TRANSFORMERS DAMAGE
CROPS NEAR STARBUCK
Entomologist NJ. A. Yothers Investi-
gates Conditions and Recon-
mends Poisonous Mixture
as Remedy

Professor M. A. Yothers, ento-
mologist of the state experiment sta
ton, who returned Friday from Star
buck, where he was called to investi-
gate an army of grasshoppers which
were devastating the crops in that
section, reports millions of the pests
in evidence in the Starbuck country.
MIR. Yothers says the grasshoppers
are doing great damage to young al
falfa, potatoes and ruit trees, eating
the alfalfa to the ground, stripping
the potato vines of their leaves and
barring the fruit trees Many young
trees from one to three years old are
almost naked.
Many acres of alfalfa have been
devastated. While the grasshoppers
are more or less general in the Star
buck district Mr.. Yothers' investiga-
tions were made several miles above
Starbuck, where the greatest dam
age has been done. He reports the
species, most of them native of the
west. Many Kansas hoppers were in
evidence.
Mr.. Yothers recommended a poi
sonous mixture, consisting of one
pound of Paris green to 25 pounds
of bran and one pound of either salt
OIL sugar.
These ingredients are mixed dry
and enough water added to make a
mushy substance, which is scattered
broadcast through the infested area
and is readily eaten by the grass
hoppers.
While Mr.. Yothers does not an
ticipate any serious spread of the
pests he advises farmers TO watch for
them and take immediate steps to-
ward their eradication, should they
appear.
The grasshoppers, it is stated,
start on the outside of the fields and
gradually work their way inside, eat
Ing all the green foliage. Alfalfa
they strip nearly down, while from
the trees they eat the leaves. They
seem to have a special liking for bar
ley. attacking it just below the heads
and eating them off, apparently suck
ing the juices from the stalk, The
head fails to the ground and is lost.
The grasshoppers are reported in
some parts OF the upper Tueannon
valley.

GRAssHOPPER ARMY ADVANCES

The army of grasshoppers which
recently made its appearance near
Starbuck, is reported to be moving
up the Snake river and the advance
guard has reached Wawawai. The
Invading host is ravaging the coun-
try through which 1t is passing and
Is said to have eaten the leaves, fruit
and bark OF peach orchard 10
miles below Wawawai. Across the
river from that place tomato vines
and corn have been completely de-
stroyed by the invaders and they are
attacking the young trees of the Al
pcwa Orchard Co.
The fruit men of Wawawai are
preparing to put up vigorous fight
to check the advance of the grass
hopper host and Professor Yothers
has gone to starbuck and will fol-
low the invaders up the river and
plan an attack upon their rear
guard.

SHNsON MARSHAL ONES
CHASE IN AUTOMOBILE
Police Judge Says No
Case

Police Judge George Henry is ont
to the extent of couple of hours of
perfectly good sleep and the city
marshal of the town of Johnson is
minis the amount OF money he paid
for automobile hire to lring him to
Pullman as result of a singing con-
test conducted by n humber of Pull
man electricians on their way home
from the Cotton country Monday
evening, but no damage was done to
the warblere. A crew of electricians
had spent the day Monday repairing
the lines OF the Idaho Washington
Light and Power company, recently
purchased by the Washington Water
Power company, near Cotton and
Uniontown, and about o'clock that
night passed through Johnson III
spring wagon on the return trip.
Passing through Johnson the wire
workers INDUCED in a songfest, and
the discordant notes emanating from
the threats of the amateur musicians
aroused the wrath of Johnson's Off
cial city sleuth, who imm ediately de-
nlanded that the party stop off in
Johnson long enough to allow the
city magistrate to relieve them of
enough of their summers wages to
recompense the city for the damage
done by the imitators of Patti and
Nordica. The electricians were re-
luctant to stay their progress, how
ever, and continued their way home
ward. The marshal wasted a few
rounds of ammunition shooting at
the stars and then hied himself to
the nearest automobile and started
in hasty pursuit. The two vehicles
reached Pullman about the same
time and the entertainers" were i'm
mediately placed under arrest by the
Johnson marshal for disturbing the
peace. Police Judge Henry was called
out of bed to conduct the case and
after rubbing the sleep out of his
ey es and donning his wardrobe
wendell his way down town and
heard the evidence" in the case
After due deliberation the judge
opined that the sing electricians
had not disturbed the peace and dig
Lity of the residents of our neighbor-
ing town to an extent that would
warrant their conviction and prompt
ly released the entire bunch.
The Johnson marshal stated that
he was sat :sfied that no damage had
been DONE but said the people of
johnson had been considerably an
noyed of late by midnight automobile
parties passing through the village
who gave vent to their feelings in
loud voices and disturbed the slum-
bers of peaceful citizens. He was
of the opinion that he had encount-
cred one of these parties when he
started in pursuit of the electricians,
but when the true conditions were
explained to him he returned to his
official duties minus the automobile
hire, but satisfied that he had ar
rested an innocent party in an at
tempt to quell the frequent disturb
ances.

Fate of Interstate League

practically decide whether or not the
much-talked-of. Interstate League

The budding Interstate League
seems to be swiftly turning to bloom

a circuit with either six or eight
teams picked from the best towns
of Eastern New Jersey and along the

Secretary Farrell. of the National
Association, has given assurances
that the new league will be granted
protection if a circuit sufficiently

NEW YORK. Jan. 29-News was
received here yesterday of the death
at Central Valley, N. Y, of Colonel
Aaron II. Taylor, dean of the breed
ers of thoroughbred trotting horses
of Orange county. He was 50 years
old.
AS a youth Colonel Taylor came TO
this city and established a sales
stable at Broadway and Forty -second
street. Among his patrons were Com
modore Vanderbilt, Major Wood and
other prominent horsemen of that
period. In 1860 he returned TO Gen.
trail Valley and commenced the breed
ing of trotters and racing horses at
Roselawn. Among his famous horses
We're Florida, for whim he is said to
have refused an offer Of $4,000. and
Hambletonian. which he sold to the
King of Italy for that sum. The En-
peror of Russia was the purchaser
of two other horses. Albert L. and
Jim Moulton. for which fabulous
prices were paid.

BASEBALL STAR OF PAST CLAIMS GAME OF YEARS AGO
REQUIRED MORE PERFECT ATHLETES THAN AT The PRESENT
Walter Prince, Member of Fa-
nous HaverhiII Team, Now
Worthington Superintendent,
Holds That Opinion

Baseball as played today is more
scientific and the contests require
more FRAMEWORK upon the part of
the individual players than when the
game was in swaddling clothes. But
the players of yesteryear were SUI
perior in athletic prowess and all
around skill than the diamond heroes
of today"
If you would take the negative side
of the above subject Walter Prince,
a member of the famous Hayerhill
New England team, two decades ago,
who is superintendent at the Worth
ington Pump Works, will furnish you
with sufficient and ample proofs to
convince you that his arguments hold
water. Prince, in his days one of the
best first baseman in the country, be-
lieves that the pioneers of the sport,
in other words, our grandfathers,
were superior in skill to the present
day product.
His strongest argument is his state
ment that player had to have a
rugged constitution and all-around
ability to hold his own in the
period when gloves were I'M
known, at a time when there
were no utility players or
pinch hitters; no extra pitchers
carried to work against certain clubs
and no second or third-string catch
ers such as even the minor league
clubs carry today on their roster. A
class ID league manager would not
think NOWADAYS of starting a season
without two good catchers and a
quintet of twirlers.
Mr.. Prince has submitted a lengthy

point. but there are others open to
criticism. The stars of other days
may have been great runners, pos
sessing marvellous speed in throwing
the sphere and cireling the bases,
but they were no more speedy than
the athletes of the present day.
Where the former stars did get an
opportunity to show genius was in
developing plays which have long
since been adopted and used daily
by their successors.
The fact that new plays Of much
value are seldom developed nowadays
is due to the fact that the game has
reached a point where its scientific
side can hardly be improved upon.
The players Of today. therefore, may
not be as original on the whole as
their predecessors. They may not
be as rugged, but the game has not
deteriorated.
Mr. Prince does not strive to give
that impression. He believes that
the players Of today who look with
scorn on the former luminaries Of
the diamond, are ignorant Of the true
facts concerning the inception of the
national pastime. He claims that
Rusie and other pitchers used every
curve and kink, including the drop,
the hop and fadeaway, and points
with pride to one argument, which
seems irrefutable-that even if the
batter could call for the ball to be
pitched where he wanted it at one
time, the credit was all the more for
the pitcher who could Withstand such
rugged work and pitch every other
day and sometimes three and four
days in succession.
