FLY and Wheat-Insert Shows
Adult Female, Greatly Enlarged.

If ii has stunted plants upon which
small brown seedlike bodies are at
tached TO the stalks, the fly is prob
ably present in the pupal or "fax
seed stage. These brown seedlike
bodies can be found below the surface
of the ground between the leaf sheath
and the stem of the plant. Within a
few weeks small gnatlike flies hatch
out, laying a second crop of eggs which
result in the spring brood of flies.
The Hessian fly has four stages in
It's life. The egg, the maggot, the
pupal and the fly. 1t is the maggot, a
white, fiaky worm, about one-fifth of
an inch long, that does the damage.
If the plant survives the first attack
there is a chance of considerable dam
age resulting from the second crop,
which eat the stems and cause the
grain to lodge and lessons the grain
production.
Wheat that is badly infested with
the HeSSian fly ought to be plOwed I'M
der, as il will not amount to anything
as a crop and will only serve as a
hatchirg ground for further crops.
Often some parts of the yield only are
affected and the farmer may use his
judgment as TO turning under only a
part of the field.
Where volunteer seedlings of last
years crop are detected containing
HeSsian fly they should be plowed un-
der at once. If there are N suspi-
cious signs of the presence of the fly
in the fields the e%ntomologists urge
that samples be sent to the state en-
tomologist for examination.

BROWN co. GETS
$4,000 ROAD AID
THIS FUND TO BE EXPENDED
ON ROADS OTHER THAN
TRUNK LINES.
LARGEST AMOUNT FOR LOCAL
HIGHWAYS IN HISTORY
OF STATE,

Brown county's share of the largest;
road aid fund in state annals is $22,-
100000 it was announced this week.
The money is for the more important
roads in the county, other than So
called Babcock roads on which only
trunk highway funds can be used. r.
P. Chase, state auditor, Henry Rines,.
state treasurer, and Charles M. Bah
cock, state highway Commissioners,
make up the board which apportioned
the big fund.
Aid Greater Than Taxes.
Auditor Chase said the division
furnishes another striking example Of
the we'll known fact that the average
county receives more from the state
than it pays in direct taxes. The
county minim UNI is increased more
than 81 per cent over last year, he said,
without increase in taxes and the
counties receive hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars more aid for road im-
provements.
This is one of 83 out of the sc coun-
ties given allotments of $4,000 or
more, each receiving an, amount ex-
ceeding that which it paid under the
1-mill tax levy. The three other
counties-Hennepin, Ramsey and St.
Louis for the first time receive maxi
NUNS of $66, 900 each, but considerably
less than their respective 1-mill tax
totals. Ramsey county commission
ers transferred $4,000 to Dakota
county. Last year the three counties
listed got $4,000 each and many as
little as $16,578 each against $22, 200
minimum under the new apportion-
ment.

Thursday and Saturday and return the
alternating days.
At the present time they are hauling
goods for the New Ulm Grocery Co.,

net CAR SHORTAGE IS
LARGEST IN HISTORY

The Railway Age in it's current
issue calls attention to the fact that
as predicted by it two weeks ago the
car shortage has continued to in
crease.
" The net car shortage reported
on October Is, 1922" says the Rail
way Age, twas 152, 2,O34; and on Nov
cmber 1 it was ITS, 500, in spite OF
the fact that during the two immed-
lately proceeding weeks the railroads
moved more carloads of freight than
ever before in the corresponding two
weeks of any year in history. The
largest net car shortage ever reported
in any past year was $4,000.
"The sentiment which has been en-
gendered among the farmers by mis-
representations of the Transportation
Act and of the facts about the rail.
road situation was the principal cause
of the recent election from many
states, especially in the west, OF
numerous senators and congressman
