FLECK-STEINER

The marriage of Miss Mary Fleck
to Mr.. Leo Steiner occurred on Mon
day morning, September q, at st.
Mary's Monastery, Richardton. The
ceremony being witnessed by immedi-
ate relatives Of the contracting par
ties.
Following the church services, a
reception was given at the home of
the bride, a number of relatives and
friends being invited for the occasion.
The happy couple were the recipients
of many useful presents from their
many friends.
The bride is a well known young
lady of Richardton and is a sister of
Mrs. Constantin Steiner. The groom
is widely known in Hettinger and
Stark counties. 70 visit the Boston
store and not see Leo, would be a
mishap, as he has been on deck every

three years ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Steiner are expected
to arrive in Mott on Saturday and
will make their future home in our
town, having leased the Smith prop
erty on Piety HilL-Mott Spotlight.

YOUR FARM VALUE

An exchange item reads as follows:
How much an acre can you get for
that farm, or how much a you
realize on your house and lot in
town? Fair price, Ell? Well, just
suppose every store in this town
should be suddenly closed up and
moved away, what would your farm
or town property bring on the mark
ct then? Your own intelligence tells
you that the nearer a piece of prop
erty is to a live and prosperous town
the more valuable that property be-
comes. Now, just why do you try
to kill off the life and prosperity OF
this town and reduce the value OF
your own holdings by sending your
money out of town for goods you can
buy just as cheaply at home? Per
haps you can see some wisdom IN
such a course, but we can not, and we
have viewed the question conscienti'
ously from every angle.

A TWICE-TOLD TALE
One of Interest to Our Readers.

Good news bears repeating, and
when it is confirmed after a long
lapse of time, even if we hesitate to
believe it at first hearing, we feel Sc
cur in accepting it's truth now: The
following experience of a Dickinson
man is confirmed after several years:
w. Schwartz, Dickinson, says:
"About a year ago I wrenched my
back. Shortly afterward I began to
suffer from kidney complaint. My
back grew so weak that I was un-
able to lift even the lightest weight.
Often sharp, piercing pains darted
through my kidneys and I suffered
from a constant, dull, throbbing ache
across my back. After using various
remedies without success, I at last
had the good fortune to hear about
Doan's Kidney Pills and got a box.
continued taking them until the back
ache, languor and other symptoms of
the trouble had disappeared. Since
then I have had no kidney trouble. I
gladly confirm my former endorse
ment."

SHERIFF JOHNSON URGES
PAYMENT OF TAXES

Editor Slope Go. News:-May I use
the columns of your paper to impress
upon taxpayers of this county the adj
visibility of paying their personal
property taxes before they are turned
over to the sheriff for collection.
This year has been a prosperous year
for every taxpayer in the county and
the plea of poor crops cannot be set
up as an excuse for the non-payment
of taxes this year, therefore we will
expect to collect all the delinquent
taxes this fall, and the man who waits
to pay his taxes to the sheriff may
find that he is simply inviting extra
expense by forcing the county to COL
lect his taxes by distraint. Even
though no distraint be made an ex-
ira dollar, enough to pay the interest
on ten dollars for a period of one
year, is added to the tax as a sheriff
fee. According to the last. report of
the county treasurer the number of
delinquents for the year 1914 numb
ers in the neighborhood of five hun
dred seventy-fve. Each one of these
individuals car save one dollar on the
oAA1OullC VI LIE CoACo Wy paying oAi
before October IS, which means a
total saving of $575.OO in all.
This office is expected to collect all
delinquent taxes after October Is
and to make a complete report on the
first day of the January following and
we feel that if ever taxes ought to
be paid promptly that they should be
SO paid this year and we will be re-
luctant to accept excuses for non
payment of same Immediately after
the first notices are sent out from this
office after receipt of the 1914 taxes
from the county treasurer.
Hoping that the above may be of
profit to readers Of your paper and
assuring you it is written with the
intention of saving the delinquent tax
payer unnecessary expenses.
I am, sincerely yours,
w. J. johnson,
Sheriff of Slope County.

TO KILL THE HESSIAN FLY

Fall blowing, early spring blowing
or burning the stubble will according
to Professor C. B. Waldron, of the
North Dakota Experiment Station,
prevent the Hessian fly from living
over to attack next years wheat
crop. He further states that the
presence of the Hessian fly is indi-
Gated by the breaking over Of some
Of the straws just above the second
joint, just as the wheat is ripening.
Most of the broken straws are
smaller than those that the insects
have not attacked and the heads con-
tain a small amount of grain. Durum
wheat suffers the least. The only
other crops attacked are rye and bar
ley.
To find the Hessian fly now, strip
back the leaf from the stem of a
wheat stubble that is bent at the Sec
ond joint and just above the second
joint will be found a aax-seed like
body only a little longer and pointed
This will develop into a Hessian fly
next April or May. The adult Hes
sian fly resembles a mosquito, but is
much smaller, being only one tenth Of
an inch in length. It lives but three
or four days, still it lays from 200
to $50 eggs. It appears late in April
or May, lays it's eggs on the young
wheat plants that develop into the
1ax-seed stage in which form it goes
through the winter and comes out
the following April or May. A wet
warm season is favorable to the de-
velopment of the insect.
Since the Hessian fly winters in
wheat stubble, fall blowing, early
spring blowing or burning the stub
bic will put an end to them. Fields

COUNTY AUDITOR PINCHED

E. C. Roberts vas made to loosen
up to the extent of a ten dollar fine
while at Hebron last week. 1t ap-
pears that the local authorities,
backed by a state law, have passed a
village ordinance covering speeders
and running cars without displaying
the license tag. It was under the
latter section that the county auditor
was pinched. The whole game
looked like a frame-up as MIR. Rob-
erts had his tags with him in the car
at the time, but the long whiskered
justice could e nothing but ten
shining simoleons for the village
treasury that evidently is in a de-
pleted condition. Roberts immedi-
ately became an optimist, plead guilty,
told the justice he was short of cash,
the justice took a check and as luck
seemed to follow, the county auditor
arrived home ahead of the check, etc.,

TENT CATERPILLAR CONTROL

%pepredations Are Widespread-Efse-
tive Measures Described.
Prepared by the United States depart
ment of Agricultural
A very familiar sight In the spring is
the unsightly nests or tents of the tent
| caterpillar, found in trees or bushes
| along the roadways, streams, fences, in
| neglected orchards and elsewhere.
These gregarious caterpillars con
| struct the tents for their protection,
and these, at first small, are gradually
| enlarged often to q foot or more in
| height and diameter, the size varying
| with the number Of individuals in the
colony.
Species Of the tent caterpillar are
found quite generally ove the entire
United States. The moths deposit
| their eggs by early midsummer, or ear
lier in the south. BY fall the embry-
| onic larva is practically full grown
| within the eggs, where it remains until
| the following spring. With the coming
of a warm spell the larvae escape by
gnawing through their eggshells often
before there is foliage out for food, and
under these circumstances they may
feed upon the glutinous covering Of the
egg mass.
The tent caterpillar feeds principally
on wild cherry and apple trees, but
will attack many other plants, and
where such trees can be removed with
out disadvantage this should be done,
thus lessening its food supply.
During the dormant period Of trees,
when the leaves are off, the egg masses
The Dickinson press., 1915-09-18

TREE
are fairly conspicuous, and with a little
practice may be readily found; it is
then that they should be cut off and
burned. Trees infested with larvae
during the early part of the year, or
those in the immediate vicinity, are
perhaps more likely to be chosen by
the parent moth for the deposition of
her eggs, and such trees at least should
be searched if it is not practicable to
extend the work to the orchard as a
whole. This work may be combined
with pruning to good advantage, and a
lookout should be kept not only for the
Eggs of this insect, but for the eggs
and cocoons of other injurious species
which pass the winter on the trees.
When two egg masses are deposited
close together, the resulting caterpillars
may form a common nest These nests
are gradually enlarged and soon fur
nish ample protection. If the cater
pillars are destroyed as soon as the
| small nests are detected, this will pre-
| vent further defoliation of the trees,
and the rule should be adopted to de-
| stroy them promptly as soon as dis
| covered. In this work either Of two
practices may be adopted, namely, de-
struction by hand or with a torch.
When in convenient reach. the nests
may be torn out with a brush, with
gloved hand, or otherwise, and the
larvae crushed on the ground. care be-
ing taken to destroy any caterpillars
which may have remained on the tree.
The use Of a torch to burn out the
nests will often be found convenient,
especially when these occur in the
higher parts of trees. An asbestos
torch, such as Is advertised by seeds
men, will be satisfactory, or one may
be made simply by tying rags to the
end of a pole. The asbestos or rags are
saturated with kerosene and lighted
and the caterpillars as far a. possible
cremated. Some caterpillars, however,
are likely to escape, falling from the
nest upon the application Of the torch.
In using the torch great care is neces-
sary that no important injury be done
the tree; it should not be used in burn
ing out nests except in the smaller
branches and twigs, the killing of
which would be Of no special impor.
lance. Nests in the larger limbs should
be destroyed by hand, as the use Of the
torch may kill the bark, resulting In
permanent injury.
Tent caterpillars are readily destroy
ed by arsenicals sprayed on the foliage
Of trees infested by them. Any Of the
arsenical insecticides may be used.
On stone fruits, such as cherry, peach
and plum, arsenicals are likely to cause
injury to foliage and must be used with
caution If at all. On such trees the ar.
senate Of lead is preferable, as it is less
injurious to foliage and ON all trees
sticks much better. In spraying for the
tent caterpillar only, applications
should be made while the caterpillars
are yet small, as these succumb more
quickly to poisons than those more
nearly full grown, and prompt treat
ment stops further defoliation Of the
trees.

POISON EoR WEEDS.
Al Arsenic sprayS;ussd with Success
In Hawaii,

i" *' Fs .--sS +MgsFt..-
An Arsenic Spray; Used With Success
In Hawaii.
officials Of the department Of agricul-
ture r greatly interested in reports
received from Hawaii to the effect that
one Of the big sugar companies has
adopted as a regular field practice the
system Of destroying weeds by use Of
an arsenic poison spray instead of by
hoeing.
Experts who have conducted expert
ments on Hawaii sugar lands estimate
that by the spray ing method a saving
can be made in labor of SIS to $50 per
acre per annum.
The latest developments along this
line in Hawaii are discussed in a letter
received from Professor 81. p. eAgee,
director Of the experiment station staff
Of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters asso-
citation. Before going to Hawaii Pro-
lessor Agee co-operated with the de-
partment in experiments on Louisiana
sugar land.
The value of this method in Hawaii
is very great because Of the fact that,
like most tropical regions, the islands
are subject to torrential rains. The less
the surface Of sugar and other lands
Is disturbed by cultivation the less
chance there is that heavy rains will
wash of the top soil or Immediately
beat it into compact form.
A few years ago the department of
agriculture issued a bulletin dealing
with the weed factor In the cultivation
Of corn, following a series of expert
ments extending over several years,
which apparently established the prin-
ciple that it is the removal Of the
weeds rather than the cultivation
proper that contributes most of the
production of the corn crop. A series
Of 125 experiments were conducted,
covering many states. On some plots
the most approved methods Of cultiva-
ton were employed, while on other
plots there was no cultivation what.
ever, the weeds being eliminated by
surface scraping with a hoe.
6CACAoA dNCAdSc VI I'LL LucSV cApcI1-
ments showed that the plots that were
simply weeded produced 95.1 per cent
as much fodder and so. 1OS per cent as
much grain as those that were sub
jected to the most approved methods
of cultivation.
The arsenic spray method will be
given q trial on corn land in louisiana
this year by exports of the Office of
farm management in cooperation with
local authorities with a view to deter
mining whether it is not available for
use in that region, where climatic con-
ditions to some extent approach those
in Hawaii.
In Hawaii the spray is applied to the
weeds with great care, since if it
touches the leaves on the cane they
are Immediately destroyed. When care
fully applied, however, either by a
hand spray or by a spray consisting of
an oil barrel attached to a stone sled
especially constructed for the purpose
and pulled by one mule there is no dan
I ger to the a n
Frequently it is necessary to follow
the sled spray with a hand spray In
order to kill the few weeds that are
not reached. The results of the spray
ing method have been so satisfactory
that experiments are being connected
with a view to improving the some
what crude implements now in use.

The Apple Tree Borer.

ar nv SNHtsV ~ 80
Among the pests with which the or
chard planter has to contend perhaps
the fat headed apple tree borer is the
worst, says the Farm and F1reside.
The female deposits the eggs at the
beginning Of hot weather on the bark
of young fruit trees lear the ground.
Most Of the damage is done during the
summer months. The later broods re
main in the trees all winter and emerge
the following spring. The borer com
pletes its life round In one year. The
eggs are about as large as the head of
a pin and are covered by a hard shell.
When first Matched the larva can hard
ly be seen with the naked eye.
But in spite of its small size it begins
at once to injure the tree. Burrowing
into the bark. it tunnels its way en-
tirely around the sapwood Of the tree,
thus girdling and finally killing It.
