JOE McMAHON, Clerk. Tin Collars for Plants. “I have received many complaints ot ithe injury done to young plants in small gardens by cut worms,’ declared State Etymologist FX L. Washburn yesterday. “And a campaign against the very destructive insect must be started at once. “These so-called worm are the lar- vae of the night flying months, gen- erally more or less brownish 1n color. which we frequently see entering our windows, attracted by lights in the evening. Their eyes are quite bright in the reflected light of the lamp or gas, and hence they are sometimes calied ‘Owlet Moths.’ “The name of the family, noctuidae, refers to their being particularly act- ive, both in the adult,and young stage, at might, Cut worms are apt to be particularly bad on land which was in sod the season previous to being used for garilen purposes. 7 «When a plant is found injured in the morning, One 1s quite sure to dis- cover-the culprit about an inch under the sol near the plant injured; that 1s, within a few inches. ‘Taking advan-t age of this tendency on the part of the worm to hide as morning ap- proaches, I have successfully trapped him by putting shingles or pieces of boards or caboage leaves on thesoil ‘at frequent intervals through the gar- ak ‘ or even stiff paper put around the akan? neath. : “Collars made .of tin or cardboard ‘young plants, so to form a perfect barrier, thrusting the lower edge of the collar two or two and one-half inches into the soil, and letting the re- mainder project five to six inches above the plant to be protected, will protect it provided the collarisa com- plete one, and there is no break in it through which the worm can crawl. uuul it has had a chance to grow be- yond danger of attack. “Old fruit cans with the tops and bottoms melted off make cheap and effective collars for this work, One must take cate not to enclose the worn inside when setting the collar, A slight stirring of the surface inch of soilnear the plant will disclose the evil doer if he 1s present. « Phave also been successful in pos- oning them in a garden as follows: Add two or three \tablespoonfuls of paris green to a gallon of water cut fresh clover and tie in bundles the size ‘of one’s fist, and dip the same in this water, keeping it stirred so that the paris green may not settle to the bottom. Put this freshly cut and fresh- ly poisoned balt around about the garden in the vicimty of the plants likely to be attacked, but not too close to the plants.” “Ifthe bundles of clover are put very close to the plants and rain oc- curs, the paris green is apt “to be washed in dangerous quantities against the young plantsand injure them. ‘These poisoned/bundles to be most effective should be put down at evening time, so that they will pre- sent an appetizing morsel to the worm before being wilted by the sun. It must be borne in mind that paris green is a slow acting poision, and one must not expect to find the worms lying dead by the clover bundles. “One man driven to his wits’ ends by depredations of the worm ,Diogen- eslike, went about in the evening among his plants with his lantern, discovermg many just beginning their work.” The Tax-Dodging Farmer. The down-trodden and oppressed business men of the cities, the whole- sale dealers, elevator men, railroad owners and other representatives of the corporation underdog have decid- ed tu rest no longer under the cruel oppression of unjust taxation. hey will no longer permit the plutocratic farmer to escape his share of the public burdens by undervaluing bis property when the assessor comes around, Consequently the represent- atives of ahese institutions on the state buard of equalization have given orders to the state auditor to send positive instructions: ty each towuship assessur, telling him just how much jhe shall value each item of personal property fouad on the farm. One year-old horses and cattle must be ussessed at fixed figure and upwards, 2 year-olds at so much, 3-year - olds at so much, hogs and sheep atsomuch. ‘The instructions are very strick and definite. It is not thought necessary, of course, Lo make a basis on which the assessors must value stocks of goods in wholesale houses, in mills and elevators aud in manufacturing con- cerns. The proprietors of these. are -all honest and list their property at full value. It is the dishonest farm- er who must be watched. He has such a way of undervaluing his 2-year old horses and cattle and pigs. The law requires that all grain in eleva- tors on railroad right-of-way or else- where shall be assessed’ and taxed against the owners in the assessment district where such elevator is situ- ated. Grain in elevators at terminal points is assessed at 10 cents a bushel. County assessurs are required and directed to assess the property of farmers at 50 per cent of its value. ‘The Northtield News, in muck in- nocence, asks: ‘‘Why the discrimin- ation in favor of the millionaire mill owners and elevator men and against the man who grows the grain?” As if us city pevpte did not know that the farmer is the man who makes all the money off the grain, and that the poor elevatur man has an awful time to get money efiough tegéther to buy an automobile or a trip to Europe. - These plutocratic tax-dodging agri- culturalists have had their own. way ott’s ‘Marion,’ "? he con- ) ‘with-its rugged simplicity and marvelous gescriptions—one can: almost smell the he:ther on the heath while perusing its splendid pages.” “Ivis perfectly grand,” she mur- mured. ; “And Scott,s ‘Peveril of the Peak’ and his noble: ‘Bride of Lammermvor’ —where in English language will you fin@ anything more. heroic than his grand auld Scottish characters and his graphic forceful pictures of feudal times and custcms, You like them, Iam sure,” ‘“— just dote upon them,” she re- plied. “ “And Scott’s Emulsion,’4 he con tinued hastily, for a faint suspicion was begining to dawn upon hit. “I think,” she interupted rashly, “that its the best thig be ever wrote.’’ —Ex At HOTEL POKEGAMA Friday and Saturday, June 18 end 19. r DR.

The con- signment consisted of 125 tubs, and it 1s said that 1t will contain more en- tries than any other state wiil exhibit at the fair. / The butter entries from this state are twice as large in number as Min- nesota entered at the Pan-American exposition, when butter from the North Star state made so handsome a showing, The contests will be held at St. Louis during June, July, September } and October, and the state making the highest general average for the four months will be given the blue ribbon. “While Minnesota 1s making a much larger exhibit than any other West- ern state,” said Commissioner W. W, P, McConnel yesterday, “! am afraid that it may result in giving the butter from thts stafe a lower average than though there were fewer entries. ‘The general average will determine the re- bsult. and a few tubs of interior butter in the 135 tubs entered will serve to reduce our general average very ma- terially. “I we had the selection, and ¢ould keep down the list to about fitty tubs, we would stand a much better chance to capture the high score.

Letters have been sent to tle town clerk of every city and village in the state anda ready response, which is being made, indicates that this portion of the re- port, when completed, will be exceed- ingly valuable. eats The letters of asingle day received by this department from all sections of the state told of excellent oppor- tunities for the locating of creams: eries, flour mills, flax“tiber mills, gen: eral stores, harness shops, electric f BIG FORK “Ty Chiropractics (Ki-ro-prak-tiks) DR.

England Sells Potatoes to U. S. In a report to the department of commerce and labor, United States Consul Hamm, says that England is able to sell us potatoes ata profit in spite of the duty of 25 cents per bushel. Yorkshire, England, is the latgest seller, and even Jast year, when the weather was particularly unfavorable, On account of rains, Jarge shipments were made. Indian Labor. Acting Indian Commissioner Ton- ner has sent out instructions to In- dian agents in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota that in im- provements to be made on reserva- tions this year, Indian labor must be employed wherever practicable. The Indian Rights association a few days ago tiled with President Roosevelt a statement showing that Indians in Minnesota and South Dakota were in destitute condition and unable to se- cure work. As there is considerable work to be done this year it will be doue by Indian labor. lung enough. It is corporations, in- hings now, and they are going to see that justice is done in future in the way cf compelling these farmers to weet a just and proportionate share of the public burdens.
