MORE NEW SETTLERS

Close to a dozen new settlers with
their cars Of immigrant goods arrived
in Ladysmth the past week At this
rate. the number of cars received last
year will look small indeed in cOmpar-
ison to this years movement. The es.
innate is that more than twice as many
new settlers are coming this year than
last. If we could just keep doubling
that way for a few years Rusk county
would have a bigger population than
Chicago.

Cultural Methods.
Land to be planted TO corn the fol-
lowing spring, especially such land as
has lain in grass for a considerable
time and is likely to contain cutworms,
should be plowed in midsummer or
early fall about the time the eggs are
laid. or, better, before the eggs are
laid, for then vegetation which is suit
able for the. moths TO lay their eggs
upon is removed. The earlier the pre-
ceding year grasslands to. be planted
to corn are plowed the less will be
the probability that the cutworm
moths will have laid their eggs there
on, and the less. consequently, will he

following year.
Late fall and winter blowing Of
grasslands. although not as effective
as early blowing. will destroy many OF

such other important pests as white
grubs. and should be practiced when
