It is reported that hogs are scarce in country points and that to a large extent fall pigs don't exist, as far- mers have been getting rid of their breeding sows. The title "Canadian National Ex- hibition" was adopted in 1904. Pre- vious to that it had been known as the "Industrial Exhibition." • Feed your land with avies Fertilizer' and you will have a bigger and better crop of Fall Price eat THIS is no arm -chair theory. It's a 1 fact! Harab-Davies Fertilizer con- tains available plant food in the form of Ammonia, Phosphoric Acid and Potash. Fall Wheat sown with Harab-Davies Fertilizer can be sown late in order to avoid the Hessian Fly. It gives the growing plant a good root system. It promotes quick and strong top grpwth. It practically eliminates winter -killing. It hastens a harvest with long straw, and big, plump, meaty kernels that grade high on the market. The Fall Wheat photo 'alongside was taken May 27, 1920. In the Spring of 1919 the well -grown portion of this field was sown in oats, fertilized with Harab-Davies Fertilizer. After the oats were harvested the whole' field was disked and cultivated and sown to Fall Wheat without additional fer- tilizer. The difference between the fer- tilized and unfertilized portion is amaz- ing - and it incidentally proves that IIarab-Davies Fertilizer will show re- sults the second season.

B;later Paeks Well. (Contributed by Ontario Department 01 Agriculture, Toronto.) VERY year co.mplaiuts are. made of the ravages of this minute inseet, especially in those parts of the Province where fall wheat is grown, In' some places a large proportion of the crop may be destroyed, while in others the amount of injury may be slight. The insect gets its name from the supposition that it was brought to America in straw carried by some Hessian soldiers, who were sent out from England during the Revolution- ary war. These troops landed on Long Island in 1776, and three years later the wheat crops in the neigh- borhood of their camp were found to be seriously injured by the newly imported insect. This account of its arrival in America has been disputed by some investigators who declare that it occurred on this continent many years before. However this may be, the name of "Hessian Fly" has been universally adopted in all parts of the world where wheat is grown. It certainly received its scientific name (Cecidomyia destructor) from Thomas Say, a pioneer American en- tomologist,°in 1820. From Long Island it gradually spread throughout the State of New York and then southward, westward and northward, till It finally reached California in 1884. In Canada it was associated with the Wheat Midge dur- ing the years 1854 to 1857, when the heat crops in this country were to- lly destroyed and the farmers were driven to despair. In 1856 the Bureau of Agriculture in Toronto of- fered prizes for the best essays on the insect enemies and diseases of the wheat plant. The highest award was made to Prof. H. Y. Hind, of Trinity College, Toronto, and his essay was officially published in 1857 and widely distributed among the farmers of this Province. The book is an admirable production, and is Lull of valuable information on these enemies of wheat which is just as useful now as it was so sixty years ago. The Hessian. Fly is a small two - winged gnat, about one-eighth of an inch in length and dark in color. Ow- ing to its minute size and active habits it is seldom ..seen, and few, if any, of our farmers would be able to recognize it. The female fly lays from 100 to 150 eggs, depositing them in rows of four or five on the surface of the wheat leaf near the ground. From these small maggots• soon hatch out and burrow beneath the sheaf and into the stalk where they absorb the juices of the plant. After a time the plants turn yellow and die, which is usually the first in- dication of the insect's presence. After some time the maggot be- comes pill -grown, its skin hardens, turns brown, and it forms a puparium which is called the "flax -seed" stage, from its resemblance in size, color and shape to this seed. I•n this con- dition it passes the winter, fully pro- tected by its position in the stem and safe from injury. In the following May the fly emerges and deposits its eggs for the production of a second brood. These eggs are laid upon the young spring wheat at one of the low- er joints of the stem, and upon any of the fall plants that have escaped the previous attack and survived the winter. The effect of the work of the maggot is to cause a weakening and hardening of the stem at the point of attack, which results in the bending down or breaking off of the plant. The flax -seed stage is reached in due course and the insect remains in that condition till the crop is harvested. As the pest, when present, is usually very numerous, great damage' is done to both the fall and spring crops and very serious loss is suffered by the farmer. Remedies. - Prevention in this case is better than cure. It has been found that fall wheat may escape at- tack if sown not earlier than the 20th of September in southwestern On- tario, or a little earlier in other parts ,of the Province. The parent flies are on the wing at tne beginning of September and by the dates mention- ed, the period of egg -laying is over. This plan can be mademore certain of success if a strip of wheat is sown at the beginning of the month to serve as a trap crop. The flies lay their eggs on these early plants be- fore the main crop is above ground. By ploughing under this strip the I brood is effectually destroyed and all clanger is escaped. After the crop of an infested field has been taken off, if practicable, the stubble should be burned; but if this cannot be lane, it should be ploughed deeply under to prevent the flies which are about to hatch out to reach the surface of the ground and escape for the production of another brood: Wheat should not be grown again on the same piece of ground for at least' a couple of years. As many of the "flax -seeds" remain in the straw, it is advisable to colleet and burn the. screenings Froin the threshing :ma- chine. By the adoption 01 these meth- ods, which involve little trouble or expense, the farmer may be reason- ably sure of getting a full return for his industry, as far as least as this minute pest is concerned. -Dr. C.
