and against the soldiers themselves

Bound by the common tie of suffer
ing, disabled ex-service men of the
Kingdom of the Serbs, and the Cro-
tians and the Slovenians thought of
their disabled friends in America on
the Fourth Of July. They Transcribed
their though in a message on that
day, which was forwarded to the Sec
retary of State ard to C. r. Forbes,
director of the Veterans Bureau ask
ing that it be broadcasted to the dis
abled men in the country. The mes
sage follows:
"The Associated Invalids of the
Kingdom Of Serbians, Crotians and
Slovenians, remembering most rever-
emily of the holy sacrifices which
America has borne for her liberty and
independence under the leadership of
the glorious General Washington,
have the honor to congratulate their
heroic comrades the celebration Of the
Fourth Of July, 1922.
"The invalids of this Kingdom love
to think Of the superhuman sacri-
fees which their American comrades
have endured in the course of the
Worlds War running from their dis
tant American continent to our res
cue and that of our noble allies and
drawing their swords in defence OF
the most sacred principles of human
ity, thus exposing to deadly danger
their very lives for our common cause
"They can never forget the prec-
ious help which the United States OF
America, through their knightly rep.
resentatives, have shown on the oc.
casion of the reconstruction of oul
devasted country as also in the intri.
cate diplomatic problems which have
risen after the War. .,:.s ,
'It is with fervent and spontane'
GUS enthusiasm that we greet our in

may suffer heavy loss the following
season when the spring brood of mag
gots feeds on the growing plants"
The insect spends the winter in the
"haxseed" stage on wheat, barley and
rye stubble. From these "flaxseeds'
emerge in spring the adult flies;
small, midget-like insects, only about
one-tenth inch in length which depos-
it their tiny eggs on blades of grow
ing wheat. On Matching the maggots
work their way down to the stem.
Hessian Fly maggots are found
within the sheath of the wheat plant,
never inside the stem. The full grown
msggot is pale in color, about one
fifth of an inch long. At the place in
the stem where the maggot lies the
stem will be indented. This weakens
the straw, causing lodging following
a heavy wind.
Any fields where this insect be-
comes common should be disced and
plowed during the fall. In this way
all the insects that are ON the stub
BILE are buried so deep in the ground
that the flies cannot emerge the fol-
lowing spring and infest next years
crop. Deep plowing is necessary and
the stubble must actually be covered
with several inches of soil to prevent
the flies coming thru it.
Dry seasons seem to be unfavorable
to the development Of the Hessian fly
in this part of the country. On the
other hand, an excess of moisture,
combined with warmth, especially in
early summer, favors the development
of the insect.

WHEATON TOWNSHIP

Threshing operation were delayed
for day owing to the rain of We'd
nesday and Thursday.
A field of so acres in this neighbor-
hood yielded 1000 bushels of wheat
which weighed 63 lbs. to the bushel.
This field of wheat was put in on fall
plowing, as was all the rest of the
wheat on this farm. At this rate the
crop or sumer fallow should yield at
least 80 bu. to the acre.

Misses Gretta and Goldie Benson
visited their uncle, Ernest Talcott, in
Bentinck township last Thursday.
Mrs. Albert Kissner has flock of
about 200 young turkeys, which will
doubtless be good price this fall.
Mr.. Kissner says their turkeys have
paid better during the past few years
than any other line Of farming-if

COUNTY TO HOLD
POTATO MEETING

A two day Potato Grading School
was attended at Minot last Friday
and Saturday and those in attendance
felt very we'll satisfied with the re-
suits. DR.. Couey of the N. D. Agr,
College showed specimens of the var
ious diseases and discussed the effects
Of these diseases on market grades.
Mr.. Sherman Of Washington, D. C.
in charge of potato inspection work
in Washington discussed U. S. in
spection together with a new arrange
ment whereby growers in N. D. can
get their potatoes inspected before
shipping.
Mr.. Buttner of Chicago, in charge
of the Chicago office, discussed grade
requirements while Mr. Russell of the
Minneapolis office demonstrated ac-
tual grading.
From 6 to 10 of the grading schools
will be conducted il Bottineau County
within the next two weeks and the
tentative program will be about as
follows:
1. U. S. Grades.
2. Identification of defects and how
they affect the grades.
8. The Inspection System.
d. The Situation on the Market.
5. Feeding Of Potatoes.
6. Farm Pits.
These schools will deserve the at
tendance Of every potato grower in
each respective community. One thing
is certain, after attending one of these
schools We'll realize why North Dako-
ia potatoes sell below those of other
states in spite of the excellent quail
ity of our potatoes.
Arrangements are being made thru
each association for these schools and
the secretary of your association will
notify you of the time and date.

Hessian fly damages have been

and Ward counties but on the whole
little damage is threatened from this
insect, according to R. L. Webster, en-

cultural College, who says that deep
fall plowing is the best way to destroy
them. ~, .E .,

FAIR NOTES

Inc memDcTS OF Cne BOCC1neau
County Shorthorn Breeders Associa-
ton met Saturday afternoon and set
the following dates for the Bottineau
Shorthorn sale; Friday and Saturday,
October 18th and 18th. Posters for
this sale will be published this week
! and placed throughout the Minot Fair
buildings next week as the first in
PRODUCTION to the big event in North
western Shorthorn circles. This sale
will be held the afternoon of October
18th. Fifty head will be advertised.
The matter of holding a sale of
other breeds of cattle and livestock
was discussed somewhat, and the mat
ter was left to the County Agent to
take up with breeders and to arrange
for the sale if desired. There are sew
eral Hereford breeders in the county
and also several Holstein sires and
sheep, swine and turkeys might also
be included in a sale. AS speciality
organization the Shorthorn men made
arrangements covering their own lines
only but are agreeable to an arrange
ment for sale which will promote
the livestock industry in general.
The matter of subjoining the An
nual Corn and Potato Show and also
a Poultry show to the Shorthorn sale
is still ir it's formative stages. That
there are possibilities in the way of
making the event rival a good eastern
fall fair there is not question, and if
the Fair Association would get behind
the project and stage it all on the
fair grounds where there are good ia
cilities for the holding of a show of
this nature it can be made a bowling
success. The benefits of such an event
would assist materially in a financial
way and to quicker upbuilding of
the needed improvements on the fair
grounds. A good cattle barn and sale
pavilion is a needed improvement,
and necessary one, when we come
to staging an annual sale here, as
also in connection with the regular
fair. 1t will not be long until there
will be crying need for an Agricul-
tural building to properly display ag-
ricultural exhibits, and the poultry
building needs enlarging. The forego-
ing are just a few Of the needed i'm
provements which are important to
the continued growth of the Bottineau
County Fair.
1t is up to US whether this coming
event can be made real success or
not. The dates being set by the Short
horn boosters it is up to everybody
interested to get behind and boost.
What shall we do about it? Stage it
under the auspices of the Fair Asso-
citation or otherwise?
Bottineau county livestock friends
of Major Person of Minot, will be
pleased to moNs.of his wonderful win
nings with his Guernsey cattle at the
Missouri State Fair last week where
he was right up to the top. His herd
is being shown at the Iowa State
Fair at Des Moines this week.
Good Turkeys Too
J. A. Toms of Bottineau comes to
the front and pronunciates that he
has a young Tom which weighs nine
pounds. This is going G. w. one bet
ter. J. A. and also his good wife are
interested in turkeys and have been
improving their flock by the intro
duction of good blood, and like the
Chapmans' they note great improve
ment in their young stock, especially
in size of bone and thriftiness.

EMERGENCY FUEL SHIPMENTS

The Board of Railroad Commission
ers as State Fuel Directors has made
canvass of the fuel situation in
North Dakota. Reports have been sub
mitted by dealers in coal and by opera
tors of Ignite mines. The reports of
dealers indicate that the supply of an
thracite and bitimuninous coal is
practically exhausted and while Or
! ders have been placed with whole
salers, there is no guarantee Of deliv-
cry. In fact, the Commission has COM
municated by wire and letter with
various wholesalers in Minnesota ano
Wisconsin, and we are advised that
they have little or 10 coal for distri-
button in North Dakota. 1t is there
fore apparent that many dealers and
institutions must appeal to the State
Fuel Directors for coal to be obtained
through the Federal Fuel Director
since a great number of institutions
in North Dakota are not equipped to
burn Ignite.
Coal ordered through the Federal
Fuel Director will not be consigned
to individual concerns in North Da-
kota. Blanks furnished by this Com
mission must be filled out and re-
! ,urneu TO the Eoard as State Fuel Di-
rectors. All coal shipped into North
Dakota through the Federal Fuel Di-
rector will be consigned to the Board
Of Railroad Commissioners and re-
consigned to the Board to it's destina-
ton.
A consumer making application to
the State Fuel Directors for coal
must arrange with his bank for pay
ment by making the necessary depos-
it or by securing a loan of funds,
within the limits of the National
Banking Laws, ard the State Banking
Laws, sufficient to pay for the coal
for which he is asking at the time it
is loaded in the cars at the mines.
With the payment so secured, the
banks, it is thought, will be willing
to furnish the necessary guarantee of
payment for the coal. This unusual
way of securing payment was made
necessary by the fact that coal under
orders of the Federal Fuel Director
moves to customers about whom the
shipper may have no knowledge and
with whom he never had any previous
business.
There is no anthracite coal avail
able for distribution at the present by
the Federal Fuel Director.
A representative of the Board of
Railroad Commissioners will be sent
to the Minnesota Docks on or about
September 1, and will remain there
until the emergency has passed.
Booklet on Lignite Coal
A short time ago the Board of Rail
road Commissioners requested Dean
Babcock of the School of engineering,
University of North Dakota, to pre-
pare treatise on the best methods
of storing and burning Ignite. Mr..
Babcock complied with the request of
the Commission and the information
is now ready for distribution in book
let form. The booklet also contains
well prepared treatise by Mr.. c.
Larson, a combustion engineer, who is
an authority on the best methods OF
burning Ignite.
The Commission feels that many
people are going to be called upon
to burn Ignite during the coming
months who are not familiar with the
best methods of burning this North
Dakota fuel. 1t is therefore the desire
of the Commission that copies of this
booklet be placed where they will dc
the most good.

s100 WORTH OF HONEY
FROM TWO HIVES AT A. c.

Fargo, N. D. Aug. 31-More than
S1OO worth of honey from two hives
of bees sent to North Dakota in four
2-pound parcel post packages from
Montgomery, Alabama, this spring is
the record made by two colonies of
Italian bees at the North Dakota Ag-
ricultural College under the care of
DR.. R. L. Webster, entomologist. One
of the hives has already yielded 2O9
section of honey, the other III.
"The honey yield of these hives is
not so EXCEPTIONAL for North Dako-
ta," states DIR. Webster, "for this
state with it's favorable climatic and
soil conditions, it's abundance of sweet
clover fields and other honey yielding
crops, is an ideal honey producing
state. This industry is bound to pick
up within the next few years in this
state.
Zone experienced man can care for
500 hives, and growers in many local.
tiles in the state can easily keep half
that number. Growers in some of the
sweet clover growing counties of the
state have hives that yield 200 and
more pounds a year, and when ane
considers that bees are being raised
successfully 100 or more miles north
of Winnipeg, Canada, the bugaboo
about wintering bees looks less for
midable than in the past. Of course
successful bee culture requires good
care and management, but these re-
quirements can be learned and are be-
ing learned by beginners right along
Bee men in North Dakota are plan
ming to organize a bee growers or
ganization this fall, according to DR.
Webster.

A. C. TO HAVE PRACTICE HOUSE

Fargo, N. D. Aug. 31-Actual home
conditions will be nearly duplicated in
the new 10 room brick practice house
to be built at the N. D. A. C. this
fall, according to Miss Alba Bales,
head of the home economics depart
ment.
''That class room instruction in
housekeeping does not carry over into
actual home conditions is common
criticism. Laboratories have been pro-
vided to aid in the teaching of theory
by adding practice, but individual in
itiative and resourcefulness are best
developed where real tasks are pre-
sented in their ordinary surroundings,
said Miss Bales.
Plans and figures, carefully calcu-
lated by the architect, will be on file
III the building for study by the girls.
Theses plans will show how various
changes in the plans of this ideal
house can be made without reducing
the rvitaia factors ana convenience. For
example, a comparison will be made
between the cost of such a building
built of bricks and wood. Reduction in
size may be made by leaving off the
sun parlor ard including the kitchen
in the main body of the house instead
of having kitchen extension.
Many state colleges have purchased
houses for home practice, but the N.
n q is tho first Tn h,lild on ideal
plans described especially for the pur-
pose. Bids for construction will be
opened September 16 and building
will begin soon after that date, &C
cording to Stanley Smith, architect at
the college.
