Home Garden Pests
g The insects which prey upon
the home garden increase the cost
of living and add to the gardeners
t; labors, both in town and country.
They must be fought skillfully to
be exterminated.
Ii. SPRAYING COUNTS.

When mechanical methods of fight
ing the insect pests of the garden and
field cannot be applied, spraying is ad-
yised.
Spraying materials are of. three
kinds: The kind which is used
against insects which chew their food
or stomach insect1cide; the kind
which is used against insects which
suck their food from the leaf through
beak, and which must come in con
tact with the body of the insect.to car
ry 1t, or a contact insecticide, and the
kind used against plant diseases,
which is known as fungicide.
CONTACT INSECTICIDES: Soap
solution, tobacco extracts, and oils are
the most important contact insecti-
cides. These materials can be used
only when the insects are present and
must touch each and every insect in
order to be effective Insects are US
ually present when the leaves are on
the plants, so care must be taken to
have the material strong enough to
kill the insect and yet not strong

or saphis, leaf bugs, and fruit bugs are
some of the insects to be killed with
this kind of an insecticide. 8
e STOMACH Insecticides Paris
green, arsenate of lead, arsenate of
zinc, and arsenate Of lime are some Of
the most important stomach insecti-
cides. These. materials can be used
when the insects are at work or may
be used when the insects are not pres
ent but where the leaf eating forma
will be before the poison is washed off:
Sticking quality, therefore, is quite i'm.
portant for poison Of this kind. Leaf
eating caterpillars, potato beetles and
their grubs, and saWfy larvae are a
few insects that can be controlled b..
spraying with stomach insecticide.
FUNGICIDES: The important fun
gicide are bordeau mixture and lime.

OFFICIAL WASHINGTON Ex-
PEcTING RED WAVE IN
EUROPE SOON.
FORECAST PASSING OF OLD
REGIME FROM WARSAW & + !,
TozGlBRALTAR.

l 4 = s33 y ! sv . )
Another red wave that may put the
working class in power from Warsaw to
Gibraltar in the next few months is fore-
cast by official advices now ccunulating
at Washington.
Censorship is the only agency that
still functions atsthe command OF Western
European governments. Behind the
temporary screen the dissolution of the
old order proceeds at gallop. Out
standing items in the budget Of official
information gathered here are these:
Soldiers and diplomats look for Poland
to burst like bubble o'er-blown' after
the great drive in which her armies have
penetrated the war-wastes OF Ukrainia
without landing single serious blow on
the Red Army Of Russia. Behind the
Polish army food riots are developing
rapidly and the known bread supply is
less than enough for two weeks.
Hostile to Allies.
American commissioners report that
the four little republic" lying in the
Caucasus mountains between Turkey,
Persia and Russia are saturated with
pro-Soviet sentiment and bitterly hos
tile to Allied interference.
Asiatic Turkey is three-fourths in the
hands of anti-Entente Nationalist who
are negotiating a defensive agreement
with Soviet Russia, supported enthu-
siastically by the Mohammedan masses,
whose co-religionists enjoy complete
religious and economic freedom in modern
Russia
Syrian chieftains have denounced the
French Mandate over their country and
have summoned the tribes to arms. The
last straw of oppression was laid on when
by official decree the Paris Government
established an exact equality between
the deprecated French franc and the
much more valuable native currency.
Syrian couriers were at once dispatched
to Russia to solicit support in the war
against France. DO you know what
Bolshevism would mean to your people?''
Allied agents asked the Syrian chiefs.
I've prefer anything to French infu-
ence, the Syrians replied.
Famine and class wars are prevalent
throughout Bulgaria, hgo-Slavia,
Czecho-Slovakia and Hungary. Con-
ditionls vary from open revolt to passive
acquiesence by peasants and workmen
who have no fifth left in the competence
Of permarf nee Of existing governments.

!. BATTLING GARDEN INSECTS.

The insect pests which prey upon
the garden and make futile the work
Of the gardener may be fought in
many ways, says A. G. Ruggles Of the
entomology division, University Farm,
st. Paul. Mr. Ruggles advises the fol
lowing for certain kinds of insects:
HAND PICKING for large caterpil-
lars, the twig primer of the oak, after
the tWigs have fallen and may be gath
cred and burned, egg masses of gypsy
caterpillar, tent caterpillar, and tus-
sock moth, and other injurious forms
DESTRUCTION OF RUBBISH AND
WEEDS for many insects, like the
common stock borer, the cabbage
worm in its pupal stage, the plum cur.
culio-the worst pest of the apple
fruit-and others.
FALL FLOWING for insects of the
garden and field which live in the soil
like the raspberry fruit worm, wire
worms, white grubs, and grasshoppers
BANDING TREES with tanglefoot
for canker worm moths and caterpil
lars of different kinds which prey up
on tree foliage.
CROP ROTATION for insects which
cannot stand change of diet and
which are destroyed by not being able
to get their regular food.
ENCOURAGEMENT OF BIRD AZ
INVITES for all classes of insects.

TX. GROWING SEED FOR NEXT
YEAR.

Many of the common garden, seeds
can be grown in the home garden. In
this way varieties true to name may
be obtained if the gardener starts with
true varieties and does not allow them
to become mixed. There gardeners
may even improve the varieties year
by year by selecting and saving the
best plants to produce seeds.
The growing OF garden seeds, be-
sides assuring the necessary supply OF
seeds, furnishes an opportunity to
study varieties, to observe carefully
and critically the similarities and diff.
ferences in varieties, and to select the
best and most perfect specimens for
seed production.
I Garden plants are divided into two
groups, the ANIMALS, which grow from
seed and produce seed the same year,
like lettuce, sweet corn, beans, etc,
and the biennials, which grow from
seeds one year, are kept over winter,
and produce seeds the second year,
like beets, carrots, cabbage, etc.

Not long ago prize essay contest on
the benefits Of enlisting in the navy was
held by the War Department in the
schools of the country. The more we
hear about this contest the clearer we
see that the whole affair was nothing
but an ingenious and dangerous method
of propaganda In some high schools
Of the West, and perhaps Of the East
and South, too, this prize essay writing
was made compulsory for students. The
contest was no debate, but simply an
argument for enlistment in the navy.
The prize winners, in addition to their
gold and silver and bronze medals, get
a free" trip lat the Taxpayers expense!)
to Washington, where they will presum-
ably be admitted to the august presence
of Woodrow I, car of America.
The Natio1, points out the dangers of
this new method Of propaganda in its
own sarcastic way as follows:
Tt must be said that the War Depart
ment has been rather amateurish in
applying the method. 1t might have
had the nations school children argue
the benefits of universal military train
ing or Of compulsory military service.
A. Mitchell Palmer might start a
national school essay contest on the
Menace of Free Speech and the SUI
periority Of Suppression, with Albert
Sidney Burleson, Thaddeus Sweet and
Ole Hanson as judges: Josephus Dam
iels might start another on Americas
Need for Incomparably the Greatest
Navy in the World; in fact, the method,
might include compulsory prize essay
contest on The Necessity for a Third
Term. Why not?"

IN. DAKOTA LAWS
CONSTITUTIONAL
SUPREME COURT AT WASHING
TON UPHoLDs ENTIRE
PRoGRAM.
DECISION SOLVES ONE OF I'M
PoRTANT PROBLEMS OF
OUR DAY.

The United States supreme court on
Tuesday Of last week unanimously up
held the constitutionality of the entire
North Dakota legislative program. This
decision will make it possible to dispose
Of North Dakota bonds, which have
been unstable at New Y ork and Chica-
go so long as there was any question Of
the legality Of the program. This
further means, that now construction Of
the proposed big state mill and terminal
elevator at Grand Forks can be pushed
to RAPID completion. The Bank Of North
Dakota will have ample funds with which
to make long-term loans to farmers at a
low rate of interest. it is stated by men
connected with the movement
Was Unexpected.
The decision Of the supreme court came
quite unexpected in circles connected
with the farmer movement. When it
was announced early last week that
the supreme court would take "a recess
until some time in the early fall, League
s.} - ~
leaders were inclined to believe that
nothing would be heard from this vital
case until that time.
Was Sovereign State Right. ~
Z No one probably expected the deci.
sion to be otherwise than what 1T is fof
an adverse decision would have meant
|that no sovereign state could engage in
what it had the right to allow private
persons to engage in and that hundreds
Of millions Of dollars worth Of state
bonds out for cotton warehouses, drain
age, irrigation, prison industries and
probably road building would have been
invalid. It would have effectively
choked. off all possible means Of solving
the trust problem except by the futile
one Of mere regulation. The whole
country therefore owes a debt to the

viii. PLANT DISEASES A DANGER

Viii. PLANT DISEASES A DANGER.
Plant diseases are another source
of loss to the gardener. In order to
avoid them the following suggestions
are given in a bulletin in the course
Of preparation by r. S. Macintosh,
horticultural specialist of the extern
sion division, University Farm:
1. Select bean and pea seed from
healthy pods this year and save them
Tor next year.
2. Plant only sound, healthy pota-
.oes; soak for an hour and a half in
corrosive sublimate solution, u ounce
20 71a gallons of water in woodenaves-
sells Corrosive sublinate is deadly
POISON when taken internally. The
corrosive sublimate crystals must be
dissolved in hot water.
8. Keep the garden free Of weeds. i
4. Train tomato vines So that the
,ruit will have plenty OF air and light.
Don't crowd any plants
5. Never cultivate or hoe In the
garden when the plants are wet; dis
eases are easily spread by so doing.
g.. Destroy diseased plant parts as
ioon as they appear, in order to pro.
.ect other plants.
Z. Spray tomatoes and potatoes es-
,ecially with bordeaux mixture, 4-4-5O.
BEGINNING when the plants are about 8
inches high and keeping them we'll
covered throughout tie season. Spray
thoroughly, using a fine, mist-like
spray which will cover all parts of the
plant evenly without drenching.

farmers Of North Dakota, who over a
space Of Is. years have fought this thing
through to the last ditch and won.
AS for the anti-farrner ring which
brought the suit it has accomplished its
purpose, though seemingly defeated, for
that purpose was to hold up North
Dakota's state industries as long as
possible And its utter hypocrisy is
shown by the fact that it's speakers and
press are now denouncing the League
for not having more state-built homes
ready and more mills and elevators

1 ULM TEAM: BERTscH PlTc H
Es GOOD BALL.

/ X ( !. I
e New Ulm, lost its third game in the
Tri-C County League to Lamberton on
last Sunday when the local ball team
dropped an eleven inning game by g:
score of 8 to q. The contest was hard
fought throughout and but for a number
of errors on the part of the local players
the score game would have ended in our
favor.
Visitors Start Scoring.
The visiting team started the scoring
in the first inning, c. Nicholson the first
man up struck out on the first three
balls pitched. j. Nicholson singled.
Nickel sacrificed, J. Nicholson taking
second. Maloney walked, Corner then
singled scoring j. Micklesen. Bertsch
struck out the next man. From then on
till the sixth inning none Of the visiting
players saw first Then came an error
by Williams followed by stolen base
and single which Melted the Lamberton
team their second run, tieing the game.
That ended the scoring up to the eleventh
inning when Leedahl the frt man to bat
in that inning reached first on another
error by Williams. The second man up
struck out. G. Nicholson then flied to
Williams for the second out. J. Nickel
son then drove liner over third base,
Leedahl scoring on the hit, for the win
ming run.
New Ulm Scores in Second.
Both Of New Ulm's scores came in the
second inning when Born, the second man
up was safe on an error by second base.
Peterson who played first base for the
locals singled, Born going to third on the
hit. Petersen then stole second and
both scored when Bertsch hit the ball
in the right filed for a two-bagger. Al
though New Ulm had several more
chances to score, there was always the
necessary punch lacking. In the tenth
inning Williams was caught at the home
plate in an attempt to make three bases
on a hit by Muesing. Again in the
eleventh inning the locals would have.
tied the score if not forged ahead, when
Peterson hit a long fly to center field, the
fielder just catching the ball on the tip
of his fingers.
Bertsch Outpitches Opponent.
Frosty Bertsch, the local twirler,
outpitched his opponent, allowing six
hits and getting 10 men on strikeouts.
| Seven hits were gathered off Holmgren
and six Of the locals were retired on
strikes. s
New Ulm has now secured the service
Of billie Born who has been engaged
| for the rest of the season. Born is hard
worker and heavy hitter and will no
doubt prove his worth to the New Ulm
team. Now that both the catcher and
| the pitcher will make their residence in
this city and will practice with the boys,
New Ulm is bound to have a better
team and the fans can rest assured that
they will see some classy ball playing
in the future
Morgan Here Sunday.
Next Sunday the New Ulm and
| Morgan mines will cross bats on the local
diamonds. Every body should be there
and help the home boy get their second
victory.

Release of Mrs. Katc: Richards O. Hare,
one OF the best known of the political
prisoners, by special order of the presi-
dent is interpreted by some as fore
shadowing similar action in regard to
the others imprisoned for similar reasons.
Mrs. O'Hare had served over year OF
her fve-year sentence in the federal
prison for women at Jefferson, Mo.
Mrs. O'Hare was convicted on the
charge that during lecture at Bow
man, N. D., in the early part of 1917,
she had said that mothers who permitted
their sons to go to war were no better
than brood sows. She has always
maintained chat nothing of the kind was
said, but that in discussing the terrible
effects of war she pointed out how an
English bishop was leading a movement
to break down the marriage relation to
keep up the birth rate and that English
women who would participate in this
movement, for indiscrimate child-bear-
ing would be no better than brood sows.
t is noteworthy that Bowman, N. D.,
where she gave the lecture, was one of
the strongest centers in the movement
for her release, and it is not improbable
chat the war feeling Of 1918 caused the
jury to swallow considerable testimony
