Among bills of interest to this dis
trict which have been acted upon by
the legislature this week are the fol-
lowing:
To comply with objections raised
by Governor Boyle the senate yester-
day afternoon amended Assemblyman
Baird's bill which provided that only
citizens or those who have declared
their intention of becoming citizens
shall be employed on the public works
of the state.
The governor raised the point that
the bill would conflict with various
treaties with foreign nations and
would validate contracts madesby the
state under present existing labor
laws.
The bill as amended removes those
Objectionable features but Is so
framed as to provide that soldiers.
and citizens shall be given the
preference over foreign laborers on
such work.

the farmers of this state are going
to have to put forth their best efforts
next year,to save their crop from the
grasshoppers.
Every effort should be expended this
fall to destroy the eggs that are now
in the ground This can be done by
discing or, preferably, blowing. All
waste pieces Of land, pot holes in the
fields, and roadsides should be disced
to depth of two or three inches, or
plowed this fall By no means should
rye be sown on stubble without the
lanf being thoroughly disced. Failure
to destroy the grasshopper eggs be.
fore seeding rye is not only taking
chances with ones own crop, but that
of his neighbors.
Reports have come to the County
Agent that grasshoppers died in great
numbers before the eggs were depos-
tied. This was investigated by the
County Agent, and Mr.. Ainslie, of the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture, and
found to be caused by the Sorcapho-
gous fly, which deposits maggot on
the body of the hopper, where it goes
into the larvae stage and when the
hopper dies it burrows into the
ground and completes the larvae
stage and energies again in the form
of the Sorcaphogous fly.
This fly did not destroy all the eggs
by any means, and as it appeared SO
late in the season, did very little in
killing the hoppers before the eggs
were deposited.

The Ward County Farmers Press
questions the advisability Of spending
$285,000 for the proposed sewage dis
posal plant for the city Of Minot.
Brother Larin undoubtedly has not
been advised as to just what expendi-
ture would be necessary and exactly
what would have to be done in con-
nection with the.building Of this plant.
The Independent admits that at first
the figures looked large, but City En-
gineer Thomas explains that approx
imately 100000 of the amount will
have to be spent for sewer extension.
A site for the disposal plant itself
will have to be purchased and then
the plant is going to cost good round
sum. You can't make dollar go very
far these days. Mr.. Thomas has
agreed to furnish the Independent
with detailed estimate on the cost of
the plant, site, sewer extension, ETC.,
for our next issue. One cannot blame
the public for wanting to know just
how their money will be spent. Pres
ident Shaw stated to an Independent
representative that as far as he is
concerned, he would be only too glad
to turn the proposition over to COM
mittee from the Rotary Club or some
other organization, for their approval,
before spending cent on The plant.
The city commission has passed up the
building of sewage disposal plant
for a number of years realizing full
well that one was needed, but realized
that taxes already were high and did
not want to make them higher. The
state board of health has stepped in
and now demands that the nuisance be
abated. The city commission is will
ing to take steps to abate that NUS
ance. It is up to the voters to back
up the state board Of health and the
city commission.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1919-09-11

There should be no question as to
the bond issue for the new sewage
disposal plant carrying, but it appears
that there is some opposition on the
part of those who hope that they can
save taxes by voting against the prop
osition. The Independent doesn't want
to see taxes one cent higher in the
city of Minot than is necessary They
are high enough already, but we are
in hole and we must work ourselves
out the best way possible The sewage
disposal plant must be built. If any
reader can show US any other way
out, we will gladly give him the space
to explain. The state board of health,
of which Attorney General LANCER is
chairman, has notified Minot that the
nuisance caused by dumping filth into
Mouse river must be removed within
one year and a half. The farmers
down the river have been holding
their noses for number of years and
perhaps can do so for a short time
longer, but relief is most certainly in
sight. The money for the plant can
be raised in just two ways, one by
voting a bond issue, which would
spread the taxes in an equal manner
over the entire city, and the other by
a special assessment, which would
complicate matters a great deal and
would be about $4,000 more expensive
in the long run. It would cost about
900 to spread the special assess
ment and then the difference in the in
terest rate would be such that it would
cost the tax payers fully $4,000 more
in the end. If you want to save the
city of Minot $4,000 vote for the
bond issue.

farmers are stubbling in rye.
Our experiences with grasshoppers

Of this state to use every means in
their power to prevent the recurrence
of this pest.
Investigations have been made from
time to time to determine the abund-
ance of eggs which have been depos-

Many North Dakota farmers are
losing money every day in the year
because they are careless in handling
their cream. The dairy industry has
grown so rapidly that there has been a
disposition on the part Of many of the
dairymen to get their product market
ed in any old fashion. Consequently
many have been receiving cream
checks for only No. 2>product where
as they might with just little extra
care get paid for a No. l grade of
cream which would increase the size
of their monthly check considerably.
In the United States, the difference
between the No. and the No. 2 cream
marketed in one year was $28,O00,0O0
just think Of it. The dairymen could
have had that much more money in
their pockets, had they been little
more careful. The price has been SO
high that many have not stopped to
consider that they have been losing.
In another column of this paper ap-
pears an article that will prove of
value to every dairyman. It gives you
some good practical advice on the
handling Of cream and was handed
to US by John Morrell, local manager
of the Northern Produce Co. It is
worth considering.
