stream gaging for the United States
geological survey in North Dakota and
eastern Minnesota, show that the av-
erage annual evaporation from Devils
lake is thirty-fiye inches and the to-
tai water supply from rainfall and run
off is twenty nine inches, leaving an
annual shortage Of six inches.
There has been much agitation rel
alive to draining the flood waters of
the Mouse river into Devils lake in
order to prevent further shrinkage,
but heretofore no definite idea as to
the feasibility of the proposition has
been secured.
The field urveys were made by j.
w. Bliss, assistant state engineer, and
a total of 1876 miles of levels were run,
the valleys of the Mouse, Sheyenne
and Wintering rivers were cross Sec
toned 1t various points and numerous
aneroid observations were taken to
determine elevations. The PROPOSE
ton to bring the Mouse river through
by the way of Willow creek and
through Hurricane lake was aban-
doned for the reason that the summit
between the Willow creek waters and
the waters running into Devils lake
was lis feet above the present water
surface of the lake. The present ele-
walton of the lake above sea level is
LAPS feet, and the elevation of the
Mouse river at the mouth of Willow
creek is the same as the lake, while it
was found that the elevation of the
liver at the mouth Of Wintering creek
is thirty feet higher than the present
elevation of the lake. 1t was also
found that the Sheyenne river at a
point six miles east of the town of
Sheyenne is twelve feet lower than

commodities such states as have a.
standard make it conform to that OF
the federal government.
Here is a list Of the United States
standard weights for all the commbsr
dities for which it has been estab-
lished: s- .- ...-
Barley, so; buckwheat, AZ; btu

flaxseed (linseed), Sc; malt, "a; oats,

wheat, so. ..
The table published by the bureau
of standards is valuable to the middle
man who deals with producers in
various parts of the country. It is also,
valuable to the statistician who may
want TO ascertain for example, the
difference in the cost Of living be-
tween certain localities. without
knowing accurately how much of "a
given product there is in a bushel the
ordinary man would be wholly al a
loss to know whether or not he was
getting like quantity for like money.
II the time arrives when goods are
sold by a universal standard through
out the union such a table as the one
just described will become unnecessary
Until then it is useful both to the pro-
Queer Of crops and the consumer.

Residential Sections.

When the owner of a tract of land
conceives the idea of creating a resi-
dence park, the first advice sought is
that of a real estate expert in this
class of work assisted by skilled
landscape engineers. Such men know
how to make the tract more beauti.
full. They know the value of curves:
they understand how to obtain ef-
fects that are pleasing and r%estful,
And SO the streets are curved, the
lots cut large and laid out to give
the best exposure and views: all
wires are laid in underground con.
duits, THUG avoiding unsightly poles
and overhead wires. The streets are
parked and terraced and set to grass
and suitable. shrubs and flowers.
When all this is done, the land is
offered for sale subject to building
restrictions. These restrictions are a
complete guarantee of security. They
safeguard the entire investment.
They reserve the entire residence
park exclusively for homes.

BEWARE THE TREE BUTCHER
indianapolis, Speaking from Expert.
ence, Sounds a Warning That Is
Well Worth Needing.

The influence Of the tree trimmer in
increasing the susceptibility of a tree
to 1nsect attack is often of more i'm
p%ortance than would appear at first
glance. Many trees are so weakened
by wanton butchery that they become
an easy prey to the various borers
that seldom attack vigorous trees.
While this v%andalistic form OF injury
is preventable it is surprising how
many people continue to allow the
tree butchers to ruin fine shade trees.
The tree butcher goes on p. 4. Bar.
NUNS old assumption that there is
a sucker born every minute" The
truth of this was well shown in In
dianapolis last year when. some
itinerant tree doctor" went about
painting the trunks of shade trees
with a dope" containing tar. Ac-
cording to the self.styled expert, the
preparation was absorbed through the
bark and then disseminated to all
parts of the tree, killing any bugs"
that might be present. When there
was no evidence OF any insect injury
the tree doctors would suggest the
s of the tar paint to open up the
pores of the bark and make the tree
healthy" 1t seems almost too alb
surd to believe that intelligent citt-
zen would be caught by such a fax
er, but even after a series Of news
paper warnings he succeeded in paint
ing hundreds of trees throughout the
city. The %deplorable thing about it
all is that practically every tree that

CITY GARDEN IDEA is GOOD
Baltimore, Seeing Success MInneapo.
lis Made, Will Follow In Sister
Clty's Footsteps.

It was recently mentioned as being
part Of the plans which the Women's
Civic League of Baltimore has in con
temptation that vacant lot farming is
to be encouraged. In almost every
city where this scheme of helpfulness
has been utilized the urban waste
places have been tried the results have
been satisfactory far beyond the ini.
tial hopes of those who have been in
strumental in putting the scheme into
operation. Minneapolis last year in
troduced the vacant lot garden scheme
with dazzling success. It not only
supplied many needy families with a
food supply, but it compelled a low
ering of the enormously high prices
demanded for vegetables by the re-
tailers.
Minneapolis has just about half the
population of Baltimore, and occupies
nearly double the ground space. 1t is
quite apparent, therefore, that there
r more vacant lots scattered about
in Minneapolis than in Baltimore. But,
all the same. there is a considerable
amount Of idle land, In -building-lot
sizes, distributed over Baltimore. In
the suburban sections particularly
there are many lots upon which build
ing improvements are not in immedi-
ate contemplation. In Minneapolis
and other cities many such idle lots
have willingly been loaned to the city
garden organizations.
These lots are given out in limited
assignments to families that will I'M
dertake to farm them. By judicious
management a considerable food sup.
ply can be grown on a small piece Of
land. For instance, on a strip of land
ten feet wide and twenty-one feet long
twenty-one tomato plants may be prop
erly planted. A single tomato plant
sometimes yields, during a season, a
bushel of tomatoes, and so a bit of
land ten by twenty feet may yield over
twenty bushels of this fruit. There
are other vegetables that give returns
in like proportions. The city garden
scheme is one which helps people to
help themselves.

THE SHADE TREES NOW.
State EntomoIooIst Of Indiana Warns
Against tho Deadly Ravagessof
the Red Spider.

G. H. Baldwin, state .entomologist
of Indiana, says that by taking ad-
vantage of the tree situation early
this year, Indianapolis owners of
shade trees may be able to prevent
much of the annual destruction due
to insects.
"As soon as the earth begins to
warm" Mr.. Baldwin said, "the tree
owner should band his trees with
some sticky material. This will ar
rest the upward movement Of the red
spider, one of the worst enemies OF
the shade tree, particularly the elm.
oak, linden and like trees. The
spider hibernates during the winter
In the earth at the roots Of the trees,
and as soon as warm weather sets in
energies and starts up the tree, there
to live all summer. The sticky band
will prevent his early spring journey.
"Of course there will be some red
spiders in the trees, because of eggs
laid there last summer, but the band
ing will do a lot toward saving the
trees,
The banding will remain on the
boles of the trees during the summer,
and will be valuable In preventing the
caterpillar, the bag worm moth and
the tussock moth from ascending the
trees and eating the leaves. OF course
there are many cocoons of these
moths in the trees now, but the band
ing will go a long way toward pre-
serving the foliage and saving the
trees. BY removing the cocoons in
the trees, the moths a virtually be
eradicated, If the banding is done.
The tussock moth is especially dan.
gerous to trees In Indianapolis, be.
cause of the great number Of the in.
sects here"
