SEEDING
COMBATS FLY
Experts Develop New Ways Of Flight
Ing Depredations on Wheat Of
the Hesslan Fly.

Late seeding Of wheat has been rec
commended as the only practical meth
cd of combating the Hessian fly. 1t
has been demonstrated without a
doubt that this is the only way the
farmer can get at the problem. How
ever late seeding means that the crop
Is likely to go into the winter In a
less vigorous condition than if sown
at the normal time. In order to coun-
teract this some fertilizer should be
used to cause the plants to grow more
rapidly even though late planted.
Experiments at the various stations
have shown that late seeding will be
accompanied by good yields If the
crop is handled in such way as to
make a good covering for the land be-
fore the winter sets in. This can be
accomplished only by having the land
In excellent condition of fertility as
regards plant food. Early blowing
followed by frequent harrowings will
often put the soil in a condition that
will supply sufficient plant food to en-
able the crop to make rapid growth.
However this can only be done on
land that is we'll supplied with or
ganic matter and naturally fertile. In
other cases liberal supply Of avail
able plant food in the form of COM
mercial fertilizers should be used
Experiments have shown that a
difference of two or three weeks In the
time of seeding may result in equally
good results, providing fertilizers are
used with the late sown wheat. This
is point in wheat culture that should
not be lost sight Of by the farmers, as
i. means that the Hessian fly can be
avoided by late seeding, also that the
late seeding will be accompanied by
good yields if the proper fertilizers
aro used

thing, at least. They were goin' to
strike If they didn't get the money he

to get paid. The strike talk dwindled
