The rasshopper Situation

Bye. B. Wadron, Prof. OF Horti-
ealtsre and Forestry, N. D.. A. G.
The question, "What are we going
to do about the grasshoppers?" con-
tinues to come up all over the eastern
part OF, the state and this fall is the
time to answer it. While the damage
done during the present season has
not been excessive yet several hundred
acres of grain have been destroyed
and gardens generally have been de-
vastated.
They have been most numerous in
the counties of Cass, Richland and
Trail, though the counties immedi-
ately to the west of,these have suffered
to a considerable extent
There have been no reports of dam
age further west than jamestown,
though a visit to the fields north of
theirs showed them in considerable
numbers.
All that have been found thus far
are natives, and nearly all belong to
the four species that are found more
or less every year.
The Rocky Mountain locust that
worked such havoc in former years
has not been found or reported. The
two striped locust is by far the most
prevalent and has done most of the
damage.
It is impossible to foretell just what
the likelihood is of damage next year
but unless active measures are taken
it is but reasonable to suppose that
they will be much more than
they are now for they are very prolific
and so far are practically free from
fparasites.
The laying season commenced about
the middle of July and will continue
until cold weather. The eggs are laid
almost anywhere except in heavy sod
or, on freshly plowedsland. The, great
er numbers are laid in the stubble
fields, the road sides and other loca-
tions having a firm soil are freely
selected. Each female lays about one
hundred eggs, these being deposited
in nests or clusters Of about thirty.
The only practical way of combating
the insects is to destroy the eggs in
the fall or the very early spring.
This is best accomplished by blowing
the land four or five inches deep and
dragging it Immediately afterward.
| Where this is not practical any treat
ment that will break up the nests of
eggs and expose: them to the air n
wers very well if it is effectively done.
1t has been found that on soil not too
hard a thorough dragging in the fall
destroys most of the eggs. Along
roadsides the road grader or scraper
should be used.
The, principle source of danger lies
in fields left for summer fallow that
are not plowed until after the eggs
hatch in the spring. Where grass
hoppers are numerous it is dangerous
to leave such fields. They should be
plowed early or at least thoroughly
dragged or better, disced.
With united and prompt action there
is no need of having these insects in
Ian y number next year.

Every young person needs a business education and it
costs no more to get it at this great Business and Short
hand Training School, under exact Office conditions,
than at one of the small questionable ones. The results
are, however, very different. $50 D. B. c. pupils went
to excellent positions in banks and Offices last year
over 400 will do SO this year. All Fargo banks and 68s
others employ D. E. c. pupils as bookkeepers, tellers,
stenographers or cashiers. No other school offers such
evidence of endorsement.

A DELIGHTFUL PARTY

On the evening of April 9th at
the home of Miss Ellen Taylor occur
ed one of the most delightful parties
of the season, Miss Taylor and Miss
Olson acting as hostesses. A color
scheme of spring flowers and carna-
tons was effectively carried out in
the decorations of the rooms. Flow
ers also pervaded the entertainment
in the form of guessing game 9th
er games followed of which Miss Allie
York and Chas. Foeley cut for prizes,
a volume of Kipling. After this the.
charming hostesses served their thir-
ty guests with delicious refreshments.
The chief feature of the evening were
the unique invitations and the equally
clever responses. Also the caricatures
of the young men present which were
given to the young ladies to enable
them to find their escorts for supper.
During the evening music was rend-
cred which added to the enjoyment.
At late hour the guests sought the
longest way around which is the
sweetest way home.

ORR HENDRIE'S LIFE

Owing to the fact that Orr v
Hendrie who accidentally shot himself
on Thursday morning, the 28th, was
in measure stranger in this com.
munity l am constrained to offer my
testimony as to his character and
worth. 1t has been my pleasure to
have known this noble, manly boy al.
most from babyhood. Always reserv.
ed in manner, careful in choosing as.
sociates and deep religious convic.
tons for one of his age. To know
Orr was to love and respect him.
Being travelling salesman fol-
many years and the father of boy
about Orr's age, have been much
interested in boys and as l look
over my territory where l have
travelled, the places where l have
made these fine boy friends, call the
bright spots, and among the bright
spots the place where | could meet
Orr Hendrie, was one of. the bright
est.
Having known him from babyhood
| can truthfully testify that in all
these years have known him, have
never once heard him utter a pro-
fame word, and if he had one bad
habit not one of his friends knows
what it was.
Orr was rare boy and there are
too few like him. His sudden call
to the vast unknown is simply I'M
explainable. He had everything to
live for, most devoted Christian
father and mother, fine younger
brother and sister and a life thus far
that any boy should be proud of and
any parent be thankful for.
To me his taking away is a per-
sonal loss. To the community at
Blackfoot he would have been valu-
able young man. To the bereaved
parents, sister and brother he was
every thing that is dear. For them
let us pray Gods blessing, His power
alone can comfort the broken heart
ed.
Orr has left us; he has gone into
the world beyond this vale of tears;
1--WE do not know where God lifts
his balmy worlds in air
But this we know we cannot drift be-
yond his love and care"

THE POOR OPTIMIST

1t is a poor commentary upon the
reliability of the Optimist writer that
he was present during the inquest
held here last Thursday, and then re-
ported the unfortunate incident ex.
actly the reverse of what the coroner's
jury did.
The Morning Post of Idaho Falls
which is also noted for getting on the
wrong side of questions involving
moral principles or kindly considera-
ton of peoples feelings, having the
reports from both Blackfoot papers
laid on it's desk together, chose to
copy the one most like itself in char
acter, and referred to the one coin
Gliding with the coroner's findings as
a random report
The Post management says Of them
selves that they "aspire to yellow
journalism" and it is plain that there
are others.

tiers, for no sooner do they get pos
session than they commit greater po-
litical plumbers than do the Republi-
cans, and this casts a gloom over
their political seas, while If possession
were with the Republicans at the time
of a blunder, the incident would be
yielding up joy in the camps of the
Democrats.
! But things are not so bad-with
everybody busy, everybody hopeful
and planning to accumulate some
money or property, with new projects
pushing for recognition in business
circles and capital swapping them up
as soon as they prove their worth
and, politically, a terrible uproar 60
ing on within the Republican ranks
because the register of the state land
board is accused of violating the
ethics of his position. Not that he
has defrauded the state or a citizen
of any state, but he thinks he has a
right to engage to act as attorney for
Carey project, bind the bargain in
writing and then resign to carry out
the agreement.
1t is very much to the credit of the
Republicans in power that they are
the ones who are raising the row
about it, and not our friends the ene-
my. Some months ago it was learn
ed that a certain land inspector had
turned in an appaisement of lands
that he had simply gazed out across
and had made no detailed examina-
ton as he was expected to do and he
was dismissed for it.
Definition of Democracy
Those who are saying there is no
difference between the two old parties
anyway, are cited to very fine IL
lustration of this difference which Re-
publicans claim exists in this: At
the close of the century, 1900, a
Democratic administration in Idaho
was selling off the finest pine timber
on earth for such ridiculously low
prices people rose up and turned them
out of Office. The only excuse they
had to offer was that they were
afraid of fire." Afraid the timber
would be burned by forest fires and
they proceeded to have a cleanup
sale, squandering the peoples heri-
tage by cut prices.
The Republicans, seeing that forest
fires were the greatest menace be-
sides the trusts that were fattening
on Democratic cleanup sales, faced
the gigantic task of fighting the fires
and keeping them out of existence.
Rangers were trained and put to
work on certain beats, fire-tighting
became part of their work and they
We're taught how best to do it. Tele-
phone lines have been established so
the working forces can be concentrat-
ed within the hour the fire starts,
and the destruction stopped early.
Small trees are protected so future
generations may have them for mill
ing timber, and altogether, strong
stand made for protection rather than
to shoot and run, or as it was with
the timber, sell it before it burns.

NEWSPAPERS DISGRACED

The following squib taken from the
Rexburg Standard indicates lack oil
patriotism or good breeding on the
part of one or both of newspaper men
in question:
THE Examiner desires at this time
to say that We are for Arthur Holden
of Idaho Falls for District Judge, be.
lieving that he Is the right man for
that position. His name is above re-
proach and he has much to commend
his candidacy. His candidacy is en-
dorsed by some of the strongest
men in the district and in due time
we will publish that list. He is man
who gains friends by acquaintance
Fremont County Examiner.
"All of the above for the sum OF
$3.50 of the filthy coin. '-Rexburg
Standard"
If the editor of the Examiner is
sincere in what he said it was ex-
tremely bad taste for The Standard to
inject this inference about the $1.50
which in another place was printed
$3.50. If the Standard man or any
other citizen knows that money or
any other consideration of value was
passed between Mr.. Holden and Edi-
tor Metcalf of The Examiner to in
fluence his editorial expression, or If
any promise of favors or values was
made, then 1t becomes the duty of
that citizen to demand his prosecu-
ton as violation Of the primary
election law under section "a print
ed elsewhere in this issue. (Read
the first two sentences.)
1t Is common talk that Mr. Holden
paid or invested in The Examiner to
the extent of $50 for something rec
emily, and If he wants to stand clear
before the people he should take steps
to prove that he is not himself vio-
lator of the law. If anybody who Is
opposed to Mr.. Holden's candidacy
can prove any of this cheap street
talk about the $3.50 it is their priv
ilege to bar him from holding office
by invoking sections q and % which
provide for that.
We want to see every newspaper
keep its place in this matter, and
every candidate; and when the rogues
fall out or are barred from activity
in politics, honest men may get their
dues. -
Why The Standard
When The Standard accuses its
contemporary of being Influenced po-
litically by pecuniary matters it directs
inquiries toward itself, the query be-
being made as to why it advocated
Mr.. Brady's nomination in one issue,
Mr.. ONeil's in the next and Mr..
Brady's the next.
Not everybody knows the business
changed owners twice in ten days,
and each owner exercised his right to
favor whoever he wanted to, but such
changes reflect little credit upon the
respective parties.

HOW TO PACK APPLES

Last fall people were complaining
about not being able to market their
apples to good effect, and the dealers
in turn were complaining about not
being able to get apples that were
well graded and packed to fill orders
During the winter the price of ap-
pies rose and many producers receiv-
ed good prices, while others only re-
GREETED that they had sold theirs ear
lier at the lower price.
At the time of the farmers insti-
tute in February Henry McMillen
brought in some samples of wealthy
apples that were in perfect state of
preservation, and said that he had
packed them in dry cold sand. All
winter and spring he had been using
and selling them, and those who
know the wealthy apple know that
ordinarily they do not keep even un-
til winter sets in.
A method of handling apples that
will enable man to put the wealthy
apple on the market as late as the
firts day of May, is a good method to
apply to all apples that are to be kept
for spring market.
Mr.. McMillen says the apples that
were slightly bruised kept a long
time, but gradually spoiled. He finds
that those that were carefully pick
ed, and were in perfect condition
when put into the sand, remained in
that condition. He hauled the sand
early enough to have it dried out
we'll, and packed the apples in the
morning when the sand was cold.
Apples that he could sell last fall for
only rs cents or dollar, brought
three or four dollars this spring, and
it is very little work to pack them
for the winter.
We have plenty of sand along the
river, and people can learn to handle
apples carefully, it being one of our
'avorite methods to throw them into
4 gunny sack and under those condi-
ions, every apple will spoil and spoil
soon.

Thor3uGhfare in Worcester, Mass, Queer Breeding Place.
Frog With Five Legs Was the Founda- tion of Museum of Curiosities Which Is Constantly Gain
 ina in Size.

Worcester, Mass.-By the recent ar rival of a four-legged chicken and a tailless kitten at the homes of Mrs. William Scott and Mrs. Joseph War bis Cairo street, this city has once more heightened it's fame as the New England street of freak curiosities.
 By one of the curious twists of chance this thoroughfare, although only a block in length and occupied by about 20 modest families, has arisen to pinnacle of renown seldom equaled by any street in the world.
 The advent recently of the four legged chick, the offspring of a Rhode Island Red hen with a brood of about 25 other children, and owned by Mrs. William Scott, 31 Cairo street, and the arrival the day following of a kitten minus a tail freak seldom heard of among cat fanciers, has resulted in bringing hundreds of curious people to get a glimpse of this street of freaks and it's curiosities.
 The four-legged chicken arrived on the peaceful scenes of Cairo street re- CeHlly, the leUlu III SucCeSSlOl ol lue 25 fluffy babies that broke away from their shells and began to shrill little strains of joy skyward on that same morning.
 Since Mir. Scott one afternoon about two years ago discovered a frog with five legs hopping about in his back yard and then a little later found him. self the possessor of a cat with screw tail, the advent of any common place freak arrival in his neighbor- hood has ceased to create much of sensation, but when Peggy, the four legged chicken, made an appearance there was a gathering of the neigh bors, and it was conceded that Cairo street was easily outdistancing its
