DESTROY THE
HESS|AN FLY

Many inquiries are being received
at the North Dakota Experim- N!
Station concerning wheat, that has
been bent over above the second joint.
Professor c. b. Waldron states that
this is caused by the Hessian fly. He
describes it as Il small insect resenl-
bling a mosquito only much smaller.
In late April or May it lays its eggs on
the wheat plant. This egg develops
into a flax seed like body which lives
over until next April or May and then
develops in the Hcssian fly which
lives three OF four days, but lays 200
to $50 eggs in that time. The wheat
plants on which the eggs are laid
bend over at tn csecond joint at har-
vest time.
The way to find them now is &c
strip the leaf from a bent over stub
BILE AMI just above the second joint
will be found the flax seed like body.
The way to destroy the Hessian fly
is to fall pillow, plow early in the
spring or burn the stubble. Late
spring blowing, ummer fallow or
stubbling in allows the Hessian fly
to live.

MANYy1oMAToES ]
49,: s;;E:;::.4. :, = ARE SHIPPED
mr. Ev I


in the year and continuing until late
in the fall, tomatoes are shipped COM
mercially from we half of the states
of the Union. There is probably no
other perishable vegetable commonly
grown out of doors in the United
States which appears on the market
through a longer season than does
the tomato.
Florida, of course, with it's location
and climate, stands as the premier to-
mato state and starts the tomato
movement each year in January. The
northern states, such as New York and
Ohio, finish out the season in October,
and by the time the movement is over
approximately twelve thousand cars
are moved for table consumption, ac-
cording to a recent survey made by
the department of agriculture and
published in Bulletin No. $780, "Rail
Shipments and Distribution or fhesh
Tomatoes in 1914"
Florida ships about half the toma-
toes moved $1,000 cars,) with Missis-
sippi New Jersey, and Texas handling
approximately $500 cars apiece. The
other states grow tomatoes in smaller
quantities, but in certain districts such
as West Tennessee, the crop is of
great local Importance.
The bulletin presents figures show
ig that a total of twelve thousand
cars are moved; but this by no means
represents the entire tomato crop,
since an effort was made to exclude
those going to %canneries and catsur
factories. When demand for toma-
toes in the market is heavy, i; is more
profitable to ship the tomatoes which
were originally intended for the can
neries, but if the market is weak larg-
er quantities are offered for canning;
There are certain localities where ii
is more profitable to raise tomatoes
for canning than for table use. New
York, Delaware, and Ohio put the bulk
of their production into the can, SC
that the total used for this purpose
is more than that shipped for table
use.
Most of the table tomatoes are
picked when green and wrapped in
paper to ripen on the way to market
in ventilated cars. Texas for a num-
Der of years has preferred to send its
crop to market picked when ripe and
shipped in iced cars. Near many
cities large quantities of tomatoes are
shipped when fully ripe by electric
lines, trucks, and other conveyances.
The different tomato-growing local
tiles endeavor to raise their crop SO as
not to be in competition with each 9TH
er, and very effort is made to rush the
crop to market before the loscal toma-
toes come in. The last of the south
ern crop is frequently wasted because
it cannot sell in competition with nor
them tomatoes. The bulletin pub
lished by the Department of Agricul-
ture contains charts showing the ship
ping peoirds Of the various states, a
map with the tomato-producing Sec
tions indicated, and a list of the rail-
road stations shipping tomatoes with
the amount shipped from each.

WIFE ASKS DIVORCE.
Judge Randall Takes Under Amusement
the Suit of Martha Pekarek
Against John Pekarek.

After waiting three years for the
return of her husband who is alleged to
have deserted her in August of 1912
Mrs. Martha Pekarek has told her story
to the Judge Of the Municipal Court
in an effort to secure an absolute di-
vorce and Judge Randall has taken the
case under advisement.
According to the evidence of Mrs.
Pekarek she was married to John Pc
karek in Riverside, ILL.,, on New Year Is
day of 1912. Their married life was
not of the happiest possible sort and in
August following the wedding the hus-
band disappeared Mrs. Pekarek has
resided in Kenosha for the past two
years and since her residence here she
has sought in every way possible to
get some trace of her missing husband
without results. Tt is thought possible
that the man may be in Chicago. Judge
Randall has asked the divorce counsel
to make further efforts to locate the
man and if these efforts fail the divorce
will be granted.
There were no children to the union
but Mrs. Pekarek is asking that he1
husband be required to pay alimony fol
her support.

LAKE SCHOOL FOR ROCKIES.
People Living in Lake Shore Cities
May be Given Chance to Become
Members of Naval Reserves.

Within a month the navy depart
ment announced today, plans will be
completed for training citizens for
naval duty. Establishment of two
citizens training camps is proposed.
One will be located on Narragansett
Bay and the other on the Great Lakes,
probably at Chicago. These plans are
conditional on sufficient public inter
est. The first group of citizen sailors
probably will be brought to camp early
next spring. The department. has not
decided whether the naval training sta
tion at Chicago can be used for train
ing citizenry naval reserve. Actual
trip practice for the citizen sailors is
also desired by the department. A
small gunboat may be sent to the Great
Lakes for the naval militia. The de-
partment also is considering rules for
the enlistment of motor boat owners as
reserve corps. Whether possession
of high speed boats shall be one of the
requirements is being discussed. The
naval advisory board favored exclu-
sion of motor boats having less than
forty-knot speed.

MAKES PATHETIC FLEA FOR SON,
Mrs. Edward Straubel Of Racine, Be-
leves Boy Missing Four Months
Is In Kenosha.

Mrs Edward Straubel of Racine has
sent pathetic appeal to the police
of Kehosha to search for her son, Ed
ward Straubel, who has been missing
from his home in that city for the past
four months. The Racine woman de-
clares that she believes the boy is work
ing in one of the Kenosha factories and
that possibly he is working under the
hume of Edward Hinsman. She de-
clares in her letter that the younger
brother Of the boy has broken leg
and that he has been continually calling
for his missing brother. Straubel who
is just past eighteen years of age left
Racine in July declaring that he was
going out to look for work but nothing
was ever heard from him by the mem
bers Of his family after that time. His
mother declares that she has been ad-
vised that he was seen by Racine
friends on the streets of Kenosha and
for this reason she believes that he NAV
be working in one of the Kenosha fac
tories. The local police officers have
asked the superintendents Of all fac.
tories in the city to aid the heart-broken
mother.

How many floaters are there IN Ke-
nosha This is the rather interesting
question that has been put up to the
Department of the Public Schools by the
Federal Government and the finding out
Of just what the floating population of
the city is makes something of study.
The Federal officials have estimated
that this number will be found larger
than the records of the city will show.
"A lot of people might not know how to
go about the work of finding the num-
Der of "floaters' in the city but the
clerks in the office of the school de-
partment are working out the problem.
Every child registered in the city
schools has record blank. They had
these blanks last year and the year be-
fore and study of the school records
gives a pretty good idea of the number
of people who come and go in Kenosha,
The list of these blanks is abnormally
large this year and it shows that many
people who were living in Kenosha dur
ing the school year of 1914 and 1915
have disappeared from the lists. This
does not mean that there has been any
reduction in the number of children. On
the other hand the records show that
the number of children in the schools
have been greatly increased. The in
crease shows that as many floaters have
come into Kenosha as have gone out
and then some.
Kenosha factory managers declare
that the government estimates that Ke-
nosha has five thousand fioaters is not
| too large. These men base their esti-
mate on the employees of the factory
who come and go. Some times these
floaters disappear and are missing for
more than a year and then they drift
back into their old places. Some times
these people become permanent citizens
! of Kenosha but there is great class OF
people who just naturally find it neces-
sary to move after a residence of few
months in any place. The records of
retail merchants also show that there
are a lot of floaters coming in and
going out of Kenosha. These records
show that when some people have ex
hausted their credit they just naturally
move on to greener pastures. The mer
chants make an effort to keep track OF
the floaters and they send ahead OF
them warnings to the merchants in
other cities but even with these precau-
tions hundreds of families slip out of
Kenosha every year never to be heard
of again. These people leave no for
warding address with the post office
/ and their mail is sent to the dead letter
office at Washington.
A big proportion of the floaters are
unmarried but there are many of them
who have wives and large families OF
children. This sort of floaters are be
ing found by the school officials.

A little nleak' from Madison today

along the Wolf River in Wisconsin may

Wisconsin IS most distinguished citizen.
Maybe you never heard of Rexford but
every man in Wisconsin who loves the

work. His claim to fame is the fact
that he wrote the old song "Silver
Threads Among the Gold.' Rexford
sold the song for three dollars and the
publishers of it have made several for
tunes from the sale of it. While thous-

MAY CUT WAGE OF PRISONERS
Former Governor Davidson as Head Of
State Board Urges County to Give
the Matter the Most Careful Con-
sideration at Meeting Of Board.

County board members may be given
chance to have something to say in
regard to the wages to be paid convicts
employed on building roads in the
state. This fact was brought out in a
letter from former Governor James
O. Davidson, which is now in the
hands of every member of the county
board of supervisors. The head of the
state board of control is urging the
members Of the county board not to
treat this matter lightly but to name
committee to take the matter up
with the state board before the start
ing of the road work in the spring of
1916. The possibility is suggested
that the amount to be paid per day
may be less than a dollar and a half.
In his letter to the supervisors Presi-
dent Davidson says in part:
"Since we wrote you before we
have made further investigation of
what has been done and is being done
in other states in the way of CON
structing highways by convict labor.
In the state Of Colorado convict labor
has been employed in the construction
of highways for period of about six
years and about two thousand miles of
road have been built by convict labor.
In the state of Utah, Oregon and
Washington the convicts Of the pri-
sons are employed in the construction
of highways and in all those states the
employment Of convict labor in con
structing highways has worked out
very satisfactorily.
In our communication to you of Oc-
tober End we stated that we would
furnish convict labor at one dollar and
one-half per day and that the state
would take care Of housing, feeding,
and guarding of convicts or that we
would take contracts to do the entire
work at price per yard. Since that
time we have been considering the
compensation to be paid to the state
for the labor of convicts and have de-
cided to not fix any price for the labor
at this time, but to leave the price
open until such time as some Of the
counties make application to us for
convicts to be employed in road con-
struction work. Conditions may ma
terially change before the new con-
struction period commences and, there
fore, we do no. think it would be wise
o fix the price at this time. However
the price per day of ten hours will not
exceed one dollar and one-half per
convict.
When your board meets there is no
doubt but that all its members will
have some familiarity with the sub
ject of employing convicts in building
roads and we hope that you will give
the matter the proper consideration
and will determine whether your
county will make arrangements for the
employment of convict labor in the
construction Of highways in your
county. It might be well to appoint
a committee of your county board to
confer with this board in reference to
this matter, or to authorize the high.
way commissioner of your county
to do so.
After the meetings of the county
boards we will communicate with the
county clerks of the different counties
and ascertain what has been done by
the county boards in reference to the
employment of convict labor on the
highways. -
