F'9TT'S BIG CELEBRATION
WAS A COMPLETE SUCCESS

Mott N. D, June 23.-The farmers
institute and celebration held at Mott
June II and % was one Of the largest
ana most successful meetings in that
part OF the state. After a band con-
cert the meeting was called to order
oy Mr.. Orr who extended a welcome
TO the visitors and said that Mott
realized that to make it growing
town 1t was necessary that the farm
ers IN the territory tributary should
Do in a prosperous condition. That
the prosperity of city depends on the
prosperity Of the farmers. Therefore.
they were anxious to help the farm
ers and that this farmers institute

soil Is moist, That If the soil is plow-
ed dry much Of the good that the
blowing should do was not brought
about. Also that fall blowing is the
best. To have enough moisture in the
soil to pillow properly in the fall it will
usually be necessary to disc the land
as soon as the crop is removed. This
In breaking up the hard crust and in
killing weeds saves enough moisture to
leave the soil quite moist.

SHADE TREES OF
FARGO in DANGER

The appearance of a soft, snow like
insect on the trees of Fargo during
the last few days has caused many
property owners a great deal of worry
regarding the future of their shade
trees.
In speaking with a representative
Of The Forum this afternoon Prof FL.
L. Bolley of the A. C. stated that the
soft. white worm that was seen on
the trees of the city was the cottony
scale and that there was cottony
scale for almost every kind of tree.
Professor Bolley said: 1.-THE white
snowy thing that one sees on the trees
is the old insect, being the female ami
NAL. Inside this are hundreds of little
eggs and when they are Matched out
they will be so small that one can
hardly perceive them with the naked
eye. They are especially noticeable on
the trees in dry weather.
zone can get rid of the cottony scale
by using the ordinary yard hose. The
finest stream that can be secured from
she hose should be turned on the tree
where the scale is. This stream will
then be of some force and will knock
OIL tile SCdlG OILQ kl4G EAOunAs IL Will
be impossible for them to climb back"
Professor Bolley advised the turning
of the stream onto the trees every
night and every morning. In this way
the scale will soon be gotten rid of
in very satisfactory manner.
Trouble at Forks.
The following is from The Grand
Forks Herald: To The Editor: The
insect, which may be seen at this sea-
son, doing great destruction among
trees, is a caterpillar, and during re-
cent years has done much damage to
many different varieties of trees, such
as box-e elder, elms cottonwood or
green ash. BY careful examination
you will see many Of the trees affected
at this time. Large lunches Of eggs
may be seen, which, in the course of a
few days will hatch out into little
caterpillars and in a very short period
OF time. will devour the foliage and
spread from one tree to another. The
consequence viii be that the trees will
die If not attended to,
If this trouble is allowed to run its
course, and the trees are not sprayed,
the Insects will hatch { second time. I
would also suggest, that anyone hav-
ing trees, look them over and ex
anime them carefully. Then spray
with a solution Of arsenate Of lead
two pounds to fifty gallons Of water,
al soon as they made their appear
ance. and as often thereafter as Isl
necessary. / have found this to be
very effective.
may further state this spraying
will make the trees white, but only
FOR i day OF so. Respectfully.
John Macdonald,
Supt Public Parks.
The above communication from Su-
nerintendent Macdonald, Of the park
system. yesterday, called attention to
the fact that especially In the south
ends. the box elder trees are literally
covered with little worm nests. These
rests are about the size Of g pea spun

dent Macdonald has had considerable
experience with these pests further
east, but never in this part of the
country. He says, however, that he
has used the remedy given in the
above communication successfully on
many occasions and it is up to the
residents of Grand Forks to get busy
IL the shade trees are to keep their
luxuriant foliage. Bugs, insects and
worms galore is one of the prices to be
paid for season with abundant rains
followed by fine warm weather.
Many residents have asked for in
formation regarding these little white
insect nests that have made their an
pearance in the box elders and now
that the information Is at hand. all
citizens should examine their trees and
act at once. Spraying now means that
the worms will be literally nipped In
the bud or rather on the twig ana an
ticipated damage will not materialize.
Neglect to act now Will mean a much
harder fight against the pests In a
week or so and much amage is bound
to result before they are exterminated

Just before retiring for the night the miner notices the Indian making some sort of a strange sign, and upon inquiring finds it is the sa- cred sign believed to carry with it good fortune. The next day a rich find of ore is made and this is attributed to the sign. Soon after, hostile In dians compel the white men to take to the stockade, but the Fl ospector's daughter is captured and carried to the red mems camp. They attempt to force her to disclose knowledge of the location of the new rich mine, and while they are preparing to tie her to a stake, she makes the mysterious sign of the Great Spirit. and the Indians fall upon the ground in amazement and at this point the white settlers close upon the little group of red men, but the girl is quickly handed over to her folks, and as a sign of peace the Indians bury the tomahawk, and the departing settlers see the red men q gain making the sign, this time over sbe buried tomahawk.
