 He explains that compressed air is used to discharge the projectiles, which will have greater range and penetrating power than any present powder-driven shell. Twenty to thirty miles is the estimated range. Dis charge will be caused by the combined use of liquid air and timers. The shell will be constructed in 8, 10, 12 and IA inch sizes and they will be somewhat similar to shells now in use

to escape the fall brood of flies are the most practical methods known for controlline this pest.
 Since ] pest is found in the wheat stubble ts1ring the summer in the rest ing flaxseed stage it can be completely destroyed if all infested stubble be de- stroyed. Flowing under stubble early in July where it is not too dry, is the most logical and economical method of placing the stubble where the pest will be destroyed. Some farmers disk thor Oughly and then in week or two blow the Stubble under. In case the pest be located in the stubble above ground,
 burning off stubble will destroy it though the stubble is also lost. The fiaxseed stages are often located so low in the stubble that burning them may not destroy all of them. By all means get rid of all stubbIe in the in- fested regions before August. Coop eration is necessary. One infested stub- ble field will furnish flies for whole community. Farmers must work to- gether in order to fully destroy the It.. plowed under, work the ground so as to pack it, and keep down all volunteer wheat.
 Sow Wheat Very Late.
 The second effective remedy for the fly is to SOW wheat as late in the fall as possible so as to escape the heavy swarm of flies. If wheat is not yet up when the flies come they die without place to lay their eggs and the crop escapes injury. It Is folly to suppose that wheat sown after the swarm has come and gone. will be as badly in- fested as early sown wheat. As an ex- ample, in a normal fall the flies have largely come and gone in north Mis- souri by October 1, in central Missouri by October 2 and in south Missouri by October 15 and wheat sown after these dates Is seldom attacked by the fly in the fall. Late sown wheat may suffer severe injury in the spring if the spring brood of flies migrates to it from neighboring fields which were sown sufficiently early in the fall to be attacked by the fall brood of flies. It shows poor judgment to SOW wheat in August or September for pas ture, in region where the fly is abun- dant.
 Look out for trouble in the crop of wheat following year in which the Hessian fly has been destructive. Avoid this by thoroughly destroying the in- fested stubble and by sowing late enough in October to escape the fall 1 swarm of flies. If these precautions | are taken by all farmers there Is no | need of completely abandoning the | growing of wheat in any community l for few years.
 Life History-The adult flies of the | fall brood appear in the fields early in | September, and the females scatter | about to lay their eggs on the young | wheat plants as soon as they are large l enough. These eggs are laid in regu- lar rows of one to dozen along the veins on the upper side of the wheat blades. The individual egg is very |
