Poison Cut Worms Says SEVERN.

Brookings.-"Give the cutworms
poisoned bait" says Professor H. G..
SEVERN, of the State college, in an
swering inquiries regarding methods
of handling the cutworm pest which
is threatening in many parts of South
Dakota this spring. One method is
to poison clover or alfalfa with Paris
green or other a%rsenite, using one
pound Of poison to so gallons of water.
The clover or alfalfa is then moved
and spread in little heaps all over the
field infested with cutworms, prefer
ably before the corn, potatoes or
other crops have appeared above the
ground. The cutworms will, of course,
be forced to eat the poisoned bait,
to their own destruction. Professor
SEVERN also recommends a mixture
Of II pound Of Paris green, or a sim
iliar amount of white arsenic with
% to 35 pounds of dry wheat bran, a
quart Of cheap molasses diluted with
two or three gallons of water. This
bait should be scattered over the
fields in little heaps as near evening
as possible. In the garden place a
tablespoonful of this matrial at the
base Of each plant. Professor Sever
in estimates that ten pounds of the
mash will suffice for one acre Of po-
tatoes. Further information regard
ing the treatment of insect pests and
other troublesome features in farming
may be obtained by inquiry from the
State college at Bookings.

Wolf Bounty Case.
Rapid City.-Through the disappear.
ance of James Drysdale, the princi-
pal witness for the prosecution in the
wolf bounty fraud case against F. R.
x. Hewlett. the case has been indefi-
nitely postponed. Drysdale, who was
an employee Of hewlett. dropped out
Of sight and is thought to be headed
Tor Canada. For the same reason the
other cases against Auditor John Fall
and Deputy Auditor David Fail,
charged with having obtained money
under false pretenses, were continued.

Kaolin Claims Staked Out.

Gregory.-The discovery OF the
kaolin mine in Trip county at first
failed to awake any very great deal of
enthusiasm from the residents Of this
territory. Nearly everyone viewed
with suspicion the announcement of
this discovery. But since they have
had time to fully realize the value of
these mines, the lard in the vicinity
OF the first filing has been eagerly
snapped up by the residents Of Tripp
county, and there is very little of the
Mills left that show the least signs
of containing he mineral. Placer
claims have been staked out and the
fortunate claimholders are now impa.
tiently waiting for the time when they
can work their claims. There is but
n other mine of this kind in the
United States, that being located In
Florida, consequently there is quite
a demand for the mineral. Most OF it
now used in the United States is i'm
ported from Europe.
