Pittsburgh. st. Louis and Philadelphia.
The New York club has loads Of
money. and Chicago, which also Is
financially well fixed, will oppose the
proposed rule. and Boston may side
with them. The opponents will attack
the inconsistency Of Brooklyn by re-
calling that in 1915, when the Dodgers
were headed for the championship,
they swarped Lew McCarty to tho
Giants for Fred Merkle because Jake
Daubert was a physical unknown guam

When wheat follows q cultivated
crop that is removed sufficiently early,
such as corn or tobacco, the soil can
usually be prepared for seeding by the
use Of a disk and ordinary harrows.
As soon rs the crop is harvested the
land should be gone over with the
disk To prevent the growth Of grass
and weeds. A second disking, followed
by narrowing, Is given JuA before the
grain is sown. A better seed bed can
be prepared In this way than by plow-
ing, and Il takes much less time and
work. II weeds are plentiful. blowing
three or four inches deep may be nee
essary. Narrowing with IN ordinary
harrow should follow the blowing.
When wheat follows cotton the
stalks should be plOwcd under as soon
as the hollis are all open and picked.
Flowing in this case should be deep
enough 10 bury the stalks completely
In order 10 destroy the boil weevil.
The land should then be iirmed with
a roller ana the wheat sOwn Win u

advisable, as II unearths tho buried
stalks.
When wheat follows other than a
cultivated crop, the seed bed should
be prepared by plowirg the land to
a depth Of six or seven inches several
weeks before seeding. 1t should then
be narrowed at once and afterwards
worked down with Il harrow, disk
drag, or roller In such n ann as to
kill oil weeds that start to grow after
the totsoll is well broken up. When
II Is necessary to pillow Just before
seeding, as when a catch crop OF cow
peas is plowed under, the soil should
be compacted by rolling and narrowing
several times before seeding.

The Hessian fly, q minute wheat
parasite, less than knee-high to a
grasshopper, but gigantic as a fierce
lion in its destructiveness, collects
s50,000,000 a year from American
wheat growers. This mosquito-like
fly lays its eggs upon the leaves Of
wheat, and after the eggs hatch the
little maggots live upon the plants
sap which they obtain by gnawing In.
narily two, " sometimes three or
more, generations Of the insect occur
during a year. The main army Of
flies arrives in the fall and conducts
a carnival OF d%espoliation among the
newly seeded grain. After the Hessian
fly has once thoroughly infested q
crop Of wheat there Is no known
means Of saving the grain, and the
only known method Of preventing dam
age from the fly Is to keep such invad.
ers out of the wheat.
Safe Dates for Seeding.
One Of the most effective means OF
escaping fly damage Is to defer full
seeding until danger OF molestation
from the fly Is over Safety dates for
seeding wheat in different sections Of
the country are as follows:
Northern Michigan. soon after Sep
TENDER l; in southern Michigan, and
northern Ohio, about September 20; In
southern Ohio, after the first week In
October; In Kentucky and Tennessee.
October 10 TO 20; in Georgia and South
Carolina, October 25 TO November 10;
In extreme southern Kansas and north
ern Oklahoma, as well as in Virginia,
after the first week In October. Oc-
tober-sown wheat always enjoys the
greatest freedom from the fly in Mis-
souri,. Practically the same corre-
spending delay in wheat sowing In the
fall should be followed to the south
ward.
