He said no gobbler ever grew
So big and plump and fat
As | had grown wonder why
The farmer mentioned that?
He picked his broadax up, and ran
His thumb along the steel.
And oiled his old grindstone, and worked
The pedal with his heel;
And all the while he hummed a tune
OF stuffing, pumpkin-pie
OF white meat and cranberry sauce.
And squash-I wonder why?
And while he sang l strutted near
Enough to hear and see
The farmer and his wife were full
OF interest in me.
And so | hang my waffle low.
And plume and strut around.
And purple in the face, lock
My wings upon the ground.
How proud l am that all the fuss
And talk about the place
Is all for me. my bulging breast
And plumes and purple facet
| wonder what this sudden gale
OF rosy luck can be
That gives the farmer and his wife
Such interest in me?

THE TURKEYS CONUNDR UNI
BY Al0ysiws Coll

| wonder why the farmer man
Has grown so good to me?
He picked his finest garden patch
And in it turned me free
n little field that snuggles close
Beside the old gray barn.
So bulging full the barley leaks.
And grains of wheat and corn
1t used to be, at feeding time,
I'd have to dodge around,
And make a supper of the oats
That spilled upon the ground.
But now the farmer gorgcs me
Three times a day with mash.
And guards me while gobble down
His turkey succOtash.
And mindful of my adipose,
To help me with a boost,
He leaned a ladder up the tree
Where | am wont to roost;
And if his dog but barks at night,
Or startled guineas cry,
He tumbles out of bed to see
If l am safe and high
To-day l heard the farmer brag
About me to his wife,
The while he whetted on a stone
His old brown carving knife.

ENroMoLocIsT's REPORT.
Professor Cooley Deals with Insect
Pests Common to Montana.

SOS
The first annual report of State
Entomologist R. A. Cooley has been
issued, and it contains a great deal of
information of interest to the farmers
of the state, as it deals with the insect
pests common to Montana. Professor
Cooley deals with grasshoppers, bud
moths, oyster she'll bark lice, apple
leaf aphis and other insects, giving
much space to the grasshopper, and
this chapter is ~profusely illustrated.
Late fall and early spring blowing
is recommended for killing the eggs
of the hopper, and burning is also rec
commended, but this is not generally
practicable or safe on the ranch. 1t
is considered, however, that the best
way of solving the hopper problem
will be by incubation, ON which point
Professor Cooley says:
"Under such conditions as occur on
the Montana ranges, where the great
er part of the injury by grasshopperrs
has been done, the artificial use of
deadly diseases is an attractive SUBJ
ject. If we were able to propagate
and distribute a disease which would
be communicated from one insect to
another and so extended over large
areas, the solution of the grasshOpper
problem would be reached. Various
experimenters in the United States
have made careful tests of such dis
eases, but thus far very few encourag-
ing results have been secured.
"Realizing that the artificial use OF
diseases, though offering small hope
of success, constituted the only hope,
the experiment station through this
department made a careful test OF
what has been called the South Afri-
can g~rasshopper fungus disease. A
single tube Of this disease from Africa
was very kindly given me by Profess
sor G. P. Gillette of Fort Collins, Col
orado. Cultures On potato made
and distributed to about 300 applicants
in the state. We also made careful
laboratory tests on Gagged g%rasshop-
pers of various species, but so far as
we are informed mot one grasshopper
was either killed in the field on lab
oratory test. The various other ento-
po010nScfcs also EoSlol div or~4 ~4n,,1kn
of decided value. We feel, therefore,
that until something entirely new in
the form of a disease is known we
will still have to wait for nature to
take her course, except where it is
possible, in restricted areas, to use
ONE of the either remedies"
