DESTROYING GRASSHOPPERS

Reply 10 Jacob Mathiason. Walnut
Grove. MINI. Please send me by
mail directions for killing grasshop-
pers"
Before attempting 70 give remedy
for the grasshopper plague. a few
words In regard TO It's early stages OF
growth will not be out OF place In
order for the grasshopper TO multiply
to any extent. the soil In which the
eggs are laid must be undisturbed and
there must be an abundance or food
available. The most favorable con
dition for grasshopper development
seems 10 be found In the alfalfa sec
tions OF the west Where It is possible.
one OF the best preventive measures Is
TO cultivate the ground The soil need
not be disturbed below the first two
inches OF surface. for most Of the
eggs are deposited very shallow We
fully realize that In many cases this
cannot be done so as 20 completely
destroy the erasshopper. but where II
IS possible 20 plow and cultivate In the
fall the number can be greatly de-
creased
There are two ways OF destroying
the adult or grown grasshopper. One
Is by the use OF the hopper dozer
Various forms are IN use. but one that
has given very good satisfaction can
be built OF sheet iron. ten or twelve
feet long. and about twenty-six inches
wide. with board across the back.
against which the grasshoppers viii
fly and then fall into the bottom OF the
hopper dozer. The bottom OF the hop
per dozer should be made water tight,
so that a quantity OF water may be
poured into Il. also a small quantity OF
kerosene. The hopper dozer should be
mounted on low skids or small wheels
and drawn by one or more horses.
The grasshoppers will be collected in
the hopper dozer and killed by coming
in contact with the kerosene. This
whole structure il rather inexpensive
and has proved a very good method OF
destroying the grasshopper.
The bureau OF entomology OF the
United States Department OF Agri
culture has recommended a poisoned
bait. which Il known as the "criddle
mixture" aud has given very good
results In some sections. The mix.
ture Is made as follows
One.half barrel fresh horse drop.
pings, In which Is mixed one pound
each or salt and paris green. n the
dropplngs are not fresh. the salt is
dissolved in water and mixed with the
manure and poison.
Then this mixture is scattered freely
about. where the grasshoppers are
abundant. Or Fletcher. entomologist
for the Dominion on Canada cites an
Instance where this poison mixture
was scattered around n portion OF the
field. with the result that this portion
stayed green while the erasshoDpers
seriously injured other parts OF the
same field. The crlddle mixture has
been preferred 70 other brands OF ~

the findings were OF such character
as 20 justify the sinking OF shaft.
This work was begun the middle Of
last January and has been carried up
20 date TO a depth of 10 feet. The
first ore was brought out two weeks
ago, and since that time things at the
Virgil have been going steadily for
ward. Some track has been laid and
the head frame completed. IL should
be added. however. that the entire
present equipment is only designed TO
be temporary A complete permanent
equipment is planned, upon which
work will be begun Immediately, and
concerning which we hope 10 have
more TO say later on. The grade Of ore
that is being mined at the Virgil is of
a high quality and the prospects most
encouraging.
The present week has marked the re-
suming OF operations al the Tully
shaft. Just now the surface equipment
is being put in shape. especially the
steam connections at this new plant
by the middle Of next week twenty
men will be on the job. and 10y early
October the work OF sinking the shaft
will be continued. Scarcely any recent
event in mining circles here has elicit
ed 80 much favorable comment this
taxing up again OF the work At the

High school which has a registration

have arisen has shown that he is a

Mr. McAndrew took as his topic

the day when the schoolmaster came
into a community like missionary
bearing the ready made gospel to the
heather is past.

Body Will Be
Sent to Old Home.

Mrs L. A Best of Kansas City, Mo,
mother of the late Louis Albert Best,
who was drowned. Sunday. June 80, at
Lake Cobbosseecontee, and her sister,
Miss Virginia Best, arrived in the city,
Wednesday evening. They were prostrat-
ed at the sad news of Mr.. Best's death
and were able only with great difficulty
to take their sad journey east. They
will remain at the Augusta House for
rest and quiet. until Friday, when they
will accompany the remains to Kansas
City.
Mr.. Best's Maine trip had done him a
great deal of good and he had so far
recovered from the nervous trouble with
which he was afflicted that he had be-
gun to make plans for resuming upon
his return home his work as an archi-
tect and real estate dealer, in which he
had met with great success, but which
he had been compelled to give up on ae-
count of illness. 1t is now believed that
on the fatal night he went out in the
boat because it was quieter there than
elsewhere. and in some way fell over
board and, being unable to summon aid
by his cries, was drowned
The members of the Best family are
very much pleased with the work of
Diver Nicholas of this city and although
he was not successful in finding the body
they feel that he did everything in his
power. considering that he was handi-
capped not only by the hot weather but
also by the fact that no one knew exact
ly where the body went down.
