LEMKE MAY FILE AS LEAGUE'S CANDIDATE Burdick Infers Fargoan Will Run for Presidency on Fac- tion Ticket Grand Forks, N. D., July 18—(P)}— Congressman William Lemke, third iParty candidate for president, prob- ably will file in North Dakota as the Nonpartisan League candidate for president, Congressmn Usher L. Bur- dick said here Saturday. Burdick denied that he is manag- ing the Lemke campaign for the presidency, but added, “If I were to direct Lemke how to file in North Da. kota, I would tell him to file as a Nonpartisan and thus leave the pro- Gressive movement intact, just as in Minnesota, he will file as a Farmer- Labor candidate. Asked to make a-prediction on the presidential election, Burdick said he expected to see the selection of the president go to the house of repre- sentatives, as he looked to see Lemke poll enough votes to prevent either Landon or Roosevelt having a major- ity on the electoral college. Burdick said the third party ex- (pected to obtain enough seats in the inext house of representatives to con- {trol it at the next session.

This should be applied at the rate of ap- Proximately 25 potinds per acre: The cheaper so-called ‘red dog’ grade of flour is suitable to mix with the bar- jum fluosilicate. The dust mixture appears to be much more satisfactory than a spray of the same material. “This material has not been tested extensively under North Dakota con- ditions,” Butcher explained, “but lim- ited experiments recently conducted in the state indicate that it is ef: tive in killing many of the beetles. The most common blister beetles being encountered are the spotted, the gray and the black varieties. They are elongated, long-legged in- sects varying from % to 1 inch in length, usually less than one-fourth as wide as long. All of these forms ve similar habits. Potatoes are a favorite food plant, and in cases have been injured seriously by the insects, the leaves being stripped off, Other plants attacked include most garden crops, especially beets, tomatoes, cabbages and onions. Al- falfa and clover, and many of the common ornamental shrubs including lilac and caragana, also are attacked. Berry Will Address Democratic Meeting Jamestown, N.
