mk 4 COUNTY TO DONATE | BAIT FOR HOPPERS Arsenic for Use in Combatting | ~ Pest Will Be Furnished free, Putnam Says Arsenic for poison bait to be used | in the eradication of srasshoppers | will be supplied to Burleigh county! farmers free of charge, according to; i. O. Putnam, county agent. i Decision to dispense the poison was! made after it was learned that the; insect pests were causing great dam- age to crops throughout the district. A bulletin describing the prepara- tion and application of the bait has been prepared with an idea of giving farmers advice as to its most efficient ‘use at a minimum of cost. The bulletin follows: | To each 100 pounds of bran add 4) pounds of arsenic. Mix thoroughly until all of the bran contains a coat- ing of arsenic. ‘Take 13 full gallons of water and add one or two pounds of salt and 3 gallons of black strap molasses. Mix thoroughly and add to the mixture of bran and arsenic. Mix until the mash is thoroughly saturated. After materials are thoroughly mix- ed, mash can be put in bags and set aside ready for use. However, bait is more effective when a few days old nd can be kept in a cool or shady Place for a week. Each 100 pounds of original bran mixture should be sufficient bait for approximately 20 acres of infested Jand. Bait should be applied in evening only except in cool, cloudy weather when it can be applied during the daytime. Bait is best applied by hand scat- tering some a rod or more in width across field and in strips from two to four rods apart. Where hoppers come in from road sides or fence rows, etc., they can be checked very effectively by apply- ing bait ahead of path of travel and infested area. Where hoppers come from a meadow they can be checked, ‘at least temporarily, by scattering bait ahead of their path of travel and several rods back where they are abundant. Remember that bait is of little value in field after it is dried out. Light showers will revive bait. Heavy driv- ing rains will wash off the poison. When through spreading bait, be sure to check on empty sacks and destroy when you find no further use for them. Cattle have been known to be poisoned years later by chew- ing on sacks which held the poison bait. Early application of bait is degir- able. Do not wait until hoppers are scat- tered through the field. Some seasons hoppers will continue to hatch until late in summer and their breeding grounds should be watched carefully, and in some cases it is necessary to treat more than once. Please remember that this is not a cure-all and frequent light applica- tions are better than a few heavy ap- plications. Later, when crop is har- vested and shade removed, the hop- pers will migrate towards green vege- tation. Frequent light applications Surrounding corn fields at that ttinel will help to save corn fields and other green crops. Care should be used in spreading the bait. Hear Fordville Was Hard Hit by Storm Approximately 90 barns were torn down in the vicinity of Fordville, Walsh county, and scores of homes and other buildings damaged in a hail and wind storm which swept that vicinity last Monday evening. In- formation regarding the storm, which in places assumed the proportions of @ tornado, was contained in a letter received here by Gilbert Haugen, Bis- marck, a former Fordville resident. Due to the heavy hail, crops and gardens for miles around were a to- tal loss, The district schoolhouse and church were destroyed and only five tombstones left standing in the ceme- tery. No casualties were reported, with the exception of one man who received a broken arm. Only one farm in the entire community, that of C. Zemens, was undamaged. Police Court Rooms Shed Shabby Mantle Next time the chronic inebriate or the habitual traffic violator is hailed into the Bismarck police court to an- swer for his sins he is due for a sur- Prise. Cloaked in a mantle of shabbiness for years, the court room at last has been dressed up. No longer must the magistrate dis- pense justice in squalid surroundings as he sits in a rickety chair behind a dingy desk. Instead he will preside in a court equipped with an elevated bench, witness box, spectators benches and an oak rail separating the court from the spectators. The furniture was taken from the district court room in the old Bur- leigh county courthouse. FORM BOY SCOUT DISTRICT Glen Ullin N. D. Aug. 3—Organ- ization of the Western Morton Coun- ty District of the Boy Scouts of America was effected here. Dr. O. T. Benson, Glen Ullin, was chosen presi- dent. Other officers include John C.

A century and a half ago, Mont- golfier's 35-foot paper balloon sur- prised the world by rising above France. Today, while still a novelty to most of us, the huge airships that have evolved from this balloon are highly practical air-going vessels. In the last 30 years Germany has | built more than 150 such airships) with remarkable success. But these were extremely small and antiquated affairs compared with the | U. S. Navy's pride that is soon to take the air at Akron. Here is an airship that embodies not only the very latest ideas in design and con- struction, but promises to hold its su- | premacy for many years. Its 12 gas cells contain 613 million cubic feet) of non-inflammable helium, or twice that of the Graf Zeppelin. | Consider the Akron’s outstanding features: 1—Every previous rigid airship has} had only one metal keel or backbone, | running from nose to stern along the | bottom. The Akron has three such! keels, one along the top and the other | two along the sides. | These three keels are also triangu- 5—At the end of each propeller shaft, a propeller with blades 18 feet long is placed on a swivel joint and | thus is tilted at any angle from ver- | tical to horizontal. Thus the Akron | will be able to propel itself up or | down, besides forward and backward. 6—Being a naval aircraft, the Ak- ron will have a hangar within one of its compartments, or “bays,” for five airplanes. These planes will hang from a monorail system, ready to be dropped by means of a trapeze through a T-shaped hatchway. More- over, it will have a car, suspended from a long cable, by which an ob- server can be lowered to spy on the land below while the airship remains hidden above the clouds. The ob- server will be in communication with his ship by phone. In addition, there are emplace- ments for sixteen 50-caliber, high pressure, rapid fire rifles, each cap- able or firing 500 bullets a minute. The great airship could be struck by numerous bullets without being brought down since it has 12 separate and distinet gas bags of non-inflam- mable helium, and the gas leakage from small holes, for short periods, would be inconsequential. The Akron will also have complete lar passageways, providing access to| radio, and photographic outfits, in- | the engine rooms on each side, to the | cluding machines for the rapid fac- valves on top, and to practically every | simile transmission of photographs by other part of the airship. { | can be flashed back to its base. These are only the major innovations in airship construction. ce | At the Movies j pe ere, CAPITOL THEATRE “There's one thing I remember — your kisses. They punctuated my life with exclamation points.” ‘These illuminating lines are spoken by a wife to her first husband, after she is married to another man, in a sequence of “Meet the Wife,” which Christie produced for Columbia Pic- tures. This screen offerings will be shown at the Capitol Theatre for two days starting tonight. The return of a husband, believed to have gone on to meet the angels —or else—is the key situation in the comedy plot. The wife, who has been dominating everybody and everything. suddenly confronted with the fact that she may be an unintentional bigamist, loses her grip on her do- main. But she does not lose her mem- ory of her first husband's kisses—and the second husband always “kisses as if he is rushing to catch a train,” if the wife's testimony may be admitted as first hand evidence.

Preliminary arrangements were made for two district meetings to be held in October at which crippled children’s work will be discussed, not only by lodge members but by the public as well. The first meeting is Oct. 1¢ at Man- dan. Representatives from the lodges at Mandan, Dickinson, Jamestown, Valley City and Bismarck will gather at the Mandan meeting to plan work for that area. / The second meeting will be held et Devils Lake Oct. 28 for the lodges at Devils Lake, Fargo, Grand Forks, Mi- not and Williston. Last year the State Elks set the quota of crippled children to be cared for at 25. The quota had been nearly tripled by the end of the year.
