POTATO BUGS
BETTER WAY THAN PICKING
LEAD ARSENIC SAID
TO BE BEST.

Aberdeen. June ga more sat
isfaetory method of getting rid of po-
tato bugs than the old way of pick
ing them off by hand and better than
the we'll known Paris green solution
is the n recommended to garden
ers by ID. l.. Reid, head of the school
of agriculture of the Northern Nor
NAL and Industrial school.
IF you insist on using the Paris
green solution, at least put some lime
with it so that you may see what
plants you have covered" said Mr..
Reid.
But a better way, to my mind. to
get rid of potato bugs is to use a
lead arsenic solution. Lead arsen-
ate doesn't cost as much as Paris
green; it doesn't injure the plant in
the least, and ii whitens on the po-
tato plants SO that you can tell when
it is washed off and what plants have
been covered. II is better than Paris
green, also because it does not in
jure the plants; Paris green does to
some extent.
Lead %arsenate comes in powder
form and may be used in solution
the same as Paris green. For use
take: Sugar of lead, % ounces; SO
dunn arsenate. 8 ounces: water, loo
gallons.
This solution may also be used
on small cabbages before the heads
form. 1t will keep off worms and BY
the time the heads form will be
washed off so that there will be nc
danger of poison"

WEATHER and CROPS
IN SOUTH DAKOTA FAVORABLE,
ACCORDING TO GOVERN
MENT REPORT.

Huron, June 22.-M. f. Blystone,
government weather and crop observ-
er for South Dakota, in his report of
conditions in the state for the week
ending June 90. finds that cool
weather prevailed during the greater
part Of the week, but on Saturday
and Sunday the warmest weather of
the summer thus far occurred. Light
rain fell at scattered places during
the week, mostly nea the beginning
and near the end. but at many places
no rain whatever fell. Rain is be
ginning to be needed in some local
tiles. Though cool the weather of the
week was generally favorable for
crop growth. Light frost in some
localities on the 18th caused slight
damage to garden truck, potatoes
and corn, but the damage was not
serious. Small grains are generally
doing well. Spring wheat is reported
to be in very promising condition.
II is of good color and heavily stool
ed. but is beginning to need rain in
some localities. Corn is backward
because of the cool weather, but the
later warm weather has caused inn
provement. Cultivation is in prog
ress. Flax is doing well. Potatoes
and gardens are generally good, but
are backward. Alfalfa, meadows
and pastures are doing well. Alfalfa
is being cut. Stock is generally now
in good condition.

BACKS RED CROSS
CONGRESSMAN H.. G. JOHNSON
SAYS RED CROSS SHOULD BE
SUPPORTED BY EVERYONE.

Washington, June 22.-Referring
to the Red Cross war fund campaign,
Congressman Royal G.. Johnson, OF
the Second district of South Dakota,
said today
The American Red Cross well de-
serves the utmost confidence, as well
as the active support of every indi-
vidual who is unable to serve the
country in a military capacity. 1t is
directed by some of the nations most
able business men, who are unself-
ishly and periodically deyoting all or
a portion OF their time to the admin
istration of Red Cross funds. Who
ever gives to the Red Cross need
have no fear. but that the contribu-
tion will be speedily and efficiently
used to alleviate the distress of some
deserving sufferer.
The war council of the society is
now engaged in a nationwide cam
paign to raise 500, 600, 600 to be
known as the Red Cross Wan Fund
The worthiness of this inspiring prof.
ect is apparent. Presently American
troops. under Gen. Pershing, will be-
on the firing line in France. Later
thousands and hundreds of thou
sands more American soldiers will
be on the bloody battlefields of
Europe-to uphold the honor Of the
flag and the voice Of our govern
ment. The government will see that
these men are properly equipped and
properly fed. The American Red
Cross proposes to keep them healthy,
happy and efficient. In order to do
this is must have hospital and med
ical equipment to supplement that of
the army medical department equal
to any emergency. 1T wishes also to
provide recreation and rest facilities
behind the firing line. so that when,
after weeks of fighting in the
trenches. our soldiers are given leave
they will have club rooms. sports
supplies, books. and other means OF
recreation TO rest their tired minds
and bodies. Unlike the English and
French, American troops cannot re
turn to their homes. and ii Is essen
tial to their health and usefulness
that these men be not forced 10 seek
diversion i'm nearby cities and towns.
Personal comfort kits and small arti-
cles not included in army equipment
will also be furnished American
troops If the wal fund campaign is
suecessful-and I earnestly trust
that il will be.
Il feel confident that the people

most worthy appeal. Though farther

Employers LIABILITY


Sioux Falls, June ga. c. Ad-
DERBY in his talk to the Sioux Falls
manufacturers at the Commercial
club emphasized strongly the neces-
sity of the manufacturers and en-
ployers of labor in South Dakota
having some form of organization
through which they might meet and
consider all labor insurance bills that
We're offered to the legislature in the
future. Bills of this character in
great variety are being offered to
legislatures of other states. Many
of these bills are extremely radical
and impose obligations which EN-
ployers under present conditions
would be but little able to bear. A
strong we'll financed organization Of
employers and manufacturers would
be able to exercise a great influence
in obtaining fair. just and reasonable
legislation. such rs the workmen's
compensation law that was enacted
by the last legislature now is.
An outline was given of the pro
gram for the so called social legis-
lation which is being advocated
throughout the United States by the
American Association for Labor Leg
islation. The legislative program Of
this association consists principally
of CD %workmen's compensation
laws. (2) occupational disease laws.
CD old age pensions and ca unem-
ployment insurance.
The workmen's compensation bill
enacted in South Dakota is the first
step in this legislative program and
additional bills in the future may be
expected and urged by the advocates
of this program. The employers,
however, must determine for them
selves the extent of the liabilities
which they can assume under pres
ent conditions. The occupational
disease bill in effect makes the en-
ployer also liable for sickness and
disease in the same name that he
now becomes liable under the work
mems compensation law for acct
dents. The old age pension bill will
require that the employer also be-
come liable for a pension to his em-
ployes for the balance of life after
they have reached a certain age.
The unemployment insurance bill
will require that the employer be-
come liable for the wages Of a certain
average number of his employees re-
CARELESS of business conditions, in
other words, he must guarantee a
continuance of the employment or a
payment of the wages.
