Howe's Great London Circus Showed
to Large Crowds

The Howe Great London Circus ap-
peared in Minot Tuesday, giving two
performances before immense crowds.
The show grounds were located west
Of the Normal school. Despite the
hot weather and stringent financial
times, people demonstrated that they
can always manage to raise money
to see the elephant and to invest in
popcorn and red lemonade. The cir
Gus may not have been as large as
some that have appeared in Minot,
but the attractions were excellent
The riding horses were especially
good, some Of the horses shown being
prize winners in some Of the big
horse shows. The circus was clean
in every way and did not carry with
it the usual coterie Of crooks, short
change artists and gamblers.

TREES add TO BEAUTY and

The windbreak should be planted OF
the north and west sides at least, and
possibly on the south side Of the build
ing spot. The break also should be al
least 10 rods away from the buildings
as the snow will drift inside Of the
windbreak; IL the break Is too close
the buildings, the snow will lodge
around the buildings and thus be In
the way.
Inside the windbreak any Of the
other trees can be planted. Those BE-
fore mentioned can be grown, in add.
ton to such evergreens as white
spruce, Colorado blue spruce, Black
Hill spruce, western yellow pine. and
jack pine. The box elder is used quite
extensively as a shade tree and is well
suited to this on account Of Its rapid

other trees such as elm or blackberry,
cutting out the box elder after the
other trees have start.
On the drier soils the box elder and
elm will not do SO well, but the native
green ash will do better. For orna.
mental tree planting. birch, maple,
mountain ash. and many other tress
may be used, though they may need
some extra watering at times.

People who are real cutters always
clean up the picnic or camping
grounds before they move along to the
next place. Those who are really
sconsiderate regarding the comfort of
others will do this. With the number
of tourists increasing yearly, it il
very important that these regulations
be observed by all. Leaving picnic
grounds in an untidy, filthy condition
is indicative Of poor breeding.

straw can be expected to grow shout
half again as tall as the plant is 1t

CUT WORM IS
BEING STUDIED
State Entomologist Making
Study Of Lite Habits
il, Of Worm

Fargo. N. D., Sept. 3,-Dr. r. Z.
Webster, entomologist of the North
Dakota Agricultural experiment sta
ton, Is making a thorough study of
the life habits of the pale western cut
worm. which has caused 30 much
IN h Beach, N. Oak. locality. Or
binary control methods which have
been effective against cut worms are
ineffective against this worm, because
1t feeds underground. Poisoned bran
mash has been used with much success
against the ordinary cut worm, but
will not kill the pale western cut
worm because it will not come to the
top of the ground to feed on the
mash. DR.. Webster, in cooperation
withs the federal department, Of agri-
culture, is studying the habits of this
destructive pest to determine the best
methods OF control.
The worm. is Of a CLASSY greenish
color, and has two black lines upon its
head. The eggs are laid in the fall
and. by spring the young worms are
large enough to have an enormous
appetite for young wheat plants. The
moth which lays the eggs is Of a gray
ish COLOR,
A parasite has been discovered in
the vicinity Of Beach which feeds up
on these worms. and thus helps to
keep them in control. 1t had been
reported that because of its, UNDER
ground habits, the pale western cut
worm, unlike the ordinary cut worm,
was not subject to attacks from para
sites in this country. The parasites are
insects similar in appearance to house
flies and about SO per cent larger.
Golden Valley county reports the
most destruction by the cut worm,
but its depradations extend into half
a dozen counties in the southwestern
corner Of the state. JIt~also Is present.

losing business and from the present
loutlook tt appears that this condition
will probably continue for some time
as thu Germans are able toaoffer low

the high rate of the American dollar
Is taken into consideration.
However, it may be accepted as a
certainty that in the long run Ameri-
cans need have no great fear Of Ger

normal balance has been established
In International trade, * that the
American trader will not be handi-
capped by the high quotation of the
dollar, 1 am confident that American
manufacturers will be able to hold
their W with any country"
In such items as machinery, tools,
small hardware Of all kinds, paper,
wire, ETC., competition is particularly
keen, and the American manufacturer
has small chance OF getting orders
when price alone LIS the principal cons
stderation.
