July v The ln5s in thti l'Jl.". wh'at !ii from the ravages oT the Heian My in sme sections will be the u-reatot in several w.r.:. From Ute. .May t J-no to October, 1J14, tin- dvpartim-nt issued repeated warning and advisory MaU-mnt.s telling of th- impending danger of a srio-.i-outbreak of th" pest during the -ar It is now loo late to do anything toward lessening the devastations of the Hessian My in thi- war's, crop. Now is the Um-. how- r, to he-in thf? work of saving iroin the ily the millions of arrf.s of wli'.tt which will b? planted on th- present infested area within the next lew months. In order to uinler.-tand the situa tion fully, it is n et ssary to know waat the ;iy is like, how it is eapable of causing su h enormou losses, and how it transforms from the X'A to the fully developed insert. Comparatively lw farmers are ahle to rtconi.e this pest. ex cpting in what Is known as the "11 as-ed" which even then is often mistaken for the c Two (eiietations hi Year. Th'-ro are two Keiu rat ions of the Hessian lly each year, or.e in the fall ;iml one in the following spring, tlie latter bciiis the children of tho former. Therefor-, if there were no Jhcx to lay egus in the fall, it stands to reason that there could be none to lay gus in sprin-T. In the course of its development the in.-eet passes through four differnt. stages. Th alult is a small. !.ml d. dark-eoloied Ily. vej- mech i ese n 1 1 i i i'i a small mosquito. The? va is very small, long, slender, and of u shining eolor, and is placed by the female My in the grooves on the upper surface of the wheat leaves, both in spring and fall. The maggot hatches fioin th- eg-, makes its way down the b-.if. wedges itself between the leaf sheath and the stalk of the plant, where in some eases a dozen or more may if found partly overlapping one another. When it becomes full grown its skin hardens, ehanging to brown, and from its form and color it is then commonly known as the i!a se el." which is the pupal or resting stage of the insect. Hatch in April, beginning about April 1. Hies emerge from the "flaxseed" that have passed the winter in the fall wheat, whether early sown or volunteer. These Hies deposit their eggs on the leaves of the u"dnfested plants, the eu-s hatch into maggots in from four to eight days, and the maggots become grown in about 'u to :?0 days and then change, to "flaxseeds." This constitutes the spring generation. After harvest the "Haxseed" of this g neration can ! found in the stubble just above the ground. r often higher un where the straw lias broken ever. While, as stated, tho Hessian fly emerges from the "Maxseed" stag throughout an extended period of time within the entire area of its distribution, in any given locality this emergence of the adults in destructive abundance occupies but a fey dajs. Tli' life .f th' female after she makes her way forth from tho ""axseed." pro!... My ilo's not exteml b: ond a period of live or six days. Thus It is that a delay in wheat sowing in the fall until after the Mies have appeared Mid largely disappeared becomes of ueli it.H importance. Second Crop in August.

No larmer need be ?'n the least uncertain as to the extent to which his wheat is infested in the fall. An infested plant stands straight upward in the drill row. with broader leaves of a darker green color, does not tiller, and therefore does not spread out and cover the ground between the rows. The Hessian fly attacks wheat rye, and barley, but not oats. Nowhere, either in the east or west, should wheat be sown on wheat stubble if this course can possibly be avoided. However, in the east, as well as in some portions of Iowa ami Missouri, the wheat stubble is universally seeded to timothy and clover, and therefore any kind of cultivation of these stubblo lields is rendered impractical, though in many cases it would be far better to sacritice all except the very bcs'. settling. Neither can tho tields be burned over without destroying the young seeding, and where these conditions prevail tho only practical method that the farmer can use is that of delaying his wheat sowing until the Mies have made their way from the stubblo to tho Melds and died there without being able to find any plants upon their eggs. .1 to deposit Cultural 3Ietl .

Launch Another Violent offensive Against French and Capture French Positions. Take 1,000 Prisoners.

LONDON. July f,. leveling the French trenches with a hurricane of high explosive shells, the Germans have launched another violent offensive in tho west, this time on the Mosello. Heavy forces, sweeping forward to the attack in Le Prctre wood?, have stormed and captured French positions extending over a front of more than 1,600 yards, penetrating 4 2." yards into tho maze of trenches. South of Nerroy, on tho Moselle, the Oermans also bleu- up a French blockhouse with its entire garrison and defending guns near Haut de Kicupt. More than 1.000 prisoners, including tho staff officers of an entire battalion, have been captured by the Germans in tho fighting In Lo Tretre woods. Two field cannon and a number of machine guns and bombs throwers also have been captured. Tho attack, which was made on the western border of tho forest, was preceded by a cannonade of tremendous intensify and violence. Scores of heavy guns, brought up on a narrowfront, were opened on the French, tons of hi-.'h explosive blowing up thei- trenches. The entanglements swept away, the German forces of more than a division, were thrown into tho attack. They swept forward and over the former French positions, driving the defenders back well into their rear lines. Sanguinary' fighting continues amid the maze of communicating trenches, waged with hand grenades, land mines, the bullet and tho bayonet. The midnight communique received here from Paris characterizes the German artillery action in this region as "especially violent". The earlier communique admitted that the French were forced to withdraw from a number of trenches. It asserts, however, that tin; lines occupied by the Germans had previously been captured from them, and that they were un able to advance beyond those line. Violent attacks bv the TJritish north of Yprcs and the French in the region of Souchez, resulted in vigorous engagements, in which the loss of life was heavy, according to dispatches from Herlin. The attacking forces, however, it is stated, failed to gain ground and were forced to retire upon their own lines. Great activity by the rival air corps has marked the return of fine weather. In the last few days this has taken the form of Individual combats high above the battle lines, although allied fliers have again bombarded Hinges. According to Berlin reports today, one of the most thrilling air engagements of the war was fought thousands of feet up between a German armored aeroplane and throe allied machines. Directing a heavy machine gun and bomb firo on his adversaries tho lono flier outmaneuvered the trio. who. like vultures, swooped upon him and escaped to his own lines.
