HAPPY HOME IS
DEVASTATED
bYDEATH
Olive Quinn, Well and Happy
Last Night, Is Dead
at Dawn.

Strange visitors gathered this
morning in the shade-dimmed par.
lor of the little Quinn home at 1432
Potomac avenue southeast. There
was a. policeman and the coroner
and news reporters-all strange to
James A. Quinn and his three sturdy
sons, james, Russell and Frank, and
the family pastor, the Rev. w. M.
Lyon, of the First Brethren Church.
/ More strange still to the Quinns
was the scene upstairs. where the
mother of the household bent over
the body of the only daughter, Olive,
just seventeen, and truly the light
Of the home. Olive was dead-but
they could not understand. Neither
could the mother.
Olive, the ever-happy and neverill,
was in especially good spirits last
night. She tinkled popular songs
on the piano while the assembled
family smiled, capped off her little
concert with cup Of chocolate and
retired, calling cheerily:
I'll see you all In the morning"
But she awakened from her last
six hours sleep on earth. calling in
choked voice for her mother. And
while Mrs. Quinn and the father
frantically ministered to her, her
life was snuffed out like candle.
DIR. Chester Pyles. Of 80 Eighth
street southeast, came as fast as hi
Gould. but death had been quicker
He telephoned Coroner hewitt and
the mystery was solved q few hours
later when that official gave GER

And never IN her seventeen year,
had the girl complained of a single
ailment. said the Quinns, over and
over. To every home comes death

WHEAT PRICES CONSIDERED
Senator Capper: eve oppose unre-
stricted speculation in grain as HARM
full to the farmer, the miller, the dis
tributor and the consumer, said the
Millers' National Federation at it's
convention in June. The recent spec
tacular manipulation Of the market
which took something like "a cents a
bushel off the price of wheat, barely
preceded a report from the United
States Department of Commerce that
world wheat stocks would be lower
July 1 of this year than for several
years. The department reported that
larger demand than last year was
indicated by the upward trend of Eu-
ropean consumption with a prospect
for smaller crop and for consider
ably less wheat both from Argentina
and Australia. "Until next Febru-
ary", this report included, "interna-
tional trade will largely be dependent
on the surplus wheat Of North Amer
ica". Faced by such a situation, all
doubt about our needy farmers get
ting a very good price for the new
wheat crop should vanish.

Hessian Flies Do Damage in Ward,
Mckenzie and Williams Counties

Mckenzie and Williams Counties
Fargo, N. D.-Hessian fly damages
have been reported from Mckenzie,
Williams and Ward counties but on
the whole little damage is threatened
from this insect, according to r, J.
Webster, entomologist at the North
Dakota Agricultural College, who
says that deep fall blowing is the best
way to destroy them.
"In spring wheat country severe
damage by the Hessian fly is rare"
i; said. Mr.. Webster. "In winter
wheat region the insect may become
established in a field in the fall and
which may suffer heavy loss the fol-
lowing season when the spring brood
Of maggots feeds on the growing
plants"
The insect spends the winter in the
"faxseed" stage on wheat, barley and
rye stubble. From these "faxseeds"
emerge in spring the adult flies;
small, midget like insects, only about
one-tenth inch in length which deposit
) their tiny eggs on blades of growing
wheat. On Matching the maggots
work their way down to the stem.
Hessian fly maggots are found
within the sheath Of the wheat plant,
never inside the stem. The full
grown maggot is pale in color, about
one-fifth of an inch long. At the
place in the stem where the maggot
lies the stem will be indented. This
weakens the straw, causing lodging
following heavy wind.
Any fields where this insect be-
comes common should be disced and
plowed during the fall. In this way
all the insects that are on the stubble
are buried so deep in the ground that
the flies cannot emerge the following
spring and infest next years crop.
Deep blowing is necessary and the
stubble must actually be covered with
several inches of soil to prevent the
flies coming thru it.
Dry seasons seem to be unfavorable
to the development of the Hessian fly
in this part of the country. On the
other hand, an excess of moisture,
combined with warmth, especially in
early summer, favors the development
of the insect.
