WALDRON TELLS HOW TO
FIGHT GRASSHOPPERS

Farmers will surely be interested in
the following information about grass
hoppers, which was received by a
New England grain buyer from C. B.
Waldron of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural College:
September 10th, 1917.
MI. E. J. Freeman,
New England, ND.
Dear Sir:
The best general method of getting
rid Ct grasshoppers is to destroy their
eggs. This can be done by blowing
or thorough dragging.
We have found that dragging the
ground we'll early in the spring just
after the frost comes out breaks up
the nests of the grasshoppers so that
they are exposed to the sun and wind.
With a few days. exposure they shrrv-
ell up so that there is no possibility
of their Matching.
I have never tried dragging stubble
land in the fall but if the ground is
loose I see no reason why it would
not work as we'll then as in the
spring.
When blowing is resorted to, the
furrow should be turned 5 or 6 inches
deep and worked down Immediately
after blowing.
There is no way of inoculating
grasshoppers that has proven practi-
cal. They can beepoisoned but it is
much better to destroy them in the
egg stage.
Yours truly,
C. B. WALDRON.

LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
RALLY AT RICHARDTON

The patriotic rally held under the
auspices of the Home Guards at Rich
ardton on Sunday, September 9th, was
a fine testimonial of the spirit of 10y
atty and patriotism of that commun-
ity. The business houses and resi-
dences displayed flags and bunting in
rich variety and the residents of Rich
ardton as we'll as the farmers from
the surrounding country turned out
almost to a man, and big delegations
attended from neighboring towns.
The open air meeting at the band
stand near the N. P. depot was called
to order by Attorney BENZ. M. Rigler
as chairman of the Home Guards COM
mittee. The first speaker was Joseph
M. Fleck, a law student at the Uni
versity Of North Dakota, a Richard
ton young man, who delivered a very
patriotic address. Other interesting
speakers were Hon. L. A. Simpson
and Rev. r. H. Craig Of this city, and
the Dickinson male quartet rendered
several patriotic selections during the
course Of the program. ~
Attorney General VIM. LANCER and
Rev. FIR. Dignam were on the program
for addresses but were unable to be
present.
At the conclusion Of the program
the Home Guards gave an exhibition
drill in regular military style which
appreciated by the spectators.

TAYLOR RANCHER HAS
NARROW ESCAPE IN
PECULIAR ACCIDENT

Fank Razzilyer had a singular ac-
cident while driving home from Fred
Schroeder's meat market at Taylor,
recently, where he had been working
as usual in the absence OF Mr.. Schroe-
der. The night was dark, and SO.
Frank decided to leave the horse find
the way by its own instinct. Frank
lives down near the Caldwell ranch
at the Heart river. Coming down the
Clay Hills near the river, the horsees
instinct evidently failed, as 1t lost, M
road and went down the steep bank.
The dljjveE was conscious of the dang
er and was on the look out. When
the horse lost the road Razzilyer was
thrown off, which saved his life. The
horse was instantly killed by the f1ll,
and the buggy broke to pieces: Ac-
cording to Franks account the buggy
fell on top of the horse, and turned
over, jerking the horse on top. Raj
zilyer was not hurt.-Taylor Reporter.

"Resolved, that it is u opinion that

The corn in many North Dakota
fields will not become mature enough
for seed. This will mean that these
farmers will have to start over again
with corn. Considerable time will be
saved if the start is made with North
Dakota grown seed, rather than with
seed from further south. This means
a big opportunity to those farmers
who are fortunate enough to have corn
mature. The more seed they save the
larger will be the acreage that can be
planted with North Dakota grown
seed next spring. There is very little
seed corn carried over so that the
price will likely be high. This is a
case where a do a good service
for ones fellow men, and at the same
time be well paid for it.

MAY GO TO CALIFORNIA

C. C. Mead with his brother, John
Mead of Los Angeles, CAL, and his
rancher neighbor, Edwin Johnson, came
in from the, Bad Lands on Wednesday
and spent the night in New Eng;
land. During the day they visited
their old friends, o. H; Wichmann CT
Desart and w. B. Galligan of the
Pierce country, and c. c. Mead took
advantage Of the opportunity to look
over his 4O-acre coal land tract in
Strehlow township: Today they star
ed out to visit C. L. Rafferty's people
and other old-time friends in the
Tepee Butte country. It is unusual
for these gentlemen to take time to
60 visiting, but they wanted to see
some Of their old-time friends who
were considered near neighbors at fif-
teen to twenty-five miles in former
ranching days. c. c. Mead may dis
pose of his cattle and accompany his
brother to California, when the latter
returns to his home next month.-New

ALFALFA SCORES GAL

Alfalfa has beaten the other hay
crops again. It has produced more
hay per acre than have any other
crop. This is not the whole story as
alfalfa has a higher feeding value
than any of the other hay crops. The
composition Of alfalfa is about the
same as that Of wheat bran. This
near that when alfalfa hay is fed
less grain will be required than when
a stand of Grimm alfalfa is secured
it will last for a good many years,
unless some unusual condition should
occur, as being covered with a sheet
of ice.
The farmer who has a field of al
falfa this year is, indeed, fortunate.
Many who are not fortunate enough
20 have an alfalfa field have ex-
pressed themselves as determined to
start one next year.

PEOPLES FORUM.
AUTOISTS DRIVE SLOWLY.

One of those narrow escapes that
border on the miraculous was seen on
Wednesday noon by the writer, when
one of the delivery autos swung
around a down town corner at the
noon-tide hour, and driving at no less
than 20 miles an hour.
A bevy of children were coming
down 3rd Ave. West and about to
cross the sidewalk when a delivery
man turned the corner without blow
ing his horn, and if it had not been
for one of the older girls, one or two
little ones would have been caught
under the wheels of the auto, with the
prospect of immediate death.
Other cities are enforcing the speed
law, but Dickinson has so many
spasms that nothing seems to last
more than a day or sc at the longest.
The city should enforce all laws OF

than exploded.
A package bearing a scrawl, ITO

carried into the house where it was
found to contain a cigar box which
McClune and Still were opening when
it went off. Jessie leaped through
