HERE THER E and EVERY WHERE

I lie state Sunday senooi convention will be held at Logansport June 15-17. Many Starke county farmers are reporting the presence of the Hessian fly in the wheat. This is the season of the year when the fly manifests itself most disastrously; In the past ten days reports have come from various southwestern states telling of the ravages of this pest. In Starke county fields the wheat is falling in patches and turning yellow, the result of the fly or worm boring through the stalk just above the ground. From now on to har-

vest this pest will prey upon the wheat with increased activity. It will )be found most in early sown fields where it was active last year. —Starke County Republican. -J Mr. and Mrs. Gus Reiss have announced the engagement of their Miss Sylvia- Reiss, to Mr. Gustave Braunschwerger of New York City.
