CLAIM GRASSHOPPERs
ARE MIGRATORY KIND

Dodge City, July 21.-A number
Of Ford county farmers disagree with
the entomologists who say that the
crop of grasshoppers Matched here
this year are not migratory. The
farmers say the hoppers are flying
away, and point to the recent APP
pearance of the insects at Salina,
Ellinwood and other points in sup
port of their contention. The farm
ers say the hoppers have been fly
ing to the northeast for several
days, especially the black-winged
variety. They say the hopper sit

longing to the postoffice which also
corrupted the building, was burned,
except few stamps which were in
the safe.
G. F. Deter is the father of Mrs.

SOUTH BUCKEYE ~ ASKING
PAVEMENT TO ROCK ISLAND

chas. Kubach and d. e. swansey
have circulated a petition for sign
ers 10 have South Buckeye paved 70
the Rock Island tracks. Nearly all
the resident property owners are in
favor OF the pavement and all but
one solicited by the petitioners sign
ed. It Is the desire OF the people
on South Buckeye TO improve and
beautify the street and have the
Santa Fe railroad company build
passenger depot on Buckeye, which
would bring all the depots to that
street. In addition It would look
we'll for the city and be more con-
venient for the public in general.
No. street In the city is used more
than South Buckeye and with paw
ing II is likely that the Santa Fe
will build q depot on that street.

FIND PLENTY OF WATER
FOR KANSAS IRRIGATION

Tribune, July 21.-The county
commissioners of Greeley county,
Kansas, made an order and hired
John Davidson, local well driller,
to make a test for water, looking
to securing from the state irriga-
ton commission an irrigation plant
from the state. The result is fifty
feet OF water-bearing gravel on q
10000 acre tract Of land Just north
of Tribune in Greeley county. 1t is
estimated that there is a sufficient
flow of water under this land to ir-
rigate the entire tract, although the
state expects to irrigate onIy eighty
acres for demonstration purposes.
Another local well drilling firm, Car
ey & Young, made tests east OF Tri-
bune, in Greeley county, for a
wealthy land owner by the name of
John Rafter of Holton, looking to
the irrigating of 5000 acre tract,
and they found ninety feet of water.
Through one strata the drill drop
ped eight feet through stream Of

FARMERS SHOULD USE CARE
IN FEEDING GREEN CANE

Farmers should be careful in
feeding their cattle green sorghum
and kaffir corn. Six cows in Dick
inson county have been poisoned
frorm this cause, and similar cases
are reported from all over the state.
Last year experts from the agri-
cultural college found that prussic
acid, deathly poison compound, is
frequently present in stunted or half
grown cane during extremely hot and
dry weather Fermentation is sup
posed to produce it, and conditions
are right this year for that. A sin
gle bite from well-poisoned stalk
is sufficient to bring death.

Greek who was arrested on o United
States warrant, is confined in the
county jail awaiting the decision OF
the department of commerce and
labor at Washington, in whose hands
Is his case. He hasn't much to say,
although he could not say it very
\ plainly II he had. He is IN good

greatly about his future.
He was closeted with his attorney,
G. s. Crawford, and his brother, for
half an hour yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Crawford did not make known
the purpose Of the conference.
Inspector Stretton Of the Des
Moines office OF the United States
immigration bureau, left today ar
ter sending a transcript of the evil
dence secured to the Washington
offices. Mr.. Stretton would not re-
veal any of the evidence, saying that
At would be disrespectful to his SUI
perior officer, the secretary of the
department OF commerce and labor.
Whether or not Georgopoulos
committed the murders with which
ne is charged is matter OF no con-
Germ to the immigration officers. If
ne committed a statutory offense,
and was convicted Of 1t, as his pur-
suer, J. Bithos, swears he did, that

fion under the immigration laws.
The government has proof from
Greece that man by the name OF
Georgopoulos did serve five years

Bithos claims that the murder of
the youth In Galohava was to secure

trial.
# Georgopoulos is deported and

will be given sentence Of life inn
prisonment, and possibly an optional
sentence Of twenty-five years sery-

the proverbial economy Of his race
