E. V. Lahr Training
Land Loan Appraisers

E. v. Lallr, who has been working
under the federal land bank and the
land loan commissioner in Minnesota
in charge of a group of land apprais-
e-s, has returned to Bismarck and
has started to train a group Of ap-
praisers for this territory.
Most of the men under training
here are from the Missouri Slope
country" said Lair, and Il hope we
will be able to keep them all in this
territory when we get them trained
for their work. There are five ap-
praisers in charge of this work in
North Dakota and it is our job to
train appraisers in our divisions. We
take the new men out in the field
with us and they make appraisals
separate from ours. We check and
criticize their work and when we feel
they are competent to do the work
themselves we let them make three
appraisals. Their work is then check
ed by an appraiser who has not been
working with the man under training
and if his work is found satisfactory
he is promoted to regular appraisers
position"
A number of men who have had ex-
rerience as real estate operators or
appraisers for banks in this section
are in the crew under Lahr's direc-
ton, he said.

Urges Battle Against
Grasshoppers at Once

Grasshoppers of the warrior or
clear winged species which congre-
gate at this season in vast numbers
in grasslands and soddy places should
be treated to banquet Of poisoned
bran bait Immediately. That Is the
recommendation issued by ]. A. Num-
70, North Dakota Agricultural college
entomologist.
The pests are hard at work laying
eggs, Munro declares. Reports of the
activities of this species of grasshop-
per are coming in thick and fast.
Prompt action taken now by farmers
to scatter the regular poison bran
bait on the areas where the insects
are laying their eggs will reduce
greatly the 1894 infestation.
This procedure is being urged in
every county by F. D. Butcher, federal
extension service entomologist, who
has been in the state since early last
spring aiding local committees in
their fight against grasshoppers.

Suggests Pasture to
Replace Wheat Acres

Fields that have been growing wheat
and on which acreage reductions are
being planned for next year will be
much safer in pasture than II left
idle, declares DR.. Herbert G. Hanson,
botanist of the North Dakota Agricul-
tural College experiment station.
abandoned fields" he warns, "are
ideal nursery spots for all sorts Of
weeds, including the noxious peren-
malls, leafy spurge, field bindweed and
Russian knapweed. When the land Is
seeded to pasture there is little like
lihood that these perniciouS weeds will
get started.
Fields that are to be seeded to
pasture should be as free from weeds
as possible, SO that the young grass
plants win have q better chance to
grow. Fields that are covered with
weeds now should be worked with q
pillow, disk or duckfoot to kill the
weeds and prevent the seeds from
ripening during the rest Of the sum-
mer."
Where the soil tends to blow, 1t
may not be practical to work the field
very often. The seed bed for pasture
grasses should be firm rather than
loose. The ideal way Is to leave the
soil fairly rough and uneven in the fall
so that 1t will not blow badly and SO
it will catch more Of the snow. Har-
rowing In the spring will then put the
land in prime condition for seeding
of grass.
An excellent mixture to seed as q
permanent pasture, according to DR..
Hanson, Is bronze grass, six pounds
per acre, crested wheat grass four
pounds, slender wheat grass five
pounds, and yellow or white sweet
clover three pounds per acre. These
plants withstand considerable drouth
and alkali, and are palatable and nu-
tritious.

Officials at the bureau said the al

made necessary due to the depletion
Of medicinal liquor stocks owing to

ton distillates.

rnent by the last congress of the Gel
Ter act.

HAY FEVER

We never have recommended the
use Of Saloon for Hay Fever in our
circulars and labels. Nevertheless,
each season for years we have re-
ceived . number of letters from per-
sons who have tried Saloon for Hay
Fever and who have been benefited
or relieved.
Some have suggested that we should
tell the public about this but we have
hesitated to do it because we know
of some cases where it has been tried
without giving any relief whatever.
There is no known specific for Hay
Fever-each sufferer seems to have
his own method or means for getting
such relief as he can.
It you have Hay Fever and have
found no relief-it might be wise to
try Saloon. It won't hurt you and
Judging from what some have said
there is a possibility it may help you.

many buusnakes are used by the

cants for rain are protected from
the venom of the rattlers they
fondle during their dervish ex-

gradients of the connection are
known only to the squaws.
TO the Hopis, the plumed water
serpent is the god Of the under
world, and the dancers address
their prayers to the snakes in the
belief that they are messengers
from that plane, inhabited by
the rain gods. Released, so goes
tribal theory, the snakes carry
back to the barren, red cliffs Of
the desert the Indians word that
they need water for their crops.

containing about 1000 words, Cover
nor LANCER explained the reasons for
calling the election.
Pointing to q need for revenue, he
said that because OF poor crops and
general financial condition of the
country, there are outstanding uncol-
lected taxes due the state and various
political subdivisions of $25, 668, $50.
There Is now a grave concern as
to whether the common schools of
the state can be maintained during
the coming year in that there are over
20 counties in the state where no sub
stantial tax collections can be made,
and even when aid during the COM
ing winter IS not only likely but an es-
tabdshed fact the governor said.
Would Bolster Tax Revenue
To meet this situation, he said, the
last legislature passed senate bill No.
3l5, an act to provide revenue by
means Of an emergency replacement
revenue act for state purposes" I'M
der the provisions of which one-fourth
Of such tax was to be applied to the
support Of common schools and three
fourths was to be applied to the pay
ment Of interest and principle on state
real estate bonds covering the loans to
farmers Of the state.
Operation of this law was held up
until the primary election in the
spring of 1884 with the filing of Pc
titions with the secretary of state, re-
ferring the legislative act to the peo-
pie.
The operation of this law, he said,
would have kept the common schools
of the state open and permitted the
real estate bonds to be placed in good
standing and would have permitted
the Bank Of North Dakota to loan
money to school districts upon war
rants and certificates of indebtedness.
The governor said that over 1000
school officers in the state announced
to him that it will be impossible to
continue the common schools from
tax collections and that IF no other
relief Is provided their schools will be
unable to continue"
$4,000 Signed Petitions
The governor also pointed to the
fact that $4,000 voters of the state
filed petitions with the secretary OF
state initiating a law defining and
providing for the manufacture, sale
and distribution of beer and repeating
senate bill No. 263 and that approx
mately $4,000 petitions to the same
effect were diverted from the mails
and are now in the custody Of the
federal court of North Dakota.
The governors proclamation said
conservative estimates Of the revenue
to be received by the state under the
terms of the beer bill, will yield an
annual income Of approximately $780,
600, besides q substantial income to
municipalities, all of which revenue
is, together with that received from
higher prices, being diverted by those
engaged illegally in the transportation
and sale Of beer"
From the standpoint Of economy,
the calling of the election is fully
justified, the governor said, adding
that according to estimates presented.
the expense Of the election will not
exceed over $85, 900, all Of which will
be distributed in the state.
