GETS SHEEP AND DEER

Attorney Ralph Edmunds of Idaho
Falls went hunting last week in COM
pany with James Winn of Mackay and
got exactly what he went after. Mr..
Winn acting as guide brought him
within gunshot of deer on the third
day out, and then took him up on a
peak back of Mt. McCaleb at an ele-
walton of about 10000 feet and
brought him within fifty or sixty yds.
of some mountain sheep, and he got
the limit of both sheep and deer.
Mr.. Edmunds said it was marvel
GUS sight to witness the sheep making
their retreat after being fired upon.
They simply go in any direction they
start, and turn aside for nothing. If
they encounter rocks or peaks they go
straight over them and leap out into
space on the other side regardless of
where they are going to land. They
always seem to alight on their feet in
every plunge and keep right on plum
ging.
Mr. Edmunds says he has secured
his share of every kind of wild game
available in the west except the ibex,
and he has it from Mr.. VIM that the
only ones on the continent are in the
Thunder mountain country.

LADY FROM TUNGSTEN MINE

Mrs. w. E. Pierce of May, Ida. was
in town Monday morning on her way
home from Loveland, Colorado, where
she had been visiting her sister, Mrs.
G: D. Billingslea. Mrs. Pierce's little
daughter was run over by a loaded
wagon between Arco and Howe three
years ago and was quite seriously in
jured. They brough her to Black
foot for treatment, and she is now
with her auntie at Loveland attending
school, but has never entirely re-
covered from the accident.
Mr.. Pierce is the superintendent of
the Patterson Creek mine, which is
reputed to be one of the very rich
tungsten mines of the country. They
have been developing it for about Is
or 20 years and it is only recently
getting on a paying basis.

PIONEER LIFE is NOT EASY
Road to Success Not Always Path of
Roses-Homeste Handi-
capped by Small Capital.

All over the western frontier there
are vest sections of land being de-
veloped by people of small means;
men Of courage and loyal-hearted
women who have turned their backs
on the old home in the east and
wendell their way out into the great
west, there to take up a homestead
and build home of their own.
These are the people that most need
the support of the government, for
few of them have any capital and must
depend upon their labor.
Frontier life Is hard at best, and it
takes great amount of courage and
persistent effort to get start in life
under the conditions as found there
There are many things to contend
with that people In the east know
nothing of-horse and cattle thieves,
coyotes, hawks, ground squirrels and
many other annoyances.
A man must be a genius and q
hustler, too, for II he succeeds as a

horses to work and to ride, rope q
steer or horse. put on horseshoe,
build house or barn, even.
The homesteader Is at a great dis
advantage in having little or no CAPT.
tai and nothing for security to borrow
money on.
A good team, strong harness and
wagon are necessary because the
roads are rough; his fence must b
good, or the range stock will ruin his
crop, and the good wife must stay at
home or the coyotes and hawks will
catch her chickens. She must teach
her own children, as 1t 10 too far for
them to go to school.
She must be able to ride a horse,
milk COW, feed the pigs and do the
chores, for often the husband has to
go away from home to work In order
to make a living and improve his
claim.
Such is life on the far western from
ier.-H. r. b.. Montana.

NEW LICE PEST MAKES A
RAID In SOUTHEAST IDAHO
Specimens Have Been Sent to Univer-
sity From Parts of Fremont COun-
ty Shows That a New and Danger
GUS Pest Prevails i'm the State.

Spesimens of plant lice sent from
sections about Ashton and Marys-
vile, in the extreme eastern portion
of Fremont county, to the biology de-
partment of the university shows that
Idaho county has serious, new, farm
crop pest to contend with. The I'M
desirable immigrant is Toxoptera,
graminum commonly called the spring
grain aphis, or green bug" says
]. E. Wodsedalek, of the university.
This pest has previously been known
from New Mexico, Colorado, and
Montana to the Atlantic coast, and
within this territory, its area of de-
structive abundance, as well as the
severity of it's attack during any year
is regulated by two factors. First, the
presence of young growing wheat,
oats, barley or rye; and the second,
whether conditions favoring its rapid
increase and are favorable for the
development of it's natural enemies.
This insect, as is true of other
closely allied specimens of plant lice,
reproduces in two ways. AS cool
weather approaches in autumn there
occur in greater or less numbers both
males and females, the latter deposit
ing eggs, and it is in the egg state
only that under normal weather con-
dltions as to temperature. the green
bug" passes the winter, and from
these eggs it originates in the spring
But from spring to fall there are
neither eggs nor males; all are fe-
males, and these give birth to living
young in series of generations.
With the normal cold of early winter
these females gradually disappear and
the winter eggs remain.
The green bug" breeds freely in
temperatures ranging from above 100
degrees to below 46 degrees Fahren-
heit. The young mature in eight
days when they begin giving birth
to young. This fact explains the
rapid and enormous increase of the
pest under favorable conditions. The
pest in normal years-that is, when
its breeding begins in spring and the
weather continues warm-is effective
ly held in check by its natural enc
mics, and notably by a minute, black,
wasplike insect lysiphebus tritici, that
deposits eggs singly in the body of
the green bug" the larvae matching
from eggs, feed internally on the
bug and kill it within a few days.
Other natural enemies are the larvae
of certain predaceous flies, and the
larvae and adults of lady beetles. The
little wasplike parasite first men
toned, however, is the one that keeps
the green bug" in control in nor
NAL years, and in years when the lat
ter is most abundant finally over
comes it, as was the case in 1907 in
North Carolina, and other
states in the more northern part of !,
the range of the pest The parasite I
is native to this country, widely dis
tributed, always present in grain |
fields to war on these pests whenever
the weather conditions make its
breeding and multiplication possible.
and it's rate of breeding is so rapid
that with a week or two of favorable
weather it gains control over its host
of insects and destroys them.

There were seventeen contestants

culls to range from about one to one
third of the whole amount.
Most of the contestants were boys
about ten or twelve years of age, but
there were some girls with rosy
cheeks and white potatoes.
The Aberdeen club won the club
honors, and the Riverton club was a
close second. The best collections
were made of potatoes about three
inches across by one and one half
thick. Most of these boys and girls
are interested in spuds now and will
try again next year on larger scale,
looking to raising commercial crop.
