SeasOnable Sport

Coasting has delighted the young
folks for the last few days, the long hill
leading to the school afording excel
lent opportunity for this sport. Skating
is also engaging the attention Of some.
Miss Mary Harmed, daughter Of DR..
Harmed was seriously injured Monday
by sled running into her while the
young folks were coasting. She was
unconscious for nearly three hours.
We are glad to say that she is now able
to again enjoy the sport.
Bailey McManus, sor OF R. B. Nc
Manus, was quite painfully injured
while coasting last Sunday. A sled
turned over and dumped the boys and
before he could get out Of the way an
other sled struck his thigh and he says
it hurt. However, he was able TO go
skating Wednesday evening.
A little sport now and then is enjoy
ed even by pigs. One little porker was
observed to be coming down the hill
with one OF the boys. However, the
pig was crossing the path at the same
time the sled came along, and the
pig catcher" on the sled picked him
up and gave him ride down the hill.

Farmers Control AeSsian Fly

Missouri farmers have done efec'
tive work in controlling the hessian fly.
A recent survey made by the Univer'
sity Of Missouri College of Agriculture
and the United States Department oi
Agriculture indicated that the cooper
alive work which farmers are doing has
practically eliminated the fly wherever
the cooperation has been thoro. Hes
sian fly experimental fields in Johnson,
| Clay, Nodaway, Carroll, Boone, Madi-
son, Ste. Genevieve, Perry, Mississippi,
Butler, Greene, and Laclede counties
were inspected. In addition several
farms in each Of the counties were also
visited. Only in Mississippi county
was the hessian fly found.
In 1915 1916 Missouri as a whole
was heavily infested with fly and in
some sections the wheat crop was al
most completely destroyed. AS re-
suit of this damage many Missouri
farmers began to practice control meas
ures BY blowing under the stubble
early, just as soon as the wheat was
cut, keeping down all volunteer wheat
during J.lY, August and September
and seeding on or about the fly free
date. This practice resulted in good
seedbed and fewer flies, with a larger
yield from the l9l6.19l7 crop,
This fall very little wheat was sown
before the fly free date, except in Sec
lions where an exceptionally large crop
was sown and owing to the scarcity Of
labor the seeding had TO be begun
early, as taking Southeast Missouri,
where the A, was FUND. Howeve-,
taking the state as whole very little
damage need be expected to the 1912
and Is wheat crop BY the htssian A7.
| The acreage Of wheat is from twenty,
FIVE to fifty per cent greater this year
than last and the prospects for a large
crop are good, provided that the winter
( is favorable.
