EARLY SOWN WHEAT Purdue Survey Shows Large Per Cent Infestation By Hessian Fly In some sectious of Indiana it is I not difficult to locate wheat fields sow , Icd before the “fly-free" date. A re- . i cent survey by entomologists from '; Purdue University of such fields in , j Adams, Jay, DeKalb, Tippecanoe, La- ! Porte and Vigo counties show all such ) ! early sown fields to contain more or j less fly, 10 to 70 per cent of the plants I being infested. In fields sown after , I the “fly-free" date, the fly is absent j or practically so. While the early sown fields are not j numerous they are sufficiently generally scattered in some counties to permit a rather general infestation next spring and a heavy infestation next fall unless checked by natural enemies or prevented from laying eggs by properly timing the sowing. | "As pointed out this last fall thej wheat grower should plan never to sow until after the "fly-free” date, even in years when the fly is not | overly abundant, as has been the case i this past season." said Prof. J. J. , Davis, head of the entomology department. “In fa/t, it is as important to delay sowing until the right time in years of fly scarcity as in other ( years, because by so doing we will be able to hold the fly in continual check to better advantage. The importance of every one following this practice was also emphasized. The i i fly may travel several miles and one early sown field is sufficient to raise j • enough fly to ( infest the wheat in the | > spring or the following fall for miles around.” , o MARRIAGE LICENSES Edwin Spichiger, clerk, Linn Grove, . age 23 years, to Dora Beer, seamstress, Monroe township, age 25 years.

THE MODERN FARM LIFE ' Modern Appliances Revolutionize Rural Life During . Last Few Years Indianapolis, Dec. 21.—Farm life in Indiana isn't what it used to be. Modern appliances have revolutionized it. The old wash tub brought into temporary use behind the kitchen stove on Saturday night has given way to pretty white enameled bath tubs with running water in one out of every fifteen farm homes. Electric lighting, power washing machines and vacuum cleaners have replaced the kerosene lamp, the wash board and the brook in a large number of homes. The horse aud buggy have followed .Q|e plesiosaurus into history and figures compiled by George C. Bryant, Indiana agricultural statistician for the federal government, showed today that there is an average of more than one auto on every farm. Not only in his mode ot travel, but in pumping water to the stock, cutting silage, churning milk and separating the cream and in many other activities that have heretofore required hand power, the farmer has taken advantage of inventive genius and brought electric motors, gas and steam engines and windmills. There is one of these sources of motive power to every- three farms. A large part of them are gasoline engines with nearly an equal number of windmills. Some of the farmers run their domains on a business-like basis. There are 8,334 record books kept.

BANDIT. WOLF AT LAST PAYS PRICE Grand Junction, Colo-, Dec. 21 —The giant gray wolf that for years roamed Mesa County and caused hundreds of dollars in louses to stockmen, has made Its last kill. Luke Hummel ot the Dolores section is financially much better off as the slayer of the great wolf for lie collected a score of rewards. The wolf leader ot a bold pack measured seven and one-half feet fi■< in tip to tip and weighed 150 pounds. Veteran trappers and hunters say it is one ot the largest ever killed on the western slope ot Colorado. Scores of hunters have tried vainly for years to run down the giant lobo, but he always avoided their baited traps and kept out ot range of their rifles. Hummel! set a large trap u.;d at Lulled a heavy lug to it. The next morning the trap and log were gone and a trail led through the forest. Hummel carted in pursuit. For three days he followed the windings ot tile furrowed path left by the log as (he wolf sougiit to escape. A the end of the third day, fifty miles from the place where he set the trap. Hummel came upon the animal, exhausted but showing tight. A shot from .his 30-30 ended the wolf's long career. NEW COMET FOUND Hamburg—Another comet has been discovered. Dr. W.
