The exact extent to which the
Hessian fly probably will damage
wheat in Kentucky this fall cannot
be determined until the season is
more advanced and the presence of
the flies are observed on volunteer
wheat in different sections of the
State, according to Harrison Gar
man, entomologist at the Kentucky
Agricultural Experiment Station.
However, farmers are being warned
to sow their grain after "fy-free"
dates and to take other precautions
in the way of well-prepared seed
beds, the use of fertilizers and good
seed in order to reduce the annual
damage caused by wheat's worst in
sect pest. The fact that few re-
ports have been received on damage
done by the fly during the past year
is no indication that the States
wheat crop will be free from the raw
ages of the insect this year, he
pointed out.
"The conditions of Kentucky's
wheat crop has been improved ma
terially from year to year because
many farmers have adopted the
practice of sowing their seed after
the dates on which the flies have
However, the insect
will continue to present a serious
problem to the grain growers of the
State until every farmer adopts the
practice of sowing after the fy-free
dates. One farmer who sows before
these dates can harbor enough flies
in his grain to infest many acres
the following year. The Hessian
fly problem in Kentucky will be
largely solved when every farmer
waits until after the recommended
dates for his community before SOW
ing wheat"
Because of the life history of the
insect, wheat sown in September is
almost sure to be badly infested.
The adult flies become fewer in

largely destroyed. Wheat sown in
October in Kentucky is not likely to
be infested. In average seasons, Oc-

THE SMILING VOICE
New York Herald)

New York Herald)
An unexpected but very sensible
reply to the question of what he
liked most in America was given
lately by Japanese newspaper man
upon returning to his native land
after a visit to the United States.
Was it the huge buildings, the swift
trains, the evidence on every hand
of dynamic national energy that
won his highest admiration? Were
these the impressive things that
won his highest admiration? Were
these the impressive things that will
linger longest in his memory? Not
a bit of it.
Separately and collectively he
found much in their favor to say.
He admitted that they are fine. But
they are not the things which will
haunt his dreams of America. What
he remembers with most pleasure is
1.-The unbelievable sweet voice, the
constant sweet nature and the ex-
traordinary rsourcefulness of the
typical American woman telephone
operator"
There will be general agreement
that this japanese visitor has paid a
deserved tribute to group of
Americans whose laborers in an
often eXasperating and always nerve
straining occupation are performed
usually with courteous patience and
firm maintenance of pOise sometimes
unappreciated. He is entitled to a
floral tribute from the telephone
women in America. More than
that, he is entitled to the thanks of
all reasonable Americans for remind
ing them from afar of an advant-
age they perhaps are inclined to
overlook.
And more than that still, he has
not only bestowed praise where
praise was due, but discovered some
thing wholly new to say on a topic
worn to a FRAGILE by countless
strangers within our gates who have
been harried with questions about
it.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am a wo-
man in my twenties. I was married
very young and am the mother of
two beautiful children. lived with
my husband five years. In that
length of time he left my babies and
me five times destitute. He called
me vile names in the presence of
the children and never took the
least interest in our home or us
did everything, took blows and
abuse OF ell kinds to keep our home
| together.
Then L was in delicate condition.
l was taken to the hospital and not
expected to live. My doctor, who
was very young but married, took
great interest in my case. He
was simply wonderful to me and l
was sorry when l was taken home.
From that time on when my hus-
| band quarrelled / ignored him
When he heaped vile names on my
head l smiled to myself. never
forgot that doctor although ] knew
that what he did for my was through
pity.
MY husband quit work and l went
to work. One day while l was at
work he left, taking the children.
l could do nothing. l had no home
for them and l knew his people
would take good care of them. He
has wanted to come back to me
and l have refused. realized when
too late to turn back that the love
l harbored for another Woman's
husband had grown until it was
dangerous. Still l never threw my
self in his way. l left town. trying
to forget him, but parties, theatres.
dances only made me think the
more OF him.
/ have a chance to marry a young,
good-looking fellow, with plenty Of
money. five years my junior. I
will do my best to be everything a
wife should be. Don't you think
am justified in doing so, even
though I don't love him Or should
l always live alone and work for
myself. I shall never meet any one
else I am sure. Please tell me
what to do. BROADWAY ROSE.
Do not marry the young man
without love, no matter what ad-
vantages he offers you. Such a
marriage would not bring happi-
ness and it would not be fair to
him. Probably future OF nothing
but work looks pretty dark to you,
but I would advise you to face it
with brave heart and to turn away
from marriage unless you can enter
into it with heart full of love for
your husband.
l understand your love for the
doctor fully. 1t is very good love
and reminds me of the story of a
dying man. He had been very wick
ed and for years had professed
disbelief in God. At the end of mis-
life when he was suffering intense
ly a benefactor came to him and
gave him loving care and comfort.

have been SO good to me-"
Love the doctor by all means. be-
cause he deserves it. But make
your love for him sacred thing. 1t
need not fill your heart SO complete

time your affection for the doctor
will take its right proportion and
that a new and great love will en-
