earthquake shocks. which came in
rapid succession. The shocks were
about fifteen seconds in duration each,
and before the effect Of one shock
had died another came. On the Sand

Augusta, and in a fashionable resi-

more distinctly than downtown.
There was considerable alarm felt

The shocks are said to have been the
most distinct since the earthquake of

Hoppers.

The following remedy has
been prescribed by the Kansas
State Agriculture College to aid
in fighting the grasshoppers:
I'VE are recommending a poi
son bait made by mixing one
pound of Paris Green or White
Arsenic with twenty pounds of
bran making into mash by wet
ting with three and one-half gall
Ions of water, in which has been
stirred two quarts of cheap syrup
and the juice and finely chopped
pulp and peel of three oranges or
lemons. The bait is then to be
sowed broadcast where the in
sects are numerous, this amount
beng sufficient to cover about
five acres. Paris Green gives a
little better results than does
White Arsenic, though the latter
is considerably cheaper.

If the wheat over the county
averages twelve bushels to the
acre, which is little under es-
timated, the yield will amount to
l,285.224 bushels, and at the
present price of IS cents per
bushel, will amount to the neat
sum of 1902, ,44O.4O. Some of
the wheat will sell for more and
some for less, but at the present
price the amount is worth re.
