In east-central Kansas, usually from
October to 20.
In extreme southern Kansas and
northern Oklahoma wheat should not
be sown until the second week in Oc-

This is true also of Virginia near sea

October-sow1 wheat always enjoys
the greatest freedom from the fly in
Maryland, except in the mountainous
regions where earlier planting is nee
essary.
In southeastern Pennsylvania the
safe period is during the last week Of
September, a1d practically the same
corresponding delay in wheat sowing
in the fall should be followed to the

These dates are only approximate,
and serve to show in a general way

considerably in broken or hilly country,

least they could not blame this muir
der on me-
Mr.. Castor, it appeared, had come
to the Granddeck about ten o'clock in
the morning and had gone at once to
his apartment. On his arrival he had
been greeted by the telephone girl and
had Informed her that he was only in
the city for few days and was stay
ing at hotel. He had added that ne
would not be occupying the apartment
for several weeks until his wife's re-
turn to the city. About half-past
twelve there had come a telephone
call for him. The girl had been IN
able to get any response from the
apartment. Knowing that he had not
gone out, and fearing that he might
have had sudden attack of illness,
she had become alarmed and notified
Mr.. Wick, the superintendent.
The superintendent, the account
continued, had summoned Mr.. Henry
Kent, the owner of the Granddeck
apartments. Together they had gone
to Mr.. Gaston's rooms. Being unable
to get any reply to repeated rings and
knocks they had finally let themselves
in with a pass key in possession of
the owner of the building.
In his study in the rear of the
apartment they were Mortified to find
old Rufus CASTOR, fully clad, lying on
the floor, face down, stone dead. A
great wound on the back of his head
showed that he had been killed, prob
ably instantly, by terrific blow from
some sort of blunt instrument. A
search of the rooms failed to show
any sort of a weapon.
The police theory was that the crime
was undoubtedly the work of bur-
glar who had been trapped by the re-
turn of Mr.. CASTOR so unexpectedly
to his apartment. How the murderer
escaped after attacking Mr.. CASTOR
was puzzle to the detectives at work
on the case. The superintendent OF
, the building expressed the opinion that
the murderer had gained access in the
:, guise of a meter inspector. Attend
ants in the hall recalled that there
: had been such a man in the building

started the work of restoring the tenn
pie to something of its former glory,
which was continued by the Dutch au-
thorities when they took back the
island at the close Of the Napoleonic
wars. Due to this restorative work,
the temple can be seen today much
as 1t was 1900 years ago.
It's out-of-the-way position and the
rather Indifferent service by train,
pony cart. and later auto-bus, are the
principal reasons why it is not being
visited by more travellers. In addition
to this, Il has not been extensively ad-
vertised like the pyramids. All this
now bids fair to be changed, for even
in the Malay archipeIago-the land Of
rest. tomorrow" and backwardness--
things are now going ahead with leaps
and bounds.
The most startling of all is the prof.
ect of an airplane service to handle
mall and passengers between different
points in the archipelago. The un-
dertaking is backed by Dutch capital
lists, the most conservative men in the
world, so It may be taken for granted
that 1t is thoroughly feasible or they
would not have considered 1t.
And with airplane service Boro-
Budur may come into its own. This
world wonder, so long unheard of and
neglected by the world at large, will
be visited by thousands Of globe trot-
ters avalling themselves of the air
plane service.
To tell fully of all the temples mar
vels and beauties would take book.
OF 1t Alfred Russell Wallace, the great
scientist, said: "The human labor and
skill expended on Boro-Budur is Sc
great that that expended on the
great pyramid sinks into insignlficance
beside it." The following brief de-
scription will convey to the reader
something of the magnificence and the
grandeur of this huge hill temple:

Although there is no remedy for the
Hessian fly when once it takes posses
sion of a crop of wheat. a great deal
can be done toward keeping the fly out
of the wheat.
Since the Hessian fly is the most de-
structive insect enemy of wheat in the
United States, control measures pay.
There have been at least seven general
outbreaks east of tie Mississippi river
in the past 81 years, and another is re-
garded as imminent by specialists of
the bureau of entomology. The aver
age annual damage to wheat through
out the United States from this insect
is estimated at S5OOOO,0O0.
How to Stop Losses.
The means of preventing loss, as
summarized by the department, are
these:
Practice crop rotation. Do not sow
wheat on stubble if it is possible to
avoid doing so.
Plow under all infested stubble,
| where practicable, soon after harvest.
Pl0w ruined wheat as soon as possible
| after it has been determined that the
crop will be a failure.
| Destroy all volunteer wheat by har-
rowing, disking, plowing, or some other
method
as early and deeply as existing condi-
tions permit, and prepare thoroughly
pulverized> and compacted seed bed.
/ Conserve moisture against a period
Of drought at seeding time.
Use good seed.
Fertilize.
| Sow wheat during the fy-free period
as advised by your farm adviser OF
state experiment station.
Adhere to these practices every yeal

They will help to keep it scarce.

to damage the wheat for several mile
