says the Fulton Sun.
The first sale made by Mr.. hurry to
the Texan included 60 heifers and q
bulls and realized him s15,0a5, and
added TO the purchase price Of the
bulls brings Mr.. Aycockis total pur-
cbases to s2I.045, probably the larg-
est requirement Of Galloway county
cattle by a single out-of-town buyer
in recent years. These sales take
almost all of Mr.. Murry's young cat
tie and proves that he has classy
stuff, so good in fact that an out-of-
town buyer came back after more
after getting an initial shipment as
represented in the rrst bunch. The
cattle sold this week at the $4,000
figures makes them average $3.50 a
head and as they are spring stock
il shows that purebred stuff brings
good prices.

. Of Hereford cattle living at Hereford,

During the last few weeks farmers
have had many false alarms on ae-
count Of small hopping insects which
have been mistaken for the Hessian
fy- Many samples Of these leaf-hop-
Ders are being received by the Mis-
souri, Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton They are small and when very
abundant in wheat may injure it some
what Il warm weather continues long
enough, but their injury is usually
not severe.
These leaf hoppers vary from an
eighth to a quarter of an inch in
length, jump much as grasshoppers
do, and may be green, grey, or var,
ious eolored and striking. In addi-
ton to these points which distin
gnish them from the tiny mosquito
like Hessian flies, the hoppers have
four wings while the fly has only two.
AS there are rarely any Hessian
flies feeding this late in the fall, all
wheat-sowing should be finished at
ence il not already done. There need
be absolutely no delay on account Of
the hoppers.
