to escape the fall brood of flies are the
most practical methods known for
controlling this pest.
Since the pest is found in the wheat
stubble during 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 a week or two pillow
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 stubble in the in
tested regions before August. Coop
GRAFTON is necessary. One infested stub
BILE field will furnish flies for whole
community. Farmers must work to-
pest. After the Stubble has been
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
a place to lay their eggs and the crop
escapes injury. 1t is folly to suppose
that wheat sown after the swarm has
come and gone, will be as badly in
tested as early sown wheat. AS an ex-
ample, in normal fall the flies have
largely come and gone In north Mis-
souri, by October /, in central Missouri
by October Z and in south Missouri
by October 10 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. 1t shows poor judgment to SOW
wheat in August or September for pas
ture, in a region where the fly is album
dant.
Look out for trouble in the crop of
wheat following a year in which the
Hessian fly has been destructive. Avoid
this by thoroughly destroying the in
tested stubble and by sowing late
enough in October to escape the fall
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
for a 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 is soon as they are large
enough. These eggs are laid in regu-
lar rows of one TO q dozen along the
veins on the upper side of the wheat
blades. The individual egg is very

GOVERNMENT MAY
 SEND ENGINEER TO
 AID RIVER PROJECT
Senator Underwood Will Assist if Possible in Securing Federal Aid
 for Warrior Highway

A road engineer of the United States government will probably be sent to Bir- mingham to assist in the Warrior river highway plans. A request will be made of the county board of revenue Monday morning that that body ask Senator Un- derwood to send a government road en- gineer here committee from the Jeff ferson County Good Roads association will appear before the board of revenue and ask that such a request be made. The county good roads association is in receipt of a letter from Senator Under wood to the effect that he would try to send an engineer here if the board of revenue made such request.
 The Jefferson County Good Roads asso- citation recently asked Senator Underwood to send a government road engineer here to aid in the river highway work, and in response to their request Senator Un- derwood wrote the following letter:

 February 25, 1916. 'sAIr. J. A. Rountree. Secretary Jefferson I County Good Goads Association. Bir- ningham, Ala.
 My Dear Rountree: I received your letter of the 23d instant today and note your request that ask that a govern ment road engineer be sent to Jefferson county to investigate the various roads leading from Birmingham to the Warrior river. As the board of revenue already has it's own engineers making surveys, feel that should not interfere with their work and what has been done without request comes from them officially, as 1t might be construed by some to inter- fere with suggestion that does not be- long to the government, but if the board desires government engineer to come down and assist them with the work, will be glad to assist them if possible With kindest regards, am, cordially yours. o. w.

DR. CUNNINGHAM OF SEVILLE, SPAIN, 10 BE AT UNIVERSITY
Will Lecture on World P0li- tics and Pan-American Trade Conditions at
 Summer School

ITniversity. March 4.-(Special )--Of
 snacia1 significance to the business
 men of Alabama is the announcement
 made here today by Dean Doster of the
 University of Alabama summer school
 that Dr. c. H. Cunningham of the Uni
 versity of Spain has been secured to
 offer courses dealing with world pol
 icies and Pan-American trade condi-
 tions at the coming session of the sum-
 mer school pr. Cunningham cabled
 his acceptance from Seville. Spain, to- day, and will arrive in Tuscaloosa
 early in June.
 The courses to be offered by Dr. Gun
 mingham are the first of their kind to be attempted in the south. They are being offered by the university un- der the auspices of the American As sociation for International Cancellation and will include not only systematic investigation of world politics, but searching inquiry into the interna- tional diplomatic situation resulting from the world war
 COMPLETE SURVEY These courses comprise a survey from the standpoint of American in- terests of treaties and international re- lationships immediately leading up to the present struggle, and of the inter national realignments and problems of diplomacy created by it.
 In offering Dr. Cunningham's course on Pan-American conditions the uni versity is but furthering steps taken in Birmingham and elsewhere in the state to assist the business interests of Alabama in taking advantage of the opportunity offered by the way for great bulk of the trade of South Amer ica. Special instruction is being plan ned for employees of business interests in preparation for some account of Americanism in its most recent and tangible forms. The causes which are bringing the countries more closely within the sphere of southern influence and interest will receive at- tention. Southern business conditions, its relations to the Pan-American re- publics, and courses of dealing most likely to encourage the confidence and | cooperation of South America in per
 manent trade relations have been | manned
