FlREMEN WANT
MONEY FROM STATE

The delegates at the 9Th annual
convention of the North Dakota Fire
mems association at Williston are
very anxious to know why the state
auditor, D. C. Poindexter, has not
issued and sent out the warrants OF
the two per cent fire insurance tax
which, according to the state law:
was due June 1.

ton yesterday that the state treasurer
had Informed him before he left Bis
marck that there was $500, 900 avail
able to pay warrants should they be
issued and he saw no reason for the
delay. The fremen sent the follow
ing telegram to the state auditor:

ing six thousand members of the

WEEK FOR
SIGNATURES

In compliance with the order OF the
Commit Of Forty-Two which is the
central head Of the Independent recall
organization in the state, the state
headquarters has asked all petition
circulators, precinct captains and 9TH
er workers in every precinct in the
state to finish the circulating Of the
petitions for the new constitutional
amendment, the initiated laws, and so
far as possible the recall petitions
next week. Those who have not COM
pleted their allotted work prior to that
time are asked to set aside their 9TH
er work, beginning Monday, the thir-
teenth of June, and devote themselves
to the circulating of petitions and to
have the work completed as early in
the week as possible, in al events not
later than Saturday the eighteenth, so
that petitions may reach state head
quarters by the twentieth. Petition
circulars have instructions as to
where to send their petitions.
The question for every voter to an
swer for him or herself in this recall
election campaign is: Shall l help to
remove or help to not remove from
Office public officials who are guilty of
mis-using and squandering several
million dollars, and using part of it
for their personal benefit. They are
in office now. Therefore, everyone
who does nothing to help get them out
helps to keep them in and permits the
squandering of public funds to con-
tinue until January 1923.
All precinct captains, petition cir
culators and other workers of the In
dependent organization are volunteers,
serving without pay, therefore, all vot-
ers who believe in honesty and eff
cheney in public service should do ev-
erything they can to make it as easy
as possible for the petition circulators
to get the signatures Of the voters, on
the petitions.

The state firemen are getting peev-
ed because they cannot get their
money from the state and while at
Williston they sent a message to the
state auditor asking why they could
not get the money due them. This IS
the polite answers received from the
state auditor:
"Warrants mentioned not drawn
account low state of general fund and
current collections very light. This
office takes the stand that salary OF
ampoyes and current expensesl should
be given prior consideration. Un-
derstand H. L. Reade made statement
that there was a balance of over
100000 in the general fund, his
figures evidently obtained from treas
urer books, which cannot be used as
authority inasmuch as they take no
account of outstanding warrants.
] Balance after prior accounts paid ap-
proximately $145,O00 without consid-
ering June expenses and salaries.
D. C. Poindexter."
H. L. Reade, secretary OF the state
association, in a statement to the
press last night, stated that he is 60
ing to stick by his statement that the
state treasurer said there was $780,
900 on hand ready to meet the war
rants the minute they were presented
The whole upshot of the matter is
that the administration has diverted
the money placed in the treasurer's
hands for the firemen to some other
purpose and now the state is unable
to pay it to the fremen. This money
is placed in the state treasury by the
fire insurance companies and has been
so deposited but it evidently now is
among what is known as frozen
funds" The, fire boys are not very
much in love with the treatment they
are getting from the state administra-
ton.

POISONED MOLA SSES FOR
KILLING COTTON BOIL WEEVIL

There seems to be little reason for
the use at any time of poisoned molas-
ses in preference to plain calcium ar

IN view OF experiments conducted by
the Bureau of Entomology, United
States Department of Agriculture.
busted calcium arscnate, the tests in
dlcated, is superior to the molasses
mixture except during exceedingly
dry weather and on very small plants.
Keen interest has been evidenced
recently in certain parts of the cotton
belt over the possibility of poisoning
the weevil with mixture of molasses,
calcium arsenate, and water. SO
many inquiries were received by the
department. concerning the efficacy of
the mixture, together with reports of
excellent results secured in it's use in
the field, that a series of tests were
undertaken by the bureau of deter
mine the relative merits of the two
methods of controlling the pest.
The first series of tests consisted of
cage studies comparing the weevil
mortality on plants treated with the
molaSses mixture with the mortality
on plants busted with plain calcium
arsenate, and also the death rate on
imprisoned! check plants. Various
concentrations and amount sof mo-
lasses mixture were tested, and the
entire series was repeated five times.
In all &c different cage tests, nvolv
ing the use of about 1900 wccvils,
were included in these series.
1t was found that while molasscs in
combination with calcium arsenate ex-
erclses a certain degree of control
over the boil weavi it is generally no
more than that secured with plain
busted calcium arsenate. Under ccr-
tain conditions much better deproo
of control was had from the mixture.
but this result was noted only in the
case of very small plants averaging
only a few inches in height and also
only during exceedingly dry weather
The latter fact was particularly no.
tlceable and is probably the kcy to the
yariatlon in results, the department
believes.

to choose plants alike in varietal
character and earliness. When ripen
ed until dry, pull these plants in the
early morning, in order to avoid shat
terlng, and hang or spread them in an
airy, dry place until the seed is quite
hard. Then shell the seed, spread it
out not over two or three grains deep.
and when thoroughly dry store it for
the winter in bags of coarse open
meshed fabric hung in cool, dry
place.
Pods which for any reason have
been overlooked when picking beans
or peas for the table should be saved.
since they can be shelled for seed,
though inferior to the selected stock
described above. In saving seed from
remnant crops of this kind it is we'll
to discard all pods containing only one
or two seeds, as these may have come
from plants with tendency to pro
duce poorly filled pods.

GERMANY SWEPT

Berlin, Aug. 8.-Consumpticn of

months, ling the jails of every city

MAKE EARLY PREPARATION
FOR THE NEXT CORN CROP

Nothing in the line of corn culture
is more important than the selection
of seed ears and the preparation of
land for the next seasons crop. Both
of these operations should have atten-
ton in the late summer and early fall
OF the previous year, say experts of
the United States Department Of Ag-
Yicg we. Seed can best be selected

ears may not grow at all or may pro-
duce weak, barren stalks. Farmers
Bulletin 1176, Control Of the Root,
Stalk, and Ear Rot Diseases of Corn"
which may be had free by writing the
Department Of Agriculture, tells how
to detect the diseased ears.
Seed ears may be selected as soon
as they have gotten their growth and
before the sap is entirely out of them.
By picking them at this time, the grow
er avoids danger of sprouting in the
field with moist, damp weather, and
also the danger of destructive insects.
After they are picked the ears should
have their moisture taken out as
quickly as possible. All that is neces-
sary is free circulation of air. This
can be obtained by drawing back the
husks, tying the ears together in pairs
and hanging over wire. II ears are
hung in 200 large clusters there is
danger of mildcw. Care should also
be taken to avoid freezing, especially
before the ears are thoroughly dry.
Fall plowing is a matter governed
by local conditions, and the farmers
judgment will be called into play. In
some localities it is better to plow
early for the conservation of moisture.
Flowing under all of the humus is adj
visable wherever it can be done, to
improve the physical condition of the
soil and increase it's fertility and thus
produce strong, vigorous corn.

SELECT BEAN AND PEA SEED
BY MARKING FINEST PLANTS

The best seed of beans and peas is
to be obtained by marking few of

the beginning of the harvesting season
and allowing the crop Of these plants
TO ripen completely, say experts of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
