Serious injury TO the winter wheat
crop of 1920 by the Hessian fly seems
extremely probable. Reports received
by the United States department of
agriculture chronological experts in
the Mississippi basin winter wheat re-
gion Indicate rapid increase of the
Hessian fly in that important wheat
growing district. These reports show
that considerable young wheat already
has been killed by the Hessian fly, and
that serious losses to the crop OF 1920
are almost certain.
Unless winter wheat growers east
of the Rocky mountains can be induced
to unite in a concerted movement to
observe the approved methods of com
batting the Hessian fly during the sum-
mer and fall of 1920, it seems that a
disastrous general outbreak of the
pest very probably will occur in 1921
A shortage of farm labor and unfa-
vOrable weather conditions at planting
time have combined to influence many
wheat growers in planting their grain
too early in the season. This has re-
suited in heavy infestation of Hes
sian fly in practically all of this early
planted wheat.
Damage Feared in East.
A dangerously heavy infestatiOn of
Hessian fly also exists in the Piedmont
plain wheat regions lying east Of the
Appalachian mountains and embra icing
Maryland, Virginia and eastern Penn
sylvania. Complaints of serious Hes
sian fly damage in that region have
already begun to be heard. and there
is at present every indication that
early-sown wheat in these states will
be considerably if net seriously re-
duced in yield this year
There is no remedy for the Hessian

Evidence that Miles Standish was
a ManXman and born into the ManX
family of Standish of Ellanbane. has
been discovered by the secretary Of
the Isle of Man Antiquarian society.
The family of Standish probably came

Why We'll Vote
For Republicans
Republican Principles Vital

Teachers of Republicanism should
never lose sight of the fac that adj
herence to the principles of the Re-
publican party has made the United
States what Ii is. Whatever has not
been achieved under the direction of
the Republican party itself. has been
accomplished by some other party
while pursuing the principles which
the Republican party espoused at its
birth-they did not originate with
he Republican party-and to which
it has consistently adhered with only
an occasional lapse.
True Principles OF Government
1t Is not by accident that u
blessed nation has always prospered,
grown and developed under certain
policies, and languished under others.
Correct principles of government al
ways-not sometimes o~nly-always
bring success Truth is eternal. True
principles of government, like true
principles of agriculture. are as UNI
changeable as principles of science.
They are principles of science. Oh
yes! hail, early frost, grasshoppers.
bugs, worms and cyclones will de-
stroy an occasional crop. but in the
swing of years wise farming will
justify M expenditure of human eff
fort, and wise governmental policies
will Just as certainly bring prosper
ity and happiness. OF course, we
change and improve our agricultural
implements, and modify u methods
to meet advanced conditions, but I'M
less in their application we adhere to
correct agricultural principles that
never have changed. and eve can
change. utter failure will ensue.

WHY NOT
NOW2

Democratic nominee Franklin D.
Roosevelt promises that If the Demo-
Gratis win this election they will be-
gin Immediate action" to reduce the
cost Of living. That was what they
promised eight years ago in the cam
paign of 1912. They have been In
power ever since. They are In power
now. If there is any Immediate ac-
ton" possible, other than what the
party has already taken. there is no
need to wait until after election. But
the efforts of the Democratic admin
~istration have been in the direction
of higher, rather than lower costs of
living. By waste Of public funds. the
Democratic leaders made higher taxes
necessary. thus adding to the cost Of
producing every commodity.
