Dates for Sowing Wheat

College Park, Nd, Aug. 24.-The
Hessian Fly has caused more or less
severe injury in all parts of the State
the past season. In some cases, it has
reduced the crop of wheat from Is to
80 per cent. The general increase OF
the pest makes it necessary for farm
ers to exercise every care in prevent
ing, as far as possible, severe injury
another year.
In regard to the pest, Director T. B.
Symons, of the Maryland Agricultural
Extension Service, says, "The insect
passes the summer in the wheat stub.
No volunteer wheat should be allowed
to grow during the summer. Rotation
of crops is very beneficial. On farms
where the pest has been serious, mar
row plat of wheat should be sowed
along one side of the field about Sep
tember LIST to 10th, depending on To-
cality, as bats for the Fly. Later,
this can be plowed down.
From observations and records, and
considering the latitude and altitude
at the various points, wheat should
not be sowed in the surrounding coun-
try Of the following cities and towns
of the State before the dates given:

WHEN WE WAKE TOO SOON

The ideal OF sound, refreshing
sleep Is a sleep that begins soon
after the head touches the pillow
At night and Is unbroken until II Is
time TO rise next day.
Many people fail to attain this
deal. Some find II hard 10 get to
sleep at all. Others. though falling
asleep readily enough. wake long
before II is time to get up.
There are several causes Of this
unt,me'y wakefulness. Some Of the
causes are mental. others physical.
Prominent among the physical
causes is hunger
Let re quote on this point the
observations OF Dr.. James J. Walsh.
who has made a special study Of
early morning wakefulness:
Most Of the patients who COM
plain Of wakefulness in the early
neyning hours are really suffering
from hunger at that time. This Is
especially true with regard to those
who st~y up rather late at night.
They hsye their last regular
meal abort seven or q little earlier.
they get to bed At eleven or even
later. ard some Of them, following

The Detroit times., 1916-05-11

This Is sign Of growing sentiment
against the unpleasant custom of tin
ping.
Tipping must 20. The chief objection
to it is not the extra money one Is forced
to give In addition to the price Of the
meal, but the implied insult to the wait
er. It makes him an object Of charity.
It tends to break down the self-rsspect
of . worker who IL engaged IN . per-
fectly honorable calling. He ought to be
paid. not made to receive aims.
A man is sek-respecting only 30 long
as he gets what he earns. A waiter
earns his wages as much as bricklayer
or carpenter.
The waiter who expects tip puts him
self in class with the beggar, or the
receiver Of bride. The whole business
smacks Of servility, cringing and favor
itism.
You say you get your moneys worth
by giving tip. in courtesy and pleasing
attention; but these are the very things
no man can afford to sell. To exchange
them for money is q species Of prosti-
tuition.
Tipping is vicious practice imported
along with q lot Of ether unhealthy no
tons from Europe, where the class idea
prevails. It is obnoxious to any sound
American feeling.
A waiter is as much Of gentleman
as q senator or millionaire. He ought
to be protected from custom that ~
grades him.
There are many restaurants where all
the help seem to cooperate to make the
customer feel that he is being held up.
A boy panhandler meets you at the door
to take care of your hat, not at so much
per hat, but for what charity you may
choose to give. The head waiter expects
a gratuity If he gives you comfortable
seat. The bus boy eyes you as dog
a bone. And your waiter is an expert in
sizing up your benevolent intentions.
And the more magnificent and gilded
the eating place the more servile the at
mosphere. It is q relief to drop in at
the lunch counter and buy nourishment
as honestly a. you would buy q hat.
