RIVER RISES 81
ALMOST Two FEET
OBSERVER GRAssE STATES HOW.
EVER THAT REPORTS FROM
WAHPEToN ARE REAssuRlNe-
NOT BELIEVED THAT THERE IS
DANGER OF SERIOUS FLOOD.

Observer Grasse. reported this after
noon that since the reading of the river
guage at noon yesterday the water in
the Red had risen within two points
of two feet. The reading today was
21.02 and yesterdays reading was 1905
feet.
II 10 Still Rising.
This afternoon Mr.. Grasse said re-
port from Wahpeton, N. D.. stated that
conditions had not changed there the
water was well within the banks and
the ice had moved down a little and
the general impression was that there
would be no more rise, at least not
until the Bots de Sioux had been brok :
en- upswhen as a rule swollen conditions
did not exceed two feet. 1t is the gem
eral' report from points tributary no
the Red river that the melting of the
snow and ice has been too gradual to
create much in the way OF flood troubles
Then too, the many new bitches which
have been constructed in Clay and ad-
joining counties are as a rule taking
care of great deal of water and ex-
cepting few defects from cavinr in
of portions of. bitches little trouble is
anticipated.

The Home Merchant

One of the most notable facts
connected with a country news
paper of today is the large in
crease in the amount of local ad-
vertising. The change has taken
place gradually, and has been
marked especially during the past
year or two. 1t is highly signifi-
cant, and an inquiry as to the
cause of it is of great profit, not
only to those in the newspaper
business, but to every business
man and citizen of our town as
well. The change in brief. means
that local merchants have found
it necessary to call attention to
their goods because OF the i'm
mense competition they face, the
most deadly element of which is
that from the great stores of the
large cities. These great estab-
lishments advertise their wares

young beetles killed.
Arsenate of lead generally
comes in the form of white paste.
To mix this substance, first fill
the sprayer with water. Then
weigh out in pail the amount of
lead required. Pour a gallon or
so of water on the lead and stir
the substance very thoroughly
with a stick. Pour off the top
gently into the machine, through
strainer. 1t will probably be
found that part of the lead has
not been mixed. Add more water
and proceed as before.
If the grower has neglected the
work until the leaves are being
badly eaten by the insects, it will
probably be better to spray with
Paris green, at the rate of one
pound of the green to seventy
five gallons of water
One should use good machinery
of an up-to-date pattern. The
old fashioned sprinkling carts are
not used any more by progressive
potato growers. A machine whicn
throws fine spray of some kind
under pressure is the only modern
method. No potato grower can
afford not to have a good potato
sprayer at his command. A mod
ern machine costs from seventy,
five to one hundred and twenty
five dollars.-S. Arthur Johnson

most lavishly, and the metropoli-
tan newspapers which contain
their advertisements are distrib-
uted over the country, some one
paper of which enters nearly
every home. The result is that
these metropolitan establishments
have built up an immense mail
trade. In our town. and indeed
in most of the towns hereabouts,
there is no occasion for this out
of-town buying. The duty of
C tizens in the matter is plain, and
where other things are equal sup
port should be given our home

have invested their capital, have
erected buildings, which are the
pride of the city, and have estab-
lished concerns which are almost
metropolitan in character. They
have built up our little city, and
it is only fair return that they
have the city's trade-to trade
otherwise, even in the line of
small purchases which are great

decline of property values in our

Remedies for potato Beetle

The number of potato beetles
which wintered over this year is
so great that potato growers
should be prepared to carry on a
speedy and determined fight.
The adult beetles are flying about
now seeking food plants where
they may lay their eggs.
The adult beetles congregate
on the potatoes as soon as they
appear above the ground. They
live upon the leaves, but gener-
ally are not sufficiently numerous
to do great injury. When the
vines are much eaten, however, it
will pay to spray with Paris green
at the rate of one pound in hun
dred gallons of water, or a half
pound in barrel.
When the adult beetles are not
very numerous, it will not be ne
cessary to spray till the eggs are
about ready to hatch. The eggs
are yellow and are laid in patches
containing from fifteen to fifty
eggs. They are generally laid on
the under sides of the leaves. The
potato grower should go across
the patch every second day and,
with the hand, turn over the
l:2ves IN hill of each second
row to look for eggs. When the
eggs are first laid they are a
bright yellow. but before Matching
become much darker in color.
The most critical time to spray is
Just when the eggs are beginning
to hatch. The young beetles first
eat on the leaf where they hatch,
and soon afterward climb to the
tender leaves at the top of the
stem and spread over other parts
of the plant.
An insectitude which is last
gaining favor is arsenate of lead.
This poison is slower than Paris
green. but has some advantages
which make its use preferable. 1t
sticks firmly to the leaves and is
not washed off by light showers.
Enough will stick on the leaves
TO kill beetles weeks after the ap-
plication is made. There is no
danger of burning the leaves of
the plants if good grade of lead
is used. The farmer can use it as
strong as is necessary. 1T the
plants arc thoroughly sprayed
with this substance. at the rate of
eight pounds to a hundred gal
Ions of water. when the first eggs
hatch. the poison will remain on

* Jehovah, who shall sojourn

Who shall dwell in thy holy hill
: He that walketh uprightly, and
worketh righteousness.
And speaketh truth in his heart
3 He that slandereth not with
his tongue,
Nor doeth evil to his friend,
Nor taketh up a reproach
against his neighbor;
4 In whose eyes a reprobate is
despised,
But who honoreth them that
fear Jehovah;
He that sweareth to his own
hurt, and changeth not;
8 He that putteth not out his
money to interest.
Nor taketh reward against the
innocent.
He that doeth these things shall
never be moved.
