USE THE STATE AGRICULTUR RAJ
COLLEGE,.

We called attention the other day to
the way in which the State University
idea was being worked out by the Col
ege Of Agriculture in connection with
the State agricultural department. and
emphasized the point that Vernon, farm
ers should take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity to secure the benefits of this serv
ice The Springfield Reporter furnishes
n further Illustration of this service in
the following statement;
About two weeks ago a Windsor
county farmer discovered that his
meadows were being overrun with grass
hoppcrs and he Immediately wrote the
editor of the Rural New Yorker, asking
him what could he done to destroy the
pest The editor promptly wrote the Yer
mont Agricultural College and the au-
Harold L. Bailey, state entomologist OF
our agricultural department Within
week from the time the farmer discovered
the grasshopper plague Mr. Bailey was
his farm ana giving SufCtSSlul
demonstration of how the ravenous in
sects could be killed. This is fair sam
ole of the efficiency of the department Of
agriculture in our State. and we only
wish that every member of the last Leg
islature who was opposed to giving Com
missioner Brigham more money for his
splendid work could he made to realize
that all the money that he asked for is
none too much for the growing needs of
his work
In commenting on this development the
Orleans County Monitor says THE
above from the Springfield Reporter calls
to mind the well-known fact that com
paratively few farmers take advantage
Of the aid the State and federal gov
ernments stand ready and willing to give.
Why did not the farmer above so to the
government in the first place with his
problem? --Of course the paper was glad

FIND BODY BURIED IN STRAW
Remains Of Farmer Discovered After
Eighteen Months-Youth Is Held
on Murder Charge.

Cando.-Buried in straw. where his
murderer secreted it nearly eighteen
month ago. John Scott's body was
found, and Clarence Orion. aged %,
who directed Sheriff James Taylor to
the spot where the body was found,
was held for the murder.
Orion, after several hours interview
with Sheriff Taylor, finally made a
partial confession of implication in
SCOTS disappearance on Dec. /, 1913.
He also maintained that John Rod,
farmland, was implicated in the at.
fair, but the coroner's jury exonerated
Rod.
Scott dropped out of sight after sup
posedly selling his farming equipment
to young Orion, Orion making such a
statement to neighbors on the day fol.
lowing SCOTS supposed departure. At
the time he disappeared Scott also had
about $500 cash on his person.
Neighbors thought little OF his dis
appearance until several weeks ago,
when letters were received from Mrs.
Scott, who has been an inmate of the
state institution for the feeble-minded
at Grafton several years. She inquired
as to her husbands whereabouts. This
aroused suspicion, an investigation re.
suited, and the confession by young
Orion and the recovery of the body fol-
lowed. Scott had been shot through
the head.

MANY INQUIRIES,
INTERESTING NEWS or STATE
North Dakota Events Of Past Few
Days Selected and Edited for the
Convenience Of Our
Readers.

Fort Yates.-Many inquiries are be-
ing received here by Superintendent
Covey of the Standing Rock Indian
reservation regarding the big sale of
Indian lands May in the new Sioux
county.
Bids must be accompanied by certi-
fed checks for 10 per cent of the ap-
praised valuation. ,One-fourth must be
paid down at the time of the purchase
and the rest in three equal payments
in two. four and six years. bearing in
terest at 6 per cent. The buyer must
pay the nominal charge for the trans
fer deeds. The government will re.
serve the right to construct canals or
bitches across the lands, otherwise
there will be no restrictions.
The appraised valuation of the land
averages about SO an acre. There
are few undesirable tracts as low as
So and 81 an acre and some as high as
$40, but the total appraised valuation
divided by the total acreage will prob.
ably not exceed SO.
