Burberry Inspector II Get You If
You Don't Watch Out

The second inspection of all
barberry paintings found in the
state will begin this month for
the purpose TO checking up the
work and to see that those few
persons who, thru neglect or in
tent have not destroyed their
barberries shall do so. The in
spectors have no desire to fine
anyone but will not hesitate to
recommend a fine to the state
police officer, if it is necessary to
do so in order to secure the re-
moval of all the barberries. This
announcement is made by H. c..
Gilbert, assistant state leader,
barberry eradication, State COL
lege.
More than 1000 barberries
have been found this year and
many of the paintings located in
1918 were not properly dug, so
were still Twin gthis year. The
federal inspectors in barberry
eradication have given notice to
the owners of all barberries
found. The state law provides for
a notice of 80 days and, in case
of failure to destroy the bar
berries in 80 days, a fine of $25
to $500 and the cost of destroy
ing the barberries.
The greater number of per-
sons who have owned barberries
have been glad to dig and des-
troy them. Some persons have
even done this before the inspec-
tor arrived.
Mr.. Gilbert calls attention to
the fact that it is not sufficient
simply to cut off the tops of the
bushes. In order to kill the plants
the large roots must be dug out.
1t will save both the owner and
inspector trouble if the farber-
ries are thoroly dug and Destroy
ed at the time of this second in
spection.

The Police and the Automobile

The past year has seen gen.
eral Tightening of automobile
law enforcement ali over the
cuntly. The days when people
could drive a motor about as they
wanted to are passing.
Completely to enforce the regu
lations would take a police free
about equal to the number of
motrs owned. The speeder learns
to keep a wary eye out for the
cop when he passes thru town
centers, but he lets out his ma
chine in the customary way
when there is no officer visible.
Occasionally motorists get sum
moned into court for small tech
nical violations that amount to
nothing. But in the main the
large number who are being
made to pay fines do not really
get their full deserts.
Many of them need to be as
sessed much more than any
court is likely to give them
Many could be cntrolled only by
refusing them the right to drive
a machine.
While confirmed speeder is
not much deferred by little
fine it does have wholesome eff
feet on the average drivre. &c
be summoned into court is a
nuisance, and he looks at the
experience with misgiving.
There is a constant tendency
among drivers to relax vigilance
If they are late in making a des-
tination they quite likely fail to
observe the usual precautions.
Most drivers do things at times
which they recognize afterward
to have been reckless and con-
trary to the law.
1t will do them good if they
are caught in some little act of
negligence or burst Of over speed,
to appear in court and tell their
littl story to the judge. It helps
to realize that driving car thru
a street used by all classes of
traffic is a heavy responsibility.
The man who is occasionally fin
ed will probably be led thereby
to take precautions that will save
him very serious disaster later.

Don't Let Bugs Get A Start On
Potatoes

Those in and near Sisseton
who are doing some potato gar
dening ought just now to lay in
wait fir the first showing of peskv
bugs.
Mother bug is probably wait
ing in your garden or potato
field right now and will attack
the young plants almost as soon
as they appear above the ground
If this is the case the vines will.
be destroyed in few days.
These pests should be destroyed
as early as possible before the
adult beetles get chance to
lay many eggs or feed to any
extent on the leaves.
The young that hatch from
these eggs will do more damage
even than the adults.
A man who knows what to do
in such emergencies gives the fol
lowing advice:
AS soon as the plants are a few
inches high, spray them thorly
with powdered arsenate or lead,
at the rate of two pounds to so
gallons of water, or for the small.
garden, 10 level teaspoons of the
arsenate to one gallon of water.
Paris green may be used in
stead of lead arsenate, at the
rate of l pound to so gallons OF
water, l teaspoon to a gallon of
water, also adding three or four
/ times as much lime as Paris
Irreen to prevent burning of the
leaves. Lead arsenate is prefer
I'D because it sticks to the foil
age better and is somewhat
cheaper.
Spraying should be started
early and should be repeated
everytwo weeks through mos
sof the summer.
An important thing to know is
that if the arsenate of lead and
nicotine sulphate are added to
Bordeaux mixture the one COM
bined spray will control fungous
diseases, plant lice and chewing
insects.

1t Pays To Advertise

Don't expect people to know
you are a breeder of purebred
stock unless you advertise. One
of the best places to advertise is
at the State Fair. This fair is
maintained for the farmers and
unless you make a showing you
are so much behind. While visit

Removing Poverty

An enormous amount of pow
erty is due to popular vices.
Social diseases have broken down
the stamina of great numbers Of
men. The drug habit is not as
widespread, but is equally cor
roding. The men who get these
terrible curses fastened upon
them are removed from the
ranks of efficient labor. Their
families are henceforth subject
to the grinding curse of poverty.
A strict enforcement of the
dangerous drug laws, and a
frank, outspoken campaign
against social disease and illicit
social relations, will do great
deal to remove one prominent
cause of poverty.
Incorporate use of intoxicat
ing liqur may not so quickly des-
troy a mans working power
But it is an evil that his been
even more widespread and in the
aggregate terribly destructive.
The United States is about to
enter upon a great economic ex-
pertinent in the control of vice.
The advocates of prohibition be-
lieve it will have the effect to re
move one f the chief causes OF
poverty. Apparently the majori-
ty Of people have accepted that
view.
One of the most prominent
causes of poverty is the tendency
of great masses of people to set
tie in congested cities and live in
unwholesome conditions. Many
of these people rally like the
crowded and unhealthy slums bet
ter than the cuntry, which they
consider lonely. But until this
congestion is broken up, there
always will be pverty.
If immigration is ever admit
ted freely again, there should be
more of an effort to divert the
incoming tide from the great
cities into the country and small
er towns, where people can live
in more healtful and American
way. Also there should be
a more persistent effort to per-
suade people to move out of
these unwholesome surroundings
into the better conditions of
suburban and rural life.

A SheepIike Vegetable.

A curious plant growing in Peru IS
known to the native as 'yareta" or
vegetable sheep 1t grows abundant
ly among rocks at high attitudes along
the Andes of Bolivia and Peru, where
it constitutes a conspicuous feature
in the landscape because of its pecu-
liar manner of developing the So
called 'polster," or cushion formation.
The "yareta" forms hillocks or small
mounds often three feet high and
sometimes several feet in diameter.
Moreover, the entire mound is made
up of a single plant, not of colony
of individuals, and it attains this
enormous size and extreme compact
ness by a process of repeated branch
ing, so that the ultimate branches are
closely crowded and the outer surface
is continuous. The flowers of the
"yareta" are very thin, only about
one-eight of an inch long, and are
borne in small clusters near the tips
of the branches. The fruit resembles
a miniature caraway seed. The ma
tives use the plant as fuel.

Farmers May Obtain Large
Supply of Winter Fuel by
Utilizing Fallen Timber

Many farms have available large
quantities of timber, fallen and other
wise, which the farmer can prOfitably
convert into fuel for winter, says the
United States department of agricul-
ture, if he will provide himself with
the necessary pOwer-Operated equip
ment. A large amount Of labor re-
quired in preparing firewoOd has kept
many farmers from using wood for
fuel, but with the high prices for coal
it behOOves the thrifty farmer to con-
slider the advantage of investing in
wood-sawing machine which will make
il possible to utilize much timber on
his-land at a relatively small expendi-
ture of labor. 4 great many farmers
already have gasoline engines suitable
for driving such a machine. The lat
ter is comparatively inexpensive. One
outfit can do the work for several
