S. Department of Agriculture “Mary, I've simply got te find out what the Hessian Fly is and what it does and why all the farmers are con- tinually talking about it without seem- fng to do anything else,” sald Parson Brown to his wife, the other evening as he returned from a trip through the gountry-side. “I'm going to write to the Department of Agriculture and the state experiment station and see if I eannot find out about the pest.” The letters were sent and a few | days later several bulletins were re- eeived by the Parson, who took them | m¢o his study and read them ther- | oughly several times. He learned the habits of the Fly, that the eggs batch fn the late fall, and that the young must have tender young wheat plants upon which to feed and deposit them- | selves, else they die. Finally ia | Farmers’ Bulletin 640, of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture, he read the following statement: | “All practical measures to ocom- bat the fly must necessarily be in | the nature of preventatives, look- | img (1) to the elimination of the pest in the young plants in the fall, and (2) to the increasing of the vigor of the young plamts ia order to emable them to counter act the insect’s efforts when pres- ent. Under the first come late sowing, rotatiem of crops, burn- | ing of the old stubble, and the de- giruction of volunteer wheat. Under the second should be class- | @d the enrichment of the soil, is thorough preparation, and select- | ing and properly sowing the best seed.” In the same bulletin, he found a dis- eussion of the value of some guick aot ing fertilizer as a preventive measure. The second statement was the follow- { | “The application broadcast of | some quick acting fertiliser ocom- | taining a large percentage of phos- phate (phosphorus) made as socom | as general infestation is appareat "will cause the plants to tiller more freely and give them sufficient vigor to withstand the winter and thus increase the number of healthy stems the following spring. . . . While it may seem ‘far fetched’ to bring forward as a pre- preventive measure the enrich- ment of the soll, a fertile soil will produce plants that will withstand with little injury attacks that will prove disastrous to plants growing on an impoverished er thin soil « « . It 18 also on the thin or fmpoverished soils that the dif- fulty of sowing late enough te evade the fall attack and at the | same time secure a growth suf- | fieient to withstand the winter is encountered, and whatever can be done to obviate this difficulty will | eoonstitute a preventive measure.” | “Mary, I've not only found out about Joy and his old schoolmate, Dr. W. D. Chand- | ene Hessian Fly, but I've found out bow the Govermment advises that the pest be combatted, and I'm going to | get a supply of these bulletins and put | this community,” said Parson Brown. 180 during the next week, he spent | much of his time talking Hessian Fiv [to the farmers, and the indications are that his work is going to mean more |and better wheat per acre in that | eounty. ‘BEAT YOUR WHEAT YIELDS! | FARMERS RAISING OVER 30 BUSH. | ELS PER ACRE PROFIT FROM | | THEIR SEASON’S WORK. The indicated average yield of | wheat for 1916 is reported by the | United States Department of Agricul- ture to be only 14.1 bushels per acre | compared with 16.9 bushels per acre last year. Nine million less acres are in wheat and a decrease in total yield of three hundred million bushels less | than last year is predicted. Wheat is 2 high priced crop amd every bushel | sounts. Weather conditions during the re- | mainder of the eurrent season will bave an effect upon the yields. The | early handling of the erop, including the plowing, preparation of the seed bed, the kind of seed used, the atten- tion given to the fertility of the soil, and to the supplying of plantfood to give the crop a good start and carry it along to maturity, are among the fac- tors that determine whether next year's wheat field will make a profit | | over and above expenses. c00D SEED IEEE ESS [: CROP ROTATION P- ism ffi css By hoarding this year you may be fording next year.

If there are four essential and neces- sary steps in growing a crop, and we follow three and neglect ome, often we might just as well have omitted the three since a poor crop is eertain to follow. Whoever uses good seed, prepares a fine, firm seed bed, uses lime, but neglects to supply wheat | with available plant food in sufficient quantities will not harvest the largest number of bushels of best quality wheat. | You cannot grow strong, sturdy | wheat plants from a h start. The tiny plants need assistance from germination to maturity. The roots take up in solution ammonia, phoe- phoric acid and potash. These plant- foed elements are found in the soil, being gradually available to the crop; the deficiency of plant food is sup- plied through fertilizers. They are carried to the growing leaves, and un- der the action of sunlight, are maru- factured into plant cell material that makes plant growth. Ammonia is the food that helps baby plants by giving them a dark green color and produc- ing stalk growth. Plenty of available ammonia in the fertilizer gives the young plants a running start. Harris in Cormell University Bulle tin 363 states: | “The number of kernels of wheat per pot increased with the fertilizer” Filing the Kernels. Wheat is grewn primarily for the grain. Phosphoric acid is the plant food that is most intimately concerned | with forming and filling the kernels. | Late tn June or early in July, the tiny wheat flowers open and become fertile and the new wheat berries begin to de- | velop. The time between the flowers becoming fertile and the complete filling of the kernels is very short— not over tem days or two weeks in most cases. As the kernel contains | 78 per cent. of the phosphoric aeid of , the plant, this plant food ingredient | plays a very important part in filling | the kernel and making the crop. Thatcher holds that the relative | protein content of grain is determined | chiefly, if not wholly, by the rapidity | of ripening of the kernel. Thus # is | easily seen that the amount of phos | phorie acid available for plant food [ [ | | | at this time may determine the quality sad yfeld of the crop. Strengthening Straw. The third essential plant food, pot: ash, gives strength to the straw, as | sists in the transportation and laying down of the starch in the kernel and | along with phosphoric acid plumps the : grain. If the kernels are shriveled or small, the straw weak and inelined to lodge, more potash should be ap plied in the fertilizer. Available am- monia, phosphoric acid and potash are the three plant foods applied in fertd limers. They cause plant or stalk growth, form heavy, plump kernels, hasten maturity and make strong straw, insure good clover catshes and quality wheat. Fertilizers should be selected of such an analysis as wil make up for the deficiencies of the available plant food im the soil and | supply the special needs of the wheal under various farm eonditions. Best results will be secured by using 208 to 400 pounds of fertilizer on loam or elay soils analyzing 3 to 4 per cent ammonia, 8 to 12 per cent. phosphorie acid and 2 to 4 per cent. potash. Os sandy or poor soils more ammonia should be used. Owing to the war cone ditions making potash searce and high priced, a much smaller percentage of potash is advisable until these abnor mal conditions adjust themselves. Fertilizers give crops a quick start, strengthen straw, hasten maturity, | better the quality and increase yields | and profits. | Feed Vegetables Several Times | For years hundreds of successful truck-growers have been making one, | two or even more applications of fer tilizer on crops each year with profit. | The method gains favor because it is | a money-maker. Sweet corn, beans, cabbage, tomatoes and a host of other crops benefit greatly by this practice. Apply with a cultivator attachment, five-hole grain drill or fertilizer bugle. | If crops are slow in starting use a fertilizer containing more than 1 to 8 | per cent ammonia.
