from his bed but could see no horses.
On his return to the house he saw

brothers, Amos and Charles and they
jumped into the auto and rushed to
the fire. When they arrived there
they found c. II. Stewart, the tenant,
and his family, sound asleep.
The Stewart family was Immediate

conf1agration they We're congratulate
ing themselves that their horses were

ale Western Cut Worm
Here Again Farmers Say

Several farmers Of this county h; yc
reported worms eating their grain
crops, some claiming that az high rs
IS acres Of wheat has already been
destroyed.
A. l.. Strand of the Montana En-
pertinent Station, who has been MAX
ing an examination of fields in the
northern district to determine if po>-
sible what may be expected from this
pest during the season of 1920, has
the following to say.
No insect Of recent years has prev
ed to be as serious a pest of grain in
northern Montana as the Pale West
ern Cutworm, which caused extensive
injury in this section during the past
three yekrs.
This eutworm, differing from the
more common species in that it feeds
exclusively beneath the surface Of the
ground, was first known in the south
ern part of Alberta, where, in 1915
close to $4,000 .acres of grain were
totally destroyed. Since 1915, when
it commenced its activity in Teton
county, it has been the cause Of i'm
mense losses throughout northern
Montana, with the greatest loHse:i stls-
tanned during the last three years.
Insect parasites have always been
the chief reason for the periodic ahun-
dance and then the sudden disappear
ance of most insect pests. An increase
in the pest is accompanied by a much
greater increase in the inSec, para-
sites, which then hold the DESTRUCTIVE c
pest in check. However, this Pale
Western Cutworm has been found to
be practically immune from such
parasites, probably explained ty its

natural check on this particular pest.
Thousands OF small excavations made
by the birds li%Eing out the worms
were a common %fi;ht through much
Of the cutworm infested territory.
However, Loyal The work of the birds,
it is believed that their efforts were
not sufficient to alleviate much dam
age this season. The moths, or par
cnts of the worms, which appear dur
ing the latter part Of August. are
known to have emerged in consider
able numbers and when it is consid-
cred that each female deposits from
300 to 400 eggs the possibility of this
insect maintaining itself in the fields
can be readily appreciated.
Experiment., both in Canada and
Montana, designed toward control OF
this pest, have proved to be only mod
erately successful. BY seeding into
the ground, bran poisoned with Paris
|green and Nude attractive to the
worms by the addition of molasses
mixed with water and salt, which
mixture is dried out before being
run through tho drill, has given fair
results. Small patches where the
forms are abundant can be treated in
this manner and given some protec-
tion, but the cost Of labor and ma
terials make it impracticable on large
acreages. The length of time the
worms remain active, from the last
of April to the middle of June is
feature IN the habits of this species
which makes it :, great problem and
adds to the diff, atty Of finding suit
able means OF control.
There is a possibility that the late
season, together with the heavy fall
Of moisture during April, which would
cause a. rapid Matching ofsaERe that
hutch lasks N
decided benefit but It ~ not thou&kt
that any weather conditions which we
have had hav. ahsolved the possibili-
ty of cutworm danger this year to any
great extent.

meeting of the Roosevelt County and
Indian Fair directors held on We'd
nesday Of this week, it was decided
to hold the 1920 fair on the 23rd, Gath
and 25th of September. 1t was
thought some time ago that the dates
might be moved up to the fore part
of the month but this has been dccid-
ed unadvisable inasmuch as it has
been a late spring and it will natural
ly follow that the harvest will be. cor
respondIy late and if the fair was to
be held the first part of September it
might be impossible to get satisfac-
tory exhibits of grains and vegetables.
The change in dates means that John
Dexter, who is to have charge of the
Roosevelt county display at Helena,
will switch his plans and make his
first showing at Helena in place of
Poplar. The directors of the fair
hold that in the end this might prove
to be the better arrangement for the
reason that if Dexter takes any prizes
at the State fair he will be able to

State Industrial Program Acts
Conform to Federal Constitution

decisions of the North Dakota su-

series of state constitutional amend
mcnts and statutes to carry into ef-
feet an industrial program in North
Dakota and permitting state bond is
sues to finance the enterprises.

ed valid bond issues -aggregating ST.,
O0O, 1000, authorized by the state legis-
lature for financing of a system of
statN owned grain elevators and flour
mills, farm land mortgages and a

The bond issues and the industries
in question were attacked on the
ground that they contemplated taxa
tion for private purposes and the is
sue reached the United States su-

one being an appeal from the state

instituted on behalf of group of AZ

FARM BUREAU
PlCNICS in R0OSE-
Welt COUNTY

The Roosevelt County Farm Bu-
reau has formed definite plans for
some real recrational picnios for the
farmers of the county during the
month Of June and July.
Plans are laid to hold community
picnics in 12 different localities in the
county. A picnic cannot be held in
every community, as much as it would
be desired, so the various commune
ties will unite. According to ten
tative schedule the dates have been
named for the various places and are
as follows:
June 14-Wideawake and Dry
Forks.
June 15-Waska and Pershing Com
munities.
Farmers Clubs.
June 16-Fairview, Seips and Gus
ker Communities. y
June 17.-Mineral Bench.
June 18.-Brockton.
These definite dates have been set
for the west end of the county and
tentative dates for points in the east
ern part of the county are July II to
II inclusive, these places will be an
nounced later.
In all probability James Griffin of
Chinook, an old time farmer, will be
engaged for these. picnics. His sub
ject will he Farm Loans and Farm
Bureau. In addition the various towns
of the county Will furnish some sort
of entertainment; each community
will furnish its own sports and amuse-
ments-there being games for all. Po-
tato races, fat mems jumping contests
and maiden ladies' boxing bouts will
be part of the sports. Every farmer
and his family should plan to attend
one of these picnics. Bring your
lunches and come prepared to have
your one big day Of the year.
