L ate P la n tin g on Fly Free D ata Haa
Proved Successful.
That the Hessian fly can be success
fully controlled by practical methods
has been demonstrated In Harvey coun
ty, Kan. Under the leadership of F.
P. Lane, county agent for the Harvey
comity farm bureau, a large number
of farmers were organized last sum
mer and fall to fight the fly.
Methods of control advocated by Mr
Lane were those devised and recom
mended by the department of entomol.
ogy In the Kansas State Agricultural
college—to thoroughly prepare the seed
bed, destroy the volunteer wheat and
plant on or about the fly free date,
which In Ilnrvey county Is Oct. 8 or 9.
A large per cent of the wheat acreage
of the county was planted according
to these directions, although the wenth
er conditions hindered the work consld
erably.
A representative of the college de
partment of entomology visited a man
her of Wheatfields In the county before
harvesting began. In nearly every
case where the crop was planted ac
cording to the methods advocated there
was practically no fly Injury. A few
fields that were planted before the fly
free date or In which no efTort was
made to destroy the volunteer wheat
were all badly Infested and the yield
reduced. In some cases where late
sown fields adjoined stubble fields or
early sown fields considerable Injury
was noted, showing the necessity of
co-operation In the control of the fly.
An exi>erlment was carried out on
the farm of Frank Lawton, near New
ton, to show the value of planting
wheat on or about the fly free date
A plot of wheat was planted each
week, beginning Sept. 20 and eontlnu
ing until Oct. 23. The plots planted
on Sept.20, Sept. 27 and Oct 4 were
almost e’ntlrely destroyed by the fly.
Those plots planted after Oct. 4 came
through with little or no fly Injury
and a good yield.

Oregon has but one Normal Schoçl. This school
Is located at Monmouth. Excellent as Is the work
