Old Bridges Will
Pr0Uide War Scrap

If you have any old bridges
around the place, they can do their
bit toward the war effort, it was an
nounced the first of the week.
Governor Bricker has ordered the
Ohio Department of Highways to
make an intensive search throughout
the state for abandoned, obsolete and
easily replaced bridges to provide
additional scrap material for war
production.
Hal G.. Sours, director of the high
way department, notified all division
engineers of the department to make
the search Immediately, and report
back to him at once.
The Governor told Didector Sours
he believed that many old steel
bridges on township and county
roads might be mound and that they
might, after the War Production
Board had negotiated for them with
their owners, be converted into scrap
Some of these structures, Governor
Bricker said, could be replaced by
timber structures by the counties af-
fected. Bridges on abandoned roads
| may also be found, he said.
Upon location of such structures
Director Sours is to be notified, and
he in turn will contact the WPB sc
that immediate negotiation for the
old bridge may be launched.

Deadline For Fly Free Date In Wheat
Sowing In Bluffton Area Is Sept. 26

Corn cutting operations on the
farms of the district started this
week as farmers sought to have
their fields ready for the planting of
wheat on or after the fly free date,
which in Allen county this year is
on September 26.
Some farmers have already started
to fill silos in an effort to have the
corn harvest out of the way in or
der to begin the fall wheat seeding
by the latter part of September.
Most farmers use the corn-wheat ro-
tation of crops for production eff
cheney.
James H. Warner, Allen county
agricultural agent, indicated that the
sowing deadline of Sept. rs would be
vital to obtaining the highest yield
of wheat in order to defeat the Hes
sian fly, the greatest destroyer of
grain.
A survey made in wheat fields of
the county during the summer by
the State Department of Agriculture
revealed that the infestation in the
county was 1850. This represents
a serious increase for the area over
last year. Whenever Hessian Fly
increases so rapidly we are quite

To most people Saturday was just
another day but to the Jewish people
it represented the start of new
year and Hebrews the world over
observed New Years Day with spe-
cial ceremonies and customs.
On Saturday, September IL, was
the start of Jewish year No. 5703.
1t was solemnly welcomed in by re-
ligious ceremonies and feasts pc
culiar to the Jewish custom.
Date of celebrating the Jewish
New Year varies from year to year.
Sometimes it is held in October and
other years in November. 1t is held
in the fall of the year because that
is the season for beginning the agri-
cultural year.

cording to the tradition of their
race, eat a festival meal of frui,

Those who strictly observe the

Very few Jews celebrate their

known.

600 less than the July sales but
about $4,000 more than the. June

Last Sunday marked the 126th an
niversary of the writing OF "The
Star-Spangled Banner, the historic
verses of which were jotted down on
the back of an envelope by Francis
Scott Key, after he had watched the
futile all-night bombing of Fort
McHenry by the British in an at
tempt to capture Baltimore.
A lawyer whose hobby was writing
poetry, Key set down the verses at
dawn on the deck of the British
cartel ship Minden, on which he was
held as technical prisoner because
he had gone to rescue friend in
danger.
Keys friend, DR.. William Beanes,
a Marlborough, Va, patriot, had been
taken prisoner aboard the frigate
Surprise. When he heard of the
capture of Beanes, Key secured the
Minden and the aid of John S. Skin
ner, agent for exchange of prisoners
by appeal to President Madison.
Release of DR.. Beanes was effected
but officers of the British fleet, fear
ing the Americans would impair
news of the impending naval bonn
bardment of Ft. McHenry, kept tn,
craft guarded during the fatefu
night of September 13, 1914.
When the dawn broke and Ke,

sure of a heavy infestation ahead
and farmers should delay sowing un-
til after the September 26 date.
1t is quite likely that the combine
method of harvesting wheat so wide
ly in use results in an increase of
volunteer wheat which in turn con-
tributes to the increase of infesta-
ton.
According to agronomists, sowing
Immediately after these dates gives
the highest yields of wheat regard
less of Hessian fly, when good cul-
tural practices are followed.
Some farmers who have had little
experience with the Hessian fly COM
plain that though they waited for
the safe-seeding date, their wheat
was fly infested at harvest time.
This condition comes about because
there is spring brood of Hessian
fly, as well as the fall brood. Wheat
sown too early in the fall and vol
unteer wheat in old stubble fields re-
ceive eggs of the fall brood. That
sown after the safe date receives
very few or none.
In May, adult flies come from the
volunteer and early sown wheat
These adults are carried by the
wind, and they deposit eggs in al
wheat fields, regardless of wher
sown. In this way, the late sowr
wheat becomes infested, and a brood
of larvae feeds on the green stems
| during the time the plant is coming
into head and maturing, making a
cavity in the straw which often
causes it to lodge.
Although wheat is the Hessian
fiy's chief food plant, barley is also
infested. Early sown winter barley
may acquire a mild infestation in
the fall, and from this, spring
brood of adults may emerge to at.
tack wheat Winter barley is suf.
ficiently resistant to fly that it rarely
becomes seriously damaged. In,
spections in July have shown winter
barley to carry about one-third al
much fly as wheat growing in the
same county, sufficient to make il
inadvisable to sow barley before tht
fy-free dates in years like 1912. Ii
years of low Hessian fly population
early sowing of barley may be /;
sound practice, as agronomists sa,
that barley often yields better whel
sown early.
Rye rarely becomes infested an,
can safely be sown early if desired
