NORTHWESTERN
Portland Takes Series.

Spokane, April 20.-Portland made
1t four out of six today for the series
by o~utplaying Spokane and winning
the final game, 4 to 2. Spokane made
a strong bid for the contest in the
eighth. Sheas broke up the rally by a
wonderful catch of Risberg's drive
against the right field fence. Mar
tinoni was in fine fettle in the early
innings, but faltered in the seventh
and was relieved by Mays when the
Indians started hitting in the eighth.

Yannigans Scored First.

Blank and the Yannigans batted
and scored first. Foley, leading off,
got the first of the four hits with
which the box score credits him, a
red-hot double into left. He didn't
get any farther than second, though,
for he was out when Blank grounded
to Carpenter. Frary hit to Carpenter,
but kept right on going when ar
penter threw the ball away. Blank
scored and Frary reached third base
on the play. Frary came home on
Tohin's hit past second. Kelley was
out, Perrine to Carman, and Trekell
flied to COrdtZ.
The Regulars atoned somewhat for
their inauspiciOus beginning by scOr-
ing once in the initial inning. Dasch-
bach was out on an easy grOunder
to Brooks. Perrine singled oVer third
base and came in when Bassey dou-
bled to right. Bassey tried to stretch
it, though, and was out on a pretty
throw from Tobin to Changnon. Car
man flied out to Gleason.

Yesterday was an off-day for the

as well as anyone could expect at this
stage of the game. This isn't mid
season by any means and the cham
pions can't be expected to play gilt

didn't yesterday, anyhow.
1t was a see-saW battle that looked
like a Yannigan victory until the last
inning. Despite the regularity of the
hobbies the game was fun of eXclt-
ing incidents, thanks to the constant
shifting of the lead. The 9annigans
started out ahead, We're passed in the
fourth and regained the lead in the
ninth, only to lose out in the final
round after a pair of BOOTS by Joe

Some Fine Wheat.

During an off crop year such as
the present seems to be in this sec
ton of the state this year, and at
times when wheat yields Of two to
five bushels per acre are more COM
mon than any other kind, it is re-
freshing for a change to hear Of such
a yield as was reported in the Olaf
lin Clarion last week. The Clarion
man tells Of a load Of wheat that
was marketed in that city last week
that tested So pounds to the bushel,
and Is said to have been the best
load Of wheat ever brought to that
market. The wheat was raised on
Fred Schrepel's farm. southwest d
that city. and made a yield Of about
25 bushels per acre.

for wheat alone is not a safe or prof

bringing with them twenty five fine

Grass hoppers, which have rayag-
ed the entire state from here west,
are now devastating the western
and northern portions Of this county.
Corn and forage crops in the infested
districts are all being destroyed with
the possible exception Of cane. for
which the hoppers appear to possess
no particular fondness.
George A. Dean, entOmologist of
the State Agricultural College and Ex
pertinent Station, who has been d.
recting the warfare against the pest
in western Kansas was here in con-
ference with the county commission
ers Wednesday relative to making an
united fight in this county.
People generally seem not to favor
this plan, and owing to the indMfer-
ence of the farmers over the greater
portion of the county 1t was decided
that no action will at this time be
taken by the commissioners. Com
missioner Murphy is particularly in
favor of a united fight for the west
ern part of the county where the hop
pers are the worst and it is quite
probable that a day will be set for
a general distribution of poison on or
about the 10th of next month.
Prof. Dean states that with the
most numerous varieties the egg-lay-
ing season BEGINS about the 10Th of
August, and that in consideration of
probable damage next year some &C.
ton should be taken before the egg
laying saeson begins.
There is also to consider probable
damage to early sown wheat. 1t is
quite probable that the fall damage
could be reduced to a minimum by
an organized warfare waged between
now and seeding time. Feed is sure
to be scarce and high and granting
that we have sufficient rainfall many
thousands of head of Kansas stock
may be wintered ON wheat pasture
if the danger from hOppers can be
eliminated before seeding time.
Ebehere in this issue is given the
formula in full and directions for u.s.
ing the poison which the state has
found to be very effective in Grad
icating the pest. Commissioner G.
W. Land and some others will begin
using the mixture this week in their
own fields and it is very important
that each farmer give the matter
close consideration as there appears
to be no ueighborhoOd i'm the county
where hoppers are not now found IN
sufficient numbers to be serious
menace to early sown wheat, and al
so to deposit enough eggs to meal
the destruction of next years crol
providing that the hatch is as grea
as this year.
