Winter wheat growers in Stearns
county should be concerned about
the presence Of Messiah flies in
the territory, accoring to the coun-
ty agents office at st. Cloud. Or
dinarily Hessian fly infestation
comes only to the more pronounced
winter wheat producing areas in
the southwestern United States,
and generally Hessian flies do not
get farther north than southern
Iowa. For the past several years
Stearns county winter wheat grow
ers have perhaps been OVERRIDING
the practice Of planting winter
wheat early; so much so that many
winter wheat growers have their
wheat planted by the middle of
August.
Recently infested specimens of
wheat were picked up by the coun-
ty agents office and sent to A.
G. Ruggles, state entomologist at
University Farm. These specimens
were picked up in the vicinity of
Gutenberg and showed positive
evidence of the work that was
done by the larva of the fly.
Suggested control measures con-
sist of later paintings of winter
wheat. The safe fly-free date in
this section of Minnesota is about
September Is. Many wheat grow
ers however, will feel that this
planting date is too late. Under
those circumstances it is probably
best for the growers to put in their
wheat in time and take the chance
as to what damage the Hessian
fly larva might do next year.
Many farmers are wondering
whether increases in livestock
numbers are justified at this time
with the demands as created by
the government purchases for de-
Tense, according to the county
agents office. With increased meat
production expected for next year
as farmers respond to higher hog
| prices and favorable hog-corn
ratios, Minnesota hog and cattle
men are cautioned against extern
sive additional investments in
foundation herds and equipment.
Farmers will serve the best inter-
ests of the nation and themselves
by producing at top capacity with
present breeding herds and live
stock. While meat prices most
likely will continue favorable as
long as industrial activity stays at
its present high level, the added
investments from longtime point
of view do not appear justified.
The year 1910 was a banner year
for the consumption of pork and
lard in the United States. The av-
erage person consumed about 70
pounds of pork, more than any
previous year since 1924. The per
capita consumption of lard was two
pounds greater than in 1899, or AT
pounds, the highest on record. Meat
production thus far this year is
about on par with 1910, but may
decline due to smaller marketings
of hogs. In view of the favorable
hog situation, narrowing of pigs
this fall and in the spring of 1912
will probably be larger than in the
year previous. Prices of meat ami
mails will continue favorable So long
as industrial activity continues at
it's present level.

and other dairymen will have an
