THE CHRISTOPHER ARMIES OVER WESTERN
COUNTRY EATING EVERY GREEN THING

Dodge City, Kan, July 15.-While
Kansas and the Southwest have been
kiln-dried and baked in weeks Of in
tolerable heat, little Mr.. Grasshopper
has been having the time of his glad
young life. He should worry about
the heat
This semi-arid country is swarm
ing with hoppers, from Great Bend
west to the foothills Of the Rockies,
from 'NO Mans Land" down through
Oklahoma, the Panhandle and New
Mexico.
A cold spell month ago kept the
pest dormant and saved the wheat.
Then followed the hot, dry spell
that matches out 80 per cent of the
eggs laid in the ground last fall by
millions Of lady hOppers. The ground
became alive with gnat-ike insects
the baby hoppers- fOraging for food
and growing rapidly.
Soon armies were on the move,
marching through fields of late
wheat, young corn, kafir and milo.
AS their wings grew they spread fast
er and attacked the orchards. Now,
with grass and weeds eaten up or
killed by the drouth, they are a grow
ing menace to all crops.
Today l walked into the country
to the east of this old Cowboy Cap
ital." At every step my foot started
a little cloud of raSDing wings and
legs, yellow, brown, black and green.

leaf, green peaches gnawed till bare

 Tt seems that Senator Worsely was quoted as authority for the stae- ment that valuable information was leaking out of the commissions of flee. Senator Worsely. advises me that he made no such statement. and I am confident he did not.
 The commissions reports are late as we are all aware and regret but there is d good excuse for the delay-urgent business of the state was being attended to. A couple of days more and the reports will be ready. In the meantime if anyone d member of the legislature or any one else-feels inclined to make charges. it might be in the interest of accuracy to gather some first hand information before making them.
 It is not generally known but the procedure necessary to be followed by owners of scrip in obtaining lands on that scrip favOrs the operations of the state in every way. The oW- ner of scrip. cannot go ahead and file on land of his own selection This must be done for him by the Santa Fe land commissioner. The law provides that the Santa Fe se- feet that land. so that whenever d scrip owner desires to place his scrip he has to do so through the rail road.
 This all takes time as the rail road invariably holds the application until a number of them accumulate and a large acreage is needed to ac- comodate the applications. Then the inspection of land is made by the railroad commissioner and {, filing is placed in the United States land office. While all this is going on the state land commission is also engag- ed and can in the very nature of the case beat the railroad to it.
 Senator WOrsely of Pima in speak ing of his part of the controversy last night said that the only object he had was to cause a hurry in the operations of the state land com mission I made no reference to the state land commission having leaks. he said but l did say there were leaks somehow from the United States land office | do know also that many acres of scrip have been placed on lands nd unless the state hurries much of the land will be gone.''

 COTTON ONLY
Will Be Allowed to Grow
 in Salt River Valley If Plans of New Organiza- tiOn Are COnSummated

Satisfied after an exhaustive dis cussion. that cotton is a profitable crop for the. Salt River valley pro viding the proper care is taken to in- sure it's correct irrigation, selection and picking, about two hundred rep resentative farmers and business men last night formed an association of cotton growers It was an enthusias- tic set of business men and farmers that met last night at the board of trade to decide whether or not the Salt River valley is to have an or ganization of cotton growers next year The talks brought out vast deal of f~infOrmation useful to the pros pective cotton grower, such as the amount of water. the class of soil, etc
 One of the most far reaching de- cisions reached was that which will when the organization is effected be a rule against the introduction of in- ferior grades of cotton. Not single short fiber plant will be permitted. and all the possible precautions will be taken against the importation Of any pests, animal or vegetable. The idea is to make Salt River valley cot ton known the world over as Blue Ribbon cotton, so the standard was set pretty high.
 On d motion by Leroy H. CiVille the meeting resolved to organize i'm mediately, and did SO on the ballot Harry Welch is temporary executive, and in his hands and those Of MT. Herbert Atha, the pioneer in cotton planting here is left the work of se- lecting a committee on laws and reSu- lationS The committee will be se- lected immediately and at the next meeting one week from last night, the association will blossom forth full fledged
