Gently issued by the state entomologic-

number of methods of combating the
grasshopper. Protection of next years
crops, however, is more easily and sat
isfactorily done than fighting the pests
after they arrive
Female Lays 200 Eggs
THE grasshopper that is at present
most serious in Oklahoma begins to
hatch during the latter part of April,
and Matching continues into June
says Professor Sanborn. They are
generally single brooded and lay their
eggs in hard soil, preferably, such as
embankments and uncultivated fields.
They are laid in pods of 100 to 200
eggs. Each female lays about two
hundred eggs. These are deposited
during August, September and October
in shallow holes made by means of
the posthole digging organ at the end
of the females abdomen. The eggs
are coated with frothy-like substance
which, after hardening, prevents the
eggs from becoming too moist or too
dry before Matching time. The hole is
then filled with dirt so that the eggs
cannot be easily located.
when the eggs hatch, the first
young scratch and twist until they
come to the surface of the ground. The
others then have no difficulty in com
ing out through the opening thus made
by the first ones. During growth they
shed successive skins as rapidly as
until they are full grown.
"Grasshoppers sometimes become
diseased late in the season. Expert.
ments with contagious diseases have
not given satisfactory results.

make silage of the corn and similar
crops. The ground will then be in eX-
cellent shape for early fall plowing.
This will prevent the safe wintering
in the fields of other injurious insects,
such as chinclibugs, boil worms and
corn root worms, as well as bringing
about the destruction of at least rs
per cent of the grasshopper eggs that
may be present in such fields"

The boat in which the "Blueberry Kid" Dutch Marie" Schmidt. "Fid- dler" John Holmberg and Frank Ad. ans left the Koyukuk in 1912 has been discovered on the Koyukuk. None of the parties that were in the boat when it left Koyukuk have ever been seen since the departure except the Blue. berry Kid" for whom the authorities have been searching for nearly q year in connection with the disappearance of his travelling companions.
 It is said that the "Blueberry Kids" true name is Thomas Johnson. In fact, Fairbanks papers say that Blue. berry Tom" and not "Blueberry Kid" is the real nickname of the survivor Of the party. Dutch Marie" and "Fid- dler John" were known to have sev. eral thousand dollars when last seen The "Blueberry Kid" was believed to have little when he departed from the Koyukuk. but 1t Is said that he had funds when seen in the States. Of ficers have been seeking him for near ly year
 The report came out from Fairbanks sometime ago that the "Blueberry Kid" was seen at Whitehorse about the first of June trying to raise stake to get back into the Interior. It is now said that this report might have been erroneous. as there are sev- eral "Blueberry Kids" in the Interior. and the one seen at Whitehorse might not be the one who has been sought by the officials.

MOUNT POLOFF SENT
 OUT BLACK DUST

It was Mount Polof that made all the noise and smoke and created all of the volanic alarm about Alaska a few days ago, according to Robert Forbes, who has just arrived from the section Of seismic disturbances.
 Speaking of his experiences Mir. Forbes said: Aboard the Windber to the Westward of Chignik on July F. We had just finished lunch when we were suddendly surprised by a noise like heavy thunder. In a few minutes a monstrous black cloud came rolling toward us and the laundering noise began to crack like heavy artil' lery. It grew almost as dark as a winter night.
 "The life boats, that were white be- gan to take on a different shade and were soon a somber black. ENamin' ation disclosed that a fine emery-like dust was falling from the sky and covering the vessel in thick blanket In a short while this dust lay on deck to the depth of an inch.
 1.-TWO days before this event we noticed that Mount Shushalin was al' SO active, sending out smoke and dust in great quantities. When We got to Unga we found that the town had al' so got her share of the black emery dust"

FAIRBANKS CITIZEN
 FOR PRIMARY LAW

The Fairbanks Citizen commenting upon an editorial in The Empire in support of a direct primary election law for Alaska says:
 Tt is quite true, as The Empire says, that the convention system is not generally satisfactory, and that the direct primary system is needed in this Territory.
 Tt is generally believed that there are few reforms that have done so much to purify politics as has the direct primary system, by means of which conventions are done away with and nominations are made by the voters at an election preliminary to the general election. Anyone who has played in the political game to any extent, knows that the conven- tion, aided by the present primary system. is responsible for more poli- tical dissatisfaction than any other thing.
 That Alaska will get the direct pri' mary in time is as certain as is the growth of this great Territory, but just how soon this wonderful reform will be effective here will depend upon the activity of the voters in demanding it."
