Grasshopper Scourge.

Cries of distress from Harmon and

the last Legislature appropriated $lO,-

this pest in Oklahoma. This money is
available on request of the county
commissioners of the counties where
aid is needed.

other crops and are beginning on the
cotton. Planters, he says, are afraid
to cut crops already ripe which are
affected because this would drive the
millions of grasshoppers into the cot
ton fields, and cotton is TO be the
big crop there this season.
The grasshoppers have been killed
eff in other parts OF the state through
the use of poison. Since the egg lay

male grasshopper is said to deposit
800 eggs, there should be no delay

The importance Of the boys anc
girls club movement as affecting the
rural school is discussed in a recent
report by A. c. Monahan, of the
United States Bureau Of Education
Mr. Monahan points out that the
clubs are at present more closely
identified with the schools than ever
before, and that their work is becom
ing a more definite part of the schoo
program The tremendous Influence
of these clubs in aid of better farm
ing, better living condrlons, and bet
ter schools, in therefore eXer-ed as
part of the movement to make the
rural school the real center Of ruraI
civilization.
After showing how the clubs arc
organized through the school authorl-
ties, Mr.. Monahan speaks particularly
OF the girls garden and canning
clubs, which in an incredibly short
time have assumed an Importance
second only to the better known
BOYS corn clubs. Furthermore, while
the governments activities in behalf
of the clubs have until recently been
confined mainly to the south, they
are now extended to the north
crn and western states. Boys and
girls agricultural clubs are now or
ganized in much the same way as
in the south, except that they Will
be in closer connection with the
state colleges of agriculture. The
work has been planned directly for
the farm and home, rather than for
the school, but in most instances 1t
is carried on through the agency of
the school and may therefore be
made an integral part of the eiuca-
tional work by the school authori-
ties.
Besides the boys and girls clubs
a number of other agencies are al
work throughout the United States
aiding in the rural school advance
Mr.. Monahan gives an account OF
these in his report. He describes
among other things, the creation OF
rural school division in the Bu-
reau of Education, specially pro-
vided for by congress; state rura
commissions in several OF the states
work of state and county rural su-
pervisors: and school improvement
associations in the country districts
He also discusses the important lit
erature of the year dealing with thu
rural life and rural education.
