DRAINS BIG SLOUGH

A slough in Kingsbury county thai
could not be waded with hip boots
this time last year was perfectly dry
the first day Of April this spring and
could have been put into crop a few
days before, even, il the owner had
desired. The reason for this phe
nomenal condition was that the owner
had put in a system Of drain tiles in
the meantime.
Lateral tiles were laid through the
fiat every 100 feet and parallel. They
We're laid from three to four feet deeI
and not single open inlet was left
in the system to endanger filling the
tiles with trash. The water all sinks
into the ground and enters the tiles
at the joints
This was a demonstration system
staked out by r. L. Patty, extension
engineer at State college and Dick
Lewallen, county agent, to show that
drain tile will work when properly
installed
There are more than so other sys.
TENS just like this that have been put
in over the state for the same pur.
pose.

CROP REPORT

The reports on the northwe estern
crop situation this week as a whole
are very favorable. Although about
two weeks late, the crops in many
localities are as promising as any dur
ing the past ten years. There has
cept in few places. South Dakota
in spots has had too much rain, 50
that grain in the low ground shows
some damage In north central North
Dakota and northeastern Montana
moisture is needed. In these same
districts farmers are quite anxious
about the grasshoppers. Some CORES
pondents who reported favorably last
week, now advise that grasshoppers
are very numerous. The amount of
damage If any, will probably be in
dicated within the next two or three
weeks. Most of North Dakota terri
tory which was damaged by high
winds has been reseeded to fax, oats
and barley. In northern districts the
farmers are still sowing coarse grain
and fax. The general stand of early
oats and barley is heavy for this sea
son of the year.
Corn in the southern districts is
making good headway and has fne
even stand and very little damage
is reported from cutworms. In the
northern sections corn is little late
due to cold weather. All spring SOW n
grain shows an exceptionally fine colo
and has a strong root. The winter
rye crop is quite uneven and thin in
many places. In the south, some Of I
has headed and cutting will probably
begin shortly after July first. The on,
drawback is the wheat situation, is the
shortage in acreage This crop !.
making fine growth and with favorabla
conditions can make up in volumr
what it lacks in acreage. We fee
that the prospects at present are eX
cellent in spite of late start. Wit
favorable growing weather and no Sc
rious damage from grasshoppers thC

cation for conversion is made.
The applicant must remit with his
application a sum not less than the
amount Of the first months premium
on the converted insurance applied for.
No credit is allowed on the perma-
nent converted policy for the premium
paid on the old form of insurance.
There is pending in congress a bill
which provides for lump sum payment
of converted insurance, instead of pay
ments in installments, as the law at
present provides for. AS the American
Legion is backing this bill, it is be
lieved that it will pass very soon. The
government has, therefore, delayed
the printing Of a policy until the bill
actually becomes a law, so that the
policies when issued will provide for
the lump sum settlement. The appli-
cation for conversion will however, be
acknowledged at once, and a binding
receipt will be issued pending the
issue Of policy.
If a man has allowed his insurance
to lapse, only two things are neces-
sary in order to reinstate it. Fill out
the application blank for reinstate
ment of war risk insurance or its
equivalent and mail it to the Disburs-
ing Clerk, Bureau of War Risk Insur
ance, Washington, D. c., together with
check or money order, payable to the
Treasurer of the United States, for
two months premium on the amount
of insurance it is desided to reinstate.
A man has to pay the premium only
on the amount of insurance he wishes
to reinstate, not on the amount he
dropped. He has to pay this premium
for only two months to make the in.
surance good again. He does not have
to pay any other back premium.

AMERICAN LEGION

@ - g
For those who do not understand
thoroughly the fearsOme red tape
necessary to convert government in
surance or to reinstate lapsed insur-
ance the following information will
be of interest.
The insured is privileged to con-
vert the entire amount, or any part
of his present term insurance, in multi
pies of $500, into any or as many Of
the permanent forms as he may de-
sire. However the first converted
policy must be for at least $1,000. If
the insured does not wish to convert
the full amount Of his term insurance
at present, he may convert part of it
now and part of it at later dates, con
tinuing the uncOnverted remainder as
term insurance for period not to
exceed five years. Premiums on the
old term insurance must be paid up to
date of conversion, covering the
amount to be converted.
Each question in the application
blank must be fully answered. When
completed, the original application
should be mailed to the Bureau Of War
Risk Insurance, Insurance Division,
Washington, d. c., together with
check, draft or money order in pay
ment of the first premium on the con-
verted insurance. 1t is advisable that
the application be executed in dupli-
cate, and that the applicant retain one
copy for his own information and fu-
ture reference
The effective date of the converted
policy will be the first Of the month
following the receipt of the applica-
ton, provided the premium on the Old
term certificate has been paid for the
current month. If such premium has
not been paid, however, then the con-
verted insurance will take effect on
the first Of the month in which appli-

Catholic Diocese of Porto Rico. who
has issued a warning to both priests

Agriculture at Washington, has been

Mr.. Phillips recommends two ways Of
Graduating the pests One simple plan
is to spray with a preparation composed
OF one pound Of paris green to fifty gal
Ions of water.
At c. H. Gaffin's farm the worms ap-
peared in his yard. but he turned his
chickens on them and they were soon
gobbled up. At A. ]. Dice's farm, in
Spotsylvania county, the worms injured
a fifteen-acre field of young corn. At

pests got away with five acres of GRIM
son clover and five acres of alfalfa The
clover fields of S. F. Farmer and A. ID
