LABOR and INDUSTRIAL COURTS

Editor State Journal:
Primitive mankind settled their diff
ferences by use of force. No attempt
was made at giving Justice" for
might was right" But as man grew
in intelligence he saw the wasteful-
ness of this procedure and selected a
few of his number for a court, to
hear both sides of any controversy and
then try to make an impa1tiaI decision
as to what was fair and just.
And all law abiding citizens accept
and submit to these decisions But
organized labor seems to prefer the
court Of force to the court of reason.

capital TO have an endurance test to
settle their differences. A settlement

FLY is IN WHEAT.
X. S. A. C. Gives Pointers in
Kidding State of Pest.
Late Planting Is One Factor in
Removing the InfestatiOn.

Manhattan, Kan, July 11.-Investi-
cations by county agricultural agents
and entomologists from the State
Agricultural college show a general
widespread distribution of the Hessian
fly over a large portion of the Kansas
wheat belt Little loss to the 1922
wheat crop resulted from the ravageS
Of the pest, but with favorable wealth
er conditions this summer and fall
the fly may become established again.
The Hessian fly is now in the wheat
stubble. If the leaf sheath is stripped
from the weak stalks and those that
failed to produce a head. the little
brown "Flaxseeds'' may be seen. This
condition will prevail until the latter
part OF August, when the adult flies
will come from the "neXseed' to de-
post eggs on the first volunteer wheat
that comes up after a good rain. The
eggs will hatch in from three to SIX
days and the little white maggots may
then be found at the crown of the
wheat plant.
Two Sources of Infestation.
Adult flies will emerge all thru Sep
TENDER in northern Kansas and IN
early October in southern kansas
from the summer "flaxseed." Each
female will deposit from 100 to 500
eggs on wheat Plants-both volunteer
and early sown The little -fnaggots,
some OF which have turned into the
'..flaxseed,' stage can then be found
at or near the crown of the plant
In1eStat1On TINS Tall Will come from
two sources-the stubble of the 1877
crop and volunteer wheat
All infested wheat stubble should
be p1owed from five to six inches deer
as soon as the crop is removed A
special effort should be made to
thresh early OF to stack wheat that is
infested with Hessian fly SO that the
stubble may be plowed very early
Since the adults usually begin to
emerge from the "naxseed' by the
middle of August, the blowing should
be finished not later than that date.
Delay Planting Is Warning.
II blowing cannot be done after har-
vest, the stubble may be disced. This
conserves the moisture and may pull
the stubbIe out so as to expose the
''flaxseed' to weather conditions and
insect enemies. About three or foul
Weeks after discing. the ground should
be plowed to a depth of at least six
inches, to cover all stubble and Volun-
teer wheat So
The planting of the crop should be
delayed until near the fly-free date,
which ranges all the way from Sep
TENDER 90 in Decatur and Phillips
counties to as late as October 2, and
Is for Cowley and Chautauqua coun
ties. The fly-free dates have been
worked out for the entire wheat grow
ing area OF Kansas after careful ex-
perimentation covering a period of
thirteen years.
