THE GRASSHOPPER PEST MUST GO.
A Simple Remedy That is Said to be
Effective.
How a Sonoma Vineyardist Manages
to XIII Off the HOpperS
by Millions.

Salvation Is in sight for the grasshopper
plagued ranches. A remedy for the pest
has been discovered that means their
swift and certain destruction. 1t Is cheap
in cost, simple in its composition and
easy Of application. Its history and
value is best told in the words of 2. c.
Rossi, President of the Italian-Swiss
Agricultural Colony at Asti, SOnoma
County, who in an interview yesterday
said:
About four days ago l was informed
that the grasshopperS were eating the
crops and seriously damaging the vine
yards in our colony aud also those IN our
vicinity.
'Inasmuch as we had a similar expert
ence ten years ago we at once prepared to
use the same means to check their
ravages that had been used and which IS
the only one that has SO far proved sue
cessful. Al the time mentioned the
grasshoppers ate more than forty acres OF
vines.
The poison we used at that time was
composition of 80 pounds OF mlddllngs,
% pounds Of bran. 70 pounds OF arsenic,
l gallon of water gallons OF molasses,
This must be thoroughly mixed so
that every particle of bran aud middllngs
receive portion of the arsenic.
1.-THE mixture is applied by putting a
tablespoonful of 1t at the foot of each
vine. The grasshoppers, before reaching
the leaves, are attracted by the smell OF
the mixture and will eat it in preference
to the leaves, and in very short time the
ground will be found covered with dead
hOppers
"Ihe grasshoppers generally travel in
straight line and eat the vines IN rows,
so that ii the poison is applied on three OK
four rows of the vines, near the fences
and near the roads, those three or four
protected rows will prevent the spread OF
the pests into the body of the vineyard.
Last Monday l sent up forty sacks Of
the mixture and the same was inmedi-
ately applied. To-day l had the pleasure
of receiving letter from the Superin-
tendent informing me that the grasshop-
pers are being rapidly killed in large
numbers, and that the mixture had again
proved thoroughly effective.
II would suggest that every ranch
owner in the State be prepared to imme-
diateiy apply the mixture as soon as the
grasshoppers appear"

The facts as stated in your dispatches

VOICE OF THE PRESS.
Expressions From Newspapers of In
terror California.
Los Angeles Times

Life is a pretty big problem to solve
under the best Of circumstances. 1t holds
d good deal that seems like chance, yet
which, if rightly considered, we cannot
doubt TO be the result of wise purpose.
But the question must often come home
to us-do we make the most of our lives,
using wisely the opportunities that are
ours for self-im provement and for ad-
vancement in financial affairs? The busi-
hess of earning our bread and butter
takes good part OF the life of the masses,
but what right have we to assume that,
because this is the case. il is wholly the
fault of the plan upon which society is
constructed, instead of certain lack of
efficiency and seli-reliance on the part of
individuals? We have any number of
men in every community who GO through
life without any well-detined purpose,
save that OF doing as small an amount of
work as is consistent with making a liv-
.lng-men whose thoughts hardly go out
beyond the twenty-four hours of single
day. and who are content if for those
hours they are comfortably fed and
housed. The difficulty with many, it
must be conceded, is that they never put
forth their powers and energies to the
utmost to help hemselves, but are con-
tent TO worry along with that which is
really hardly more than satisfying to the
animal in our nature, and not in touch
with the intellectual and spiritual.

Los Angeles Times.


The women of the suffrage movement
should adopt some plain badge, sut1i-
GENTLY conspicuous to be easily recOg-
niZable. Those women who choose to
step down to an absolute equality" with
man should reveal themselves without
fear. They should have the courage of
their convictions, for they will need it in
"the dark hour coming on" The ''ab
equality" woman (Which means
those women who are willing and anX-
iOus to take step lower than their
present position in the social scale) must
expect to be taken at their word. They
have heretofore been treated as superiors;
they are TO be treated as equals; they are
to stand up while men remain seated in
street cars and places of public assem-
blage; they are to be greeted on the
streets. not by the lifted hat, but as man
greets man. In brief, the thousands of
special privileges, immunities and
cOurtesies now freely extended to the
going woman are to be withheld from
the coming woman. who comes bearing
the sword instead of the olive branch.
Apostles Of the suffrage movement, as
the advance-guard OF the hosts which
they claim will follow them. should

may be able TO distinguish between the
