followed the development of the work and of various types of lnstrpction all of whioh had their weak points, until finally the study of grammar was mado over by thq elimination of todlous grammar rules, and composition was. aiso revised. The grammar extremists yielded to give composition tho first place. They conceded that In order to achieve good results in correct speech and writing, children must be taught to talk, read and write, and be tible to write what thCy know before they commence the btudy of tho grammar. The language leason of the ex.

trcmlsts wore willing to give grammar tho second place. It wis said thul it Is not enough for pupils to know tho minimum essentials of grammar, but that they dro able to apply them to speech and. to writ ten, composition. Ana inus me siuuy of grammar was mado all over by eliminating tho grammar rules and composition was aiso revised. The lesson must be made in structive, work which the child will enjoy.

HUNTINGTON, Aug. 25. Several gardens in tho southern part of the city have been visited this Week by a man and woman, who without consent of owners, dug large quantities of potatoes. Most of the visits were made after night, but by the brilliant moonlight It was easy for them to get away with many hills of tubers. A watch la being kept In the hona that thav wl HESSIAN FLY COST BIG SUM Late Seeding of Wheat Ad vised by Purdue to Overcome Tremendous Loss.

DAMAGE IS ESTIMATED LAFAYETTE, Aug. 25. Hessian fly damaged the Indiana wheat op to the extent of during the past year, according to estimates based on reports from throughout the state to the soils and crops department of Purdue university. The fly was so bad in come sections that the wheat was not worth cutting and In many places It was plowed under this, sprg and the ground planted to corn or oats. This loss can be prevented tho coming year by late sowing rf wheat, or seeding after the "fly free" dates, according to Prof.

A. T.Wlanoko. head of the soils and crops department of Purduo. Purduend government entomologists have established by several years of experimental work dates for various parts of the state (or seeding so that the wheat will not be damaged by the fly. "On the experiment station ground at Lafayette the best results have been secured by seeding during the last week In September," said Prof.

Wlancko. "About one day earlier or Intel than thla should be counted for each ten miles north or south of this latitude. When there Is Hessian fly in the neighborhood (t Is advisable to delay soedlng as late aa possible. Lato seeding will often escape fly damage where early seeding would be badly Infested. There Is, of course, a practical limit to the lateness of seeding.

It must not be' so late aa to put the wheat Into the winter In poor condition. Oood fertilisation will hasten the development of Jate seeded wheat." Posters with a map showing the approximate dates for seeding In the state have been sent to each county. The map shows that seeding should be done; If possible, from September 20 In the extreme northern part of the to October 8 or It In the extreme southern part. niM man In a community seeding before the fly free date may start the llle wiuei wiu 4niciau wnea.i neighborhood.
