This book for third year pupils is

preston, consists of storytelling.
dramatiZation. games. drills on sound
formation. and the study of poems
and pictures. Through these various

desirable habits of speech-fluency OF
expression. nexibility of voice. purity
of tone. correctness of pronunciation.
etc. The second part is composed of
lessons in both oral and written COM
position. with the emphasis placed
upon the written work, the exercises
including practice in sentence forms,

children and in this way inspiring
them to spontaeous expression.

MOVED METHOD OF GETTING RID
OF POTATO BUGS.
Especial to The Sentinel. ]

Greeley, Colo, March 29.-Farm-
ers east of here in the vicinity of
kersey will undertake a novel meth
cd of Kidding their farms of potato
bugs, by planting so acres of early
potatoes on which IL is expected the
bugs will gather and then be killed
with Paris green, and the late pota-
toes, which make the bulk of the
northern crop, will be saved from
molestation. ...-- ..
Hundreds of acres of potatoes were
entirely destroyed in that country
last year by potato bugs. This year
each farmer will donate small
patch TO the bugs, and plant to early
potatoes in April, six weeks prior to
the time of planting the late tubers.
The early potatoes will be well grown
before the late variety comes out of
the ground, and before the time for
the bugs to attack the late potatoes,
they will have been destroyed.
1t is said that bugs within several
miles will find an early potato field
and when a district Is once cleared,
they VIII return no more that season.
The warm weather of the last two
weeks has caused grasshoppers and
potato bugs to come out of the ground
and farmers report that fields are
thick with them in some localities.
This is considered a favorable sign,
for the warm weather is liable to be
followed by snow and a freeze in
April. which Will destroy all eggs and
insects. Climatic conditions were
such last year that the young insects
were not hatched until late spring,
and then continued to thrive.
