SWAT CHINCH BUGS NOW.
Prof. S. j. Hunter Says Get Them on
Way to Corn Field.

Lawrence, June 19.-'Get the chinch
bugs now. before they have wings;
starve them before they go from the
wheat into the corn,'' is the advice
Prof. s. j. Hunter Of the entomology
department of the University Is giving
out to the Kansas farmers.
while We have had few reports of
chinch bugs in the state. preventive
measures taken now will greatly de-
crease any chances Of loss II the farm
ers will use a plan followed out last
year at this time by Fred Laptad, a
farmer north of Lawrence.
Around his corn fields Laptad
ploughed a furrow. Then taking a
heavy drag in the shape OF a water
trough with the ends OF, with sides two
feet wide. brought the freshly ploughed
furrow up into tall ridge. In the hot
weather the bugs could not crawl owed
the ridge, or died in the hot dust on its
sides.
I'm case the ground is wet. drive
around the corn field in buggy and in
the buggy tracks pour No. road oil.
The buggy tracks will keep the Oil from
scattering and enable the farmer to
guard his entire field at slight expense.
The bugs will not cross the oil furrow.
Laptad used both Of these methods on
his corn field and saved his CROP"

Important Trade Center
Three Towns Have Railroads.

Quinter, June 19.-This town main
tains fully accredited high school.
1t has met with deserved success um-
der the man cement OF Supt. r. M.
Sutcliff. 1t is well patronized by
Cove county SIT dents. and its popu-
larity is increasing. Three churches,
Presbyterian, Dunkard and Methodist.
are literally supported, and together
with the school, have been a factor
in building up the town and given
Quinter a eminent position on the
map.
ouinter is in Cove county. 1t has
been and now is an important grain
and trade centor. The Dunkard set
Elements are principally tributary to
Quinter. The people are industrious
farmers, living in good homes, with
roOmy barns. and are large wheat
growers. They own a commodious
church here, and considerable prop
erty. They have been a big help in
the development OF Cove county.
Ready for Harvest.
The farmers of this section of
Cove county are ready for the har-
vest. A big rop will be tributary to
Quinter; while some OF the acreage
was hit hard by winds, the wheat
sold than ever before in her history.
The crops were short last year.
This year will more than make it up,
besides the thousands OF dollars paid
out annually to the farmers for their
cream and poultry and eggs thrown
in for good easure.
Cove County Prosperous.
Quinter, Grainfield and Buffalo
Park are the railroad towns. Three
newspapers ere printed in the county.
Cove City is of the railroad but con-
tents itself because it is the county
seat.
Quinter is well supplied with busi-
ness houses. There are two lumber
yards. a newspaper, a bank, hotel and
three restaurants, two drug stores,
hardware and Implements, two eleva-
tors. mammoth produce house, and
several smaller trade avocations, and
many farmers come to town to trade
in autos rather than in horse vehicles.

RAH RAH HARVE.STERS.
Three Out of -Four X. S. A. G. Me-
VIII Go in Fields.

Manhattan, Kan, June 19.-More
than $4,000 worth Of work will be
done in the Kansas wheat fields this
summer by boys who are in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college this
spring. The farmers are eager to hire
college men for harvest hands; they
have tried them before and found
them excellent workers. Some Of the
young men have wheat crops OF their
own to harvest, and are taking a crew
OF their friends home with them to
do the work. Some Of the farmers
who have sons in college are commits
sioning them to hire the harvest help.
About three out Of four Of the col
lege men tell you that they will har-
vest this summer. Probably 700 Of the
1000 young men attending this insti-
tuition this spring have such plans.
This little army of workers will earn
and receive more than $500 q day.
and in most places the harvest lasts
at least ten days.

Mr.. Steen of Rugby, who is can
idate for state treasurer, informed the
Independent on his visit to Minot the
other day that owing to the fact that
he is a candidate, he had not lined up
for anybody for governor. This is
very proper, but the Independent has
heard from a half dozen different
sources since that Mr.. Steen and his
friends are strong for Burdick and
that Burdick in turn has declared for
Steen. Both Burdick and Steen have
perfect right to form a mutual ad-
miration society if the desire, but if
this is the case, Steen should not COM
plain if he fails to get his share of the
Hanna support. It's a wise plan for
candidate this year to paddle his own
canoe. Burdick has declared openly
for Gronna for United States Senator,
while Gronna has written to several of
Mr.. Hanna's friends saying that he
has not lined up for anyone for COVER
nor.

Two years ago couple of Lisbon
lads grew 2 1-2 acres of tomatoes and
canned them. The next year they con-
tracted with farmers to grow ten acres
and canned them, selling the product
at big profit. This year they have
contracted for 300 acres of sweet corn
and it is said the farmers will realize
from $25 to $50 an acre on the pro-
duct. Numerous canning plants will
be established in the state before many
years roll around. Here is a good op-
portunity for some live Minot man.

The Independent understands that
the I. w. WIS are planning on invad-
ing North Dakota again this summer.
John Conroy, who claims to be an or
ganizer, said: at is our intention to
have organizers in every county, in
each locality and especially among the
larger farmers. In July, August and
September, when the proper time
comes, we intend to make Mr.. Farmer
dance to our music or there will be a
strike that will leave the grain rotting
in the fields" The Independent pre-
diets that if the I. w. WIS start things
in North Dakota again this year, the
farmers will furnish some music that
will not be altogether pleasant. Our
farmers have trouble enough without
being pestered by lot of worthless
lazy hoboes.

SWAT THE ANCESTORS.

To make St. Louis fyless city it is
only necessary that we quit breeding
flies. And in order to do this but two
things are needful--to destroy the
breeding places and to kill off the IRE.
serve stock" which has come through
from last year.
The thing that makes the fly the un.
iversal pest he is, is the rapidity with
which the fly harvest increases on the
soil. One fly lays $50 eggs day. 1t
takes but few days for the $50 eggs
to pass through the larva and pupa
states and come out as adult flies, all
the females of which are ready to go
to work laying each $50 eggs day.
Statistics are bore but the weather
is cool and the question important. Let
us see what would result in the way of
daily increase in the crop of flies from
just one days work of just one female
fly after but two broods had come to
maturity. And let us suppose that of
the $50 flies produced by our one fly
one-half are females and two-thirds of
these are swatted in infancy. This
would leave twenty-five fertile flies,
each laying $50 eggs daily-3,750 eggs
a day. Now let US take just one days
work of these $3.50 flies, supposing
again that one-half are females and
that thirds of them die. This
would leave 625 fertile females, each
producing $50 eggs day - 93,750
eggs. Now, mind you, these 93,750
eggs would represent simply the ac-
Invites of the fertile grandchildren, re-
sulting from one days egglaying Of
one female fly.
In other words, if one female fly
were to lay her usual number of eggs
one day and then die and if from the
$50 eggs so produced there were to de-
velop twenty-five female flies, each of
which should lay for on day and then
die; if from this second brood of eggs
there should result one female out of
every six, there would be 625 female
flies, laying 93,750 eggs every day as
the result.
1t is easy enough to understand how
"swarms of flies" so easily appear
where filth invites. A half dozen fe-
male flies and hospital garbage cans
or manure heaps are all that is neces-
sary.
He who would swat we'll must swat
early. He shall be helpless against
the grandchildren of the early fly. Our
only chance is to swat their ancestors.

The writer enjoyed a ride to Mork
Lake, twenty miles southwest of Mi
not, Sunday, and we make a positive
statement that we passed over one of
the very finest stretches Of country
that lies in Ward county. The farm
ers all seem to be vieing with each
other to build the finest homes. There
are large barns, neat, we'll painted
houses, and number of choice groves.
Greater care seems to have been TAX
en- in putting the fields in first class
condition than ever. Most of the wheat
seeding is done. Some of the wheat is
up, but that sown last will be right up
and a coming with the earliest sown.
The only field planted to corn was
noticed at the Ole Den farm. Most of
the farmers have nice herds of mich
cows and there is general aspect Of
prosperity everywhere.

Several of the state officials who are
candidates for reelection seem to have
clear sailing. That Thos. Hall, Secre-
tary of State, will be reelected is a
foregone conclusion. He has held the
office one term and has conducted it in
such manner that the least criticism
cannot be made. Walt Taylor, Insur-
ance Commissioner, has no opposition
in the primaries and will have walk
away in the November election. IN
doubtedly, he is the best insurance
commissioner the state has ever had.
Carl Jorgenson, state auditor, will go
in again with colors flying. Governor
Hanna is as good as reelected. Con-
sentative estimates give him a clear
majority of 10000 over his opponent,
and he's growing stronger daily.

NOT THE MAN FOR THE JOB.

In receivig the announcement that
r. F. Flint, present dairy commission
er, who aspires to the office of COM
missioner of agriculture and labor, we
believe big mistake has been made.
1t is generally known that Mr.. Flint
would not have been a candidate for
this office had the present incumbent
stayed in the field, and the more the
political situation is looked into, the
more we are convinced that the actions
of Flint have come about as the re-
suit of we'll concocted scheme to ham
die the office of commissioner of agri-
culture from a political point of view.
Just word for Mr.. Flint and his
dairy work.
It is a recognized fact that the
dairying problem in this state has
been hard one to deal with. This
work has been directly under the sup
ervision of "Bob" Flint, who has
brought about some excellent results.
Our state is just in its infancy in the
dairying business and to take Flint
from this work would prove very
serious loss to our state at this time.
There is no other industry that needs
more careful attention and manage
ment than that of dairying and Flint
has proven himself the right man in
the right place.
As to whether Tom Jones or Bill
Smith should be elected to the office
of commissioner of agriculture, it is
our firm belief that Flint should be re-
tanned as dairy commissioner, for now,
at this period of advancement in North
Dakota, is the time we need him most.
It is to be regretted that he has al
lowed his name to be brought out for
another office, which he probably
could fill equally as we'll as that of
dairy commissioner, but there is a SER
ious question as to whether another
man could be found in the state to
care for the needs of the farmers in
the problems of dairying. There is
a crying need rampant everywhere to
build up the dairying industry, and
that is just the thing that this man
Flint is doing and the effects of his
work are now being felt.
"Bob" Flint would serve the people
of North Dakota best by keeping out
of the race and keeping up his good
work as dairy commissioner.-M Mott
