A western politician, well known on
account of his badness and ready

On being asked how he did it, he
made the following statement. Il
attribute the remarkable growth of
my hair to the use of the following

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper
published at Springfield, Ohio, Har-
Ian D. Smith presents a most inter
esting account of the big fight waged
against grasshoppers in Kansas last
summer. Twelve Kansas counties
united in ten-day campaign against
an invasion of grasshoppers more
terrible than any experienced in Kan
sas since the famous grasshopper
year'-1874.
Science and cooperation were too
much for the grasshoppers. Sixty per
cent of them were killed by the first
application of a poison recommended
by G. A. Dean, state entomolOgist at
the Kansas Agricultural College.
Second and third applications
brought the death rate up to ninety
per cent. Crops were saved in VIII CHI
hordes of the pests had already made
great Roadway, while few fields
which were not infested were saved
from damage. Saturday, July 18th,
was fixed as grasshopper day and
what happened in Ford county is de-
scribed as follows:
"That Saturday was sad one for
grasshoppers in Ford county. Before
night came LOO farmers had called
for their alloments of poison and had
sown it broadcast over the infested
fields. Bug men from the agricult-
uraI college were at each distributing
place to oversee the mixing Of the
poison and to explain the use of it..
County officers checked out the allot-
ments.
"Twenty-four hours after the pois-
on had been spread in Ford county
the effect was seen. Sixty per cent
of the 'hoppers had been killed by
the first application. Counts made
in a number of fields of average in
festation showed $50 to 200 dead
