Mr. and Mrs. w. A. Moore Have
Marrow Escape From Serious
Injury Tuesday Evening

Tuesday evening about 1000
o'clock as Mr.. and Mrs. w. A
Moore were returning from trip
to Hackensack and Walker, Mimi,
they had reached a point between
Swanville and Burtrum and were
rounding a sharp turn on Highway
%. They were facing the snow
storm making driving very diff
cult. They were well onto the
curve before Bill realized his no.
sition. He made an attempt to get
back on the highway and in doing
so the car skidded across the road
and into a fence. A 2x6 plank
struck the lower end of the rad
iator, passed through it and under
the running board. The impact
was so strong that Mrs. Moore was
thrown against the heater in the
car and her right knee was quite
painfully bruised.
A passing car took Mrs. Moore
and the dog. back to Swanville. She
telephoned for help which came
from Sank Centre and they made
the balance OF the way home In
safety. The car, somewhat wreck
ed, was lowed into this city We'd

{, The sale was negotiated through
the Federal Land Bank Of st. Paul

I'VE expect the sales of farms

Michigan to total about 800, said
George s. Gordhamer, treasurer of
the Federal Land Bank. of St. Paul.
"This will be considerably over so

1880. Surely this is proof that farm
lands can be sold and that there is
a demand for them, We. are not
sacrificing the farms which we sell
from the standpoint of selling them
below the current market price,
but we believe the present market
is SO low that farm prices afford
exceptional opportunities from the
standpoint Of future profits.
Prices never stand stiIL The price

In fact everything, runs In cycles
Land prices, too, run in cycles. We
had cheap lands after the panic of
1885, cheap lands again after the
panic In 1880, and now we have
cheap lands again. 1t is said that
the development which took place
In the Northwest after 1880, was
due to our supply of cheap lands.
Who can tell but what the cheap
lands Of today may herald the APP

man who has the courage to buy
now should profit by his foresight.

Expert Warns of Peril I'M
pending from Pests-Eggs
Blanket Northwest

Infestations Of grasshoppers suf-
ficient to change the fact of ma
ture, by turning luxuriantly grow
ing fields into deserts" are forseen
in 1882 by A. G. Ruggles, Mime
sofa state entomologist.
In his report to the state depart
ment Of agriculture, Mr.. Ruggles
says, the potential grasshopper crop
for next year is now in the soil in
the egg stage.
"The only thing that can save us
from devastating hordes of these
pests in 1882" he says, "is cold
and wet May and June. Even If
we have these weather conditions,
the Canadian expert in this field,
Norman Criddle, asserts that we in
Minnesota are bound to have an ex-
cessive number of these insects.
In survey recently completed by
federal and state entomologists, the
eggs of the hoppers were found to
be in perfect condition for Matching
next spring, even though deep
snow had to be shoveled off the
egg beds and the frozen soil brok-
en- with pickax.
Minnesota must be prepared to
meet the emergency" warns the
states entomologist. Poisoned
bait must be on hand in sufficient
quantities to protect at least 1884,
581 acres Of grasshopper-infested
crop land in 1882. Applications of
this bait must be started by the
middle Of June at the latest. I'm
less nature intervenes in behalf of
the farmers in the infested areas,
$150000 will be needed to prevent
a calaminous grasshopper plague in
Minnesota. The farmers in the
badly infested territory have no
funds with which to buy poison;
government agencies must help
them"

Grasshobber Infection VII
Increase This Year, Report

100 egg pockets or pods to the
square foot. Every pod contains
20 to 70 eggs. If all these eggs
hatch next May or June it will
mean anywhere from 1000 to $500
young grasshoppers per square
foot. The eggs were laid for the
most part along the borders Of
fields, by roadsides, on ditch banks
and railroad right-of-ways and in
waste land and pastures. Only a
comparatively small number are
laid In loose soil in fields and these
can be disposed of by cultivation.
The infestation next year will start,
therefore, on the edges Of fields
and progress into and over crops
as the season goes on, Mr.. Ruggles
said.
The following estimates of the
funds needed to repel this insect
invasion Of the eight states chiefly
affected have been worked out by

mology and the state authorities:

cording to Whitney some Of the
bandits wanted to flee when the
alarm rang, but one, of their num-
Der shorted the bell.
As they entered the market, they
showed the patrolman ahead Of
