TIME TO SWAT HEssIAN FLY.
Pests Lying Dormant in Fields During
Dry Weather, Says Dean.

Manhattan, Kan, Sept. 1S.-Swat-
ting energy should now be directed to-
ward the Hessian fly!
Dry weather did not eXterminate
this pest which destroyed SIS, 100000
worth of wheat in Kansas last spring
The insects are in the flaxseed stage,
and in districts where heavy rains
have fallen have started to emerge as
flies.
Methods of control that should be
practiced are to keep down all Volun-
teer heat, and to delay the sowing just
as long as possible without sowing too
late for good yields" says George A.
Dean, professor of entomology in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
The fly-free date varies from Sep
TENDER 80 in the northern portion of
the state to October IL in the south.
It should be remembered that the bet
ter the seed bed is prepared, the safer
it is to wait until the fly-free date.
It should be understood that wheat
sown on ground plowed in September
cannot be expected to yield as well as
the wheat sown on ground that was
plowed in July and early August and a
good seed bed prepared.

Why Suffer
From Migraine or
Sick Headache?

Dr.J.J. Caldwell says that this exceedingly
distressing disease does not shorten life,
but does not appear to be durable. Suffer
ers from this an1iction are condemned to
undergo the periodical attacks every few
weeks until they are forty Y ears OF age after
which the attacts are less frequent. and
finally disappear entirely. Palliative meas
ures during the attack are all that It is
possible to suggest, while care IN the diet is
the best preventive measure. An attack
may often be prevented by taking two
anti-kamnta tablets when the nrst symp-
toms appear, and one anti-kamnia tablet
every two hours during the attack shortens
it, eases the pain and brings rest and quiet.
Anti-kamnia tablets may be obtained at
all druggists. Ask for AK Tablets. They
quickly relieve all Pain.
