While commerce in this respect is seeking to save time, there are
other ways in which it is seeking to save expense regardless of time.

UP TO DATE DISEASES.

,xN7IE-- ONE days ago a French physician declared that avia-
fA ton accidents are due to defects of the human or
gansm rather than to any faults or flaws in the
~ flying machine. His argument was that the work
/. 30 ing of the heart and Of the lungs is disordered by
AA rapid motion; that the mind becomes ~bewndered.
and that as a consequence the aviator makes some confused move
mont that upsets the aeroplane.
$40 A somewhat similar view of the weakness of the human structure
has been taken by a number of physicians in Los Angeles, who have
diagnosed the malady of a girl in, that city as an enlargement of the
hart caused by excessive physical exercise. They call it "the athletic
heart" The girl is only six years old, but her heart is said to be as
large as that of a grown man.

coming. Aviation brains and athletic hearts will soon be as common

So Declares: State Pharmacy
Board III Report Made to
81 Association Today

Satisfactory progress has been
made during the past year in the
work of bettering the standard Of the
pharmaceutical profession in the
state according to the report of the
state pharmacy board. submitted to
the North Dakota Druggists associa-
ton at its meeting in this city today.
This report shows that there are 638
registered pharmacists in the state
with 127 registered assistants.
At the present time practically ev-
cry drug store operated in North Da-
kota is conducted under the direction
of registered pharmacist. That fact
in itself is one that is commented
upon In the boards report as being
worthy of more than passing inter-
est & # Isl.
During the past year there was one
prosecution, that being against a
Hillsboro man, and 1t has had a. sani-
tary effect. Costs of this prosecution
were paid, out of the boards fund.
There were 131 candidates exam
ined during the year, three meetings
for that purpose being held. Out of
that number, forty-three became reg
istered pharmacists, forty-four were
made assistants, and forty-four failed.
Six registered pharmacists were
admitted to practice in this state un-
der reciprocal arrangements.
Reciprocal arrangements have been
established with Maine, Massachu-
sets. District of Columbia, Indiana,
Michigan, Oregon, South Dakota, Ver-
mont, Oregon and Arizona.

REVOLUTION IN IMMIGRATION.

One Of the great changes likely to
be wrought in ocean transportation
by the completion of the Panama ca
nal Is the diversion of immigration
from the Atlantic to the Pacific side
Of the United States. While the Ellis
Island station will continue to handle
large numbers of new arrivals, it is
not at all improbable that it will
rank second in importance to the
Angel Island station, in San Fran
cisco bay, within a few years. AT
any rate. it is expected that the all
water route to our Pacific ports will
give great impetus to immigration
inasmuch as the present handicap OF
high railroad rates will be removed
while the coast states are preparing
to. offer inducements calculated Il
draw Europeans there in larger mum.

THE RAIN
General Fall in This Section
- Comes as End of State. :
Wide Downpour' ss'

Rains which fell over the northern
tier of counties in the Red river val
ley Monday evening, and during prac-
tically all of the night, came as the
conclusion Of a general rain which
moved westward over the state from
the Montana boundary.
The nights rain will have a very
healthful effect in many localities,
even in this district 1t betters the
outlook for heavy fax crop, that
grain, much of it late sown, being
much farther from maturity than is
wheat and other grains. This is par
ticularly true of the district lying
just outside of the territory includ-
ed in the Red river valley.
Pembina, Walsh, Cavalier, Nelson
and Grand Forks counties, as we'll as
Trail county, together with the coun-
ties bordering on the Red river in
Minnesota, all experienced good rains.
Conditions are made ideal in many
places by this fall of rain There was
already a sufficient supply of moist
ure to mature the wheat crop, while
the barley and oat crops have al
ready reached that stage.
Corn is in need of warm weather
at the present time, continuation of
cool weather for some time past hav-
ing resulted in delayed growth. How
ever, the return of warmer weather
will give that plant a good boost, es-
pecially with the soils big moisture

Inquiries and complaints are still
coming in regarding the grssshopper.
In some places the destruction has
been almost complete while in 9TH
ers 1t has bten only partial. The
time has now arrived when the grass
hoppers have conmen ed to lay their
eggs for next years brood and it is
none too early to begin to provide for
their destruction.
Wherever grssshoppers are found
in any number at the present time 1t
is safe to assume that they are lay
ing eggs The land selected for this
purpose Is ordinarily along the road
sides. They prefer firm soil free
from grass roots. Any grain field
provides an ideal condition.
Many OF the grasshoppers are in
tested with a red mite. 1t has been
thought by some that this would
destroy the grssshoppers but this 10
not wholly true A grasshopper that
is very badly infested will be some
what weakened by this parasite but
the chances are that the majority Of
them will lay the normal number Of
eggs.
The parasite as it is found upon
the grasshoppers is the larval form
of small red spider. Later in the
season as these larvae develop they
release themselves from the grass
hoppers and in the adult stage feed
upon the grasshopper eggs. Most
everyone fehas noticed early IN the
spring while working the gardens or
fields a very small bright red spider; |;

RED MITE NOT FATAL
TO THE GRASSHOPPFR

this is the adult form of the para
SITE This spider, as has been SAID,
feeds exclusively upon the eggs of
the grasshopper. At the same time
she lays about three hundred eggs
which hatch into the form which is
found upon the wings Of the grass
hopper during the summer. These
mites eventually become numerous
enough to reduce the number of the
grasshoppers to point where they
are not longer destructive, but this
may take two or three years and it
is not wise to allow our crops to be
destroyed by the grasshppers during
that period.
As has been stated before on sever
al occasions through the press of
the state, the one perfect remedy for
grasshoppers is to plow under their
eggs either in the fall or very early
In the spring. For this purpose the
plowing must be done to depth of
tnot elsse than FIVE inches Many Of
the farmers have complained that
even where the land was plowed the
grasshoppers are numerous. This is
due to the fact that the land was
only plowed two or three inches
deep. There are many other reasons
for blowing to depth of 1ve or SIX
inches, but the one that has been
mentioned should be suficient at this
thine.
The mean of Destroying these In
sects are so simple and so directly in
line, with our general practice oz
farming that there - no reason why
we should have any loss from this
