NO HESSIAN FIT DAMA6E
While the newspapers of Kan-
sas have been publishing reports
of damage to growing wheat by
Hessian fly, it is noted at the
Board of Agriculture in this
State that no reports of damage
have been made to that offce by
any of the 1,700 reporters in ah
sections of Oklahoma. Ther-
are some incidental reports oi
presence of the fly in Kay and
Grant Counties, but the damage
done is said to be negligible. In
the other wheat counties it is
said that conditions of the wheat
crop are improving rapidly and
the opening of the harvest sea-
son is confidently expected by
Secretary Don Lawhead of the.
Board of Agriculture to be bet-
ter than the .92 per cent shown
on occasion of the last report,
Mav 1st.
