FARM FLOCK AT WORK.
Of the danger to fences; besides. much
OF the common blue grass thriving in
such localities is always too green to
burn and serves to protect the thick
mulch of dead grass which accumu-
lates beneath from year to year and
forms IN ideal refuge for all manner Of
pests. a small flock of sheep, given
the range Of fields and roads at this
season Of the year and where, thereaare
no growing crops, will dispose Of near
ly all useless vegetation. Only little
grain need be added to fatten them. If
the farmer does not wish to keep the
sheep permanently he may often pur
chase FEEDERS" in carload lots at the
large stockyards when they are just in
condition to be fattened and later dis
pose of them.
Over the prairie country sheep will
eat off grass and shoots Of larger brush
and plants, leaving the ground so bare
of protection that insects either will
not congregate there or gain protection
there after the pasturing is done. In
the east, where trees, bushes and
brambles enter into consideration if
this brush is cleaned off in spring the
sheep will in late fall dispose of the
young growth that may push up
through the summer. By herding the
sheep along the roadsides and properly
shifting them about according to con-
ditiOn in the fields all of this waste
ground can be made to yield a return
to the owner and incidentally add to
the value of the farm
On account Of their light weight
sheep can be pastured in fields when
the ground would be too wet for
heavier animals. Their small feet, en-
tOmOlOgists find. are also more effectual
in destroying insects on the surface of
the ground than the hoofs Of larger
animals.
The list of dangerous pests that win
ter along neglected roadside margins
IS long and formidable. The chinch
bug, the spring grain aphis. or "green
bug" and the clover and alfalfa seed
chalcis fly have all been found by in
vestigators wintering in great numbers
in such underground. Under certain
favorable conditions in the fall the
Hessian fly also breeds freely in quack
grass. and in Canada one specialist has
traced the western grass stem saw fly
directly from this grass to the wheat
fields. This saw fly does considerable
damage to wheat in the Dakotas.
Young stalk borers Papapiema nitela)
were noticed in very young oats as
early as 1884 by the departments spe-
cialist, under conditions Indicating that
the parent moths had spent the winter
In the matted grass along the border
Of the fields.
The departments Investigator has
successfully put the winter sheep
grazing plan into practice with some
three miles of roadside and even more
Of fence margins. Many successful
farmers have also tried Il with profit,
but they have not always realized that
in addition to the destruction Of the
useless vegetation they were destroying
insect pests that would have become
positively dangerous later on.

Advertising Pays Farmers
Special to The Leader Enterprise,

Special to The Leader-Enterprise
Atlanta, Ga. March 29.-That the
farmer can use advertising to just
as good advantage as the merchant
has been proved by several wide
awake agriculturists, according to
reports from the government.
One southern farmer had some
corn to sell. 1t was good corn, the
price was right, but the farmer had
no time to peddle it. He called up
the office of his home newspaper
and gave an order for a four line
advertisement. Before the week
was out he had sold his APO bushels
at good figures. The next year the
farmer had learned the uses of ad.
vertising, so he spread out a little.
He sold farm products amounting
to $1,000 for an advertising expense
of ten dollars.

IN CA[|C|A

Germans and Austrians Take One

From Russians.
ITALY'S ENTRANCE HAS
NOT AFFECTED CAMPAIGN

Austria Hungarian Headquarters, via
London, May 2S.-The great battle in
Mid-Galicia still continues in furious
offensive against the Russians north
and south Of Przemysl. ltaly's declar-
alton of war against Austria appar-
emily has not affected the aggressive
force of the Austrian armies. The
superiority in artillery which the Aus
trians established in the first stages
Of the war, owing to the introduction
of the new Skoda siX-inch howitZer,
and the large number Of German
eight-inch batteries, continues to be
determining factor. The Russians
are being shelled or bayonetted out
of one position after another. A wedge
which the Austro-Germans drove
across the San river north of Pre-
mysl Monday is steadily eating it's
way deeper into the Russian front.
The point reached yesterday to the
villages of Chotynice and Kruszowice,
six miles east of the San and fourteen
miles northeast of Przemysl and the

IN BASEMENT
Of BEACH HOME
Leroy Pate, Seeking Sweetheart $
Life, Killed by Theodore
Sweitzer.
BELIEVED HE INTENDED
TO MURDER FAMILY
Corcner's Jury Finds That Homi
eide Was Justifiable; Dis
appointed in Love.

Beach, N. D., May 2S.-Leroy Pate,
aged %, was shot and killed by Theo-
dore Sweltzer, one of the prominent
business men of this city, in the base
meht Of the Swei.zer home, at 3
o'clock this morning. The bullet
which caused the mortal wound was
80 caliber and penetrated Pates
breast approximately one inch from
the heart.
Was Love Affair.
The tragedy was the outcome of a
love affair, in which Mrs. Alma Whit
more, the widowed sister of Mrs
Theodore ,SWetZer. wha has resided
in this city since February in the en-
ploy of Sweitzer. She was made the
object of Pa!e's attentions in Mitchell,
S. D. where the young lady formerly
resided.
Pate followed her here several
weeks ago from the deceased's for
mer home in Shirley, Ind. For the
past year he has ben at several diff
ferent places, working as a farm
hand, and his travels during that
time have Included Canada, South Da-
kota and Minnesota.
At 3 O'clock this morning noises
in the sWeitzer hone caused IA search
of the premises, and Mrs. E5weitzer
discovered a man behind the door in
the parlor. Her screams brought her
husband down stairs in pursuit of the
intruder, who had retreated to the
basement ,fEt yaf s, Fb 3S sH7#.
Sweitzer Fired Upon. 9s4l
On entering the basement, Sweitzer
was fired Upon, but fired two shots in
turn, the, first bullet took effect and,
with the expression, "You'ye'got me,
kid" Pate sank to the floor, dying in
stantly. SAT 10 o'clock a coroner's
jury was summoned and after exam
ination of all witnesses to the tragedy
rendered a verdict of justifalble homi-
eide. It is thought that the young
man was temporarily insane, as note
books found in his possession would
indicate that it was his intention to
murder every occupant of the house,
for he felt that the Sweitzer family
had discouraged his suit for marriage.

PEOPLE IN
MEXICO FACE
STARVATION.
President Wilson 1ntimates U. s..
Will Take a Hand in the
Affairs.
WARR1NG FACTIONS MUST
FEED SUFFERING PEOPLE
Intolerable Conditions Have Ne
cessitated Instant Relief
Measures.

| washington, May zo.-fTeSlOenI
Wilson has decided to serve notice on
all warning factions in Mexico that
conditions there have become intol-
erable and that unless they them
selves compose the situation soon.
some other means may be employed
to accomplish the result.
The first intir.ation Of the presi.
dents determination came today In
his appeal issued as the head Of the
! American Red Cross, setting forth
that, due to several years of inter-
national disturbances, the unfortu-
nate people in many parts OF Mexico
have been reduced to the verge Of
starvation, and urging contributions
to relief funds.
when the presidents appeal for
the aid for MeXicans was Issued, 1t
was also stated at the executive Of
fees that statement from the presi-
dent on the present situation in Mex
leo might be expected in the next few
days and is the substance Of state
ment later issued at the White House.
Statement Prepared.
| After the cabinet meeting next
! Tuesday a statement which has been
prepared will be issued and commnni-
| Gated to leaders Of ali Mexican fac
tions.
The officials declined to say what
the statement contained, but denied
that the recognition OF any faction is
now contemplated. faA&0a"f:
a The present action, it is said, in ef-
feet is to demand that the Mexicans
arrive at an early settlement OF their
troubles or a. least provide susten-
ance for the starving population.
High officials referred to the presi-
dents Forthcoming pronouncement as
not meaning immediate" interven-
tion. The impression in executive
quarters was that the purpose is to
place responsibility for the state at
fairs squarely upon the military ele-
ments in Mexico. While anxious to
permit warning elements to settle
own troubles, the president IL deter
mined that the population shall not
starve meantime.
Talk Of Intervention.
The talk of Intervention which has
been dormant since the European war
diverted attention was Immediately
revived by the White House state
ment. The diplomats interpreted the
days events as forerunner of new
policy and that intervention was in.
the evitable outcome Of the situation,
and that the United States is paving
the way for such action by notifying
the world of its purpose to take the
step for the sake Of humanity.
Belief is widespread tonight that
the immediate effect of the f0rthcom.
ing statement will be to give warning
that relief supplies must not be appro.
priated by the military factions and
that they must assist in feeding the
starving populace.
The general trend of comment indt-
Gated that this government, as flrst
step in such contingency, would IN.
sist in keeping the railroad between
Vera Cruz and Mexico City open for
transportation of supplies. These
government plans, it is said, will take
several weeks to be worked out, and
they do not expect to come to de-
cisive point while the delicate nego.
tiations with Germany are in prog
reSS. u

Pays $4,000
on Blue Book

More than $4,000 has been
advanced on the 1915 blue
book which is now being held
up by injunction proceedings
started against Thomas H.
Hall, secretary Of state. It was
the plain intent Of the legisla-
ture to let the work on COM
petitive bids. All former pre-
cedents 50 verbosely explain
ed by Mr.. Hall, were overrul-
ed by the action of the last
legislative session. H..
When bids for legislative
printing were called for a lit
tie more than a year ago, the
blue book was expressly ex-
empted 1t was the intention
to let that under a separate
contract. v,.
MIR. Hall by his act in let
ting the work without a COM
petitive bid has practically
nullitied the law passed by the
recent legislature. Certainly
the legislature did not pass a
law in 1915 for an express
purpose to cover a situation
in 1917. .-.
In recent communications to
the Fargo and Grand Forks
papers, Mr.. Hall seeks to justi
fy his action on precedent.
Had not the legislature passed
a bill expressly covering the
1915 blue book publication
and had not Mr.. Halls "ex-
pert printer exempted it
from the bids when calling for
other printing in 1914, then
his present act must have been
justified.
The reason Mr.. Hall ex-
empted the blue book from
the bids before was in order
to award the contract by
stealth to q favored bidder.
He knew that certain pub
fishing houses had the plates
Of former books that could
have been used, thus saving
the state a considerable fig
ure. However, from Halls
standpoint it would have
been unfair to ask the privi-
legged printer to bid against
this kind of competition.
Thus are the tax payers
milkeG by Mr.. Hall and his
expert printer.
