EDITED BY Plowing Under of Wheat Stubble Is Urged on Farmers Farmers growing wheat in Scott, Muscatine and Lee counties and the wheat growing counties in the western part of the state, should plow their wheat stubble and cultivate it to kill out volunteer wheat as soon as possible, Harold Gunderson, extension entomologist at Iowa State college, warns.

The purpose is to kill Hessian fly "flax seeds" and prevent a "population-build-up" on volunteer wheat, Gunderson explains. He said that this year, farmers have had "more concrete evidence of the value of planting wheat on or after the safe-seeding date than for a long time because practically ever field that was planted early suffered from 25 to 100 per cent loss from Hessian flies. The entomologist said that the rainy weather during June was favorable for the flies, and the spring brood of the fly spread to wheat that was not infested last fall, but there was little, if any damage to wheat planted after the safe-seeding date. He emphasized that every wheat field is a potential source of danger to the next year's winter crop. Taking care of the stubble to kill all volunteer wheat now will help solve the problem.

Heating Spots in Hay Located With Use of Steel Rod The location and extent of hay that's heating can be determined by making tests with a steel rod in various places. Examination of the rod upon removal will disclose the presence of hot spots, according to Carl Rylander, county agent.

The heated portions should then be more carefully explored with a thermometer which can be lowered on a string through a pipe forced into the hay. An inexpensive dairy thermometer will do. A temperature of 158 degrees is dangerous, and ignition is almost sure to follow if 212 degrees is reached. Removal of the hay should be done with great care. Hot smouldering hay is likely to break into flames when brought into the open air.

If possible, the fire department from a nearby town should be called and water connections made before the hay is removed. If at all possible, avoid throwing water on hay, since it only invites more trouble later. Carbon dioxide in either the liquid or dry ice form has been usod successfully to combat barn fires. Not only is the temperature lowered, but the carbon dioxide displaces the air, thus depriving the fire of necessary oxygen. Liquid carbon dioxide is available at any soda fountain.

Pipes are driven into the hay in a similar manner as when taking temperatures. Several should be used. While this method may take considerable carbon dioxide, it is che-iper than hay and barns. Ophiem Hill Toppers 4-H Club Plans for Achievement Aug. 11 OPHIEM, 111.

(Special) Pointing out that there is still a world of difference between what the common man of the Axis countries is putting into this war and what we are putting into it, Robert Kazmayer, widely educated and experienced in the headline countries of the world, said in a University of Iowa lecture Fri day night that perhaps we need to be scared, we need an honest unholy fear of losing this war and of losing our homes, our jobs, our schools, our churches. "Before we win this war we are going to have to meet and match the peoples of the Axis countries," Kazmayer said. "We are going to have to out think them, out work them, out live them, out fight them, and if neces sary, out die them." "Maybe that means fear," Kazmayer added. "Maybe that means something else. I am not certain.

There are good grounds for genu ine, awful fear. He believes that maybe we have talked too much about our homes, our jobs, and all that goes with our American way of life. "All these things were bought and paid for by another genera tion, and because we paid nothing for them, we have taken them for granted. "There is altogether too much of the nauseating optimism of some of our leaders. There are no grounds for optimism today." Ben Johnson, 74, Of Low Moor Is Killed by Auto CLINTON, la.
