DREADED LOCUsTs REAPPEAR.
State Horticultural Predicts Appea..
ance of Pest This Week.

Des Moines, Ia, June 3.-Mr. Sew
enteen-year Locust, ugly and noisy,
will awaken from his long sleep and
make the night hideous with his yo-
cal exercises this week, according TO
Wesley Greene, state horticultural-
list.
Mr.. Greene says he has turned up
"a number of the locust pods" in
spading in the garden this week, and
by the rules of "bugology" they will
push their way through the ground
within the next few days.
Mr.. Greene, who Is considered an
authority on such questions, predicts
the locusts this year will not be as
thick as they were the last time.
This will make the fourth breed OF
locusts Mr.. Greene has studied. His
first experience with locusts was in
1851. He says each succeeding
breed has been smaller and predicts
it will not be a great many years be-
fore the locust is extinct in this sec
ton of the country. The greater the
of the soil, the more
rapid is the extinction of the locust
he says. The cutting down OF the
forests rob the locusts OF its feedins
places, Mr.. Greene says.

Had you been on the street Mem

it were not company Of soldiers.
One hundred and ten strong, think
of it, from college with less than
twice that number in attendance,
and the music they rendered was
simply grand. Prof. Carlo A. Sper-
ati's beautiful Interpretation of the
sweet strained funeral dirges brought
words Of praise from everyone on

clarinets and the other reed instru-
ments took up strain it was reson-

DEBORAH 1-wAUKON O.
High Schools Play Great Game or
Local Grounds Before Enthu-
siastic Crowd.

The base ball season of the high
school has come to an end, and a
splendid end. After long series of
ups and downs, with DEBORAH on top
most of the time but fearfuIIy low
| at other times, the team evidently
| felt the need of big brace to round
off the season in good style, and the
game Friday with Waukon gave ev-
idence of this fact.
The Waukon team went first to
bat but the hopes OF meeting Thor
grimsons twisters were soon a thing
Of the past. In the game at Waukon
the sluggers had pounded "Bilp'
hard, but this time they went up
against him in his best form, and
tered hits. Only once, in the fifth
inning, did the visitors lock danger
Gus. Then the boys in blue were.
within hairsbreadth of scoring, but
at the last moment brace on the
part of the locals did away with all
danger.
Though the DEBORAH club artists
got good start when Hjerleid, the
first man up, singled to left, they
were unable to connect safely again
before the fifth inning. Jeglum,
in fact, had the Decorah hitters as
much at his mercy as Thorgrimson
had the Waukon men. Finally after
two outs in the fifth, Croft singled,
stole second and third, and finally
scored when Brady failed to gobble
Lees grounder TO first. This proved
TO be the sole tally negotiated by
either team.
|
When the game was finished the
spectators all seemed to agree that
they had witnessed the fastest game
of high school base ball played on
the DEBORAH diamond for years. Al
though the game must in all essen
tials be called pitchers battle, the
fielders exhibited work of exception
al quality.
This game, the last of the season,
is also the last high school game for
six of the players. 1t is with regret
that we see them go though new
forces will always spring up and we
still have hopes of good team next
year.

SOME ADVANTAGES
OF CROP ROTATION
Whole Supply of Soil Food Util-
lied and Organic Matter
Maintained.

Advantages connected with the adop-
ton of rotation are:
/. The whole food supply Of the soil
can be utilized. This is not possible
when only one crop Is grown, for
some crops feed only In the surface
soil, leaving stores of food deeper In
the soil untouched.
2. The amount of valuable organic
matter I'm the soil can be maintained
and even increased.
8. The free nitrogen of the air can
be made use Of.
I. Insect, fungus and weed pests can
be destroyed or controlled.
s. Provision can be made for the eco
nomical distribution of labor through
out the year.
The rotation suitable for the wheat
farmer is one I'm which wheat is grown
alternately with fodder crop. says
Rural Homes. This implies wheat
growing combined with stock raising.
On small holdings In most districts OF
20 inches rainfall and over, this may
be so arranged dthat crop Is grown
each year. Such a plan, however has
the disadvantage OF entailing that
some Of the land be prepared In great
haste and possibly at an unsuitable
time.

SUDDEN CHANGES IN
FEED DISTURBS HOGS
Going From Old to New Corn
Quickly DiSarranges Diges-
tive Organs.

Sudden changes from old to ne
corn disturb the hogs digestive ap,
paratus and make him subject to dis
ease, even If they do not cause It,
Green corn fed with the old corn,
effecting the change gradually, is very
beneficial, cooling the hog and fur
nishing an appetizer. It may be at
this time the hogs will neglect the
old corn II their teeth and gums have
been sore on account of it's hardness;
X So soak IL. A stalk OF corn per
hog, even when the corn Is In silk,
Is good practice. as at this time the
stalk contains most of the nourish-
ment that will go into the ear. BY
the time hogs cease eating the leaves
and stalk, the ear may be snapped
for them. Such preparatory feeding
Is specially beneficial where corn has
TO be hogged down later, a practice
which often has much to recommend
IL IL the area is not so large as to al
low the animals to waste the field.

A position facing south Is always best
as then the interior will be flooded
with sunshine all hours OF the day
and every corner will be penetrated
with light and so kept purified and the
birds will be in the best possible con
dition.
AS a general thing, single-story
house is best, with the floor one foot
or more from the ground. The house
should have pitch roof, with the
higher side for the front. Windows
should be made in front only as all
the available space at the back and
sides will be needed for the nests.
The loft can be made larger or small
er, as space and other circumstances
direct.
A proportion which has almost
come to be the standard among those
who breed pigeons for squad raising
is nine feet in front with a drop TO
three feet to the back and about ten
feet wide inside; the depth may be
somewhat greater than the width. A
succession of these lofts may be built
as the business progresses, or they
may be put up at the same time.
