C0NQUER|AG THE HEsslAA Fly

heavy. Kelly had been at work eight
years, seeking the new methods, when
the disaster Of 1916 occurred. He
was discouraged. Apparently he was
no nearer q solution than when he
began in 1908.
81 knew some fields in the fly dis
tricts didn't have hies," he said, "but
I didn't know why"
Such were conditions when Kelly
stood n day In 1916 on the farm of
Ed Laney in Sumner County, Kan
sas. The sun blazed down and the
stubble seemed to give of heat like
a furnace. A 'hunch'' came to Kelly
that deep blowing would eliminate
the Hessian fly.
Bury the stubble so deep the fly
can't get out" was the inspiration.
Kelly took a mental journey back
to the fiy-free fields he had visited
and studied. He could not remem-
Der any but those that had been
plowed deeply.
Laney consented to plant part of
his field in experiment plots as Kelly
suggested.
Part of the field was disked deep
ly, part lightly and part was not
disked. Some vas plowed deep. some
shallow. Boxes three feet wide and
six feet long were placed open side
down in each plot. In the walls were
placed glass tubes, extending out
ward. Similar experiments were
made on other farms. And Kansas
farmers were urged to pillow their
wheat land deep.
At last the boxes were inspected.
Where the blowing had been less
than four inches deep and where bits
Of stubble were on the surface, flies
we're plentiful. They had come out
Of their hiding places just under the
soil In the stubble and gone into the
glass tubes, leading toward the light,
seeking liberty.
The boxes on land plowed five inch
es deep showed only a few flies.
Where the blowing was six inches
deep there were no flies.
II knew, then, l had the secret"
Kelly said. But l vas determined
to guard against a fiuke, SO l preach
ed deep blowing and continued exper-
iments without making any announce
ment."
The Spring of 1917 came and with
II the war. Because II was war time
farmers gave more attention than
usual TO crop suggestions. Meeting
after meeting was held. at which
speakers told farmers deep blowing
would eliminate the toll Of the pest
that came from Germany. Groups of
men were taken to demonstration
fields and shown the fly and its work.
The farmers were taught to pick out
the infested plants. There was some
fly damage that year and attention
was directed to 1t on every occasion.
I'm 1918, with the greatest wheat
acreage in her history" Kelly said,
Kansas was ripe for heavy losses
due to the fly. Yet the crop harvest
ed that year virtually was free from
fly damage"
The plea for deep blowing was con
tinued in the succeeding months and
the 1919 crop, too. virtually, was
free from fly damage. In 1920, when
there was damage in other States,
Kansas again escaped loss.
Adding reports this rear to that
good record. Kelly decided his theory
had stood the test. An announce
ment was made at the college that
the Hessian fly had been eliminated
as a crop factor in Kansas.
Kelly has left the Department of
Agriculture and devotes his entire
time to Kansas agriculture extension
work.-Dearborn Independent.

HANDLE RUSH
COAL DEMANDS
FUEL DIRECTOR SURROUNDS
HIMSELF WITH CAPABLE
STAFF-PRODUCT IN
CREASES.

Washington, d. c.. August l.
The government machinery for the
emergency distribution of coal
swung into gear as the central COM
mittee here with Henry B. Spencer,
federal fuel distributor las admins
trative head, began active function
ing under the program devised to
supply coal to the industries and To-
calities where it is most needed and
to maintain fair price levels at the
mines. An adequate staff has been
organized to handle the rush of re-
ports and others expected to flow
through Washington.
Accepting only the responsibility
of keeping the railroads and inter
state public utilities supplied with
coal and directing proper distri-
button as between states at the
same time through car ALLEGATIONS
holding mine prices at fair level
the federal agency looked to the va
rious states to control distribution
and prices for consumers within
their UOIu6IS. LII many SldlSO ClSd
tion of the necessary administration
| for this already has been reported tt
the central committee.
AS the distribution program Wen
into effect, slow recovery in produc
| tion was shown in reports of the geo
logical survey for the week endin'
Saturday, the estimated total beini
100000 tons as compared with 3,
100000 for the week previous. Pro
duction of anthracite was said to re
main at practically zero" Statinl
there was mo indication of increas
ed production in response to the in

port said more coal was coming on
of the former nonunion fields o
Pennsylvania with slight increase
i'm several other districts.

Boy at Veblen

Voblen, Aug. An injury sus-
tanned on the evening of July

stiffness in his limb. He was rush.

life apparently were hopeless from
the start.
Lockjaw developed and now has
caused his death. He had finished
the eighth grade i'm the local schools
and would have entered the higl
school this fall.

Rancher Gets
Damage Award

Rapid City, Aug. In the cir
cult court here w. G. Wintrode, a
rancher living near Box Elder
creek, was awarded damages of
$3.50 against the Northwestern rail-
way company for damage caused by
fire which swept 40 acres OF the
meadow land on the ranch.
The fire was alleged o-have been
started by sparks from one of the
railway company's locomotives. IL
was charged that the fire also con-
sumed Is tons of hay belonging to
Wintrode.
An unusual feature of the case
was that the railway company cor
tended that oil burning engines
could not set such fires, but train
men who were called to the wit
ness stand by the plaintiff admitted
that such an occurrence was posi-
Bile, although it was rarely that fires
were set by locomotives which burn
ed oil instead of coal.
