/ Nearly all the box.elder groves hav
been visited thts year by a long greer
worm that goes backward and fsrwar,
through the leaves like sewing nach,n
through ptce Of cloth. These worm
have attacked the leaves of the hox-ede
trees in some places for several season
past, but have not beeA so Aumeyous a.
present. They are also devouring th
leaves Of the ehoke.cherry bushes. Th
worms do not kill the trees, but retar,
their growth. Being very large, th
worms are easily found and destroyed.
Grand Forks Plaindea1er: The residen
farmers in the western counties who hav
lost their crops, or who are without work
should come at once to the valley. Th
farmers here are clamoreus for help. an,
prefer Dakota labor. The harvest tramp
who are focklng in are not considered dc
sirable aids. Our farmers sympatkiz
deeply with those In the state who hav
been unfortunate, and will gladly al
them by furnishing work at good wages
The papers in the outlying counties ar
requested to give publicity to this Offer
and to assure the destitute farmers tha
there is plenty to do in the Red Rive
valley and liberal pay for the doing.
Previous to this year very few rattle
snakes have been seen in the interior 0
Emmons county, and most of them in th
bluffs along the river. Farmer Bates, 0
northwestern Emmons, has~a plausibl
theory for the yattlers being SO numerou
OF late. It is'well kp6wn that when dee
were plentiful lptge numbers of snake
were killed bf the bucks, the animal
stamping. NE life out Of the reptiles wit
their fofe feet Mr.. BIS idea is that, th
deer being practically exterminated il
this region, there is nothing to prevent a
increase of snakes. THIS Is q very unfol
tunate state Of affairs, when the fact
taken into consideration that 4snaikbigh
medicine Is tsbooed by the, constitution.
Announcements are plentiful this weel
