Just how close second they will final

came, the date of their Introduction

which each represents Of the total

returned schedules have been studied
and about a thousand letters Of In

1t may be, for the prices now secured
by the farmer for milk and butter and
the by-products, such as cheese, make
It well worth while to conduct this part
of the farm activities In an economical,
efficient and extensive manner.
The first requisite for the economi-
cal conduct of the dairy business is a
weather-tight, modernly equipped barn.
Cows spend more than half the year
indoors, and It is during the time they
are In the stable that the best prices
are secured for their products. The
greater the production at this time, the
greater profits the herd will show at
the end Of the year.
Illustrated in connection with this ar
ticle is one type of the modern dairy
barn. This is a plank frame structure,
30 by GO feet, with the cow stable In
the basement. The grade entrance
leads to the first floor, which Is used
for the storage of farm vehicles and
machinery, and above Is the NOW for
the storage of hay and other forage.
This barn is constructed so that II
will be weather-tlght The cows will
be~kept warm and comfortable during
the coolest Of weather, and. at the
same time, will be supplied with plenty
Of fresh air, and the stable will be
clean and sanitary. Three suction ven
tilators are located on the roof of the
barn. These ventilators are connected

ment of Agriculture)
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. 1t seems that
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 a heavy infestation of Hes
sian fly In practically all Of this early
planted wheat.
Damage Feared In East.
A dangerously heavy infestation OF
Hesslan fly also exists In the Piedmont
plain wheat regions lying east Of the
Appalachian mountains and embracing
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 IL not seriously re-
duced in yield this year.
There Is no remedy for the Hessian

so as to avoid complete loss of profit
from the land during the current year
How to Fight the Fly.
The methods for combating the Hes.
sian fly are, In brief, as follows:
l. Practice crop rotation. Do not
sow wheat on stubble If 1t is possible
to avoid doing so.
2. Pillow under all infested stubble,
where possible. soon after harvest.
3. Destroy all volunteer wheat by
narrowing. disking, blowing or some
other method.
A. Pillow all land to be sown to wheat
as early and deeply as existing condl-
tons permit, and prepare a thoroughly
pulverized and compacted seeded.
8. Conserve moisture against a pc
Rod Of drought at seeding time.
9. Use good seed.
7. FertillZe.
8. Sow wheat during the fly-free pc
riod as advised by your farm advisor
or state experiment station.
Adhere to these practices every year
whether the fly is abundant or scarce.
They will help to keep 1t scarce.
Community cooperation is essential
II success Is to be attained, because
one infested field may furnish enough
flies to damage the wheat for several
miles around.

Labor has been and will continue to
be large item of farm expense.
Wages are high and men hard to get.
But in the modern dairy barn a great
deal of labor is saved by Its equipment.
The floor Of this barn is Of concrete,
with cutters at the rear of the stalls.
These cutters collect the manure. from
which II is forked to the carrier that
runs on the overhead track, shown on
the plan by dot-and-dash lines. The
carrier is great barn labor-saver. It
not only removes the litter to the ma
nure pile or shed at the back of the
barn, but conveys the feed and forage
TO the stalls. After the litter is. re-
moved the cutters are flushed and the
barn is as clean as most cellars.
Plenty Of windows to admit sunshine
are also shown In this plan. Sunshine
Is valuable In the dairy stable, not only
for Its warmth but also for Its
germ-kllling quality. The windows al
