>coTToNY MAPLE SCALE

Those who have any concern for the
beautiful box elder trees in Valley
City will be interested to note the APP
pearance of the cottony maple scale
at this time Of year.
The parent insect has spun her large
ball of cottony material, which has
raised the rear end of the scale. In
this cotton has now been deposited
great quantities of eggs which are
small flesh colored objects. Soon
they will hatch and swarm out
over the leaves of the trees to suck
the sap from the more tender parts
Of the tree.
This scale is very conspicuous now
and can be seen on the box elders on
Fifth avenue, especially at the Shey-
enne Flats and at the Richie school
building. Fl
There are only two alternatives for
trees badly infested; these are sure

CITY MEN WILLING TO WORK ON
OUR FARMS.

In the current issue of Farm and
Preside appears an editorial entitled
Willing Farm Hands," in which some
interesting facts about farm labor are
presented by Leonard G. Robinson, gen
eral manager Of the Jewish Agricul-
tural Aid Society of New York City.
Following is an extract:
"Mr. Robinson's labor bureau has
not experienced and difficulty in get
ting good hands from the cities. He
has not found it difficult to find among
the city's unemployed. men who are
both willing to work and able to earn
good wages. Their Discrimination to
work. says he, has been very much
exaggerated. All one needs to con-
vince himself of this is to visit one of
the farm-labor bureaus conducted by
the national and state governments,
philanthropic organizations. and pri-
vate agencies
AT the Office Of his own labor bu-
reau, he says, there are always plenty
Of applicants for work-young Jew
ish men anxious for an opportunity to
work on the farm. Some few have
farming experience while some pos
sess none. But they are intelligent
sober, alert, and Of good physique He
tells of the quickness with which these
'greenhorns' learn farm work. One
farmer says that the green hand sent
him knew how to milk the cows on the
third day, and to harness and hitch
up horses. In conclusion Mr.. Robin.
son asserts that the greatest difficulty
his society experiences is to find
places for the good men who wan
work, rather than to find the men. 1r
his opinion there are more hands VIII,
would make good than there are jobs.
