years by protestant churches for Mis-

HESSIAN FLY INJURY CAN BE
PREVENTED.
Seasonable Planting OF Wheat Is
Recommended
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The loss in this State of the 1915
wheat crop from the Hessian fly, while
not generally as severe as in some
years in the. past. was nevertheless
considerable, and should be taken as q
warning of what may follow in an
other year. Now is the proper time
to begin fighting this pest, and in
order to combat il effectively some
thing must be known of its Hfe-his-
tory
There are at least 2 generations
of the fly each year, one in the fall
and one the following spring The
spring generation may be considered
as the children of the fall generation.
At the present time the fly may be
found in the wheat fields in what is
known as the "flaxseed" stage, from
which the adult will begin to emerge
about the middle of August and con-
tinue TO do so until sometime in
October or later, depending upon the
weather and latitude. The maximum
emergence usually occurs the last 2
weeks in September or the first week
in October, depending upon the local
ity. The usual recommendations
given for combating the fly by disc
ing or blowing under the stubble
early in July or August are not prac-
teal in Maryland, because the ma
jority of the stubble fields must be
left on account of the grass crop
they hold. The best methods that
the Maryland farmer can employ are:
First seeding after the maximum
period Of adult emergence. and. sec
ond, crop rotations. Trapping the fly
by sowing narrow strips of wheat and
later blowing them under deeply and
packing the land firmly by rolling will
help when this is practical All vol
untary wheat should also be de-
stroyed, or, what is perhaps better,
it should not be allowed to grow.
1t must be remembered. however.
that if one man makes every effort
possible to destroy The fy the effec-
tiveness Of his work may largely be
destroyed if his neichbor does not do
the same thins. since the fly may GO
from one field to another to lay the
egg which matches into the magot
that does the damage. Therefore the
adoption of a date which will make
a uniformly safe period for the SOW
ing of wheat in each locality by all
farmers is of greatest Importance
From observations and reports Of the
State Entomologist, he has recon-
mended the following dates in the
surrounding country of the following
cities and towns of the State:

GROWING NUNS NOT LUCK
BY HELEN WATTS M,VEY.

There is no luck in growing chrysan-
themums; just care and common
sense, and a right smart amount Of
work and looking after. The plant
will grow without care, and bloom;
but it does so wonderfully much bet
ter with care that it pays to give it.
The greater part of the work is now
done-the growing, the pinching-into-
shape, the disbudding, and we are now
ready to anticipate. Do not let the
plant set too many buds, keep clean
from insects, give plenty of water and
fertilizers, and stake up from the ray
ages of the autumn winds.
If the plants are still in the border,
lift the pot, after a days soaking of
the soil. Take the plant up after
sunset or as late as it can be done,
give a thorough watering and shower
ing the tops, apd set away in the dark
ness of the cool cellar for few days
until it RECEIVERS from the shock. Do
not water while in the darkness, and
bring gradually to the light.
It is a good way, after the plant
has about Strengthened up, to set it
out il, the dew of the night, returning
1t each morning to the cellar.
Do not neglect to provide for the
late fall flowers. Cosmos are fine.
Int too often the frost catches them.

OVERLOOKING ROSES

Everblooming roses should be at
their best during the fall months.
Tea roses must be fed literally; old
rotted manure, cow-manure is best
but bone meal is good.
Dig several big spoonfuls of fer
tilizer about the roots of each rose
planted, replacing the mulch
Cut back the blooming branches as
soon as the flowers fade; work the
soil under them and give a good soak
ing with manure water early in Sep
TENDER and you will have abundant
bloom until frost
Sharp pruning and good feeding is
the sure means of getting fall roses.
Keep down all insect pests with spray
of sulpho-to bacco soap used according
to directions on the package.
A tendency to blight of buds at this
season means insects at the roots.
Dissolve peck of fresh lime in a bar
rel of water and give the ground
good soaking with the solution, using
only clear water on top.
When pruning the roses, use all cut
tings four or five inches long for root
ing. Insert the cutting in well-worked
soil, leaving one eye above the sur
face, firm the earth about them, give
a good soaking, and turn over them
glass fruit jar, pressing it into the
ground. Draw the soil up around the
jar but not over it, keep the ground
moist, and leave until spring.
Rose cuttings may be rooted in
moist sand in any warm place, but the
sand must not be allowed to dry out

CHAPTER XVIII.
Samuei's Welcome.

The shore at Twin Coves was a
somewhat lonely spot, owing to
stretches of marshland and sweep of
pine wood that reached almost to the
edge of the water
Samuel, however, having indicated
that he wished to be landed at the foot
Of a path through the pines, found
himself on the home shore scarcely
ten minutes after he had left Bleak
Hill-Havens already speeding toward
his home some miles to the eastward,
the bay seemingly deserted except for
his sail, high wind blowing, and the
snow beginning to fall in scattered
flakes.
Samuel picked up his grip, trudged
through the heavy sand of the mar
row beach, and entered the sweet
smelling pine wood. He was stiff with
cold after the rough, swift voyage; his
feet alone were hot-burning hot with
chilblains. Away down in his heart he
was uneasy lest some harm should
come to Abe and the old man be

He recollected that Angy would be

she would not so absorb Blossy's at

cation of "St. Jerushy lie" to his lame
and sore back.
The torture of the feet and back

believed possible with the prospect of
relief so near. As he limped along he

at any time. When the rootlets are
half an inch long, transplant to soil,
and give good care. They may be set
in the border and glass covering set
over them.
Most cuttings consist of three or
four points, or eyes, with a healthy
leaf at the top. Discard every cut
ting that does not hold the leaf until
the plant begins to grow, as the fall
ing of this leaf means a delicate
plant, even if it lives and roots.

MADE UP OF SMALL THINGS
Even the Most insignificant Words
and Acts May Be Productive of
Joy or the Reverse.

A wild birds song is little thing
lost in the deeps of frowning sky.
And yet as it falls on a listening
ear and leaves it's message of melody,
earth's green seems brighter and life
is sweeter, all through an autumn day
The coo of babe is little thing
meaningless sound from vacant
mind.
But it's the only sound that all ma
lions heed; the one clear language all
races know
A mothers love is little thing-too
soon, alas. forgot.
But it typifies to blind humankind
the love and trust and hope divine
that bear with patience calm and
sweet the wilful wrongs in these lives
of ours.
A passing smile is a little thing
lost in a world of toll and care.
And yet the soul with gloom OPP
pressed and the life grown wearied
with burdens hard will happier be in
the after-glow of smile that is
warmly kind.
A kindly word Is a little thing-a
breath that goes and sound that
dies.
But the heart that gives and the
heart that hears may know that it
sings and sings and sings till at last
it blends with the wild birds song,
and the COO Of babes in what men call
the celestial choir.-Utica Saturday

Recovered NapoIeon's Loot. y

Perugia, who stole the Mona Lisa, is
not the first who for patriotic reasons
has despoiled the Louvre-the great
picture gallery of Paris, which &C
CURED the majority of its treasures
by patriotic" plundering. In 1915,
after the fall of Napoleon, the allied
powers of Europe gave orders that the
art treasures carried off by the con-
queror should be restored to their
original owners. Fifteen states sent
commissioners to Paris to claim their
property, and more than 1000 pictures
were taken from the Louvre, together
with almost innumerable statues, or
naments, knickknacks, and so forth
The gallery was left with only 270 pic
lures and had to be closed for a while
until the vacant spaces could be filled
by gift or purchase.
