KILL ALL
VOLUNTEER WHEAT
Department of Agriculture
Advises Flowing Under
Infested Wheat.

Following the unusually severe at
tack Of Hessian Fly in Tennessee in the
fall OF 1918, 1T is both timely and i'm
portant at this time to lay stress upon
the necessary mobilization preliminary
to fight upon the fly, that an even
more severe loss may not be experienced
in the 1917 CROP says Mr.. G. NJ. Bent
ley, State Entomologist.
Mr.. Bentley and Mr.. III. X. Bryson,
Commissioner of Agriculture, both agree
that preparedness lays in blowing under
the infested stubble AS SOON AS THE
WHEAT Is CUT, and by discing and
otherwise destroying all VOLUNTEER
GROWTHS of wheat, barley, and rye,
enlisting the cooperating Of every
farmer in the country, community, or
state not to SOW grain OF these three
cereals before the 25th OF October.
Effective fly control can be gained in
no other way than by this formula,
which is based entirely upon the life
history Of the Hessian fly. 1t is q fact
that nothing can be done to save crop
of wheat already infested. but effective
steps, as outlined above, can be taken to
prevent similar loss the following
year.
Many farmers are familiar with the
fly and its history and know how to con-
troll it, but painstsking effort has proven
futile because their neigh bors have been
Indifferent and needless in adopting the
certain preventive measures as outlined
above. OF the wheat destroying insects,
none do injury com parable to the Hess
ian fly. 1t is trne that on certain years
the army worm or the chinch bug may
exact heavy toll, but the 'fy" leads
hor al u ~
tenth of the wheat grown. There are
known cases in the state where as high
as 80 per cent loss has been experienced.
Many farmers have not harvested two
thirds of crop this year.
The earliest recorded occurrence of the
Hessiau 1y in Tennessee is ia 1866,
Since that date it has scattered to all
parts of the state, and on certain years
has proven most serious pest to the
wheat-growing interests. The years
1876, 1s7S 1889, 1908, 19lo 1915, and 1916
have been years of very serious losses
to the wheat farmer in Tennessee.

HELP SAVE YOUR PROPERTY

Public cooperation with the Fire Pre-
vention Department would return larger
dividends to the people of Tennessee
than anything else that could be done
by the public. If each law abiding citi-
zen would accept from this department
the authority which Is hereby granted,
to investigate each FIRE in his Immediate
neigh borhood; notice his neigh hbors
premises and where rubbish, oils. ashes,
explosive, or other matter exists, which
In their judgement creates q hazard to
fire or destruction of life or property,
and write the State Fire Prevention
Department at Nashville informing
them of such hazard or suspicious fire,
the great waste from this cause would
be reduced rs per cent in a very short
period of time.
Public sentiment is largely to blame
for the shameful destruction by fire.
The often expressed opinion Is LET
the Insurance Companies pay, we have
paid them enough" and a common
expression among thoughtless business
men is Another fellow selling out to
the Insurance companies" This is q
misnomer. The people who wink and
smile at such dastardly crime, pay the
fire loss; the fire bug is robbing you and
me in the most cowardly manner
possible
There are cases on record where
jurors have voted to acquit defendents
of criminal burning for the expressed
purpose of allowing such criminal to
collect his insurance, knowing that
such verdict OF guilty be rendered
policy. Do you, a citizen of Tennessee,
nf nj
justice?
When the people, courts and jurors,
come to realize that the insurance
companies are simply collectors of
premiums and distributors of same to
pay the fire losses, and that there will
be corresponding reduction in premi-
um rates to reduction in fire losses,
then justice will be done, and the pub
lie will see that justice Is meted out
to all alike. Remember this. The
people are paying the fire losses, not
the insurance Companies.
Public sentiment is becoming more
crystallized against criminal burning
and unnecessary hazards every day and
as the subjuct is brought before the en-
lightened public by the press, the CO.
operation will become more general and
the FIRE losses will be reduced accord
ingly.
A loss by fire is that much OF the
nations values wiped from off the earth
and can never be returned; the field for
conservation is greater from this than
any other.
respectfully request all good citi-
zens to report all fires and hazards COM
ing under thir observation, and assure
them that such information will be kept
in strict confidence and that their
names shall not leave this office.

ment? Are the other Southern States
to continued growing at a rate two and
ons-half times as rapid as we? or the
fifteen states engaged in cotton manu-
featuring are we to continue foot? Are
we to continue living under a constitu-
tion made for small agricultural pop
ulation and which we have long since
outgrownp Are we longer to put up
with government so expensive and
inefficient that it costs the Taxpayers
twenty or twenty-five thousand dollars
to get rid of corrupt Judge? These
are some Of the questions that voters
must answer when we vote August 3rd
on Constitu tional Convention.
NO MONEY FOR CAMPAIGN.
O II we win, the farmers, the industrial
workers, the professional and business
men must vote. Neither the railroads,
the public service corporations nor the
political leaders of the state are help
ing in the least Nor have these in
tiuential interests contributed one cent
to the campaign. We have never had
money enough to pay printing, postage
and clerical bills. We have not been
able to supply as much literature as
we have had calls for.
NEWSPAPERS SAVED US.
The newspapers alone, daily and
weekly. have been alive to the great
need of constitutional revision, and
they have borne the brunt of this cam
paign, giving freely of their space and
editorial support without cent of COM
pensation. To them all credit and hon
or is due.
VOTE AUGUST 3RD.
But farmers want to see their land
values enhance and have better mar
ket for their produce; laboring men
want better demand for their labor:
professional men desire an increased de-
mand for their skill; business men want
more customers, and these things can
only be when we amend our Constitu-
tion, revise our taxing system and
make our state more attractive to both
and new industries. The
August election is the most important
in fif y years.

Leather is tough, hardy substance
which at one time was used in the
manufacture Of shoes For years the
people of this country wore large,
bunion-pr0ducing shoes of pure leath-
cr which could be put on in May and
worn until death without showing the
least sign of exhaustion, but they can
not do 50 today.
Owing to the European war and the
memorable law of supply and demand
which also controls the price of steel
rails, genuine, hand buffed leather IS
getting harder to find than q pure pol

shoes to leap straight up, describe a
graceful parabola and fall on the neck
of the ultimate consumer with a sick

A letter to The directors of the Cen
trail Park Zoo, New York. Dear Sirs-
Everyday Wisdom has suggestion
You may not care, You may not think
it is any of our business.
We suggest that you buy and in
stall COW in the Central Park zoo.
There are millions of little children
in New York who have never seen a
COW. Perhaps not millions, but several
dozen, at least.
They have seen lions, tigers, ant
eaters and other faunae of foreign
forests, but they have never laid eyes
on an American, domestic, barayard
or pasture cow. This is absurd.
All they know about cows is that
milk comes in bottles, mysteriouslv,
like Santa Claus and like little broth
ers and sisters.
We suggest a COW renaissance in
New York One time a cow came tc
Manhattan Island and laid off Broad
way by walking crookedly and un
steadily from one end of the island
to the other, and that is the last time
a COW has been seen in New YorI
city.
The Central Park zoo ought to keeE
cow Show the children Of New Yorl
some Of the animals of America; they
know enough about the animals o.
Europe. Have milking days. Show
the little ones the source Of milk ant
roast beef medium. New York chill
dren don t know any more about cows
than country people know about thu
origin of wall paper.
