This is the first recorded instance
of an irruption Of field mice in
North America attaining the pro-
portions of a plague. The expert
ence indicates the probability of
future and even more disastrous
outbreaks. In the extensive re-
claimed areas of the West the
abundant food and luxurious cover
furnished by the alfalfa fields and
the miles of irrigation bitches
which afford these mice suitable
homes along their banks, greatly
favor their increase, while sur-
rounding desert conditions limit
the spread of mice beyond the Gull
tlvated areas.
Without doubt poisoning is the
best method at present known Of
dealing with field mice on an exten-

In and about cultivated fields

along streams, swampy areas. and
natural hay lands serve as breed
ing places from which cultivated
fields are invaded. POISONING Q is

places Burning off the rank

controlling field mice.
Very important iii any attempt
to control these mice is the keep

KILLING THE GRASSHOPPER
By +. L. w a ashburn.

Concerted action BY Government
and State authorities has had the
effect OF changing the dreaded
grasshopper from menace which
was national in scope, to an insect
which while harmful enough in
character, is not looked upon with
the horror and fear it was con :
paratively few years ago.
There are many methods OF COM
batting these pests, but three meth
DDS are especially practical IN
most localities
Fall plovlng IS considered the
most efficient. Plow the eggpOds
under, burving some, and breaking
, open others SO that moisture can
get in, and exposing still others to
the attacks Of their enemies =
birds, shrews, etc.
The second method IS that of
poisoned bats. Use either poison
ed bran or the Criddle mixture.
Poisoned bran can be used only in
situations where stock and poultry
are excluded. Neither should it be
| used where partridge and quail are
likely to feed It is merely brar
poisoned with paris-green or ar
senic. two pounds of parls-gre tC

about the so-called leaders in
Congress? Have they seen a
light? If not they will see it
later, but if they do not see it
soon they will be in private life
when they do see it. The peo-

The verdict of the people will
be, when ever and where ever
they have an opportunity to

FURS ARE FANCIFUL
INDIVIDUAL CAPRICE MARKS
STYLES THIS SEASON..
New Long Coats Especially Graceful
Mixtures Sometimes Combined
In the Composition of the Ever
Popular Stole.

! In the matter of furs, which, until
vogue for the picturesque is strongly
marked.
The new long coats, for example,
are made with rather full fronts,
gracefully draped around the figure
and held in place with knots of velvet
or satin ribbon.
Innings for the long coats are of
satin yelled with chiffon, or of richly
brocaded silks, often having threads
Of gold or silver running through the
designs.
Small heads and tails of fur are be-
Ing used as motifs, under which the
garment fastens. Wide fichulike stoles
lonable women.
Three reasons why they are so pop
ular are warmth, becomingness and
the fact that they can be made of vel
vet and fur or satin edged with fur.
The latter are made quite warm by
an interlining of lambs wool.
These long, scarflike stoles are ex-
tremely supple and can be draped
about the shoulders with exquisite
grace. Often two furs are combined
in the making of these stoles. Others
are of velvet bordered with wide bands
Of fur. They are always lined with
delicate satin, chiffon or brocade.
Ermine will be very much worn by
those who can afford such luxuries 1t
will be made up both with and with
out the small black tails. Short scarfs
and shoulder wraps of ermine are
popular and it will also be used as
trimming for other furs.
The new fitchew fur is greatly in
demand. 1t resembles the American
skunk, but is of finer and softer tex
ture, darker and richer in coloring.
Moleskin is coming to the front
again and seal is always good
choice. Muffs OF fur are made larger
than ever, perfectly fiat like pillow,
or with a curved end made to throw
over the hands. This is to be a fur
season." If you have any old furs
packed away in camphor, bring them
out, have them remodeled and glory
In their soft warmth, knowing the
while that you are following the
