Hoppers Eat Family Wash.

Pomeroy = Hordes of grasshoppers
swarming onto the farm of Charles
Fairbanks, ten miles west of Pome-
roy, chewed to shreds a washing hung
to dry in the sun. The pests, which
are becoming numerous in the western
and southern parts of Garfield county,
have stripped the tallest trees of
leaves and fruit.
E. G. Hastings, who farms large
tract of wheat land in the Snake river
country, has discovered successful
way of fighting the grasshoppers with
fire. Smudge pots are used to drive
the pests into plots of dry grass,
which is then fired from all sides.

May Turn Well Into Coal Mine.

Harrineton-There is to be further
explorations made in connection with
the discovery of the vein Of coal at the
bottom of the 46-foot we'll recently
dug on the city property of Bart
Schmitz. Mr.. Schmitz said:
81 expect to have the water pumped
out of the well where the coal was dis

The rock is hard enough that for tenn

DEMANDS FULL STATEMENT
Secretary McAdoo Is Pressed FOR
Facts by Congress.

Washington, D. C.-Demand for an
investigation Of Secretary McAdoo's
charge that New York bankers had
conspired to depress the price Of gov
eminent bonds was demanded in the
house by Representative Henry.
In the senate there was demand
by Senator Weeks that Mr.. McAdoo
make public the information on which
he based his charges.
Mr.. Henry is one Of the so-called
"insurgent" Democrats on the house
currency committee. He made
statement calling on Mr.. McAdoo to
appear before the house committee
and give all the facts in the case.
ssThe secretary Of the treasury
should be summoned before the COM
mittee on banking and currency in
stantly and reveal the facts to the
American people as their agent, " said
Henry's statement, s'and the head of
every great bank in New York should
be sent for at the earliest possible mo-
ment, placed on the stand before the
committee and grilled most thoroughly
in order that the American people
may know the exact facts about this
controversy. The secretary can and
doubtless will demonstrate exactly
how these men manipulate the mar
ket, put up and down prices of United
States bonds and control the financial
destinies of the American people"

ROOSTER LOWERS EGG YIELD
interesting Tests Made at New York
Experiment Station on Presence
Of Males In Flock.

The belief used to be general man,
years ago that hens would not la,
without the presence of a male birt
in the flock. And even today there
are a few people that contend the
male stimulates egg production to q
greater or less extent. Men who
have raised poultry for years still
cling to this notion and persist in
keeping a lot of males hanging about
where only eggs are wanted.
The New York Experimental sta
ton made up four pens of pullets

zach class cockerels were kept. while
with the others none were allowed
The cockerels were put with the two
pens two months before any began
laying. Some pullets in each of the
two pens in which no cockerels were
put began laying a month before any
In the two containing cockerels. The
fowls were of the Asiatic breeds and
rather persistent sitters. No attempt
was made to discourage any of the
hens from sitting, and there seemed
to be no difference in the relative
number of sitters in the contrasted
pens. OF the cross-bred pulIets the
lot without males laid better through
out the season and also during the
best egg season. OF the other lot
the one without males began laying
earlier and did better than the one

From these experiments it would
seem that the presence of males has

1t is now pretty generally accepted
