Hession Fly in Wheat Fields
On October 31st, the writer in com
pany with Mr.Mlain, the Extension
Specialist in Entomology from M. A.
C. visited a number of wheat fields
in Waverly and Bloomingdale town
ships and in every early sown field
large numbers of Hessian fly larva
were found. Some fields are so bad
ly infested that "it is almost imposs
ible to find a lant without at !cat
one of the littl-3 larva of the fly.
On the other hand, fields sown late,
after the 25th, of September, show
at the present no fly at all, but with
out a doubt will become infested next
spring when the adult flys emerge
from the infested fields.
The warm September which we had
caused the fly to lay eggs later than
usual, and plenty of the larva have
hatched while some of the older have
entered the .flax seed stage and are
ready for winter. There is only one
hope for Michigan wheat crop now
as we are informed by Mr. Hainthat
the presence of the fly is general
over the state and that is, that the
parasites which ordinarly keep the
fly in subjection will appear and kill
off a large number of the larva be
fore they can emerge next spring as
adults.
A great many wheat growers have
not liked to sow their wheat as late
a September 25th, but the ones who
have done so ,this year have fields
free from fly and would have good
prospects for wheat if it were not
possible that their fields may become
infested from early sown fields next
spring. A field of wheat on the farm
of A. D. Robinson at Berlamont
which was planted September 27th,
was carefully examined for fly and
none found, while fields all around
which were sown before September
20th, are badly infested, with the
plants all turning yellow as the re
sult of the work of from one to
twenty little Hessian fly larva in
each plant.
Since the above was written a large
number of wheat fields have been
visited and plants examined ' for fly
and in general early sown fields are
badly infested with fly, the medium
sown fields are not so badly infested
and the very late sown fields are
very free from fly.

THE SCOUT WHO WILL STICK
You may talk of your Scouts who
are strong on the hike,
Who are there on the trail, in the
woods and the like
You may have all the signalers
Eagles and Stars, x
First-aiders, athletes and sea-scouting
tars;
Byt if from all Scouts you will give
me my pick
fasten my choice on the Scout
who will stick.
I don't care a whoop if he's fat.
short or tall,
Bow-legged, pigeon- toed,- cross-eyed
or small,.
He may he a dub with an axe or a
kit,
At daily inspection he won't make a
hit,
Hi.-, skull may be ivory, six inches
thick
But I'll overlook that in the Scout
who will stick. ,
There's a job to be done, its a tough
one, I fear;
It may take a week, it may take a
year
Who's going to do it? Here' comes
the chap,
He takes off his coat, he throws
down his cap,'
Looks at the job, shuts his jaws
with a click
Fellows, that's him the Scout who
will stick.
Problems arise as the job goes along
Nothing works right, and every
thing's wrong.
When things look the blackest, some
Scout will say
Oh Gee, whats the use I and then
beat it away
But some one fights on through the
thin and the thick,
And we find at the end the Scout
who will stick.
