county is represented in some petit.
ton. Under the law eleven congress.
sional districts would have been suffi.
cient, but the disposition to sign petit.
tons was so strong throughout the
state that fifteen congressional dis.
tricts were completed and filed.
Under the law $4,000 signatures
would have been sufficient, but the
Initiative Petition Committee, as
shown by previous figures, far exceed.
ed the number required by law, as
well as the number of congressional
districts. It was a great occasion and
will make history for the state.
About a year ago a group of men.
consisting of farmers, business men,
bankers, professional men, scholars.
members Of labor unions, newspaper
editors and representatives of other
occupations and employments. organ.
lied the Gardner Land Bank state
Committee. They came from all parts
Of the state. Every congressional dis
trict had It's proportion Of representa-.
lives.
These men organized for the sole
purpose of amending the State Consti.
tuition so as to provide for the estab.
lishment of the Missouri State Land
Bank.
The State Legislature at its 1915
session had passed what is known as
the Gardner Land Bank Bill, provid.
Ing a land bank for farmers. After the
Legislature had adopted this bill. in
order TO avoid any possible doubt as
to its constitutionality, an amendment
to the Constitution was prepared and
It was determined to submit this
amendment by the initiative petition
to the people of Missouri.

PREPARE DRIVE ON
HESSIAN FLY
Missouri Farmers to Attack
Enemy in Every Wheat
Growing Country.

G~AhJ AZ Ivy TA
Growing Country.
"The most gigantic drive that
has ever ben delivered against
the Hesian Fly is now being pre-
Jared by Missouri farmers in
every wheat growing county of
the state" says 7. j. Talbert,
assistant professor of horticul-
Iture at the University of Mis-
souri, at Columbia. According
to Mr.. Talbert, the fly is now en-
trenched in the flax seed and
maggot stage between the leaf
sheath and stalk at the bottom
Of the wheat plant. The enemy
will remain in this position I'M
til fall, thus providing the farm
er an opportunity to deal him an
effective blow at his weakest
point.
During the months of July,
August and September the
trenches of the Hessian fly can
easily be taken without artillery
preparation. AS soon as
practical after harvest, the farm
er will advance in the open to
the first line trenches in the
wheat stubble fields, and by the
use Of the disc, harrow and
he will bury the enemy
beneath the soil.
In order to make the d~estruc-
of the enemy complete, his
food supply must be cut off. This
can be done by discing and har-
rowing the plowed ground to
keep down volunteer wheat.
The fly will make his general
attack upon the fall wheat dur
.ng September and October after
which he will take his encamp-
nent for the winter at the base
the wheat plants. AS the life
the fly is only four or five
lays in the adult stage during
which time the eggs are deposit
ID on the wheat leaves, it is adj
to SOW the wheat late
enough to escape the egg laying
# the main fall brood of flies.
The fly free dates for Mis-
iouri are about as follows:
For northern third of state,
Oct. 1; central third, Oct. g.;
third, Oct. 16. If the
iy is allowed to intrench himself
n early wheat and volunteer
Wheat in the summer and fall,
lie may emerge the following
in numbers sufficient to
10 great harm to wheat that was
on the fly free date. To
make a successful fight against
ne enemy, cooperation is nee
ssary and cannot be too strong
y emphasized.

M. U. DOCTOR ADVISES
ON SUMNER LIVING
Eat Clean, Wholesome Food and
Don't Worry, Says M. p.
RaVenel.

Ravenel.
For the preservation OF healtl
and production of efficiency, maj
needs a mixed diet. There ar,
certain food principles which
are essential, says DR.. M. P
Ravenel Of the department Of
preventative medicine of the
University of Missouri at Col,
umbia.
First, the %proteins, whose prin-
cipal function is the building up
of tissue, replacing wear and
tear. They are found in meats,
eggs, milk and certain vege-
tables, like beans, peas, lentils
and nuts.
Second, the carbohydrates,
whose function is chiefly to pro-
vide fuel and energy. They are
found in two Of the ordinarily
used food stuffs, the starches
such as bread, cereals, rice, po-
tatoes, ETC.; and the sugars,
which are found in the juices of
various plants, in honey, etc.
Third, fats whose function is
chiefly to furnish fuel. The
chief sources of fats are cream,
the fat Of meats, many nuts, etc.
Fourth, the minerals and or
ganic acids, which are essential
to the body. These are found in
many vegetables and certain
other foods, particularly in milk
and the yolk of eggs.
Certain other principles have
been discovered in recent years,
among the chief of which are
substances called vitamins. These
are absolutely essential to we'll
being. They are found in fresh
food Of all kinds, like meats, yolk
Of eggs, peas, beans, various
vegetables and fruits. They are
destroyed by some of our meth
DDS of preparation of food. For
example, sterilized milk and
sterilized canned foods are in
large part deprieved of these
vitamins. We can also take
them away from vegetables, like
rice, by a high degree of polish
ing, which has been largely prac-
ticed.
Babies feed on steriIized milk
sometime develop scurvy. This
can be prevented by feeding a
tablespoonful Of orange juice
once a day. g 81 z 20,
People should not worry too
much about their eating. If the
foods are clean, fresh and well
prepared, the average person
gets a fairly well balanced ra-
ton.
In people inclined to over
weight, or those who lead seden-
tary lives, the fats, starches and
sugars should be reduced, and
fruit and vegetables increased.
Those who are underweight, or
are engaged in heavy muscular
labor, should increase the starch
es, fats and sugars.
