The Hessian fly IS not a native Of

1t came OF how. It was noticed in
ITO on Long Island, N. Y. in the
vicinity of the place where Lord
Hcwe's army, largely Hessian mer-

the Hessians had brought the insect

If they attend the thrashermen's

The purpose is primarily to improve
thrashing conditions. Instruction will
cover the theory Of the separator. the

work to give students skill in adjust

to hold schools Immediately after or

Necessity for practical education Of
American thrashermen was brought
out strikingly by results in Minnesota
last year recording the normal waste
Of grain in thrashing. Comprehensive
tests, which included the work Of the
more than $500 machines in the Co
pher state, showed that the average
avoidable loss in tErashing wheat was
400 bushels day, worth approximate

forms so extremely unlike as to be
confusing to any except the expert

The fly usually deposits its eggs In

of wheat. The larva, shortly after
Matching. makes its way down the
leaf and behind the sheath. continuing
In young wheat to the roots of the
plant In older wheat it is able to 60

frequently SO numerous as to be pack

produced. Overwhelming is accom-
plished in the flaxseed stage.
Destructive TO Wheat.
The Hessian fly feeds chiefly on the
wheat plant. and in a smaller measure
on barley and rye. The oat plant is
immune. The effect is that II infesta-
ton begins while the wheat is young,
the plant grows without stem and be-
comes a mere mass Of overgrown
leaves. II infestatiOn comes after
jointing has begun. the straws break
over and the wheat falls before har-
