Sir William Ramsay characterizes
Ephesus as the City Of Change" And
truly it has seen marvellous changes

the days Of st. Paul and St John Eph-

can scarcely imagine that he is near
tie sea. To all appearances he is as
far away as on one of our inland prai.
ries The Cayster during all these ages
has brought down mud and silt from
the mountains until now Ephesus is
miles from the seashore. Even in st
Johns time the port was kept open
only by strenuous effort and constant
dredging.
These changes wrought by nature
have compelled frequent changes on
the part of the inhabitants. The orig

enc with the Georgia Auburn game

GRASSHOPPERS AS
GRAIN SEEDERS
'uilihan Farmer May Utilize BARLEY
Heads Cut Off by Hoppers
for Seed

The vast army of grassbonnars
winch few weeks ago infested the
snake river country may be turned
10 some good to offset in a measure
the great damage done to growing
crops and fruit orchards, if the pres
eht plans of Jacob Bauer. who owns
4oO acres of the best farming land in
'he Falouse country, on the breaks
OF the Snake river above Almota, are
carried out and prove a success
Shortly before cutting time the
srasshoppers invaded Mr.. Bauer's
barley field, comprising some 200
acres, and as result of their activ-
ties hundreds of thousands of bar
ley heads were found on the ground
when harvest time came, the hoppers
having severed he straw just below
the heads.
These heads, of course, could not
be threshed, and are still lying on
the ground 1t was suggested to Mr..
Bauer that he give the acreage a
thorough discing to turn the heads
under this fall, which would save re-
seeding the field. This plan is being
considered by Mr.. Bauer and should
he decide to follow it out the result
| OF the experiment will be watched
with much interest. About 100
pounds of seed barley are required to
plant each acre, and it is estimated
that considerably more than this is
now lying on the ground as a result
OF the inroads of the hoppers. 4
Mr.. Bauer has farmed his place for
IS years, and states that his crops of
both barley and wheat were poorer
this year than ever before in his ex-
perience in this section, the average
having been about 25 bushels to the
acre this fall. The shortage in the
barley field is charged to the grass
hoppers, while the deficit in the
wheat yield is accounted for by the
heavy SHOWS of last winter, which
smothered out much fall wheat on
the north slopes.
