THE PILL

TINE pill is n small, round object
i which is fed with the utmost
abandon to patients who would rather
eat something else.
n of the best things that was
ever done for the medical profession
was when somebody invented the
harmless white pill which could be
sold at Il 900 per cent margin. After
a young doctor who is just out of
school has fed n few tons of these
pills to the people of his community,
he can quiz work and lie around q

SIX CARS POISON
BAIT IS PUT OUT
During the Past Month Ward County
Has Made Strenuous Fight on
Pests-Must Spread Poison
Before Grasshoppers
Fly.

During the past month approxi-
mately carloads of poison material
have been distributed throughout
Ward County in an effort to eradicate
the grasshoppers which have threat
ened to destroy the larger percentage
Of the crop.
This situation while not as critical
as in some Of the adjoining counties,
has caused good deal Of anxiety ,on
the part Of the farmers. In some dis
tricts> of the county the grasshoppers
appeared to hatch out in greater num-
bers and especially in the districts
where the soil is the lightest.
They seemto be more numerous in
these districts.\ The north and east
section of the county has been most
unfortunate in having large numbers
Of grasshoppers, while there are quite
number in the Gooseneck and Ryder
district. \.
On the whole we are getting better
results this year in the eradication of
these pests, which we attribute to .
better system of mixing the bait, and
more thorough educational CAM
paign, giving the farmers better
understanding Of how the bait should
be applied.
We have experienced great deal Of
trouble in keeping the supplies on
hand, owing to the great number Of
-four mills which are not operating.
Bran is very scarce and the shipping
facilities appear to be very poor, caus-
ed no doubt by the switchmen strike
which delays the cars in the Twin
City Transfer. The supply OF arsenic
is practically exhausted, and the coun-
ties that were not in the market last
winter and did not buy their arsenic
are experiencing a great deal Of
trouble in getting arsenic. Ward
county, however, has had plenty Of
arsenic until the last few days we
were forced to use Paris green which
serves the purpose just as well, but
the cost is higher.
It is the general opinion that it
does not pay to try to poison grass
hoppers if they get large enough to
fly any distance. They are then
spread over the field 80 that it takes
great amount Of poison with less
results. For this reason we have been
making every effort to get the poison
while the grasshoppers are small and
along the road side.
