Control Hessian Fly

Sow winter wheat after the Hessian
fly has disappeared and save next
years crop from the ravages of the
pest says the Department of Agricul-
lures experts. This advice may still
be applied during the present month in
the great wheat belt lying between the
thirty-tifth and forty-frst parallels of
latitude. If the fly has been starved
out by burning or disking all stubble
and ruined wheat fields, and all volun-
teer wheat has been plowed under or
otherwise destroyed, an infestation
the following year may be prevented
by so1,ng the approximate tiy-free
date.
The Hessian fly of the second or fall
generation is likely to infest all volun-
teer wheat and all wheat sown before
the fy-free date. "FlaXseeds" of the
second generation remain on the fall
sown wheat plants till the following
April, when adults issue and produce
young. which begin another season of
infestation. The adult flies of the sec
ond generation emerge from the "fax-
seed stage from the middle of Aug
ust to late October, according to the
latitude. The female fly does not live
beyond or days. and thus it is that
late sowing, after the flies have large
ly disappeared, is the most practical
AMI eff, tive method employed to cor
troll this pest.
According to experimental sowings
carried on for series of years, the
approximate dates to sow winter
wheat to avoid the Hessian fly during
years of normal rainfall have been
determined.
There are some points with regard
to these dates which all farmers with
in fy-infested districts must take into
account. They should be familiar
with the conditions ow their own To-
calitieS. as to weather. soil, and lati-
tude. They should also be familiar
with their own fields. Dry weather
retard the development of the fly and
also that Of the most important of its
antural enemies, precisely as it retards
the coming up Of the wheat if it be
sown in very dry sol. and without suf-
ilclent rainfall. There is also an APP
proXimate difference of about one day
to each 100 feet of elevation.

Why War Proves the World Needs Mother

up the question whether the United

violation OF our neutrality Section

THEY SEM TO BE STUCK.

Herr Won Bernstorff maintains that
the hydro-aeroplane is a war vessel

Mr.. Bryan maintains tnat wings by

more make the thing a water vessel

trails TO permit delivery of war yes
sells to belligerents. but admits that
at the time Of making said article s.,
18th convention, second Hague con-
ference. hydro-aeroplanes were not
specified, largely for the reason that
there were none then.
You zee bow badly the diplomats
need your assistance don't you? What
sort of a critter is one that has a
bottom TO sail on, wings by which
TO fly and wheels by which TO run on
land? 1t is a question almost as
puzzling as that old one which has
so long embarrassed our leading
philosophers. Does the egg belong
10 the owner of the hen or to the
fellow in whose nest it was laid? or
this one, which ever stagnates sur
gicaI decision. Is l. the hen or the
egg that's mother of the chick?
OF course. the present uncertainty
as to genus, species, sex and other
classification Of the hydro-aerOplane,
which is clearly a fish. if it isn't a
bird or a jack-rabbit, is the fault of
those Hague conferences. Looking
over the ruins of cathedraIs. graves of
school boys. ashes of peaceful homes
and other evidences Of barbarism in
that foreign war that's being waged
in the name of God. one is strongly
tempted TO ask, what in thunder did
those Hague conferences settle, any
how? However, Herr Won Bernstorff
and Mr.. Bryan. are now clearly up
against the real thing in the form OF
riddles. and if that Hague conference
still thinks 1T can settle anything, it
ought &c get together at once. Mean
while Will the gentle reader please

answer to this:
