how to battle with the pests. He does
not like to use poison because he con-
siders it dangerous for the stock.
He has lived 1t Perham since 1870
and was homesteader before the days
Of railroads in that country. The
grasshoppers came to Minnesota in
1884 and struck his farm one day in
June, remaining over night, damaging
his crop SO per cent. They showed up
again in September and deposited their
eggs. The grasshoppers continued to
do damage for six years, many of che
farmers abandoning their land. The
state finally took the pests in hand and
hired much Of the land plowed deep in
the fall. The farmers who were left
would pillow burrows foot deep around
their land and the young grasshoppers
would fill up the bitches. The farmers
would scatter straw in the bitches and
see fire to it. They used pans with
coal tar which they would drag thru
the fields.

w. H. Mann Believes There is Plenty
of Gold Around MinOt.

"
Editor Independent:
I read in the old reliable Indepen-
dent that neighbor A. P. York has
been examining the crops of his hens
and extracted nugget Of gold worth
$3.50. Now, Mr.. Editor, if Neighbor
York had emptied the contents of the
chicken gizzard, he might have found
many times $3.50 in gold dust. The
find by neighbor York is no surprise to
me. Last fall helped Mr.. Wilson
load gravel at the bank southeast Of
the 500 round house and l saw gold
dust nearly every day. Some of the
loads that Mr.. Wilson had, had per-
haps 500 woth of gold dust and We
could see the yellow gold dust in plen-
ty. The fellow from Virginia who
drove Mr.. Wilson's team, and thot
the gold dust would make good Pike
all right. Mr.. Wilson placed nearly
500 loads of sand and gravel in the
road and we talked it over that the
time might come when the road would
be overhauled for gold. There may be
$4,000 worth Of stuff in the 500 loads.
All the dirt above Ignite coal has
come down during continental glacial
times and there is . possibility of be.
ing millions in gold around Minot. |

did not happen to come across any
