KILLS HFSsIAN FLY.

wheat. The Hessian fly may be kill
ed, starved, and prevented by prac-
ticing the best farming methods to Sc
cure an increased yield of wheat.
July or very early-August blowing
buries the Hessian fly and makes from
5 to Is bushels more wheat per acre
than September blowing. It is often
advisable to disk that wheat stubble
ground and then pillow three or four
W, eks later. The disking will mash,
destroy, and expose many of the flies
in the faxseed stage. 1t will also con-
serve moisture and make blowing
much easier.
Cultivating the plowed ground
through the summer, especially after
the rains, keeps down volunteer wheat
and kills and starves the fly. 1t also
c~onserves moisture and makes a bet
te- seed bed for wheat. The fly feeds
almost entirely upon wheat but it
may be found upon rye and barley.
Wheat sown on or soon after the
fly free date is practically free from
Hessian fly injury during the fall and
winter. Careful observations and ex-
periments have shown that the fly
free dates are generally as early as
the wheat should be sown to secure a
maximum yield regardless of the fly.
For the northern third of Missouri the
safe sowing date is October l, central
third October 8, and southern third
October 16. The College Of Agri-
culture will on request furnish infor-
nation on the fy-free date for each
county Of the state.
Every wheat grower should try to
put into practice the above measures.
A united effort against the fly cannot
be emphasized too strongly, because
one farmer that fails to destroy vol
unteer wheat or that sows his wheat
too early may breed enough flies to
damage his neighbours wheat crops
badly the following spring.
Many Of the best and most success.
full wheat growers of the state have
found these measures practical and
effective in the control Of the fly and
they have greatly increased their
yields at the same time.

ALL SILo MATERIALS GOOD.
One Of the questions that comes up
when a new silo is to be purchased
or built i whether the material used
in the construction Of the silo has any
influence on the quality Of the silage.
The Missouri Experiment Station has
been studying this problem for tw
years. Samples or silage were takn
at the wall and at the center in silUs
Of stave, iron, tile, Gurler, and con-
crete types. These samples were an
alyzod and the results compared. The
results are given in detail in Research
Bulletin %, just out The results
of the analyses showed no difference
in any way between the silage from
the different types. No one should
be persuaded to base the selection Of
the silo to be used upon the statement
or supposition that one type Of silo
makes better silage than another.
ANY silo that has a tight wall that
keeps out the air and is strong enough
to withstand the pressure will pre-
serve silage.
If the corn has sufficient moisture
when put into the silo the only thing
that can interfere with the making
of good silage is the admission Of air
as the result of a poorly built silo or
insufficient packing at the time OF
filling. - c. H. Eckles, Missouri AZ

One thing that rather amused us at
the recent good roads meeting held in
Hiaekleg. was che taik given IN be-
tween coughs. by Dr. Parks Of Duluth
FIFE said that il the people in the cities
knew they had good auto read all the
way from Duluth to the Twin Cities
they would not race along, bat would
drive slow moderate gate, stop off
here and there, VISIT perhaps buy a
piece of land, etc. We are just wonder
ing IL the honorable doctor thought that
that large gathering never was outside
Ut Pine County. II he had just stepped
outside the building he could have seen
about 50 autos. so there are few mo-
torists in Pine County also, We arc of
the opinion that ii the city people know
they have u good road they will go all
the faster. This In not saying that the
country people won do the same.
