NO CONTROL FOR FAMOUS PEST

Latest reports from the office of
the state entomologist, at the State
College in Bozeman, indicate that no
definite method of control has Leen
1ound for the pale western cutworm,
worst of Montana insect pests. The
two best methods apparently are sum-.
mer fallow and early spring blowing,
1T is said. The fallow must be allowed
to crust after July Is so that the moths
will not readily deposit eggs. Warn
ing is given that many farmers have
plowed up fields where they found
worms, because they thought the pest
was the pale western cutworm. In
many instances the worm has been
the army cutworm, which can be con-
trolled effectively by poisoned bran
mash. Farmers should be sure which
worm is causing the damage before
blowing up their crops.

1865, showing the growth Of the or;o.
inal Sequia Gigantea, in the famous
Calaveras grove of big trees. This
tree, in the year in which La Rce
made the scale, was cut down and q
dance hall was erected on the immense
stump.
According to the scale, the tree
started growth about the year $40 A,
D., at the time of Mohammed. When
the Battle of Tours was fought in
1872 the tree was 40 years old. AT
$50, when Christianity was introduc-
ed into Sweden the tree had attained
the age of 210 years. In $40, the be-
ginning of the reign of Alfred the
Great, the tree was 260 years old.
At 1866, the time of the Norman con-
quest of England, the tree vas $50
years of age. Thirty years later, at
the time of the First Crusade, the tree
was 4S0 years old. The tree had
reached the age of 600 in the year
1920, when Magma Charta was signed
and in 1880 when Wales was conquer
ed, the tree was geo. The tree was
$50 years old in 1850 at the time of
the battle of Cressy. When John
Huss, the reformer, was burned at the
stake in 1920, the tree had reached
500 years. When Joan of Arc drove
the English from France, in 1870, the
tree was growing steadily-it was
then $40. In 1920 when Balboa dis
covered the Pacific ocean, the tree
was 80 years older. At the time of
the defeat of the Spanish Armada,
1890, the tree was $40 years old.
The tree was 1880 years of age
when Oliver Cromwell was made pro-
tector in 1850, 114O when Quebec was
captured in 1850, 1156 when Americas
Declaration of Independence was sign
ed in 1776. 1t was 1880 years of age
when California was admitted to the
union, in 1850, and 1914 years old at
the close of the civil war, 1865, when
it was cut down.
The La Rue scale said that the tree
grew to a height of 302 feet, had a
diameter of 26.6 feet six feet above the
ground, and a circumference of 1926
feet. The area of the section of the
stump was 551.5 feet.

for bids or cattle and sheep grazing,
We print herewith the complete let
ter which is self explanatory:
Fort Peck Agency,
Poplar, Montana,
March %, 1922.
This office will be prepared to re-
ceive in writing applications by pros
pective lessees for sheep and cattle,
also all other stock on the Fort Peck
Indian Reservation for a term extend
ing to three years beginning April

sired. These descriptions will then be
checked in this office and leases r
pared for all allotted and tribal land
within this area. l would ask for
your protection and as a convenience
for this office that these applications
be made as soon as practicable as in
the event of conflicting applications
it will be necessary for us to make
adjustments.
Homesteaders and people living on
the reservation will be protected as
far as possible as against outside
parties leasing land which they re-
quire but in order to have applica-
tons considered prospective ~lessees
must apply for sufficient land to
carry the water contained in their ap-
plication.
Applicants will not be permitted to
lease land along water courses with
out taking sufficient adjacent land
and to prevent confusion and ~reiec-
ton l would suggest that all appli-
cants treat this matter perfectly fair,
both as to their neighbors, people liv-
ing on the reservation and the Indian
owner of the land.
The rate for leasing has been ap-
proved by the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs and is fifteen cents per acre
payable semi-annually for all tribal
and allotted land or in other words
such land as is under the jurisdiction
of the Government.
Lessees will be permitted under
these leases to place improvements,
such as fence or other necessary i'm
provements on the land and remove
same at the expiration of lease, or
they may if they so desire herd with
IN the boundaries of their lease.
The arrangement of these leases
has been arrived at after careful con-
sideration by the officials of this
Agency, Inspectors and the Depart
ment in Washington and it is felt in
view of prices received on other reser-
for similar land perfectly
fair.

those that are not found to be in
fected. Then a start should be made
with a new flock. Another way out
is to fence the diseased flock, using
the eggs and using birds that are
found to be healthy. The disease is
not transmitted to the egg by a dis

out, the poultry yard and house should
