IOWANS PLAN TO SEND BELGIANS CORN Des Moines, Nov. 4.—Iowa already is responding with a will to the pro posal to save the Belgians from star vation by sending them a shipload of Iowa corn. The movement—fathered by D. S. Chamberlain, of 3520 Grand avenue— is young yet, so young that there has not been time nor opportunity to form an organization. Iowa men are thinking about it, however, and acting, too. Mr. Chamberlain has received a gratifying number of promises, ver bal and in letters, of co-operation to make Iowa's Thanksgiving offering a thing the state will be proud of. These communications are 'coming from every part of the commonwealth. Webster City and Hamilton county already have started a campaign to raise a car of corn for the Iowa train of 100 can*.. Governor Clarkk has been asked to appoint a committee of representa tive Iowa men to take up the project actively, prosecute a vigorous cam paign and attend to the details of an undertaking of the magnitude of ttyis one. H. C. Hoover, a former Iowa^man, is at the head of the entire machinery for. the relief of the Belgians. In ap peals to this country- for aid, Mr. Hoover has said repeatedly that the imperative need is food and that the United States alone can answer it ade quately. .... 1 •.

Ames, Nov. 4.—Volunteer wheat In Iowa this fall is badly infested with the Hessian fly- Early sown wheat also is much infested. To protect all wheat next spring, it Is advised that volunteer wheat be turned under at once. In some cases it may be best to plow up sown wheat, if this is se verely damaged. Late sown wheat is little^ injured, but early sown wheat is /likely to be greatly damaged. The Hessian fly caused much dam age to wheat last spring, but indica tions point to far more damage next year. Measures must be taken now to prevent further spread of the insect next spring. Plowing buries the in sects so that the adult flies, whicb~lay the eggs, will be unable to emerge next spring. All volunter wheat should be plowed up at once. It is a menace to wheat anywhere nearby. If it is too late for plowing, fields with volun teer wheat in them may be pastured. This is not nearly so effective, though' it will do some good. There are, in general, two broods of the Hessian fly, one in the fall, an other in the spring. At this season most of the insects are in the "flax seed" stage on young wheat plants, both volunteer and sown wheat. Most of the damage has already been done this fall, but the spring brood of mag gots undoubtedly will cause much in jury.
