WARNING AGAINST
siLo AFFIRMATION

Grand Forks, Sept. 16.-Farmers are
reminded of the danger Of death from
asphyxiation during the filling Of the
Ssilo. The subject was discussed re-
Gently at a medical conference at
Grand Forks. Large amounts of car
bon dioxide are produced in the silo
from the green crop and may collect In
dangerous quantities if conditions be-
come favorable. To avoid such an ac-
cumulation Of the gas, the doors
should be left open as long as possible.
Men should not stay in the silo when
the blower is not running, and espec-
tally they should not sit or lie on the
fresh silage If the work has been In
|terrupted for any length Of time, men
should not again enter the s!lo until
the blower has been running for few
minutes. This removes the dangerous
gases. In the case Of a pit silc, men
should never remain in the silo when
the blower Is not running, and the
blower should always be started before
anyone enters the silo.

skUNks As PARTNERS

Cleveland Plain Dealer: It is prob
ably not known to the commonality
that the skunk has grievance against
society, but it has according to bio.
logist of the agricultural department.
Ignorance has given the skunk bad
name.
Now as a matter of fact, declares
this government biologist, the skunk
is a friend of man. He works with
out wage for every farmer and gar.
dener All he asks is to be let alone,
but every mans hand is against him.
It is enough to discourage any sensi.
tive quadruped.
The skunk is the most persistent
enemy the destructive army worm
knows. He loves to top off good
dinner with fine mess of field mice OF
rat. Moths and beetles look good to
him on a menu. From soup to nuts
the skunk's bill Of fare consists Of
creatures detrimental to crops.
Accordingly the suggestion Of the
biologist is that farmers take skunks
into partnership

TO KILL THE HEsslAN FLY

Fall blowing, early spring blowing
or burning the stubble will, according
to c. B. Waldron, of the North Dako-
ia experiment station, prevent the
Hessian fly from living over to attack
next years wheat crop. He further
states that the presence of the Hes
sian fly is indicated 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 second
joint and just above the second joint
will be found a fax-seed like body only
a little longer and pointed. This will
develop into Hessian fly next April
or May. The adult Hessian fly resem-
bles 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. 1t
appears late in April or May, lays its
eggs on the young wheat plants that
develop into the hax-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 development Of the insect.
Since the Hessian fly winters in
wheat stubble, fall blowing, early
spring blowing or burning the stubble
will put an end to them. Fields that
are plowed late in the spring, summer
fallowed, or stubbled in give the Hes
sian fly good chance.

"The place where the shortage Of
prairie chickens is most noticeable to
hunters is in the Red River valley,
where not an ounce Of the poison was

The state entomologist stated that
in the experimental work upon the

and prairie chickens were tested by

when it came to paying for it, he was
forced to confess that he was broke.
Determined to secure money in
some manner, he collected four rugs
from the rooms at the hotel and two
! of the jute door mats and went about
offering them for sale at $2.25 each.
On his travels as merchant he pick
ed up three wire door mats making a
total Of nine rugs and mats as his
stock in trade. He had them all when
arrested.
Upon his arrival at the police sta
ton he was unable to give any con-
nected story of himself but when he
was placed in the cell he proceeded to
tear things up. He pulled the plaster
from the walls, tore up the bed cloth
ing and raised a general rumpus. He
tore up his own coat, trousers, shirt
and shoes along the seams and after
slicing his cap, drenched it with a
I
bottle of ink saying that he didn't like
the color of it and it needed fixing
anyway. When asked why he tore his
clothes he stated that they were too
large and he intended to make them
smaller. His appearance when taken
to the county Jail this morning would
have done justice to the proverbial
scare crow.
Just what will be done in Hovland's
case is uncertain. 1t is certain that he
will be held for some time and an at
tempt will be made to locate relatives
and his home. Despite his condition
at the present time, he was well dress

rived and registered at the hotel and
it is believed in certain quarters that
he was doped and robbed and that his
queer actions were brought on by the
dope.

WINTER CARE OF
ALFALFA FIELDS

ALFALFA FIELDS
Alfalfa is one of our thost valuable
crops. It is often damaged through
improper winter care. w. r. Porter,
superintendent of the North Dakota
demonstration farms, as the results OF
his experiments and trials makes the
following suggestions on winter care.
Alfalfa as a rule should not be cut
for the last time for hay later than the
first of September. If left for seed it
can be cut any time in the fall if the
stubble which is quite stiff is left six
or eight inches high.
"Mr. Bobb, of Adams county, one of
the most extensive and successful al
falfa growers in the state, grows his
alfalfa in rows 36 inches apart. Late
in the fall he plows furrow over each
row covering it with six inches of soil.
This protects the tops Of the crowns
from jack rabbits as we'll as the china
tic conditions. In the spring he cross
harrows the field couple of times,
thus uncovering, the crowns and filling
up the burrows made the fall before.
Alfalfa, even of the hardest strains
is often very severely injured by al
lowing stock to run over 1t IN the win.
ter. 1t should never be trod upon by
animals, when in a frozen condition
If the stock must run, fence the al
falfa fields so that they cannot run
over the alfalfa land. Sometimes it ID
convenient for one to make sleigh
road across an alfalfa field. In the
spring all the plants under such road
will usually be found to be dead
smothered to death. This results in
loss and the road SO made looks un
slightly and grows more or less weeds
"Give the alfalfa field good care this
winter and it will return two or three
Of the best crops Of hay that can be
grown in North Dakota"

This is due to number of causes.
Primarily the big crops are response
BILE to a certain extent, but in addition
to the crops, the great increase in ex-
port trade made possible because of
the European war, is being felt in all
lines. The United States is accumulat-
ing great wealth at the expense OF
foreign countries. The steel industry,
which is an important one is in a
very prosperous condition here and
the railways are finding it necessary
to make very material increases in
their working forces. With a large
number of men who have been idle
finding employment, industries begin
ming their activities, and railways
busy, there are better times ahead.
For our state, these conditions mean
much. Greater buying power the coun-
try over cannot help but benefit us.
This fall is also seeing large move
ment of farmers into this state, and
industries are beginning to investi'
gate North Dakota cities with view
to locating here. At one point alone,
namely Grand Forks, 2 leading north
western company using North Dakota
raw materials is now building a large
plant and three or ftur others are
negotiating for suitable locations.
The year 1915.1e16 promises to be
one that will be long remembered as
the beginning Of industrial develop
ment in Oui state.
