Wheat Farmers
Raise Livestock

st. Paul, Minn.-Wheat farmers of
the great northwest are going into the
dairy business!
Hard hit by losses of the last three
years, they have decided to recoup by
turning over large tracts of their land
to raising livestock.
This trend toward dairy farming has
been apparent for several years in the
Red River valley of northwestern Min
'nesota. Now it is spreading through
out the great northwest. 1t is being
encouraged by the railroads and farm
banks there, and is even looking to-
ward financial encouragement from the
government.
The Coulter bill, drawn up by Pres
ident Coulter of the College of Agri-
culture of North Dakota, would make
available to wheat farmers $4,000, 900
in loans for the purchase of livestock.
But many aren't waiting for assist
ance. They are going right ahead to
share in the profits of dairy farming,
to make UP for the losses they incurred
in the past from raising wheat.

Boston, Mass.-A tiny wasp-like in
sect, transported from Europe, may be
the salvation of the American corn
crop.
Since 1917 the United States and
Canada have been battling a losing
fight against the European corn borC~.
Year by year, this treacherous insect
has eaten its way farther and farther
into the corn belt, threatening this
country's most valuable crop with des-
truction.
In Massachusetts alone, this insect
has already done more than 100000
damage, not only to corn but to vege-
tables and other plants in the infested
areas.
Now scientists connected with the
U. S. Bureau of Entomology believe
they have discovered the corn borer's
nemesis.
1t is a parasitic wasp that feeds on
the corn borer itself, destroys the in
sect and itself is harmless.
!. European Insect.
Both corn borer and wasp come from
Europe. The corn borer was first dis
covered here in 1917.
Broom corn, used for the manufac-
ture of brooms, was being shipped to
factories in Amsterdam, N. Y, and
Everett, Mass, from Hungary and
Italy. This, it is believed, was the
way the corn borer got in.
Soon the insect was discovered in
sweet corn and other forms of edible
corn and forage. The area around
Boston first was discovered infested,
and quarantined. Then the area around
Buffalo and Schenectady, NY, became
infested, and by 1921, strip, almost
entirely surrounding Lake Erie, in
Guiding Canada, came under quaran-
time a

Secret service men in Chicago de-
clare that these two men are two of
the cleverest counterfeiters that the
country has known for years, They
have been under surveillance for three
years, the trail having led all over
the country.
Raid Staged Here Recently.
The end of the trail doomed up on
Monday, May 10Th, when one of the
brothers was arrested while he was

was given as Boris Dimitroff but it
has later been discovered that his
real name was Kosta Dimitroff He
was taken into custody by secret
service men in Chicago and under a
severe grilling admitted that his home
was in Kenosha.
With this information secret service
men FASTENED to Kenosha. With the
aid of the local police they located
the apartment occupied by the Dimi-
troff brothers here at SCI Newell

VICTOR HERBERT
DIES SUDDENLY
Composer and Director of Opera is
Stricken on His Way
to Physician.

New York-Victor Herbert, composer
and orchestra conductor, is dead, and
today tokens began pouring in show
ing the esteem in which the country
held the man who enriched its music
with scores of waltzes and operattas
and gave this country, in "Natoma,"
one of its first motive grand operas.
He died yesterday of an apopletic
stroke. He was sixty-fve years old.
The funeral tomorrow will be @at-
tended by virtually everyone promin-
ent in the musical and theatrical art.
Delegations to attend the funeral in
clude the American Society of Com
posers, the Authors and Publishers
association; the Lambs; the Friars;
the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, and
the Twenty second Regiment.
Mr.. Herbert was born in Dublin, the
grandson of Samuel Lover, the novel
list. He was at the age of seven study
- music in Germany uueAr leading
masters. 1t was as V1oiiucello virtuoso
that he entered the music world and
the role in which he came to the
United States, being invited to be
soloist for the Metropolitan Opera
company.
Best known for his waltzes and
comic operas, Mr. Herbert, an indie
fatigable worker to the last, preferred
TO be known for his contributions to
serious opera. Besides "Natoma"
which was produced at the Metropoli-
tan in 1912 he wrote in 1917 one
act opera, Nero and Leonardo" which
was cordially received.

SET PLANS FOR
SIDEWALK WORK
City Has Set Program for
Fixing Sidewalks Thru
out Kenosha.
DIVIDED INTO SECTIONS

Kenosha is to proceed systematl-
cally in the repair of sidewalks thru
out the city. This was the pith of an
announcement made this morning by
City Engineer Robert Smith regard
ing the program for this work which
has already been launched.
There will be no more haphazard
patching here and there but the re-
pairs will proceed street by street until
the entire city has been covered. No
tees are now being gotten out to prop
erty owners to repair their sidewalks
in keeping with the ordinances; these
will be followed by the city taking up
the work and doing it at the expense
Of the property owner as provided IN
the law. According to the law, the
property owner has 20 days in which
TO repair the spot in question and in
the event that he elects not to do that,
the city will then proceed to carry on
the work In practically all instances
the property owner finds it much more
reasonable to allow the city to do the
work rather than to attempt to do the
task privately.
Many Reports Filed.
Quite a number of reports have been
filed with the city this spring as is the
usual practice. Rather than repair
them one by one it was thought advis-
able to divide the city into sections,
each of which will be taken care of in
turn. This plan was inaugurated last
year and several streets have already
been repaired their entire length.
Some defective walks have only
small holes or minor defects in them,
but are hazard to pedestrians never
theless and must be repaired. In some
cases where the roots of trees have
forced one section of the walk above
other as the definite program has been
err can eliminate the dangerous condi-
tion by chiseling off the edge of the
higher section. The city itself has
been found to be an offender with
several school, cemetery and park side
walks in defective condition and these
will be repaired along with the others.
In every instance the work will be
kept at a minimum and the property
owner will be saved as much expense
as possible.
Work Continues Indefinitely.
1t may not be possible to cover the
entire remainder of the city this year
but the survey and repair work will
be kept up until every walk is safe and
seiNiceable. Contracts have been made
with contractors for the work at a
most favorable price and this will con-
tinue until the task is completed.
Property owners are invited to CO.
operate with the city in the matter of
repairing sidewalks. 1t is useless,
however, to flood the department with
complaints from one street or the

adopted and in time all walks will be
repaired. In the event of most SER
ious condition report at once is adj
visable.
No notices are being served at this
time when the repair work will entail
major grade charges; these walks will
be taken care of at latter date.

One-Tenth Infested.

One-Tenth Infested.
Now, some $500 square miles of corn
land bordering Lake Erie on the Unit
ed States side alone, are infested. The
total area. may very well reach to 49,
900 square miles.
The fact that this about 10 per
cent of the total acreage of corn land
in the United States, points to the
rapid spread of the corn borer since
1917.
Even today government men are
scouting the quarantined and neigh
boring areas trying to prevent further
spread of, the insect. They are devot-
ing themselves at this time to gen
eral campaign of corn-stalk destruction
and cleanup, before the first crop is
planted They are asking farmers to
burn their old stalks, to pillow the stub
bles we'll under, burn all other growth
nearby and generally clear up their
fields of all signs of last years corn.
Government entomologists, realiz-
ing the weakness of this campaign
against the corn borer, have placed
their faith on the insects parasite.
From an original Importation of these
"dSpS 1IolH france anu ICdly, CHe
Bureau of Entomology has succ eeded
in breeding millions to be spread over
the infested regions.
Results obtained from this means of
battling the corn borer have been en-
couraging, say the entomologists. They
have at least. slowed up the advance
of the devastating insect and promise
in few years to stop it altogether.
Odds, at present are still in favor of
the corn borer, for the parasites have
succeeded tin destroying only small
percentage of their enemy so far.
Some "a other kinds Of parasites are
being tried out to help in more rapid
destruction of the corn borer.
