feet that the Hessian fly has arrived
in that part OF the state and unless
steps are taken to eliminate It, the
matter will next year become SER
oius problem.
Regarding the situation, Mr.. De
Pue recently said: THE Hessian fly
has appeared in the wheat fields of
practically every section of Richland
county This is the first time that it
has ever appeared in Montana, and 1t
is perhaps the worst insect enemy of
wheat. often causing large damage In
the east and south.
"A survey OF the county recently
completed discloses the fact that the
greatest damage has been found in
winter wheat fields, although traces
of it have been found in almost every
spring wheat field visited. Damage
to the extent of 80 per cent has been
reported In few instances, but the
damage in most fields runs from /
to per cent, and while the total
amount of the damage this year will
be of small account. II is feared that
III they spread and develop next year
as they have the present season, the
loss will become very serious pro-
blem.'
Regarding control measures, Mr.
DePue continued: After the Hessian
fly makes its appearance on grain,
there is nothing that can be done
The only method of control is to try
and prevent them the next season.
The following steps should be taken:
Seed winter wheat late. The date
is not definitely known for Montana,
but it is thought that after September
/, would be a safe date.

tested this year as soon after harvest
as possible.
The fly lives over the winter in
winter wheat, volunteer wheat or old
stubble The larvae of the Hessian
fly does its damage by cutting off the
stalks Just above the ground. The
pupa of the fly can usually be found
on the base of the stalks that have
been cut off, and it looks like flax

BEAN GROWERS TO
SELECT BEST SEED

A T meeting OF rs bean growers
u and dealers held at Billings re-
a - Gently plans for bean crop i'm
provement through the selection of
seed from the best plants we're dis
cussed. A resolution was adopted
asking the Montana State College for
early experimental work with the
Great Northern bean for the purpose
of establishing better yielding and
more uniform type of the variety, and
the development of beans OF uni
form cooking quality.
The main purpose of the meeting
was to hasten every possible improve
ment of the variety by the efforts Of
individual growers and to broaden
the experimental work through the
help of the state college. Very little
has been done on bean improvement
anywhere and the action taken 9
year ago in making a start toward es

ed to give results In time Throughout

12- Row Wheat Near
I'LL arle mn lis Believe d
To Set Top Record

Eddie Brekke, one of the three
Brekke brothers who farm the H.
G. Anderson property two miles
west of Harlem, has discovered 10
row wheat in his field of pure
strain Marquis. He had never
paid much attention to his wheat
until after the reports of eight-row
wheat. He investigated to ascer-
tain whether or not he might find
some of this variety in his field.
He discovered that s-row heads
were quite common, and when he had
made selection Of the largest heads
of his field, he found that he had
10 and IL row heads.
A few days prior TO this dis
covery, 10-row heads had been re-
ported from the wheat section loeat-
ed between Medicine Lake and Dag
mar in Sheridan county, and this
was the first 10-row wheat discoy-
cred In Montana, and some reports
state that it is the first in the entire
wheat belt.
Samples of the new discovery at
Harlem have been sent to the extern
sion service department of the Mon
tana State College at Bozeman. The
wheat is of the Marquis variety, pro-
pagated from the pure strain sent
out by the agricultural College cat
Bozeman a few years ago, and has
been raised on this particular farm
for the past three or four years. 1t
was grown on ground that was
plowed last fall and irrigated early
this spring before the crop was sown.
There has been no irrigation since.

CORN MEN OF MONTANA MAY
SUFFER SEED SHORTAGE

A seed corn shortage is predicted
for Montana this year by o. J..
Ogard, state agronomist. The con-
dition of the crop resulting from
the late spring and the possibility
OF an early frost, and the fact that
all Montana corn is about three
weeks late, make a seed situation
that will require immediate action.
Farmers should get their seed
corn at the earliest possible mo-
ment," said MIR. Ogaard, land the
proper time TO pick is when the
dent corn begins TO dent and the
flint corn begins to glaze. Farm
ers do not realize what seed corn
shortage would mean, and our adj
vice to them is to get their supply
rs early as possible.
