ten the names OF the owners of hun
dreds of dogs, but the impression he
found to prevail that owners were not
required to report their dogs. This
mistake he wants corrected.
The dog tax last year proved not
only an insurance against losses to
sheep owners because of the ravages
Of the CANNES, but it added very
substantial sum to the school reve-
nues of the county. More than $4,000
surplus of this fund went into the
common school fund.
In addition to his work on the dog
taxes Assessor Williams is rapidly
finishing his work on the real and
personal assessments. He will have
all of the assessments finished ana
the books ready to turn over to the
county board Of equalization on the
first Monday o. June SO that the board
can have full time for it's labors.

4 WASHINGTON, April tG The fo'-
lowing is a summary of the advice
given farmers for the prevention OF
Hessian fly in wheat by the United
States department of agriculture:
There Is no remedy for the Hessian
fly when once it takes possession of a
crop of wheat
Injury can be prevented in only one
way, namely, b. keeping the fly out
Of the wheat.
The following. methods are reliable
and should be observed where it is
possible to do Sc:
!. Practice crop rotation. Do not
sow wheat on stubble, if it is possible
to avoid doing so.
2. Plow under all infested stubble,
where practicable. soon after harvest.
Plow ruined wheat as soon as possible
after it has been determined that the
crop will be = failure
g. Destroy all volunteer wheat by
narrowing, dscing, blowing, or some
other method
a. Plow all land to be sown to
wheat as early and deeply as existing
conditions permit, and prepare thor
oughly pulverized and compacted seed
bed.
5. Conserve moisture against pc
riod of drought at seeding time.
6. Use good seed.
Z. Fertilize
8. Sow wheat during the fly free
period as advised by your warm ad-
vscr or state Experiment station.
Adhere to these practices every
year whether the fly is abundant or
scarce They will help to keep it
scarce
Community cooperation is essential
If success is TO he attained because
one infested field may furnish enough
flies to damage the wheat for several
miles around
