PESTS DAMAGE
STATE WHEAT
Sawfies Injure Crops in
Pierce and Divide Counties

Fargo. N. D.. Aug. 24.-Wheat
stem sawflys have been working in
Pierce and Divide counties of this
state according to reports received
by Dr.. r. l.. Webster, cntomologist
at the North Dakota Agricultural
college. While the damage has not
been excessive results of the sawfly's
work are shown in the wheat fields
where the stems have been cut loose
to the ground by this western pest.
Wheat fields infested by the saw
fly frequently have the appearance
of having been damaged by hail. The
maggots feed within the stems, caus-
ing these to weaken and fall in a
high wind.
Sawfly maggots work entirely with
in the stems, boring their way
through the points during July and
moving down toward the base of the
stem early in August. Then the
grub or larva constructs a silken
cocoon, and lives in the stubble until
the next year, when the sawfly emer-
ges from the cocoon in June and
the female insects deposit their eggs
in wheat and other small grains.
Spring wheat suffers most from
this insect, spring rye is next while
durum wheat is somewhat less in
jured," DR.. Webster says. "Growing
resistant crops, such as oats, winter
rye and barley, helps control the in
sect. Flax and the clovers are not
attacked.
deep plowing of stubble infested
by the wheat-stem sawfly is recon-
mended as a prevention. All the
stubble must be actually turned un-
der, so the insects are completely
buried in the ground"
The practice of "stubbling in"
spring wheat favors the development
of the wheat sawfly. Unless some
means are taken to dispose of in
tested stubblc the sawflies will
emerge in due time and deposit their
eggs on the young wheat in the same
field, frequently causing severe dam
age.

CARNATIONS USED AS BAIT
FOR RATS IN LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles, Aug. 24.-(P)-The
fragrant garden variety Of carna-
tions, used as bait, has proved far
more irresistible than cheese to the
rat population of the Hall Of Records
and Court House buildings here.
Discovery was made recently by
L. c. Robinson, chief janitor of the
two buildings, after several weeks Of
investigation. that rats have liking
for carnations. Through the use of
the flowers as bait in traps large
numbers of the rodents, which grad
ually were reducing hundreds of law
and record books to sad state Of
dilapidation, were exterminated.

There have been rumors clrculat- ed about town that there is trouble in the ranks of the Rangers football players, but this Is denied by the players and the manager.

The Rangers have had little tits among themselves but never has anything serious cropped out and this is no exception.

Tomorrow's game between the All-New Britain and Mulligan's Blues should be one of those things you read about. Two powerful clevens composed of the pick of football stars in this section of the country, will line up 10 face each other and battle to carry the pigskin over each others goal line.
 The contest will be not only a battle for gridiron supremacy but it will tell In great measure what team is to have the title of state champions for 1925. Mulligans Blues, formerly the Waterbury Blues won the title last year and the Wat erbury sports promoter has assem- bled together more powerful ma chine this year.
 In this city at least, if nowhere else. New Britain is given an equal chance with the Hartford crew. The locals ht their stride last Sunday and 1t is expected that the individual players will keep up the brand of play they exhibited last year.
 Thousands Of fans from this city will turn out to see the game and the roads between here and Clarkin field will be jammed with automo- piles carrying football crazy fans to the Hartford East ern league baseball park.
