BOUCHER RELEASED;
BACK TO CARDINALS
Borrowed Catcher No Longer Needed
With Two Change 6ackstops on
the Islander Staff.

Catcher Medric Boucher, who was
borrowed from the Cardinals of st.
Louis and who filled the breach in our
backstop department when it was in
sore straits, has been released and
will return to his team soon. Boucher
is a good catcher and he puts consid.
cradle ginger in the team while behind
the bat. He is weak withs the stick,
however, and as soon as Eng was able
to round into form it was felt that the
services of the borrowed catcher could
be dispensed with, seeing that there
are two other backstops on the team
in the persons of Stark and Novacek
Boucher is very popular with the fans.
Collins, the new third sacker with
Cedar Rapids, is said to look good.
Pat McAndrew has been unable to
keep job, even with Rockford.
Rusty Owens was touched up for 10
|hits in his first game for Pueblo
against Omaha and the score was 8
to against him.
Roy Radabaugh, pitched with Cedar
Rapids, has been sold to the Atlanta
Southern league club.
The Eastern Illinois league has once
more weathered the blast and it is
announced that Nation will try again
to hold down its berth.
| Charles Lienhard of this city who
lis pitching for the New York Herald
nine in the Morning Newspaper league
in New York city, has won two more
games, holding the enemy to three
hits in one case. His team is now in

side our door, and, a moment later,
looking through the window, saw
my Janet's trim figure pass down

the influence of some excitement.
My heart thrilled at the probable

PORTLAND, Dec. 15.-At the

ton commission, to discuss pro
posed legislation for the regula.
ton Of the water rights of the
state, Judge L. r. Webster threw
a bombshell into the midst of the
deliberations by attacking the fun
damental principles upon which
the commission proposed to base
such legislation. He declared no
law can legally be enacted and
enforced which is based upon the
principle that the state owns and
controls the streams within its
borders.

YAKIMA PEOPLE
FEEL SIGHTED

NORTH YAKIMA, Dec. To-
Those citizens who have returned
from the Spokane apple show feel
strongly that an injustice has been
done in the award with reference
to the carload let in which H. M.
Gilbert was given second place,
after having had the blue ribbon
attached to his exhibit.
This feeling is intensified by the
fact that an exactly similar stu
alton arose at the Spokane inter
state show this fall when the
Yakima county fruit exhibit was
accorded first honors, only to have
the award changed in favor of We

GREEN BUG WAS VERY BUSY
Record Of the Pest as Set Forth BY
Mr.. Washburn.
rHhi1rSdaU'S Daily

Professor F. L. Washburn, state en-
tomologist, has issued report cover
ing the development and progress OF
the green bug in the grainfelds of
Minnesota last year, which he was re-
quested to make by Governor John A.
Johnson. Last year the unusually
mild winter and cool spring in the
southwest enabled the green bug to
multiply in the winter-wheat states
without interruption from it's para
site. 1t Travelled rapidly northward
causing one of the most pronounced
and extensive crop scares for genera
ton.
It's effect upon the production of
spring wheat was so slight as to be
inconseguential, yet during the time of
its discovery in localities extending
from Fillmore, Mower and Freeborn
counties on the Iowa Minnesota line,
and up through eastern Minnesota, it
caused much uneasiness. 1t extended
westward, and as far north as Otter
Tail, Wilkip, Clay, Polk and even to
Kittson county, just below the Cana
dian boundary.
The report is particularly timely for
the reason that just at present there
is mild green-bug scare on again in
Oklahoma and Kansas, where actual
damage last year was extensive. Any
fear that the pest will become a fac
tor of Importance northwest is effec-
tually disposed of by Professor Wash
burn, who points out the climatic diff
ferences between cool spring south
west that would enable it to work dis
astrously in winter wheat. and the
normal weather northwest which pre-
vents its development to a stage war
ranting solicitude, although the green
bug is nearly always present in the
fields in the spring.
The fact that in Oklahoma alone the
crop losses, due principally to green
bugs, amounted to $l0,0000OO, need
cause no fear of such an occurrence in
Minnesota, the report says.
The report is exhaustive and is so
prepared that while it will appeal to
a professional entomologist or other
student of the scientific side of the
case, its wording brings it within
ready grasp of the farmer, country
grain dealer or other non-professional
person who may have an interest in
the subject and may desire to be in
formed as to the effect of the bug
upon the various grains and the best
preventive measures.

WANT THE MINNESOTA CORN
Ask for an Exhibit at the Oman a
Grain Show.

Minneapolis, March PA PROPOSE
ton to have Minnesota send a large
exhibit to the National Corn, Grain
and Grass exhibition which will be held
i'm Omaha Dec. 10 to 10 was put up to
the State Board of Immigration yes
terday by J. w. Jones of Omaha, gen
eral manager of the exposition. The
members of the board were not in
clined to invest too much without fur
there consideration, but another meet
ing will be held next Friday at the
capitol Those interested in the agri-
cultural fame of the state are invited
to attend the meeting.
The meeting was held in the COVER
nor's office and those present besides
MIR. Jones were Governor Johnson, Sec
rotary of State Julius Schmahl and
State Auditor S. G. Iverson, members
of the immigration board; George
Welsh. immigration commissioner; c.
p. Bull of the state experimental farm,
ID. A. Wallace of st. Paul, P. V. Col
Inns, Minneapolis; ID. S. Hall and j.
NJ. Furlong of the state fair board
John Timpene of Waterville, and j.
Whitney, representing the st. Paul
Commercial club. Mr.. Jones' plan was
to get volunteer organization repre-
senting forty or fifty counties of the
state to work up enthusiasm in the
exhibition and then have the state i'm
migration board contribute about
$1,000 for expenses.
The members of the board were not
highly impressed with this lead and
suggested that the matter be referred
to the officers of the experimental sta
ton and the editors of the agricul
tural papers. The board members were
not convinced that, it would pay the
state to appropriate money for ar
exhibit.
The exposition is held under the
auspices of the National Corn Grow
ers' association The last exposition
was held in Chicago.
