Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 3.-Drought,
not rust, is the greatest enemy of
wheat in North Dakota. according to
figures gathered in the last. five years
on more than a hundred aarms Of the
state and made public today by Rex
Willard, farm economist of the North
Dakota agricultural college.
Drought takes "a total of twenty
nine ere out OF every hundred
planted to wheat in the state, accord.
ing to data. Black stem rust takes
another ten out of the hundred.
Here are the enemies Of wheat in
the order of their importance:
l. Deficient moistuAe, 20 per cent.
2. Black stem rust, 10 per cent.
8. Hot winds, Z per cent.
4. Grasshoppers and gophers, 3
S. Hail. 2 per cent.
All other causes, S per cent. j
That makes a total OF Infty-six acres
spoiled and the remaining forty-four
on which to raise wheat. @ .
y The figures are for 1921 inclus-
i've. Contrary to general belief, last
year was the best Of the five, Mr.,
Willard says. It was closely followed
by 1918 as a wheat producer, The
average Of 1921 was bolstered up by
excellent yields in some parts of the
state, while otherSportions were al

Saway Doing Some
Damage At Kenmare

Kenmare, N. D.. Aug. 3.-The
Sawfy. which did considerable dam
age to crops in Manitoba, Canada,
last year, has made its appearances
in Ward county in this vicinity. ac-
cording to reports reaching County
Agent John HUSKY. A few specimens
Of this insect were found in the
northern part of the county this year,
but they are reported to be more
numerous this year.
According to Mr.. HUSKY, a field of
grain where these insects are work.
ing much resembles a field after a
hail storm has damaged it. The
grain is cut off near the base of the
plant by the fy(. The larvae or egss
of the insect are deposited on the
inside of the stem of the plant, and
as the insects mature gradually eat
OF the stem.
The fly works mostly in Marquis
wheat, Mr.. HUSKY says. but may also
be found in rye fields. It does not
usually touch durum wheat. The
loss In Manitoba last year is said to
have been about so per cent in fields
where the fly was found.
