Thrashing is Started

Jake Noll in the southeastern part
of Darnen, threshed oats Monday that
went so bushels to the acre, while
80 bushels is reported from further
south on lighter soil. J. L. Rhody
brought oats to the Eames elevator
in Morris that went 27 bushels and
barley that went 25 bushels. L.
Negels brought oats from the And
rev Michaels farm to the Stewart
elevator from two separate pieces,
one of which went 40A bushels and
the other A bushels to the acre.
The last of the cutting of small
grain was done this week, and all
the threshing machines are starting.
From all indications, small grain
except small area of light soil
is going to thresh out we'll in this
county. Of course there are fields
that were hardly worth cutting on
account of having been put in late,
and being too rapidly forced during
the hot weather, but in general
yield and quality appear to be of good
average Stevens county soil has
again demonstrated it's ability to
raise a satisfactory crop with very
little rainfall.
During the week there have been
several howers which have delayed
the starting of threshing.
More stacking of small grain will
be done this year than for several
years back, and the plows will be
started much earlier than usual.
Corn is in the roasting ear stage.

Teachers Examinations Close

The examinations for Common
School certificates in this county
closed Wednesday night. About
forty persons all but three of them
women took the examinations. About
twenty-five teachers or about one
third of the teachers for this county
have already been selected according
to Ray Roberts, county superinten-

Story of Minnesota Wheat

Wheat is often attacked by certain
moths, beetles and mites while in
storage. These are far more trouble
some in the south than in the north.
In Minnesota most of the "weeviled"
wheat found by grain inspectors has
either been shipped in from the south
or stored in a badly infested granary
or elevator. The problem is largely
one of keeping the granaries and ele-
,vators clean and not permitting small
accumulations of infested grain to re-
main to infest the new crop.
The Angamois grain moth (Sitot
roga cerealella, Oiv) is the most COM
mon and most destructive of the
moths. The adult is small with
pointed wings fringed with hair. The
larvae are true caterpillars which
work within the wheat berries and
leave them entirely followed out. In
the south these moths lay their eggs
on the wheat in the field where the
first generation is past, but in Min
nesota their work is chiefly confined
to the elevators and granaries where
several generations may be passed
during the year if the temperature is
sufficiently high
The adult of the indian meal moth
(Plodit interpunctella Huebn.) is a
brown moth with light band across
the fore part of the wings. The cater
pillars do not enter the wheat berries
but crawl about eating embryo only.
While the Angamois grain moth lar
vac completely destroy one berry,
each of these larvae eats parts of
many berries.
The meal snout moth (Pyralis
farinalis, Linn) is a pest of moldy
wheat in which it spins silken tubes
mating the wheat together.
The granary weevil (Ca1andra
granaria, Linn) and the rice weevil
(Calandra aryZae, Linn) are true
weevils with long snouts, and are the
most destructive of all the beetles
which attack stored wheat. They are
alike in habits and appearances, feed
ing upon the wheat embryo as adults
and following out the berries as lar
vac. By far the greatest amount of
destruction of stored wheat is due to
these two species.
There are other beetles which in
! jure only the germ of sound wheat.
i Chief among these is the cadella
| (Tenebroides mauritanicus, Linn. }
Still other beetles confine themselves
to moldy grain depending largely
upon the fungi for their food.
The mites are very small eight-leg-
ged creatures which can hardly be
seen with the naked eye. They are
often present in great numbers and
may cause the wheat to heat.
The methods of combating these
pests are about the same for all spe-
cies. Clean granaries and elevators
, are more important than anything
else. Small amounts of grain left
over from one year to another may
contain insects which will infest the
new crop.
When the wheat becomes infested
the activities of the insects may cause
it to heat. When this happens their
development is very rapid for a time
due to the high temperature.
The remedies to be applied when
the wheat has become infested are
heat and fumigation. For fumiga-
tion, carbon dissulphide is used at

Chokio "Dug. "

Chokio Review.-The Chautauqua
held in Chokio this year proved a
failure, especially from financial
standpoint. Those who signed the
guarantee were forced to dig down in
their pockets to make up the deficit.
The program put on broke even, the
few good numbers offsetting the
poor ones. The "Cappy Kicks" play
given Tuesday evening proved by far
the most interesting of the whole
program.

WATER SOFTENING
PLANT IS ENDORSED
Commercial Club Approves Iron
Removal and Infiltration Plant
For Morris Water.

After listening to Mayor George
Geentys report of his Investigations
in regard to iron removal and soft
ening plants for city water, the mem
bers of the Commercial Club Friday
night passed a resolution requesting
the City Commissioners to install an
iron removal and Qualification Or
infiltration plant at Morris.
Mayor Geenty has spent the past
three weeks looking into the.
efficiency and expense of installation
of the various types of iron removal
and softening plants in an effort to
find out what. kind would be best
suited to the hardness of the water at
Morris.
He reported that at cost of about
$4,000 an iron removal and clarifi-
cation plant could be installed in
Morris which would remove the iron
by aeriation. When the iron was
precipitated by the action of the air,
it would be eliminated by filtration.
Such a process he said would greatly
improve the city water reducing it's
hardness from thirty-three grains a
thousand gallons to twenty-three
grains. This would do away with all
discOloration from the water, but
would not make it satisfactory
laundry water. The only expense
after the installation would be a
mans time for two hours day. Nor
ris would then have water of the
same hardness as Graceville.
do not expect the water to look
clear Immediately after we install
such a plant" said Mayor Geenty,
"because it will take a while to get
rid of the accumulation of iron in
the mains. Even Glenwood spring
water would be discolored if it were
passed through our mains now"
Mayor Geenty said the iron
removal and clarifying plant could be
used as a unit in larger and more
expensive plant which would soften
the water from thirty-three grains of
hardness per thousand gallons to
five grains by using neutraliz-
ing agents on the organic COM
pounds. Such a system would cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 to install
with an additional expense of lie
per thousand gallons for chemicals.
With the 100000 gallons of
water used last year the cost of the
reagents would have exceeded $12,-
900. In such a process it would be
necessary to use eight pounds of
lime, one pound of soda and one
pound of alum per thousand gallons.
In the less expensive system which
the Commercial Club recommended
the ferric sulphite in the water would
become ferric oxide through aeria-
tion without any expense of reagents.
AS the water stands at present the
precipitation takes place as the water
comes out of the faucet. With the
precipitation taken care of by expos
ing the water to air before it reached
the faucet and the organic matter
removed by infiltration, Morris would
have 100 per cent better water in
the opinion of Mayor Geenty.
With the approval of the Morris
Commercial club and other people OF
Norris behind them, the City Com
missioners say they will make a
strenuous effort to install an iron
removal and Qualification plant this
fall.
