still coming In regarding the
grasshopper. In some places
the destruction has been al.
most complete while in others
it has been only partial. The
time has now arrived when the
grasshoppers have commenced
to lay their eggs for next years
brood and it is noue too early
to begin to provide for their de
struction.
Wherever grasshoppers are
found in any number at the
present time it is safe to as.
sumo that they are laying eggs.
The land selected for this pur-
pose is ordinarily the grain
fields. They avoid grass lands
but lay freely along the road
sides. They prefer a firm soil
free from grass roots. Any
grain field provides an ideal
condition.
Many of the grasshoppers
are infested with red mite. 1t
has been thought by some that
this would destroy the grass
hoppers but this is not wholly
true. A grasshopper that is
very badly infested will be
somewhat weakened by this
parasite but the chances ave
that the majority of them will
lay the normal number of eggs.
The parasite as it is found
upon the grasshoppers is the
larval form of a email red spid
er. Later in the season as
these larvae develop they re.
lease themselves from h e
grasshoppers and in the adult
stage feed upon the grasshop
per eggs. Most everyone has
noticed early in the spring
while working in the gardens
or fields a very small bright red
spider; this is the adult form of
the parasite. This spider as
has been said feeds exclusively
upon the eggs of the grasshop-
per. At the same time she lays
about three hundred eggs
which hatch into the form
which is found upon the wings
of the grasshopper during the
summer. These mites even
tually become n u m 70 u
enough to reduce the numbers
of the grasshoppers to a point
where they are not longer de.
structive but this may take two
or three years and it is not wise
to allow our crops to be destroy.
ed by the grasshoppers during
that period.
As has been stated before on
several occasions thru the press
of the state the one perfect
remedy for grasshoppers is to
pillow under their eggs either in
the fall or very early in the
spring. For this purpose the
blowing must be done to
depth not less than five inches.
Many of the farmers have COM
planned that even where the
land was plowed the grasshop
pers are numerous. This is due
to the fact that the land was
only plowed ? or 3 inches deep.
There are many other reasons
for blowing to depth of 5 or 6
inches but the one that has
been mentioned should be suf.
ficient at this time.
The means Of destroying
these insects are so simple and
SO directly in line with our
general practice Of farming
that there is no reason why we
should have any loss from this
source.

AFTER THE CONSOLIDATED.

Was GOldfield TO BE VictimiZed as
Well as Tonopah?
Some days ago Savoy was over
in Goldfield, and while there he
received a package through the
express company which he after
wards forwarded to another point
in this state to a confederate on the
31st day of January. The names
are suppressed here for obvious rea-
sons-until the other members of
the gang are taken in tow.
But in view of what has trans
pired it is almost certain that an
attempt was to be made to extend
to Goldfield the same sort of treat
ment that would have been handed
out here.
The evidence is multiplying that
it is this gang which did the Con-
solidated out of $4,000 two years
ago. and they intended to make
another clean haul there.

Burning the Dead.

HARDIN, Feb. 2.-The burning
of the accumulated bodies of plague
victims has begun, and already
thousand have been destroyed out
side the town. Coffins are stacked
upright, surrounded by logs, on
which oil has been thrown, while
the unconfined bodies, frozen, are
piled on top. Then the torch is
applied. Those having charge of
the cremation protect themselves
from the disease by heavy masks
and bandages, but the coolies who
drive the dead wagons handle the
bodies, being fatalists, and take 10
such precautions. 1t will require
several days to cremate the bodies
of those already dead.

astounding bunko conspiracies ever
discovered in the West will be un-
earthed Their operations were
noteworthy no less by reason of
their ingenuity than by their mag
nitude. They simply bunkoed whole
communities for thousands of dol
lars, and the remarkable fact is
that they always got away with the
goods until they struck Tonopah.
The postal authorities have been
after the gang for some time, but
it appears they have been unable
to catch them. The federal secret
service had the descriptions of sew

Several years ago the gang did
up Globe, Ariz., with the same stunt
they were trying to pull off here.
They used the checks of the Miami
Copper company, and did the mer-

sum, running into the thousands.
A few months ago, according to
Savoy's admissions, they worked the
same graft at Roseville, Cal. The
extent of their cleanup there, how
ever, is not known.

HOW THE TIP CAME.
TOnOpah Banking Corporation Got
mforamiton from Eastern
Detective Agency.

Detective Agency.
This clever scheme to rob the
community was revealed through
the connections of the Tonopah
Banking Corporation. This bank,
with most others of the country,
is a member of the American AS
sociation of Bankers, a protective
organization designed to trace en-
bezzlers, forgers and other folk who
causes banks trouble from time to
time.
The local bank was advised sew
eral weeks ago that an Eastern
lithographing concern had received
the order for the checks. 1t is
likely suspicion was aroused from
the fact that so few of the checks
were ordered, since if the company
was having the work done, it's or
der would have been for some thou
sands instead of a few hundred.
This tip the bank people turned
over to the local officers, with the
result that Savoy was shadowed
every time he's went to the post
office. Sooner or later he was to
receive the package of checks from
the East-that much was certain.
