POTATO BUG HARD TO KILL.

stable CrawfOrd's Case.

Columbia, s. c.. May 2O.-It is stated
that the Colorado beetle. or what is more
commonly known as the potato bug, has
appeared in Greenvi.le county. A few
were noticed last year, but this spring
they have appeared in destructive quanti-
ties. The beetle, while one of the most
destructible bugs known, is exceedingly
hard to kill. Farmers say they can be
destroyed only by daily examination of
fields and killing them off one by one.
The trial of Dispensary Constable Craw
ford for the murder of Mrs. Stewart In
Columbia three months ago, will take
place in Camden, Kershaw county, next
week The state obtained a change of

The Gothenberg system of turning
over the sale of liquors to the state, on
which South. Carolina modelled it's famous
dispensary plan, has been repealed in
Norway. \ Mr.. Garvin of Charleston,
in speaking of the event, says: "The
Norwegians, alarmed at the spread of
drunkenness, repealed the existing law
and substituted for it a statute decree
ing absolute prohibition. The result
has been a lamentable failure, as 1
learned in a recent visit to that country.
Drunkenness increased from the very
moment of the passage of the prohibi-
ton act. Illicit distilleries were set up
everywhere. Children were found in
toxicated and arrests increased SO per
cent. Thus the old world adds it's testi-
mony to the experience of the new-pro-

Recently the Tribune dedicated a little
editorial to Editor Tuttle's yearning for
the advent of the butter factory. There
was nothing in the editorial but a slight
allusion to butter and railroads. The
Grand Forks Plaindealer says there is
sense and nonsense, humor and pathos
in it. The Tribune admits three of the
allegations, but cannot see where the
pathos comes in-unless it is in the
butter.

coming conditions that will surround
the live stock business, a

u TO the FOrum relative TO the
coming conditions that will surround
the live stock business, says:
"a few years ago the advice to farmers
was to divcrsify-and the crops were di-
versifed,% resulting in overproduction and
little or no profit. The same danger lies
now if the live stockindustry would take
the form of ove%rproduction in the direc.
ton of ranching and pushing out with
large herds of cattle in u~ndeveloped
country, because few realize the heavy
percentage of young stock which per-
ishes on the range. This loss was not SO
serious a factor when stock cattle and
sheep were purchasable at a valuation of
% per cent to 40 per cent below present
values, but at present prices the problem
becomes one to be considered as an in
vestment of doubtful utility. However,
where live stock can be taken up in
small punches and properly housed and
fed, there is practically no loss from per-
ishing, when properly handled. Another
aspect of the business: Where ranches
have been multiplying and restricting
the grazing area and liberty of each
herd, cattle and sheep do not get fat
enough for the butchers, to the extent
formerly realized. when herds roamed
at will, free from worry and curtailment
of water or grazing privileges, as now
often occurs. This increases the number
of animals that must be finished on grain
and other fodder, before becoming valu-
able as beef or mutton and creates the
necessity for feeding or ~fattening dist
riots such as many ranches are interested
in fostering and encouraging. Because
if feeding and fattening districts can be
fostered in the farming communities,
the ranchman a sell animals of moder-
ate weight and avoid the risk of winter
ing, while insuring a profit and good
price for feed to the farmers, and getting
the cattle to the butcher six months in
advance of the time they would be avail
able if left on the ranch.
"a few years ago, outside of the stock
yards district, at market centers the
placing of paper, secured by live stock in
feed lots, was almost unknown, while at
the present time this form of security
has become popular and negotiable in
commercial centers at the will of the
holder, because the form of investment
insures payment of principal and inter-
est or six months time, and reinvestment
under similar conditions. Not to be mis-
understood in my ideas, it should be un-
derstood that I refer to the live stock
handled in moderate numbers fifty to
100 head of cattle in a place, and 100 to
500 sheep. Overstocking is fraught with
much danger"

Mayor johnson of Fargo has a kick
coming against the government. He
says the war department does not seem
to appreciate the fact that there is such
a state as North Dakota. When the war
with Spain was declared, the mayor
wrote to the department asking them to
name a vessel after either North Dakota
or Fargo, but nary ship was named. Re-
Gently the mayor wrote for one of the

result in the greatest good to the people
and to the territories wei which it has
assumed sovereignty. In a recent inter-
view he said:
1.-THE administration, with President
Mckinley at the head, may be trusted to
manage the problem, intricate though it
may be, in a manner entirely acceptable
to the great majority of the American
people and the rest of the world will
have to be satisfied. The last congress
gave the president ample financial re-
sources and unlimited power to deal
with the question. In doing so we had
every confidence in his ability to sue
coed. But few presidents have been in
trusted with so tremendous a response
bility, but 1 make the prediction that
the ultimate result will involve little, if
any, disappointment. One by one the
croakers are ceasing to croak, and Akin
son will soon be a thing of the past. The
attempt to make anti-imperialism an
issue in national politics has already
fallen by the wayside. Everyone under
stands that the United States did not
seek war with Spain, nor did we covet
any of her possessions. 1t is equally
well known that from the moment the
Maine was destroyed in Havana harbor
war became inevitable. That this coun-
try should have so well performed the
part that Providence seems to have
assigned to it, is no surprise to those
who are familiar with our military and
naval history, but that the conflict should
have been brought to a successful con-
clusion and peace declared within a year,,
is an accomplishment that has startled
the nations of the earth. No man can
measure the Importance to this country
of these unforeseen exents. We had
come to be a community of quibblers
and fault-tinders. We were divided into
factions politically and socially, and the
various ~stratas of society were at each
others Threats, ~contending for the fat
spoils of a most prolific peace era. The
call to arms to resist a foreign foe caused
IN immediate Transformation in the in
ternal conditions of the country. Unity
became the patchwork. The govern
ment must be sustained. The admins
%tration, political tenets aside, must be
upheld. Under the influence of these
conditions the national spirit is strength
ening. We have grown in courage, ex-
banded in patriotism and usefulness.
Call it imperialism if you will, we believe
that we are right, and so believing, do
not intend to shirk the slightest respon-
sibility, either at home or abroad. The
charge that we have entered upon a
colonial system will not divert us from
our duty as we understand it"

The beet sugar industry is one that
must receive the attention of the farmers
of the state before long, and the follow
ing interview with Secretary Wilson of
the department of agriculture will be of
interest:
II regard the beet sugar question in
this country as settled. There is no
longer any doubt that sugar from beets
will very soon be produced in enormous
quantities throughout the West and
Northwest. Recently l stated that there
will be forty new factories established in
the country this year. These figures
must be revised, as there will be more
than fifty. am advised that nine new
factories will be established in Michigan,
instead of five, as reported to us early in
the season. Good reports are coming
from all the Northwestern states. AS it
requires about 5000 tons of beets to
supply a factory large enough to be
profitable in sugar making, it will be
seen that many thousand acres of land
will be given to beet culture this year.
When l was director of the Iowa station
l produced sugar beets for cattle feeding
at 81 a ton. Farmers can receive 81 a
ton at sugar beet factories. and by TAX
ing home the refuse secure an important
addition to their stock food supply. AS
soon as the dairymen of the Northwest
realize this fact they will be engaged in
producing thousands of acres of sugar
beets, and the problem of sugar produc-
ton in the United States will be solved

Northern Pacific authorities says the
company's earnings the first ten months
of the year show we 100000 surplus
above 4 per cent on the preferred and 2
percent on the common. This is all the
more impressive since the company has
during this period spent s750,OOO more
than last year in betterments charged to
operating expenses. During the past
three years six miles of permanent
bridges have been built and that much
more is to be built. Last year 100 miles
of extensions were built, and this year
$50 miles will be built. An average for
the next few years will be probably for
not less than $50 miles yearly. Mr.. Mel

policy and once stated that a big road
like the Northern Pacific, that does not
spend from $1,000, 600 to 100000 yearly
to keep itself in the best condition and
most favorable position, is sure to fall
behind and lose prestige. In the West
territory is growing so rapidly that rail-
roads must push extensions to keep in
