the Planting Of Wheat and Other
Grain In Preference to Cotton.

1t ID now time to pull down the

animation should he made to see II
any borers are left on the tree,
There should be removed and the
trunks OF the trees whitewashed with
a'solution Of lime. sulphur and soap

application of spraying of lime sui

sulphur which has to be diluted Nv
adding eight to nine gallons of water
to each gallon of the solution NAV
be had at the drug stores in Sumter.
II tie wholesale price has not ad-
vanced. the retail price should not be
over 25c gallon. I have made ar
rangsiner'ts to order several spray
pumps for different communities. Here
is where community cooperation
should be exerciseds A pump will
serve a half dozen farmers as we'll and
last as long as 1t would for just one
farmsr to use it.
1t Is now time to begin planning for
another crop. I am glad to see so
much interest being taken in the SOW
Ing OF wheat. The price of cotton is
good at present. but we know what a
large crop means. The price of wheat
IL also good. and the planting of
enough wheat to supply farm will
take thai much acreage out of the
compstition to reduce the price of cot
ton. Beside wheat Is the one crop
that takes the least fertility from
the spil and is always valuable in a
rotation. We have splendid facilities
In the county for making flour. There
are no better mills to be found than
we have In Sumter county and the
Hour made out Of my wheat is as
good AS eau purchase in Sumter. 1t

oats sre always better than those

eats are better.

Ing 80 much Abruxzi rye. Every farm
should raise enough Abruzzi rye for
planting all the grazing patches need
ed on the farm and for about half of
the land to be planted in cotton and
corn for o. cover crop. Cover crops

Farmers Will Be
Given Federal Aid

The farmers of >orth Dakota will
be given additional federal aid this
year in securing harvest help. A
special federal agent is now work
ing in cooperation with r. F.
Flint of the state department of
labor at Bismarck. This agent is
in close touch with agents in other
states to the east and south. and
as the harvest work is completed In
those sections, will assist In moving
the labor from those sections to
places where they are needed In
this state.
The effectiveness of this work will
derend much upon the accuracy
with which the department Is in.
formed as to the needs Of each spe-
cific section. Commercial and Far
mers Clubs are asked to help in
this work. Careful attention to
these matters at once will save
much loss to communities by dis
tributing the labor where 1t is most
needed
Application blanks will be fur
njshed upon request to the Depart
ment of Labor at Bismarck, and
when these are returned the de-
partment will place help as rapidly
as possible.

BISMARCK FUG|TVES
STILL IN HIDING

Bismarck N. D., Aug. 10.-None
Of the three men who escaped from
the penitentiary Saturday has yet
been captured. Traces, however,
have been discovered or W. H.
Neavels and Mack McGee, the two
leaders of the eight who escaped
July %.
w. D. Dopking, state parole Of
ficer returned today from investi-
eating the report that the two men
Of Lark on the Mott line Of the
Northern Pacific July "a and rs. =
None of the men living in the
neighborhood had got near enough
to the couple to tell what they look
ed like, but by their actions they
suspected they were undesirables.
Two children, however, accident
ally ran across them when they
were going one way around the
hill under which the cave is built
and the men the other way. They
were within 100 feet of the men
when they saw them. The negro,
believed to be MCGEE, wheeled
quickly and walked out of sight.
The white man, believed to be
Neavels, stopped, made faces at the
children, soaring them so that they
ran home.
Mr.. Dopking showed the pictures
of the escaped men to the children
and they at once picked out Neavels
as the white man. but could not
identify the negro.
Trails were found where the
men had gone to milk the COWS and
to get vegetables from the garden.
A makeshift bed was found in the
cave.
The nearest any man got to see
the men was when a farmer living
nearby tried to see them with the
glasses. They saw him and :,1-
mediately turned their backs and
walked to the other side of the hill.

hordes Of transients, who blocked
the way anu almost dctated to the
crew, what to do. When the crowd
boarded the train, they took it into
their own hands and made it come
according to their own wishes, 1t
is reported they would run the
train a way and then stop it for
while, just for the fun of handling
things themselves.

The following is an extract from
a letter received few days ago by
{. E. Hovland of the First State
Bank of Coteau from DR.. Jas. L.
Hammond, who nine years ago
practiced medicine at Coteau, but
who is now surgeon in the Cana
dian army, spending his time be-
tween England and France: "Well,
I've been in England, or old
Brightly as it is called over here, for
some months. I've been over to
France for a short time, too. My
We like England. It's a beautiful
parklike country. Things are
done much differently here than in
U. S. A. The Englishman does not
sweat much. I've never seen one
in a hurry, but he does things in a
more thorough way. He is not
the green Englishman we see over
there in tight pants. His dress
here is just the same as ours. Even
his women folk wear the same
knee high skirts one sees in Chica-
&C, or St. Paul. And there are
some women about. too. Nor
have all the men gone to war. AS
am not we'll up on the rules Of
what is or is not admissible in
letters, l had better say nothing
about the war. You get all the
news we get, and perhaps more.
One thing I may say is that there
are thousands upon thousands Of
MEN in training in England who
have not yet seen the front. So
DON'T see how the other side can
win with their tireu army. There
are lot of Canadians here in train,

GERS have their wives over here.

over the country. When we, the
Canadians, 60 back we are going
via Mexico, and clean up things
there. The little Canadian army

PAGE WITH A GUN

Steele, N. D., Aug. l0.-Vittor
Brausch, aged 80, shot his wife and
Col. J. G. stauffacher, and then
killed himself, in a wild orgy of
shooting at the Stauffacher farm,
near here, Saturday night. Mrs,
Brausch and Stauffacher will recov-

During his Wild carnival of gun
play Brausch also shot twice at
Mrs Stauffacher and baby, and two
other bullets passed in close proxl-
nifty to Frank Hubbard, a driver.
The shooting was the climax OF
a long standing quarrel between
Brausch and his wife, Mrs. Brausch

some time ago after brief ac-
quaintance.
Brausch had gone TO the Stauff-

to go with him. She refused to de-
so. and was shot in the forehead

Hunters Waiting For
the Season to Open

The hunting season in North Da-
kota opens three weeks from next
Monday and already County Au-
ditor G. K. Melby is more than
busy writing hunting licenses. Ii
censes this year will be as necessary
as shot guns, as any person hunting
without this permit will be prompt
ly arrested BY a game warden or
peace officer and will be fined $25
besides forfeiting his gun to the
state. 1t is not enough to buy a
license and leave it in the strong
box at home or at the vault in the
bank. 1t must be on your person
while out hunting. The deputy
game wardens have been instruct
cd to put in their hardest licks dur
ing the first few days of the open
season, and you may encounter
several of them on the first day.
The ducks this year are more plen-
tiful than they have been for IL
years, and it will be no trick at
all to get the limit of these birds
before breakfast. The mallards in
the hills are already flying and will

be in first class condition in anoth-
er three weeks. The spoonbills
and teal are almost full grown, and
will be ready for the fry ing pan in
short time. The chickens were
pretty we'll thinned out on the fats
during the last winter which was
very severe. but they seem to have
lived through all right In the hills
where they were afforded more pro-
lection. In places in the hills they
are very numerous, while In others
they are not. Dogs are now allow
ed to run at large, and many sports
men have already started training
their CANNES and at the same time
locating covies of chickens. The
wholesale price of shot gun shells
went up 20 per cent over what 1t
was last year. but 1t is not believed
that this will prevent our people
from shooting just as much as they
die in former years.

Burke County Boys
Squat in Montana

Will and Reinholdt Kundiger re-
turned on Thursday afternoon Of
last week from points in Montana
where they spent some time in
looking at homestead land. Before
returning they both filed squatter's
rights to half section each about
so miles north of Malta. John
Peterson, who accompanied them on
the trip also filed on half sec
ton. Reinholdt was In the city
last Monday, and told us that this
land was surveyed year ago, and
that it was liable to be thrown
open for filing most any day. He
also stated that it was three miles
from the Canadian line, and that
up to the present time at least ten
people from between Flaxton and
Woburn had already squatted in
that vicinity. The Kundiger boys
were able to get very desirable
tracts by going so far away from
the railroad. and seem to be more
than pleased with what they squat
ted on. They both secured a five
months leave of absence. and in
tend to go out there late this fall
