WARNING 10 FARMERS.
Eradication Of Grasshoppsrs In Their
Own Hands, Says Bureaus.

A warning to farmers to take pre-
cautions now against depredations by
grasshoppers is contained In the Au-
gust number OF The Minnesota Insect
Life. a publication issued by the en-
tomology department of the state uni
versity. which appeared recently.
Grasshoppers. 1t says. seem to be
moving south. and greatest injury
seems to have been done In the mid
die western and southwestern parts
Of the state.
Zone very important feature OF this
grasshopper fight lies in the farmers
hands. and 1t Is up to him as to wheth-
err he will do it and IL properly, or
let the grasshopper evtl go on in
creasing. We refer to proper rotation
of pasture lands with other crops and
late fall blowing. The foolishnesg and
danger Of letting timothy pastures run
from five to eight years or more with
out feeling the pillow was well shown
last year when timothy fields were de-
stroyed by the wheat head army
worm. Such pasture and other grass
land. Ii allowed to run, are as well as
stuhble fields, fertile breeding places
for grasshoppers. Timothy fields
should not stand at the most more
than three or four years before being
pIOwed. Stubble and weedy fields
should be plowed every fall and pIow-
ed deep IN order to cover up grass
hopper eggs completely and prevent
the appearance OF the young hoppers
in the spring"
1t further states that good progress
IA being made In the fight, and de-
clares that II all farmers In one COM
munity would cooperate that locality
would be practically immune from
grasshoppers.

The bill opens with tragic pic
ture, followed by Spaulding g. James
In an especially clever acrobatic act,
In which some new things are pulled
OFF. Their work Is pantomimic and
comicaI.
Sam Harris is a coster, comedian
and is especially good In his songs
The jokes in his monologue, however,
are OF rather ancient vintage.
Stone and Hayes appear in a sing
ing, talking and dancing turn. Stone
does some remarkably angular stunts.
and seems all elbows. They got d
good hand.
The Three English Girls close the
turns on the bill. They do some clever
acrobatic dancing stunts that won APP

The performance concludes with a
humorous picture of q French duel
that sends the audiences away con-

London. Aug s.--The carmen join

docks today and union offlcials claim
that 10000 men are effected. Work on
the south side Of the Thames river Is

ships have arrived In large num-

Cargoes OF meat In the refrigerating
chambers are still unspoiled, but sup

strikers will not permit a replenishing

The strikers are peaceful, but ugly

Both sides are hopeful that the board

the stripes the same as any other
criminal.
