TONS OF POISON
Kansas Farmers Scatter SyS-

Ii Used 2 Weeks Ago, Damage
Would Have Been Eliminated.

Manhattan, Kan, July 16.-Within
the next few days 120 tons of poison
will be scattered for grasshoppers in
Edwards, Ford and Pawnee counties
Forty tons of the poison was sowed
broadcast over some fifteen thousand
acres in Ford county Saturday. Seven
men from the Kansas Agricultural
college now are in the field Superln-
tending the organized effort against
grasshoppers. G. A. Dean. state ento-
mologist; G.. E. Thompson, c. c. Cum

ilton are in charge of the work in
Ford. Edwards and Pawnee counties.
George o. Greene and w. A. Boys are
conducting a hopper campaign in
Graham county.
The poison bran mash has proved
very effective in Ford county accord
ing to a report from Mr. Dean re-
ceived at the college. In one alfalfa
field, Mr.. Dean said, the average death
rate of grasshoppers was $50 to 200
to the square foot. A second applica-
ton of poison in Ford county, Mon
day, Mr.. Dean believes, will save a
large per cent of the crops in that
county. If the poison had been scat
tered two weeks ago, the entire crop
would have been saved, he says. The
commissioners in the counties men
toned are furnishing the poison free

stated that he would be willing to help
by directing the state receivers to act
if the proper method of relief was

The only condition is that the price
or gas for domestic use be increa sed
from II to % cents and the price of

Jones, attorney for the receivers.

there is time to make extensions in time
to bring any relief by next winter.

Make Room for Baby" Member.

Washington, July 16.-Indignant pro-
tests by the baby member of the
house for whom accommodations could
not be found in the house building
has resulted in the decision to add an
other story to that structure Work
will be started soon and it is hoped
to have it finished before next spring.
With the increased membership re-
sulting from the reapportionment more
than score of new members found
that there was no place for them in
the office building and they were forced
to establish their offices in a rented
building some distance from the house
wing of the capitol. This resulted in
much bad feeling and the marooned
ones insisted that they were being dis
eliminated against. AS a means of
meeting the storm of criticism and
protest it was decided to add the extra
story. With the added space this will
give, it is believed, no further enlarge
ment of the big granite structure ever
will be necessary.
