GREEN WORMS DESTROYING
THE RUSSIAN THISTLE

Bert Rygmyr, a prominent young
farmer from brady, brouhgt to this
Office Monday several specimens of
Russian thistles that had been al,
most eaten up by green worms an
inch long. He also brought in num-
er of the worms. He stated that the
worms had made their appearance
during the last day Of two, and up to
that time, had destroyed none Of the
grain. There are just millions OF them
on the Russian thistles on land that
was left for summer following and
they cleaned out patch Of Russian
thistles eighty rods long in two days.
One farmer noticed them In . field
that be was blowing and they LETT that
field and attacked lot Of thistles
across the road. Mr.. Rygmyr was a.:
a loss to know where they came from,
the name pf the- worms. and he was
worrying little, for fear that they
might attack the grain later on. He
thought that they might prove . God
send If they attack only Russian
thitles as the country is pretty Will
infested with those weeds.

school. F. A. Hancock was the low
est bidder for the general construction

Construction Co., st. Paul, $35, 800;
