SENATOR LADD
IN BIS NJ ARCK
FOR FEW HOURS
COnfers With Business Men
Relative to Flood Control
Plans in State

Senator F.. F. Ladd spent a few
hours in Bismarck yesterday con-
ferring with some of the business
men in reference to federal matters
affecting this section of the state.
The Senior Senator is especially in
torested in getting the people of
this section aroused upon the mat
ter CT flood control of waters in the
upper Missouri river basin.
Millions are now being expended
in the south for levees, dams and
other means of flood control and
Senator Ladd is of the opinion if
enough demand is shown that the
southern senators will join with the
north in scheme to impound the
waters at their source.
He is in favor of trying out 4
small irrigation and power project
on one of the small streams such
as the Heart river. If this works
out successfully his plan is to- ex-
tend the projects. But the chief
aim is to conserve these waters in
the spring and to utilize them for
power and irrigation purposes.
While here he conferred with j. H.
Worst upon plan of reforestration.
Senator Ladd stated that if ten acre
plots could be planted to trees, he
believes that the moisture would be
held better in this section that the
climate would milder and that there
would not be so much menace from
hail.
He says that in Germany when
ever a farmer cuts down tree on
his farm he is compelled to plant
another and that Mr.. Worst stated
that in Norway when one tree is
cut down two are planted in it's
place.
Senator Ladd believes that federal
aid can be secured to place in North
Dakota especially in the slope Sec
tion number of ten acre forestry
plots and that the farmers who car
ed for them would receive aid for
this purpose.
Senator Ladd left for Fargo Fri
day evening and plans to leave ear
ly next week for Washington.

Members Of the city commits

to the extent of eliminating the
pumps for fire protection from
the plant and the securing of
this pressure through the use

Chicago. June 30.--Bullish reports

and Dec. $l.05 IA were followed by

IN Isolated PLACES

Fargo, June 30.-George C. May
ough, in charge of the governments
campaign to eradicate the barberry
bush in North Dakota, stated today
that reports of black stem rust in
the Northwest had no general bear
ing on North Dakota, as only a few
isolated cases of rust had been dis
covered in this state. Although
many cases had been reported to
him he said that on investigation
nearly all of these were found to be
without foundation. In Cass coun-
ty, near Christine, one case of
blackstem rust is being treated by
government officials in charge of
Dr.. Butler of Washington Another
case of black stem rust was found
near Moorhead, Mimi. and that is
also being treated by Mr.. Mayd,ghs $
forces. This morning indications Of
rust in wheat were found in expert
ment tracts at the Agricultural Col
lepe tract at Fargo but these are be-
lieved not to be caused by the bar
berry bush but by disease known
as weed rust

The portrait of President Harding
on the 2-cent stamp and the change
of color to black are a fitting
memorial Of a peoples sentiment.
It is good for us that we thus mark
an event as full of meaning for the
nation A good deal has been
written about the indignity of using
portraits Of our presidents where
they were Immediately to be married
by cancellation, but that is rather
foolish sentimentalism. A new
stamp carries a message to thousands
Of persons the world over And
our own 2-cent stamp is especially
notable because from the beginning
the stamp on our first class postage
has borne the likeness of Washing
ton, except when some occasion was
to be marked.
A few years ago there were three
commemorative 2-cent stamps in one
year. A large pictorial stamp
marked the celebration Of Fulton's
steamboat; a large stamp was issued
for the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposi-
ton. But for the centenary of
Abraham Lincoln's birth nothing
else was thought so fitting rs a new
portrait of Lincoln on the regular
sized 2-cent stamp. So today the
Harding stamp goes all over the
world, reminding people who may
have thought democracies, with their
hurly-burly Of politics, did not have
much regard for their individual
leaders that America mourns.-M Mil
waukee Journal.
