HOW TO KILL LAWN BUGS.
Various Ways Suggested to New York
: Botanical Garden Expert.

In answer to call published In the
New York Times DIR. w. A. Murrill,
acting director OF the New York botan.
ical garden. received interesting sug-
gestiOns relative to the determination
of white grubs that have killed many
Of the lawns in New York and vicinity
by cutting the roots OF the grass be-
meath the sod.
II is thought the worm may be crush
ed by watering the lawns and rolling
them with heavy horse roller. Pol
son IL said to be effective. but for i'm
mediate effects on badly injured lawns
II Is probably best In the fall to plow
and SOW at once the infested areas with
three quarts of white clover seed to the
acre. DR.. Murrill Is informed that the
mature beetles. usually called May bee
ties or June bugs, may be captured
when they emerge from the ground In
the late spring or early summer, at the
end of the third year of their develop
ment, by placing tubs of water con
| tanning a little kerosene at various
points on the lawn with lanterns sus
pended above them. The insects are
attracted In swarms by the lights and
finally fall into the tubs, where they
are killed by the kerosene. One ad
vantage of this method lies In the fact
that lawn may be protected no mat
ter where the insects originate nor how
abundant they may be.

THE LITTLE
PAY
BY C. c. B0wSFIELD

Heavy soil underlaid with porous sub
soil or sandy soil underlaid with nom
porous subsoil Is the proper combina-
ton.
Taking the great run Of soils the
country over, phosphorus, calcium and
humus are the only materials neces-
sary TO add to them.
Calcium is supplied best In form OF
ground limestone: phosphorus In the
form of basic Stag phosphate or phos-
phate rock: the hunns by the green
manures. grasses and farm manure.
Here are some of the crop require
ments:
Gralns.-NItrogen, phosphorus.
Potatoes.-Nitrogen.
Sugar Beets.-Nitrogen. phosphorus.
calcium, potassium.
Peas. Clover. Alfalfa.-C Calcium, phos-
phorus. potassium.
Beans.-Phosphorus. potassium. cal
clum.
Soils which hold moisturesdo not lack
nitrogen. The drier soil may be. as
n rule, the greater Is the lack of nitro
gen.
The dry soil remains po0' in. humus
In moist spots the soil is darker and
humus content increased.
The heavy clay soils require heavier
dressing OF phosphorus and tighter
dressing OF nitrogen, while on the dry
soil the reverse is true. Wet. cold
soils are for the most p'rt poor in
potassium.
With few plain principles like these
before them farmers ought 10 be able
TO go forward and increase production
on their land 30 to 100 per cent. Plans
OF crop rotation should bring wheat
after corn. clover after wheat Zone or
two years. and potatoes after clover
Cowpeas. sugar beets, trr'nips and
similar crops ought to have a place In
the rotative scheme.

Here II the incentive to raise reasona.

whereas Il ought to be 100. The potato
average is 100 bushels. but It ought to

There must be the right succession OF

ing proportion between grass land and

While these facts are vital to all pro-
ducers. II seems to have become the
duty Of the small farmer to blaze the
way for more intensive and scientific
kind OF agriculture.
The use Of a large amount OF manure
does not necessarily mean bigger yields

JOHN FHR
RAISES HOGS
FARMER TELLS
HOW HE is MAKING MONEY
FROM PORKERS IN NORTH DA-
KOTA - SOME INTERESTING
FACTS ABOUT STOCK.

John Ehr told us few things
about the hog business that opened
our eyes. John owns 600 acre farm
in the valley few miles west Of Mi
not and he has been spending the past
season working on the place as hard
as any hired man would dare.
81 have been trying to figure out
just how well farming can be made to
pay in North Dakota" Mr.. Ehr said
"and I have come to the conclusion
that it's easy to make money on the
farm if one goes at it right. Just as
an illustration: l bought three hogs
two years ago and four more last
spring. From those seven hogs,
sold the past season $500 worth Of
hogs and have "a of the best ones
left. l sold one the other day that
weighed 76O pounds which brot me
over $50 at the rate of Z cents a
pound. I have pigs farrowed last
May that will weigh 250 pounds now
All summer long these pigs ran out
and fed them a little ground barley
1 have been feeding them corn for
about a month. l don't think that il
pays to keep many hogs thru the win
ter. You can add weight to them
but not at much of a profit. It is
easy to make May pig weigh zoo
pounds or over by Nov. |, which is
the time to market it. Of course it's
nice to have corn, but you can fatten
them we'll on ground barley. l raised
|35 acres of corn last summer that ma
tured perfectly, and now am feeding
it to my stock.
II keep quite number of horses
on the farm. Have AZ all told, more
than half Of them being. mares. !
broke 21 horses myself during the
summer. go
my farm is too large for a stock
farm. Two hundred acres are enough.
One doesn't want to4sgrow any grain
except what is needed for feeding.
Farmers needn't tell me they can't
get into the hog business. Any farm
er can get a start with three or four
hogs and in a year or so he can have
them all about his farm"
Mr.. Ehr makes a speciality Of Chester
White hogs but says any good breed
will show 9 bi genough profit if han
died right.

SHERIFF ERICKSON
ATTORNEY GENERAL MILLER
THINKS SHERIFF ERICKSON
DID NOT USE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS TO SAVE THE LIFE
OF CLEvE CULBERTSON.

Attorney General Andy Miller has
been at Williston most Of the week
investigating the facts concerning the
lynching Of Cleve Culbertson. He is
working in conjunction with States
Attorney Burdick and an effort is be-
ing made to locate the members of
the mob, who will be summarily dealt
with if caught. The Attorney General
SCOTS at the idea Of the mob's coming
from Canada. He believes that the
members were from the vicinity of
Williston and Ray.
Miller believes that Sheriff Erickson
did not take proper precautions for
the safety Of Culbertson, because it
was known that mob had been
threatening to lynch the prisoner a
day or two before the deed actually
occurred.
He believes that Erickson could
have spirited the prisoner away.
Miller asks for the resignation Of the
sheriff and states that unless the res
ignation is handed in at once, he will
be removed by the Governor and 9th
er authorities in accordance with a
law passed by the recent Legislature.
Erickson is Socialist and members
of the party are much exercised over
the attitude of the attorney general.

The trial of Sims and the case

Edmonton, Alta, Dec. 22. - In
search of a woman whom he alleged
kidnapped his two children, man
giving the name of Johnson spent
many weeks in three western United
states cities and then located her in
Edmonton, and law firm has been
instructed to start legal proceedings
to have the children restored to their
father.
The woman in the case was once
the wife of the man who has been
searching for her since last July, but
he secured decree of divorce from
her in the courts of North Dakota.
Armed with several legal docu-
ments, johnson and deputy sheriff
of Ward county, North Dakota, who,
by chance happened to be his brother,
arrived here ten days ago and until
yesterday they searched over the en-
tire city in an endeavor to locate the
woman he once called his wife.
The deputy sheriff had a North Da-
kota warrant empowering him to seize
the children from the woman's care,
but this can only be executed in that
state. However, they may prove suf-
ficient evidence for the courts in this
city to release the two children, who
are now under the care Of the chill

miles north of Eckman, NJ D., was
found dead in his barn early Saturday
morning, with bullet hole thru his
forehead. His revolver, with which
the act had been committed, was w.

1t is believed that Gill committed
suicide, altho the position of the gun,
and the manner in which the mans
head was held between the hands,
have led many to suspect that there
might have been foul play.
Gill had spent the day at Eckman
and returned late at night He did
not go into the house upon his return.
1t is said that he had been addicted
to the use of strong drink and that he
had been drinking that day.
