sums Its damage has been so great

nothing that IL has outlived its vel
come. but instead plods on year after

What are you doing to stop the Hes.
sian Fly? Your cooperation with your
neighbor means as much to you as to

duty TO your community to help in
this eradication.
Remember these three things-sow
late. prepare the ground well. and add
plant food to your soil. Give
the young plants a late start to be
free from the fly but also give them
a chance to obtain food by applying
at least 200 pounds OF fertilizer con.

that they may have a good growth be-
