These Are Just Hopping Hoppers.

Fort Collins.-The grasshopper. that
trivial bit OF fish bait which last year
caused a loss Of millions OF dollars to
the farmers Of Colorado, is again
abroad In the land. Recently a num-
ber OF people who travelled along the
country roads noticed the hoppers.
and some OF them took the trouble to
catch a few and show them to Prof.
c. p. Gillette Of the college. What
the professor told them was decidedly
encouraging. He said:
These hoppers that are making
their appearance now are not the dan
gerous fellows. They are what we
call the native hoppers. the kind we
will probably always have-the kind
that are absolute necessities during
the open season for trout. They are
hoppers that have managed by some
hook or crook to be hatched In the fall
and to survive the winter, and are
practically harmless.
THE dangerous hoppers, the kind
that are sometimes called the locust.
and that assumed the shape OF real
pest last year. will not make their ap.
pearancc for another month or two.

President is hopeful that the treaty

practically impossible between the two
great English speaking nations, there

THE EXHIBITS Of MAINE APPLES.

State Horticulturist Albert K. Gard
ner of Rockland, and Assistant Hort icul-
turist George A. Yeaton of Augusta,
have returned from the New England
Fruit Show which was held in Boston,
Oct. 1928. They brought back with
them So boxes and 20 barrels of fruit
which was included in the Maine exhibit
ton at this show for the Corn and Fruit
Show, which is to be held in Portland,
Nov. Gil. Mr.. Yeaton went to Portland,
Thursday, to look after the fruit and
will remain until after the close of the
exposition.
While the Maine exhibit did not sue
coed in obtaining either of the first three
prizes offered for a State exhibit, the
Maine fruit display at Boston was of
very good quality but lost out in the
method of packing and general appear
ance of the fruit. lack of uniformity and
grading.
eff we are to profit by the mistakes
made at this show we must at once plan
for our fruit exhibits for the coming
season and consider how we can secure
an exhibit that shall have all the neces-
say qualifications, said State Horticul-
turist Gardner Zone of the reasons
for the inferior appearance of our exhibit
is due to our standard box" said he.
''Our experience at the New England
Fruit Show has demonstrated clearly
that the Western standard box with di-
mansions of 16 1-2x11 1-2 x dimensions
l0x11x2O for packing all IS is far superior
to our own with its grades of apples.

At the request of the commission, Scout
Masters in New Hampshire have receiv-

and how to prevent them and the Boy
Scouts have received special training on
that point. '"This summer, writes E.
C. Hirst, State Forester, eve have ex-
perienced very severe fire loss as we'll
as mourning considerable expense for the
fighting and prevention of fires. It has
occurred to US that we might interest
the Boy Scouts of New Hampshire in
the prevention of fires and that on their
trips through the woodlands they might
be of considerable assistance to us and
would spread the information about for
est protection among other boys so that
many fires which are starting carelessly
could be prevented and great number
of boys grow up to appreciate and aid
the State in its efforts to preserve the
forests"
