"Hayseed" Mercer's Discovery

ST. Mercer. of Larimore, Who is
quite we'll know by number of the
older residents of LaDgdon and i'm
mediate vicinity, is credited with
having made the discovery that the
wild Linaria, is the distributor of
black rust and the fact already is
attracting wide interest and atten-
tion over the entire wheat growing
area of the Northwest. Rusted Lin
aria was found in many places over
the state during the past summer
close by badly affected fields of
whest. The assertion made by Mr..
Mercer is that it is just as reas on.
able to suppose that the Linar ia
plant ia as liable to be distributor
of rust as the Barberry bush is. 1t
may be disputed by pathologists that
the spores on the Linaria are not
identical with the black rust spores
on the wheat plant. The discovery
has already reached the stage where
high authorities disagree on the dis
covery. In the meantime extensive
preparations are being made to make
a thorough investigation of the dis
covery during the growing season of
the coming summer by Mr.. Mercer in
the immediate vicinity of Larimore
as we'll as other parts Of the state.
He states that an attempt will be
made to immaculate wheat stems
with the Linaria rust.

Jim MCDouga||
Died on Sunday
Another Early Day Pioneer
Landmark of Langdon
Summoned Home

Langdon people were shocked,
though it came not altogether as a
surprise. when news reached here
from Long Beach, Cailf., of tha death
of James D. McDougal. The tele-
gram arrived Sunday afternoon stat.
ing death had occurred at an early
hour that morning.
+ "Jim" cDougall had been resi-
dent of Langdon for upwards quar-
ter Of a century and probably had a
wider acquaintance generally with the
people of Cavalier county than most
old pioneers of the early days. His
general health had been gradually
failing for year. Early in the win
ter he went to Rochester, Minn.. and
after consulting specialists proceeded
direct to Long Beach, with the hope
held out it might prolong his life
a few months. He was in his fifty
fourth year and leaves an only sister
who nursed him in his last illness.
In Towner county there is brother
in-law and other relatives. Here in
Langdon he had many warm friends
in fact all who knew him feel the
loss to be one that takes from
amongst us another from the rapidly
thinning ranks of the pioneers of
Langdon's early day history. He
was active in Masonic circles, also
belonged 10 the Modern Brotherhood
of America and had been identified
with the Caledonian society of this
county from its first organization
The funeral Tuesday was given due
Masonic honors and attended by al
from Langdon and vicinity who are
wintering in the Long Beach and Los
Angelic colony of California.

CONWAY C|NNERS
 ALSO CUT PRICES

Feeling that the ginners should as sst the farmers and absorb part of the loss occasioned by the heavy slump in cotton prices, Conway ginners to- day announced a reduction in rates on 20 per cent, to the old figures of 30 cents per hundred pounds for seed cot ton. Several rural gins had already made similar cuts.
 "The reduced price of cotton does not make the cost of ginning a cent lower" P. r. Cleaver, manager of the Conway Cotton Oil and c n Company, said today. Coal is much niger than ever before, machinery and supplies are higher and labor is no cheaper. But we feel that we should assist the farmers as much as possible in the present emergency and have an- nounced a 25 per cent reduction in our gining charges"
