"wELL, YES, / GUESS so, BUT

There is Il man in this town who
if you we're to ask him if he is glat
to be alive, would answer: "Well
yes, guess so, but" and ther
would follow a string of pessimism
as long as a tape line.
We sometimes wonder if this man
feels any sense of gratitude to his
Creator or to his parents for bring
ing him into the world.
And then again, we wonder WHY
they brought him here.
He is the father of all pessimists.
He is the original propounder of
the query, '1s life worth living?"
The retina of his eye registers
but one color-blue. Everything
looks blue to him. Gods glorious
sunshine is as lifeless to him as a
moonbeam. The very blood in his
veins must be composed of skinned
milk.
You've seen this fellow. You've
seen him mingle with a joyous
crowd when fun and frolic were at
high tide, and his presence had an
effect like unto that of a chemical
engine at fire.
You've seen him enter a meeting
where enthusiastic souls were striv-
ing to launch some movement of
great social and civic betterment,
and the very sight of his face, to
say nothing of his pessimistic
doubtings, has acted like a wet
blanket on the spirits of those
present.
He is the identical party for
whom are framed the famous negro
beatitude: BLESSED am dem wat

We marvel and speculate as to
the depths of misery his gloomy
representations will ultimately lead
him, and we feel just like shaking
him and saying: "Smile, d-n you,

BEATING THE
HESSIAN FLY
Methods Of Successful Mich.
Igan Farmers.

At this time. when the fight on the
Hessian Fly is becoming SO wide
spread. and every implement Of war
fare is being used, any word or meth
cd of control is eagerly sought. To the
E"pestered" wheat growers nothing is
more acceptable than news Of the
success of other practical farmers
and because of this the experience oil
Mr.. p. l. Simons of Calhoun County
Mich, is worthy of note 1t is not a
one years test, but observations
from three crops that the, conclusion
is based upon.
AS Mr.. Simons tells It: "The wheat
field was severely attacked by thu
Hessian fly, and the average yield
that year was to bushels per acre.
Right across the fence trcm my wheat
field was another on the same kind
of ground that had been prepared in
practically the same way.
1.-THE difference was that | used
200 pounds of a complete fertilizer
per acre. The application was made
with a fertilizer attachment to the
grain drill at the time of sowing. At
four different places across the field
strips were untreated and the entire
field was seeded to clover.
up to June 10th the fly had not
attacked my fortified wheat, but had
attacked the unfertilized wheat in the
same field to such an extent that the
drill rows where no fertilizer was
used appeared as wagon roads across
the field. At this time the field across
the fence from mine had practically
been destroyed, yielding only 8 bush
els pc. acre. My wheat threshed out
Fl bushels per acre. The fertilizer
that year meant an increase OF at
least 10 bushels per acre to me.
Nov, when 1t came to the seeding
where no fertilizer was applied l fail
ed to get a clover stand, while on the
fortified portion of the field / had
the best clover in the neighborhood."
1t should not be taken that fertili. |
ger will kill the fly. 1t isn't an in
secticide, but it fulfills its mission
when the increased health and vigor
of the plants results, and thus the
fly turns to the weaker, sicklier plants
to carry on the destruction. Sowing |
late will help avoid the fall brood, |
but no recourse other than having
good strong healthy plants can be
turned TO so that the spring brood
will not have the chance of profit
taking.

STAMP OUT THE FLY

ton of the soil, so as to form the
best possible conditions for germina.
ton; heavy fertilization, IL the soil
is rot already in good condition, so
as to insure quick and rapid growth,
and late sowing so as to compel the
flies to go elsewhere to deposit their
eggs"
TLis extract from Bulletin 1914 OF
the Indiana Experiment Station con-
tains in a nutshell the main condi.
lions to be handled in the control of
the pest. The Illinois Circular LAG al
so makes good point when 1t de-
clares: "a vigorous wheat plant is
much better able to react against an
attack of the fly, especially by stool
ing freely or throwing out an abund.
ance of new shoots from the root.
Whatever tends. consequently. to give
vigor to the plant reduces proportion.
ally the percentage Of loss"
This leads to the conclusion that a
fertilizer containing at least per
cent ammonia and at least 10 per cent
available phosphoric acid may be the
salvation of the crop, and the expert.
ence Of many users bear this out. With
such crop insurance SO cheap compared
with results obtained. the enhanced
chances for successful clover catch
always greater by its use. fertilizer
will play a very important part in
this 3ght on the Hessian Fly.

FEED-UP YOUR FIELDS

There is farmer whom know

He knows that larger yields of wheat

With crop reports much lower thar

The farmer easily can see that plan,

A little potash strengthens straw and
pumps the kernels too.
Let's help the plants make good stall
growth and fill the kernels plump.

Then watch the profits Jump!
The profits come with larger yields
the average crops don't pay
So why not get your share of gain

With wheat you have a high-priced
crop and extra bushels count,
Fertilize your fields. bring up your
yields and watch your profits mount
And when you see just how Il paws

Next year you'll feed your other crops
and all your records beat.

Ger control of the matter. Without
this amendment the schools could not
have opened. The situation was too
critical. With it, the opening of the
schools helped greatly to exterminate
smallpox. Every school, public and
private, was in charge of physician.
The doctors worked with will, and
if anything was done thoroughly and
conscientiously in this city, it was the
vaccination of all teachers and pupils.
Through the influence of the Cham
Der of Commerce, the employers pre-
vailed upon their employees to get
vaccinated. Also to have everyone in
their family vaccinated. The cense-
quence was that the people got vac
cinated by tens of thousands. Men
who formerly spurned the vaccinator

vivid memories OF earlier horrors, the
disease was met at the outset with
vigorous measures. 1t was discov-
cred that in spite Of the experience of
the Board of Education eight years
before and without regard to the rule
which provided that No teacher or
pupil shall attend any school without
furnishing satisfactory certificate that
he or she has been successfully vac
cinated or otherwise protected from
smallpox, unvaccinated children had
been admitted to the public schools
by thousands. By the time that six
ty-three cases of smallpox had been
reported, the Board of Health again
took matters into its own hands, en-
tered the school and vaccinated $4,000
children. Equally vigorous measures
were taken among adults and the cpl
demic was checked.
Every year since 1910 there have
