Turning Under Stubble Retarsls
HeSsian Flies


Little damage evidently has been
done TO Kentucky wheat during the
past season by the Hessian fly, no
cases of serious injury having been
reported TO the Kentucky Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, according
to Harrison Garman, the station
entomologist. However, this is no
assurance that the fly will not dam
age grain sown this fall, he said,
and it is being suggested that farm
ers pillow their wheat stubble land
as a first precaution.
"All land which contains fly in
tested stubble should be plowed to
a depth Of five or six inches in July
or August so that the fragile flies
cannot get to the surface. II the
stubble is badly infested the safest
way to get rid of the flies is to burn
off the field. Flies from the stubble
emerge in September and place their
eggs on any volunteer or other
wheat In the vicinity. Late plant
ing and the use of fields that are
known to be free from the flies are
precautions that can be used later
in the season.
The fiaxseed stage OF the flies,
which appears as smooth, shining,
red-brown, seed-like object is left in
the stubble when the wheat is cut.
1t remains in this condition until
the latter part of July when some
adults come out, most OF them, how
ever, remaining idle until August
and September when they emerge
in some numbers about the time the
new crop of wheat comes up. The
eggs soon are placed on the upper
side OF the wheat blades after which
the flies die. The minute grubs
which hatch creep down the blades
to where these join the stems and
crowd i'm behind them next the
stems. They rasp the delicate it's
sues of the plant until these are
weakened and in many cases kill
both the stems and the blade.
THE insects are known to pass
the winter in the flaxseed stage and
to produce a spring brood which be-
comes the flaxseed stage before
wheat is harvested. This spring
brood is difficult TO destroy when IN
an active state, hence deep summer
blowing and late fall sowing con
stitute the chief means of the farm
er In controlling the fy."

Kentucky Produces Good Seed Pota-
foes

toes
Kentuckys second crop OF pota-
toes, which usually is planted from
the middle to the latter part OF Jul
ly, produces seed spuds equal In ev-
cry way to those which can be OBJ
tanned from other sources, according
to A. ]. olney, potato specialist of
the College of Agriculture. On the
other hand, Il seldom is practicable
to hold tubers from the first crop
for seed. Use of a seed plot and 4
few special practices has been found
to be a good method of producing
vigorous foundation stock for flu
ture crops, he added.
the object of such seed plot is
TO produce and maintain high
yielding variety of potatoes. The
principal cause of dVrioration or
running out" OF varieties is
disease known as mosaic or curly
dwarf, which causes the young
plants to appear dwarfed, the leaves
TO curl downward and be much
twisted and 70 have an uneven yell
low and green color. Such plants
produce small worthless tubers. II
plants are attacked later, the new
leaves may show the mosaic or ir-
regular green color but the plants
may produce fairly normal tubers.
The disease is carried from year to
year in potatoes produced from
diseased plants. II is spread from
plant to plant by aphids or plant
lice and the apple leaf hopper.
Strains of potatoes badly affected
with the mosaic cannot give high
Yields and IL also is difficult TO OBJ
tain seed entirely free from it.
In eradicating the disease by
means OF the seed plot, the potatoes
are gone over as soon as they are
well above the ground and all
plants removed which are stunted
in any way or show signs of mosaic.
The plants are gone over about
twhe dgaia before fuwt ring time
and all badly diseased or mosaic
plants destroyed. The plot is gone
over again at Towering time and all
plants removed which show a diff
ferent flower color than that Of the
variety being grown, these being
mixtures.
After the plot has been gone
over for the last time, the plants
which appear especially strong and
vigorous are marked, the best tn
be-s In these hills being selected at
digging time as seed for the next
years seed plot and the remainder
kept for planting the early field
crop"

Many of the 500 Kentucky farm
boys and girls who attended the re-
cent second annual Junior Week"
held at the College of Agriculture at
Lexington experienced their first
real thrill in making the trip and
taking part In the festivities of the
week. Daviess county sent one girl

never ridden on a train previous to
their trip to Lexington. Another
girl from the same county had new

Daviess county farm boys and

them in washington. will follow

them in Washington. will follow
the advice OF President Harding
and try to learn the views OF their
constituents concerning the Ship
Subsidy bill II they do there will
be no Ship Subsidy bill passed by
this Congress, and no one will be
seriously disappointed except Chair
man Lasker, the Shipping Trust
and President Harding.
In order to aid the Republican
Congressman in learning the view
OF their constituents on the Ship
Subsidy bill we suggest that they
ask them the following questions:
l. Do you wish the Government
to turn over to the Shipping Trust
$1,000 900, 200 worth of ships, most
of them steel, and rs per cent Of
them oilburners, the best on the
ocean, for $500, 900, 600?
2. Do you wish the Government
to lend purchasers of these ships,
after sustaining a government loss
of $4,000. 900. 900, s125,ooo, 600 at
per cent. to recondition these
ships or to build others?
g.. Do you wish the Government
to pay bonus or subsidy to the
Shipping Trust of $3.50, 900, 900 in
the next ten years to guarantee the
new owners against loss in opera
ton, and to pay the money on the
conditions which will enable them
to pay for the ships out of the sub
sidy, and thus practically get them
for nothing?
4. Do you wish to see the army
and navy transport services abolish
ed and the function of carrying
troops and munitions, even in time
of war, turned over to the Shipping
Trust?
s. Do you wish subsidies to be
paid under this bill to the Standard
Oil Company, the United States
Steel Corporation and other large
concerns which own and operate
their own ships, transporting their
own products and which are not
required to operate as common car
riers?
6. Do you wish the passage of
this bill which does not require the
Shipping Board to make any re-
port or accounting to the Presi-
dent, the Congress or anybody else
at any time?
Z. Do you wish the owners of
these ships to be exempt from the
payment of all Federal taxes pro-
viding the amount is set aside for
investment in new ship construction
at time when there are many
more ships than necessary to carry
the amount of commerce?
o. DO you WISH tuis piii Paosou
in the interest of the Shipping Trust
which profiteered upon the Govern
ment and the people during the
war, and now gives no guarantee
under this bill of any cheaper ocean
freight rates--a bill which does not
even pretend to provide for any
regulation of such rates?
These are but the principal ques-
tions Congressman may ask their
constituents. There are many more
they can ask If any of them have
taken the trouble to read the bill.
The alternative question is,
Would you not rather turn over to
Democratic Congress the task Of
providing an honest and efficient
shipping act, designed for the up
building of a permanent merchant
marine instead Of an act to destroy
the one we now have?

Bay this Cigarette and Save Money

(Rep. Mich.), Chairman of the
House Ways and Means Committee,
and the defeat of Senator Porter j.
Mc0umber (Rep. N. d., Chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee,
relegates the joint authors Of the
Profiteers' Tariff bill now pending
in the House, and commonly known
as "Fordney's Folly" to private
life, where they both belong. 1t
would have been some satisfaction,
perhaps, to the average citizen to
have had the opportunity to cast
vote against either of them as a
reputation of their infamous bill,
but the same results can be had by
voting against any Republican Con-
gressional candidate because the
reelection of a Republican Congress
means a continuation of the same
policy which Fordney and McCum-
Der strove to carry out. The way
to repudiate the reactionism Of
Fordney and McCumber is for the
voters to repudiate Republican
candidates in all districts and states.
The boast of Senator Mccormick
(Rep. Ill, that the administration
has cut down income taxes would
have been more effective in the in
terest of truth if he had stated that
the reduction had been on the in
comes from the multi-millionaire
profiteering class. The whole truth,
however, is in the fact that not only
were the income taxes of this class
reduced, but also in the manner in
which income tax reduction was ac-
complished. This was done by the
simple process in hundreds Of thous-
ands of cases by reducing incomes
and in many cases by abolishing
them altogether.
1t may be doubted IL President
Harding feels fiattered when his
own press tells him that he is more
popular than Congress. A person
could have a very unenviable reputa-
ton and be very much more popular
than the sitting reactionary Repub-
lican Congress which is denounced
by leading Republican newspapers
as "the forst Congress in twenty
years"
Senator McCumber's defeat for
reelection in the North Dakota Re-
publican primaries was foreseen and
discounted by the Democrats.
Whether the Republican Senatorial
nominee in North Dakota were Nc
Cumber or Frazier 1t simply means
a Democratic Senator from that
state. The main interest in Nc
Cumber's defeat is in the accom-
panying reputation of the Harding
administration and the Profiteers'
tariff bill

Weather Bureau Helps Bankers

Evidence Of the connection be-
tween banking and weather was af-
forded recently when a Federal Re
serve Bank in middle western city
sent to the Weather Bureau, of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture for Genealogical reports
on certain sections in another State.
The bank is interested in the effect
of local weather on crops. II can
afford to lend money II the rainfall
is satisfactory and other conditions
make the prospects bright for a
good yield. A dry season means
poor returns. and an unsafe risk for
the bank. One OF the jobs OF the
Weather Bureau is to furnish accu-
rate information of this kind.
