WHEAT HINTS Sowing wheat after the fly-fit-r date is the most important preventative measure in the control of the Hessian fly, No. 1 insect enemy of wheat, according to J. J. Davis, head of the Purdue University <nt: oology Department. Good soil fertility, good seed and a ,;ood seed bed are other vital control factors. Toe Hessian fly is on the increase in Indiana, he warns, and the infestation can easily become serious this fall or next spring if pn ventive steps arc not talon by wheat growers. The infestation of straw has risen from five per cent last year to 10 to 15 per cent this year The best date to sow wheat to avoid the fly and produce the highest yields, known as the fly-

, rue date. varies between jeptetnbei 22 for the extreme •irthern counties and October 8 :iu the southern counties. Since I :he universal adoption of the fly- . free dates about IhdO, the fly has caused relatively little loss. Other insect pests which attack wheat include the Joint- , worm, armyworm. strawvonn and aphid. The jointworm show1 ed a threatening Increase and | caused considerable damage in 1948. and in some counties an : avei age of 75 per cent of the j straws were affected. In the old days, low cutting ! was recommended to control the jointw.oi n, but the modern combine does not cut low enough to get many of the hardened galls which the insect produces just above the lower nodes of the wheat stem.

The Purdue pecialist recommends cutting tile straw low after combining for the straw itself. If it goes through the thresher, the insects are killed, or even if simply used as bedding. most of the insects are killed by trampling. Planting the new wheat as far away from the old field as possible is another recommended method of control since the adult jointworm is a heavy bodied wasp and does not migrate far.

a big cvint than this. There were about seven or eight thousand people there and they eacn paid a gate entrance of seventyfive cents. Sounds like a lot of money and a good deal, but what do you suppose they did with ai!
