DEEP FLOWING URGED
IN FIGHT ON HOPPERS

Regina, Sask., April Ia. - "A two
days conference of Canadian and
United States entomologists was con.
cluded here with the discussion of the
best means to correlate methods Of
control of the ravages Of the grass
hoppcrs. Representatives were pres
ent from Montana, Minnesota, Wash
ington, Manitoba, Alberta and Saskat-
chewan.
Norman Criddle, federal entomolo-
gist, who presided, in addressing the
representatives, said:
eve would urge all farmers to p!ow
their stubble land deeply because when
that is done the eggs Of the grass
hoppers and the wheat stem saw fly,
which has caused considerable trouble
in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, are
destroyed.
ut is the unanimous opinion Of all
the entomologists here that grass
hoppers can be destroyed in all their
stages if the right means are adopted.
So long as the crop is still growing
there is practically no time when it
cannot be saved by correct applica-
ton of poisoned BATS"

F. J. SteGick is Deputy Superinten'
dent of Schools

QenI OF SCHOOLS
Mr.. and Mrs. F. j. Steffick arriv-
ed from a three months tour Of the
west and viii make their home in Mi
not. Mr. Steffick who has been sup
erintendent of schools of Mckenzie
county for eight years, refused to be-
come candidate again and when his
term expired in January, left for the
west accompanied by his wife. They
toured Montana, Washington, Idaho
Wyoming and Oregon, going over into
British Columbia, thinking that per-
haps they would locate in the west,
but decided that North Dakota was
good enough for them. MIR. Steffick
reports business quiet on the coast
and no improvement is expected until
our foreign trade gets better. The
farmers are perhaps more prosperous
than those of our own state and yet
they can get no prices worth mention
ign for their fruit land is high and our
own farmers have a better opportu-
nifty to make good on smaller cap
ital.
Mr.. Steffick has accepted position
as deputy superintendent of schools
of Ward county with Supt. Waller
c. G. Heen, the other deputy, remains
on the job. Mr.. Waller was com
PEELED to secure an additional deputy
to take care Of the increased work in
his department. Mr.. Steffick held
this position in Ward county for two
years before going to Mckenzie coun-
ty and he is regarded as very cap
able man.

Hans Hanson, Shoe Hospital Man
Severely Injured by Auto

Hans Hanson, the we'll known shoe
repair man, met with a very serious
auto accident Saturday evening at
$3.50 o'clock, when he was run down
by Hupmobile driven by Bob Nichols.
Mr.. Hanson was crossing the street
walking to the postoffice and was &C.
companied by his wife, when Nichols
is said to have come along at the rate
of 30 or 40 miles an hour. Hanson
protected his wife but had no chance
to get out of the way himself and was
knocked down and dragged along the
pavement for 30 feet before Nichols
stopped his car. VIM. O'Leary and
another man carried Mr.. Hanson to
the city hall where doctor was call
ed. Hanson was unconscious at the
time and suffering from burns on the
face, chin and both hands. Fortu-
nately no bones were broken. He is
able to walk out but will not be able
to work in his shop for some weeks.
1t is said that Nichols did not offer
to carry the man to the hospital.
Nichols is said to be the man who ran
over Marin Solien's little girl recent
ly. He has been employed in a lunch
room in this city.

SEN. BAKER HERE TO FINISH
PLANS FOR POLITICAL DEBATE

Senator B. F.. Baker Of Renville
county was in Minot Tuesday enroute
to his home at Glenburn from Chi
uago, where he was one Of the 1O7
delegates, six from North Dakota, who
assembled to accept the report Of the
committee of II, and to arrange for
the farmers to market their own
grain thru the United States Grain
Growers Inc. There were delegates
from every grain growing district in
the United States and Mr.. Baker says
that more representative body of
men could not have been gotten to-
gether. Mr.. Baker visited day or
two at his old home in Whiteside
county, ILL.,, and was fortunate in leav-
ing just few hours before the fierce
storm which visited that district.
Mr.. Baker met with the committee
in charge of the debate which is to be
held between himself and Atty. Fran
els j. Murphy, in the high school audi
forum in Minot, Wednesday evening,
April q at 8:15 o'clock. The ar
rangements for the debate are in the
hands of Atty. John H. Lewis and
Editor Darland of the Ward County
Farmers Press. The subject to be
debated is Resolved that the House
and Senate Investigations of the Bank
of North Dakota tend to show that
the bank has been a benefit to the
state as a whole. Senator Baker
will be the speaker for the affirma-
tive and Atty. Murphy the negative.
Each speaker will use so minutes for
the main arguments with 30 minutes
each for rebuttal. U. l.. Burdick of
Williston has been asked to preside.
He has not yet returned from the
Chicago meeting but it is expected
that he will accept.
The speakers promise to discuss the
issues in a friendly, gentlemanly man
ner tho the debate cannot help but
prove somewhat spirited. Attorney
Murphy is entirely familiar with his
subject as he was one of the two at
torneys in charge Of the House in
vestigation, while Senator Baker was
Chairman Of the Senate committee in
charge Of the investigation in the Sem
ate, and is quite familiar with the
proceedings in the Senate investiga-
ton.
The auditorium which has seating
capacity of nearly 1000, will hardly
be large enough for the immense
crowd that is certain to turn out.

state to keep sharp lookout for those

the raising Of more turkeys, as they
eat more hoppers than any other
barnyard bird. A large percentage

of the state to watch the roadsides
for hoppers the latter part of May
and the first part of June, and notify

Whiskey Running Thru MinOt on the
Wane

Whiskey running thru Mlnot IS on
the wane according to information
received thru federal prohibition Of
ficers. The Canadian border to the
north Of Minot and the roads thru
this city are too we'll guarded to suit
the whiskey runners who are said
to be operating largely west. Big
cars pass thru Minot daily enroute
west, presumably enroute to Havre,
Mont, and other western points,
where the border is poorly policed.
Just now Minot is infested with q
number of "high jacks, daring fell
lows who rob the whiskey runners
of their cars and contents. The "high
jacks" have also been at work re-
lieving some of our Minot folks Of
their good cars. This has made
business extra good for the theft-in-
surance writer's, tho the rates are said
to have advanced.
