appearedin the Tuesday's Sioux Gity
Tribune: Judge R. E. Evans, special
prosecutor appointed by Governor
Neville to go after alleged violators
of .the Nebraska -prohibition law in
Dakota county reports that he is'ob
taining convictions, but indicates
that he is somewhat hampered by
County Attorney Learner. J6dge
Evans in reporting said that Learner
decided to allow him to prosecute
the booze cases and then threw a
barrier against him by filing objec
tions to his appearance in the cases.
Judge Evans complains that this
furnishes ammunition to the lawyers
for the liquor men. Clippings are
enclosed by Evans taken from the
North Nebraska Eagle, run by Mell
Schmied, who minimizes conditions
and claims that Evans is not needed.
Editor Schmied is quoted as declar
ing "that there was no occasion
whatever for the appointment of a
special prosecutor." The editor be
sides running a newspaper, is one of
the employes of the state food com
mission who happens to be Governor
Neville. The editorial is construed
in some quarters as a criticism of
the governor.

It is evident that more than one
kind hearted and industrious maiden
has knitted a pair of mismated socks
for some soldier boy as the follow
ing "answer" goes to show
THE ANSWER.
My dear soldier man:
Yours of the 10th duly lecclved
And I want to assure you I am deeply
If i loved
To know that your socks do not mnto at all.
It gnve my prldoa terrible fall.
1 wanted to send n gift to you,
Soipethlug hand tnado and useful, too:
I hoped the work would bo lino and neat
But one was gigantic, tho other petite.
It hnppened like tlilB, If you want to know
1 began the small one, sure nnd slow:
llut, like n woman, while you wore away
I thought about you every day;:
And pondored your virtues, great and
small,
Till the llrst sock would not do at all
Kor tho man I pictured you to be;
So tlio second was knit for my Hero. Sect
As to "whore in h 1" did I loarn to knit,
Don't you know that down thoru you can't
even sit
Comfortably, much loss knit or sow.
"Tho heat is intense," say those who know.
I blush to admit I can't oven sow
And was vain to attempt a sock with a too.
It you love mo still, pray do your bit,
Tell me, where In h 1 can I learn to knit?
(County Agent's Field Notes
f' bY c. n. YOUNG.
A number of people have express
ed themselves as being afraid to sow
,fall alfalfa because of the great
number of grasshoppers. These
may be controlled by the use of hop
perdozers or poisoned bran scatter
ed during the evening or latter part
of the afternoon. The disking or
plowing of adjoining fields will pre
vent many young hoppers from
hatching and thu3 reduce the num
ber. Where alfalfa is to be sown
this fall, seeding should take place
at once; and preferably with a grass
drill which assures a uniform depth
and all seed getting the moisture.
Poison bran may be made as fol
fows: Mix thoroughly 50 pounds bran,
2 pounds Paris green and G finely
chopped oranges or lemons. Add
enough molasses to form a stiff
dough. After this has dried, crum
ble and scatter.
Visits made to a number of or
chards where pruning demonstra
tions were conducted last spring
show that trees that were pruned,
while, perhaps having no more in
many cases, have much larger fruit
of typtter quality.
Many of our farmers are buying
prepared mineral and worm preven
tative compounds for hogs. These
in niost instances are of considerable
value, but are sold at an unreasona
bly hitrh ficrure. A verv satisfactory
mixtura may be made by the useof
the following formula which may oe
fed ih self-feeders:
Charcoal, 80 parts; Pdke-root, 2
parts; May-apple root, 2 parts; salt,
0 narts. All incrredients should be
mixed by weight.
More attention should be paid by
hog raisers to keep the sleeping
quarters free from dust. Frequent
sprinklings of floors with a coal tar
solution will be found very satisfac
tory in improving sanitary condi
tions. Every effort should be made
to prevent mud holes in yards, but
where tolerated, dip should be pour
ed pver the surface at regular in
tervals to assist in keeping down dis
ease. GERMAN EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN
