GrasshOppers and How to Kill
Them==The Kansas Pest in Maine

Orono, Me-, June T,-(SpeciaD. The
Maine Agricultural Experiment Station
is in receipt of a statement that the
farmers in the vicinity of Fryeburg, who
for several years have suffered consid-
cradle loss from infestations of grass
hoppers, are again confronted by these
insects which have Matched in sufficient
numbers to destroy grass, millet, and
oats over large area unless something
happens to kill them.
1t is quite possible to make something
happen to kill Them" as successful cam
paigns against grasshoppess in Western
states have demonstrated from time to
time in seasons of dire distress. The
following suggestions are adapted from
the records of one such battle printed in
the Journal of Economic Entomology as
an account of grasshopper control work
in Kansas As the same species (Melano-
plus Bivitatus and NJ. atlanis) which
wrought havoc in Kansas are among our
commonest grasshoppers in Maine, there
seems no reason why the same RENE
dies applied there should not prove
equally efficient here.

scattered in such a manner as to cover
five acres with the amount of bait made
by using the quantities of ingredients
given in the above formula. Since very
little of the bran mash is eaten after it
becomes dry, scattering 1t broadcast In
the morning, and very thinly, places 1t
where the largest number will find 1t In
the shortest time.
Sowing it in this manner also makes II
impossible for birds, barnyard fowls, or
live stock to secure sufficient amount
for the poison to kill them. lnasmucl
as the poisoned bait does not act quickly,
it will be from two to four days before
the grasshoppers are found dead, and
these will be more numerous In the shell
tered places. 1t does not require much
of the poison to kill them. Even small
portion from one of the poisoned fakes
will be sufficient to cause death.
We quote directly from the account OF
the Kansas work:
THE grasshoppers ate and so ravenous
were they for the poisoned bait that they
even left their choicest green food IN
two days the poison had done It's work
| Investigations and reports from all over
the country showed that from oV TO ~
per cent OF the grasshoppers had been
killed by the first application. Counts
made in alfalfa fields of average infes-
tation. showed from $50 TO 250 dead grass
hoppers per square foot. In many places
under a single tree there was peck OIL
dead grasshoppers, and along hedges the
ground directly under the hedge was
completely covered and in some places
they were actually piled up two ana
three deep. In other words, the results
were far better than anyone could have
expected"
The Kansas campaign was splendid
example of organized cooperation ana
demonstrated what can be done In the
face of so serious a matter as grass
hopper plague over an extended area.
Concerted action in infested localities III
Maine would doubtless bring the same
results However, much can be done by
few neghbors working together or
even single individuals with the pols-
oned bran mash here recommended.

A Message to Thin,
Weak, ScrawnyFolk
An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 80 lbs. Of
Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh

Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to say,
Il can't understand why l do not get
fat. eat plenty of good, nourishing,
food" The reason is just this: You
cannot get fat, no matter how much
you eat, unless your digestive organs
assimilate the fat-making elements Of
your food instead of passing them out
through the body as waste.
What is needed is a means of gent
ly urging the assimilative functions
of the stomach and intestines to alb
sorb the oils and fats and hand them
over to the blood, where they may
reach the starved, shrunken, run
down tissues and build them up. The
thin persons body is like a dry sponge
eager and hungry for the fatty ma
terials of which it is being deprived
by the failure of the alimentary canal
to take them from the food. The best
way to overcome this sinful waste of
flesh building elements and to stop
the leakage of fats is to use Sargol,
the recently discovered regenerative
force that is recommended so highly
by physicians here and abroad. Take
a little Sargol tablet with every meal
and notice how quickly your cheeks
fill out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh
are deposited over your body, covering
each bony angle and projecting point.
Bowditch- Webster CO. and other good
druggists have Sargol, or can get it
from their wholesaler, and will re-
fund your money il you are not salts
fed with the gain in weight it pro-
duces as stated on the guarantee, in
each package. 1t is inexpensive, easy
to take and highly efficient.
Charlottesville Sargol has produc-
ed remarkabl results in overcoming
nervous dyspepsia and general sto-
mach troubles, it should not be taken
unless you are willing to gain ten
pounds or more, for it is a wonderful
flesh builder.-Adv.

Mathematics in the Elementary School


An interesting pamphlet upon the
subject Arithmetic" prepared by the
Committee on Course of Study of the
Maine State Normal Schools has re-
Gently been issued by the State De-
partment of Education. As set forth
in the course two general aims under
lie work in arithmetic. The first aim
according to the pamphlet Is to give
the child through numbers the actual
mathematical knowledge he Will need
to cope with the world about him. Inc
actual calculations the ordinary indi-
vidual needs in life are comparatively
few and simple. Under the following
three heads the phamrhlet gives the
summary of the definite fund OF knowl-
edge that a child must have when he
leaves the rural or the elementary
school: % he must have a working
knowledge of the fundamental pro-
cesses: Cd he must be accurate ana
reasonably rapid in his calculations;
fS1 he must be able to keep his own
accounts and to reason out the ordi-
nary problems that come to person
in daily life. And 1t advises That
child be taught never to use his pen
ell when he can do without it in doing
these problems.
The second aim according to the
bulletins to give the child through
number such ideas and life lessons as
shall enable him to carry out the aim
of all education. namely, self-reliza-
ton. It states that Our aim In the
broadcast sense is to make every topic
and process A door to something
grander-a means by which the child
NAV come into harmony with the
world about him. For number is
point Of view, perspective and 1t is
not mathematics as distinct ana sep
arate science that we have most 10 90
with in the elementary school. 1t is
rather the mathematical phase oil
every subject in the school course,
