THE BUFFALO "TREEHOPPER
By
Prof. H. C. SEVERN
E~tomologist
S. D. State College

The injury to the bark between each
pair of curved Sits does not heal i'm
mediately, and consequently the
growth is stopped at this point and
an oval or circular scar results. This
scar increases in size with each sea-
sons growth and the resulting limb
becomes rough and gnarly. Such
limbs are easily broken by the wind
and serve az attractive areas for bor-
ers. Repeated injury year after year
will weaken, dwarf, and deform the
trees.
The eggs remain in the twigs over
winter and hatch into nymphs the
following spring, the month of May
and the early part Of June being the
normal Matching period in South Da-
kOta. The nymphs are curious crea-
lures, yellow or brown in appearance
and varying in length according to
age from slightly less than one-eighth
to three-eights of an inch. Extend
ing along the back of the nymph are
a series of small branching spines.
The duration of the nymphal period is
about fifty days, and during this time
these insects are feeding for the great.
er part on succulent weeds and plants,
the juice of which is essential for
their s%ustenance. The nymphs can
not complete their development on the
| woody tissue Of apple trees.

The history class OF the sixth grade

a Friday afternoon program soon
after. All numbers on the program
were to bear on the war, SO as to fix
its importance in the minds OF the
pupils.
The boys Of the class were assigned
to dramatic some part of General
W~ashington's life during the war.
They selected washington at Valley

the middle of July until the first heavy
frost OF autumn. In general the sap of
trees and shrubs serves as food for

LEPER HAS A PRIVATE CAR
Charles Wolgren Deported by Chi.
cago to Sweden-Journey 10
Kept a Secret.

Chicago.-After a trip OF q thou
sand miles. riding in state in a pri-
vate a that cost the United States
government $3.50, and surrounded with
all the exclusiveness Of a millionaire,
Charles Wolgren, the leper who has
been living in the Cook county hos
pftal in Chicago for more than two
months. is on board an Atlantic liner
In New York harbor and will sail for
Sweden. his native land.
His departure from Chicago, his
trip to New York and his removal
from his private car to the steamer
were surrounded with all possible
secrecy, due to the acute fear of
leprosy that dates back many CEN
turtles before the Christian era, and
which today Is much alive in the
United States as it ever was among
the ancients.
Railroad officials were induced to
take the passenger only on the pay
ment Of a high tariff, and they stipu-
lated that his movements should not
be given publicity.
The governors Of six states were
asked to give their permission that
Wolgren cross their respective do
mains. They complied and held their
peace.
Several Of the officials Of the Cook
county hospital were engaged in the
planning. but Warden w. o. Chap
nan was anxious to lose a boarder
who required such extra care and
who apparently might stay a charge
IN the taxpayers for years, and he
say to It hat silence was enforced.
Two men were detailed to accom-.
pany Wolgren in his private car.
They were George E. Schubert, a
deportation officer attached to the
Chicago immigration Office, and c. d.
Creighton, a Cook county hospital
nurse, who acted as attendant.

Pierre. S. D.-The state highway
commission has issued the following
statement:
This commission regards it apprO
pirate to publish the letter from the
office of Good Roads. Washington, ID
c.. addressed to the chairman of this
commission.
On country roads the cost of haul
ing is % cents and Z mills per ton
per mile. Take for example an aver
age load OF wheat OF rs bushels at sc
pounds per bushel equals $500 pounds
or two and one-quarter tons. Multi
ply the two and one-Quarter tons by %
cents and Z mills brings the cost to
81 cents per mile for the load. For a
10-mile haul the cost is $50, which
is about the prevailing charge for man
and team per day In our state.
On railroads the average cost Is
seven one-hundredths of a mill per ton
per mile.
On the ocean the cost is three one
thousandths of a mill per ton per mile
to take u grain from New York TO
Liverpool, England. Exceeding cheap
