How to Avoid Pesky
Hessian Fly Next Year

The Hessian fly, one of the oldest
and at times one of the most destruc.
tive enemies of the wheat crop in the
United States, is again on the in.
crease. Specialists of the United
States department of agriculture mako
the following suggestions for combat
ting the pest:
Practice crop rotation. Do not SOW
wheat on stubble if it is possible to
avoid doing SO.
Plow under all infected stubble and
ruined wheat, where practicable, soon
after harvest.
Destroy all volunteer wheat by har.
rowing, disking, blowing, or some
other method.
Pillow all land to be sown to wheat
as early and deeply as existing con
ditions will permit, and prepare q
thoroughly pulverized and compacted
seed bed
Conserve moisture against a period
of drought at seeding time
Use good seed.
FertiliZe.
Sow wheat during the fly-freed per

WEvlL THREATENS WHEAT.

GREENSBURG, Ind, July 12--
Wheat nudge, frequently called "red
weevil," is threatening the wheat crop
of this county, according to Joseph
Ireland, county agricultural agent
However. he says the crop will not
be seriously affected. Mr.. Ireland says
the insect attacks the young wheat
grain. sucks the juice from it and
causes it to shrivel, although damage
ceases when the kernel ripens. 1t
has been found in many places of the
state during the past few weeks and
threatens to become as dangerous to
the wheat crop as the Hessian fly
says Mr.. Ireland Wheat cutting is
about three-fourths done in this county
and thrashing is expected to start III
about ten days.

almost exactly the same total as for
the corresponding period last year, 1t
was announced by the department of
agriculture. Owing to the good de-
mand. the department said, prices on
almost everything except onions have
been high this season.
Potato prices are slowly working
downward, but still are twice as high
as year ago. Tomato shipments arc
heavier than last year at this time.
Peaches are still coming mostly from
Georgia and prices are slightly
greater than they were at this season
last year.

DIRECTORS HAVE TWO PLANS.

He said that the directors OF the
road had two plans In mind for the
aggregation of the coal properties. viz:
One contemplates transfer of the prop
critics to q new corporation In return
for It's stock, which stock would be
distributed to the stockholders OF tho
road; the alternative plan involved
part payment for the lands In bonds
OF the new corporation. which bonds
the railroad might retain In its treas
ury, but in no case would the said
road retain any voting securities OF
tho coal company. Mr.. Jenney's testi-
mony clearly indicated that the con-
templated distribution of the coal com
pany stock was 4 matter separate from
the declaration of a stock dividend,
based on the surplus which the com
pany is asking permission to make.
Mr.. Jenney appeared as . witness
for the railroad and was examined by
Attorney Seager. Asked the. direct
question how much of . stock divi-
dend the company wsnt d to Issue. he
replied that 1t wanted to capitalize
the whole OF the surplus OF approxi-
mately &90,500, 900. except for about
81, 900, 900 OF 1t which had been in
vested in the coal properties. That

COMPETITIVE BIDS
FOR RAIL ISSUES

The suggestion is made to Tho
Washington Times by a banker
that the Interstate Commerce
Commission adopt policy OF
having competitive bidding for
new railroad offerings of secur-
tiles instead Of the present
system under which the trans
portation company usually deals
with one Arm or group OF
bankers.
This banker states that rail-
road securities should be sold
to the highest bidder, as are
municipal issues. He adds that
this system would also enable
the commission to obtain an
idea of the yields which the
American investor desires for
the loan of his or her surplus
funds.
