Farmers Control Hessian Fly.

Missouri farmers have done effective
work in controlling the hessian fly.
A recent survey made by the Univer-
sity Of Missouri College of Agriculture
and the United States Department OF
Agriculture indicated that the CO.
operative work which farmers are do
log has practically eliminated the fly
wherever the cooperation has been
thoro. Hessian fly experimental
fields in johnson, Clay, Nodaway
Carroll, Boone, Madison, Ste. Gene
We've, Perry, Mississippi, Butler.
Greene, and Laclede counties were
inspected. In addition several farms
in each of the counties were inspect
ed, In addition several farms in each
Of the counties were also visited.
In 1a15l9l6 Missouri as whole was
heavily infested with fly and in some
sections the wheat crop was almos,
complete y destroyed. AS a result Of
this damage many Missouri farmers
began to practice control measure.
by plowing under the stubble early
just as soon as the wheat was cut
keeping down all volunteer wheat
during July, August and September
and seeding on or about the hy-free
date. This practice resulted in gooc
seed bed and fewer flies, with larg-
er yield from the 1D16-l917 crop.
This fall very little wheat was sowr
before the tly.free date, except in
sections where an exceptionally large
crop was sown and owing to the scar
city of labor the seeding had to be
oegun early, as was the case in South
east Missouri, where the fly was
found. However, taking the state al
a whole very little damage need be
expected to the l917-1S wheat croE
by the hessian fly, The acreage ol
wheat is from twenty five to fifty
per cent greater this year than las
and the prospects for large crol
are good, provided that the winter il
favorable.

The War Risk Insurance Act.

1. The War Risk Insurance Act, APP
proved October 9th, 1917, substantial
ly adds to the remuneration or COM
pensation allowed by the Govern
ment to men enlisting in the Navy
aud also enables them to take out in
surance at a very low rate for their
own benefit if disabled and for their
dependents if they die or are killed in
the service. These added advantages
should be brought to the attention of
men suitable for enlistment, especial
ly those who have relatives depend =
ent upon them.
1t is intended herein to give merely
an outline of the benefits to be de-
rived and il more specific information
is desired it is suggested that inquiry
be made of this Station.
2. Family Allowance: Men may
now enlist in the Navy and be sssured
that while in the service, those de-
pendent on them will receive from
the Government monthly allowance
in addition to the Sailors pay. II a
man has a wife only, the Government
will send her each month sl5.OG IL
wife and one child, S25.OO; If wife and
two children, s32 SO and $500 for each
additional child, up to $4,000. II q
man has a motherless child, It will
be allowed $500; II two, s12.5o; three,
$4,000 and 90 on up to $4,000.
To get those allowances, In addition
to the mans pay, he simply hab to
order an equal amount sent to the de-
pendents out OF bis pay, but never
more than half his pay. Thus, II .
man with wife but no child will order
the Department to send her $500 out
Of his pay, the Government will add
$500 to II and send her $4,000 each
month. Likewise, Upon ordering .
portion Of his pay turned over to de-.
pendent parents, grandparents, broth
era or sisters, the Government will
make allowance to them, depending
upon the relationship, etc.

Has Accepted Bank Position.

Pennington Times: "Carl Trauer-
nicht, who has been for the past four
years deputy clerk, and latterly has
been secretary of the local Draft
Board, has resigned from both posi-
, tions, to take effect at once, and has
been elected by the board of directors
Of the St. Francois County Bank to
the assistant cashiership. left vacant
some time ago,by the resignation Of
G. e. Wood. .4u
"Mr. Trauernicht will enter upon his
new duties within the next few days,
but will retain some connection with
the work of the local board until the
first of the year, in order to give them
the benefit Of his experience and
knowledge Of the details of the work.
"The bank ia fortunate in securing
Mr.. Trauernicht. In addition to q
thorough legal training, and broad
experience for a young man in busi-
ness affairs, he brings to the work he
has undertaken genial, pleasant and
courteous personality which has made
him one Of the best known and most
thoroughly popular young business
men in the county. His work as-dep.
nty county clerk has been in every
way exceptional. With the county
clerk absent quite great deal of the
time owing to pressure Of other bust
ness matters, Carl has been virtually
in charge OF the Office and its affairs
for several years. And the same con-
dition has obtained largely in connec-
tion with the work Of the local board
for st. Francois dounty. 1t will be
hard to replace him, but the bank
makes distinct gain by getting Mr..
Trauernicht into its organization, and
we congratulate both them and the
young man himself upon connection
mutually to the advantage Of BOTH"

LAST CALL FOR MEN Of
DRAFT ACE T0ENTERNAVY
After Dec. 10 Option to Enter Mari.
time Service viii Be Closed to
Youths of First Class.

This is a time when every young
man Of draft age must ask himself
seriously what the next few months
will hold for him.
1t is becoming daily more apparent
that America will have to put 5,000,.
900 men in the field. Under the plans
for the next draft, the bulk Of these
must come from what is called the
first class, composed Of young men
without dependent relatives and en-
gagged in no profession or trade essen
tial to the winning Of the war.
The wisdom OF such an arrangement
is too apparent to need discussions
But when II is remembered that a
large percentage of men in this class
will be rejected for physical disabili.
ties end for other essential reasons
the chances Of exemption for each
healthy, able.bodied individual Of this
class become remote.
One option is left to these men, and
only one. They can volunteer in the
navy. provided they do 1t before Dec
Is. After that day they cannot make
this choice, except In few cases
where they are close to the bottom Of
the list, and then only when they gel
permission from the exemption
boards.
The navy needs 10000 more men
needs them urgently. needs them
right away. OF this total Missouri
has quota Of 1900 men. It Is q
splendid service. More than that, II

corn cribs piled high with yellow
sleek looking CATTLE" writes Mr..
Thomas. But, nevertheless, North
