plications were made, good result:

and money small in proportion to the
results.
The spray consisting of l Id. arsen-
ate of soda, 2 quarts of molasses in 60
gallons of water, has been recommend
ed, especially when the hoppers are
young. This amount should be APP
piled on one acre of clover or alfalfa.
1t is said that thorough tests have
been made to ascertain whether or not
hay spray with this mixture is dam
gerous for stock feed, showing that
there is no danger in it's use
The important thing in the present
is to act quickly and united
ly. Not all of the eggs are Matched at
this time and not all of the hoppers
that are Matched can be destroyed, but
an united effort over the districts in
tested will result in much good and
can be repeated at later time if more
hoppers appear.

URGES WAR ON GRASS.
HOPPERS
Agricultural Agent Recommends
Organized Effort to Control
Pests

w. T. Mccall, county agent of th'
United States department of agricul'
ture, is sending out warnings of the
increase Of grasshoppers this year and
recommendation for their control. He
says:
Grasshoppers have appeared since
the weather has become warm this
spring in numbers that threaten SER
sous damage to clover and other crops
in some parts of the county. The
greatest danger seems to be on the
Wilder and Greenleaf bench and on
Deerhat, where the hoppers were num-
erous and very destructive last year
From present indications, unless
some concerted effort is made by the
ranchers, clover seed crop is in danger
of being entirely destroyed and other
crops are bound to suffer in greater
or less degree.
Individual effort in such a conting
ency is bound to result in considerable
effort, Without producing any great re-
suits. Therefore, community or or
ganized effort in the control of the
hoppers is very strongly recommend |
ed. Various methods of combating
the pest have been tried with varying
results. Probably poison bats or
sprays are most effective. Hopper
dozers have been tried with some sue
cess, but the expense is said to be al
most prohibitive.
OF the poison bats which have been
tried, the following are recommended
by the United States department of
agriculture and by several state ex-
pertinent stations:
/. The Criddle Mixture barrel
fresh horse manure, l h. salt, 10.
paris green.
The mixture, after the ingredients
are thoroughly stirred, is placed about
the field where hoppers are numerous
in small punches or scattered broad
cast.
2. Poisoned bran-25 lbs. bran, ID.
Paris green, parts molasses or
syrup, oranges or lemons.
The bran and Paris green are mixed
dry, then the syrup, to which has
been added the juice and grated peel
and pulp of the oranges or lemons, is '
dissolved in two or three gallons of
water and added to the bran Suf- ,
ficient water is then added to make !
moist mash. This is scattered
broadcast over the field, the above :
amount being sufficient for three :
acres.
Both of these mixtures should be /;
scattered very early in the morning, )
i. e., before sunrise, or late in the !
evening so that they will be found by
the grasshoppers in the early part of
the day, which is the time when the
hoppers are feeding most ravenously.
In the case of the second mixture, I
Farmers Bulletin No. 637 by the U. S.
department of Agriculture, states that
the use of oranges or lemons is essent-
ial in that it makes the bait attractive J
to the hoppers so that they will seek
it. 3
In the sections visited by grasshop-
pers last year, this bait was used with
some success. Some who used it re-
ported lack of results, but in many f,

masted vessels, square rigged on three masts ranging in size from 299S to 33S1 tons. Of these the William P. Frye. launched in 1901, was one of the latest and save only the Atlas the largest of the most superb fleet of clippers of this gen. eration-the last fleet of this type that will ever be constructed.
 The Frye and her sisters were of the medium clipper class. designed not for speed alone, but also for the safe carry ing of heavy cargoes In these tall steel ships the art of the saiship builder. rigger and sailmaker reached it's highest attain- inent in the United States--in vessels nobly combining strength, speed and nau- tica and commercial efficiency These are the Yankee sailskips that have held cut longest against all ccnauering steam
 It would have been easy for the com mander of the Prinz Eitel Erie drich, with his large crew, to complete the throwing over of the Frye's grain cargo until only enough for ballast remained and then order her to a port of the American conti- rent But counsels of ruthlessness pre- vailed; the dearest sail ship in the Amer icar merchant marine has been destroy ed but fortunately the doer of the deed is in our hands, and there is abundant oppor- tun.ty for enforcing compensation or re- prisal

SUNkEN CLIPPER SHIP
Some Facts About the Craft Sent to
 Bottom by Prinz Eitel

From the Boston Transcript.
 When the German officers of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich sank in' the south Atlantic the American ship William F. Frye, from Bath. they may not have known 1t, but they were striking the sharpest possible blow at the heart of maritime New Eng land. Bearing the name of a great sena- tor, revered by all who love the sea. the Frye for years has been the most famous square rigger under the American flag a great. stately, beautiful vessel, as inn maculate as yacht allow and aloft, with sky piercing spars and broad wings of snowy canvas. Many a New England sailor who saw her as she law at anchor off the piers of Seattle last autumn, ready for this her fateful. final voyage, realized that she was the very finest embodiment of morern Yankee shipbuilding and sea manship--a fit successor, albeit of a stur- dier type, to the Flying Cloud, the Dread naught the Sovereign of the Seas or the Great Republic
 Two decades ago the sewalls of Bath, as celebrated in their time as the Me Rays of Boston. determined that wooden sail ships for deep sea commerce had at taineu the zenitn or development m the Shenandoah of 3466 and the Roanoke of 3539 tons. More tightness and rigidlty of hull than wood alone could give, were requisite in such long vessels for Cape Horn voyaging. So the yard that for a hundred years had launched wooden slips was turned over to steel. and there were launched in succession the Dirigo. Ershine NJ. Phelps. Arthur Sewall..

 Buenos Aires is rapidly increasing the area of it's plazas and parks. The old city was crowded together without breath ing spaces. The new has as large lungs as any municipality in Europe and everything has been done to add to the health of the people. As a result the death rate has decreased At the time of my last visit it was B to the 1000 It is now only 15 being lower than the dea tn rate of New York and among the lowest of the great cities of the world. The city has already about 100 parks. prome- nades and plazas. and it is. making ar engagements for more. Some of the finest of the new parks have been made by cutting out buildings and there is one in front of the houses of Congress that was formerly devoted to vineyards. Pa lermo Park Is one of the fine parks of the world and the automobile throng which goes through it's principal roads upon Sundays compares with that of the Prater on the edge of Vienna. The city is fond of sporting. It has grounds for tennis. football and golf; and at the races beyond Palermo park you may see from 10000 to 2o000 people any Sunday or Thursday The most of them bet and thousands of dollars change hands Sn each race. And then there is the Tigre, the island suburb of the Rio de la Plata. where you may ride for hundreds of miles in boats among homes which remind you of Venice. There they have yachting, canoeing and water sports of all kinds.

to be reabsorbed by the labor market. Many, of course, will go back to their old jobs as soon as they get their discharge, and many will be taken care of by Earl Grey's scheme and other similar schemes. There will still remain hundreds of thou sands of men who will find that their jobs have disappeared during the changes of war, or have been filled by others who refuse to give them up.
 One of the schemes under considera- tion by Lloyd-George is taken from the United States. where war veterans have the preference in all public employment IL is proposed to adopt similar pro- vision here, extending 1t not only to na- tional but to municipal and semi-public employment of all kinds It may even be made a condition in contracts for sup plies for public departments that the con- tractors must, as far as possible, give the preference to workmen who can show an army discharge. If this plan is adopted men who have been employed on arma- ment work in England throughout the enlisting by the necessity of keeping the armies going will be supplied with cer- tificates placing them on an equality as far as chances of employment go wit, the actual fighting men,
 One hing is certain. and that is that in the present temper of the English peu- pie the men who have done the fighting must not want for anything when they come home. How long that temper will last it is hard to say. but in favor of it's permanence is the truly national char acter of the army. There is hardly i family in the country that has not given at least one member to the forces and it must be remembered that these are all young men--not only of military, but of voting age. The army vote will be q very real thing in England after the war,

which Is already at work is that of C. Arthur Pearson for training the men who have lost their sight in the war Mir. Pearson, who was formerly a great news paper publisher in London, lost lis own sight few years ago and he is now de- voting his life to helping his fellows in misfortune. He is chairman of the Ma tional Institute for the Blind, and he made such record as an organizer and money raiser that when the Prince of Wales fund for the relief of distress aris- ing out of the war was started he was placed in charge of it. and he has suc- ceeded in raising for it about $20, 900 600. Now he has started special institution for training blind soldiers and sailors and already he has more than 50 hard at work fitting themselves to become wage earners otto Kahn. the famous banker, has given him a house in Regents park, called St. Dunstan's. which has been specially fitted up for the purpose. and there the men are learning carpentry, boot making, basket making, telephone operating, massage, poultry farming and market gar dening. Several who are men of educa- ton are learning stenography and type writing and all are being taught to read the Braiiie alphabet.
 A visit to St. Dunstans, which has been renamed the Blinded Soldiers and Sailors hostel is a revelation in optimism.
 "A cheerier set of fellows I never met in my life" said MT Pearson. They re just bubbling over with good spirits and hope for the future. and they are making
 
 read Braile already.
 They take a keen interest in the amuse- ments we provide for them. St. Dun stan's is on an arm of the Regents park lake and they are able to go rowing, which is an ideal exercise for the blind
 Among the men in training at St. Dun stans are three officers of the army, one of the navy. a midshipman. and three Bel gian officers.
 Major General Lord Cheylesmore is the most active spirit in the movement for the training of disabled soldiers and sail DTS in general. This is being undertaken as special branch of the work of the Soldiers and Sailors Help society, of which the King and Queen are patrons and in which the late Lord Roberts was keenly interested. A plan is being worked out now for the extension of the society { worshops and training department as a memorial to that great soldier. and it has the hearty support of his widow and daughters.
 Lord Cheylesmore declares that in his experience what most of the disabled men dread is the prospect of long life with nothing to do, no matter how comfortably they may be provided for.

gress which have cost so much that the people have dubbed them the Palace of Gold" The avenue is 100 feet wide. It is lined on both sides with trees and you look down between rows of green to the great buildings at either end. The street has magnificent hotels and its stores compare with those of New York and Paris. There Is a great difference in architecture. Much of the decora- tion is Grecian, and the skill of the Ital- ian mechanic Is shown in the carvings.
 The designing of new buildings has been greatly improved by the munich palty. All plans have to be submitted to the city authorities Those accepted enter a competitive class, and the best plan of each year receives gold medal This medal goes to the archi- tect, who is thereby put at the head of his profession for the year to come
 In addition the municipality places a bronze plaque on the front of the prize house when erected and exempts U from the building taxes which all other structures must pay. In 1904 the prize was given to the palace of Sonora Madeline BasualdO, designed by Jules Dormal. in 1905 it went to building sn Calle Parera designed by Louis Dubois, and in 1908 1t was allotted to the front of house in Calle Esmer- aida, designed by Louis A Brogi. All of these buildings are artistically con- structed and the palace first mer- toned is one of the finest of all South

And now let us turn the x-rays on the harbor. Buenos Aires does more shipping business than any town on our hemi- sphere outside New York and it now ranks eighth among the great ports of the world. It's foreign trade is rapidly climbing to $1,0O000o,0OO a year, and it is already ahead of Bremen. Calcutta, Sing apore, Genoa and sydney, and is sur passed only by New York, London. Ham, burg, Liverpool, Antwerp, Marseilles and Havre. Between B, 1000 and 10000 vessels annually call at or depart from Buenos Aires, and thousands of these are from over the oceans. coming from every part of the world. There are altogether some thing like 30.00o coasting boats.
 The city lies on the right bank of the Rio de la Plata river about POO miles from the open Atlantic. At this point the stream is over 30 miles wide and the great mass of silt which it carries down to the ocean has neccssitated the building of docks and the deepening of the channel at a cost of many millions of dollars. About a generation ago there was a great mud bar in front of the city and the anchorage was almost F miles away. All goods had to be trans ferred to lighters barges. To obviate this a channel had to be excavated and great dock basins built These have been constructed at enormous cost. and today ships anchor. as it were. almost in the heart of the town. One series of locks cost S37. 100000. and others are planned that will cost millions more.

This is only part of general scheme for providing outdoor and independent employment for any dis vantage of it, built is the part that has attracted a great deal of public atten- tion. Even the South African war, fought in milder climate than the scene of the present struggle. sent home many perma- nent cripples from rheumatism. and Americans will remember the terrible toll Of this disease among their fathers who fought in the civil war. The Royal Co., lonial institute has appointed a commit tee to investigate the whole question of settling discharged soldiers on the vacant lands Of the empire. and this committee has been instructed to nay special atten- tion to the case of the men whose com tort will demand more genial climate than that of England or Canada.
 one of the fellows of the institute is now travelling through Australia collect ing information about what land may be available and on what terms for soldiers or this class, and he will confer with the state sovernments with view to securing iree land and assisted passages for the men who have given their health in the service or the empire Canada has al- ready offered free farms for ex-soldiers, put the nature of her climate demands that they should be fairly able bodied men.
 Earl Grey's plan provides for the es- taolshment in London of a central agency at which all the states of the em- pire might pool their available land Sol- diers wishing to become settlers could ap- ply there and all the information as to enmate' conditions of gift or purchase. passage out, and other conditions could De given to them in a few minutes. Ihis agency would also be prepared to assist with the passage money for the soldier and his family or even in suit able cases to advance the whole of It. The agency would also be in a position tc investigate the good faith and suitability oi every applicant and thus save the do- hinions from the risk of criminals or incapabes dumped on them.
 Another phase of the post war situa- tion IS being considered by the govern ment and especially by Lloyd George. as- sisted by John Burns whose wide knowl- edge Of labor and social conditions is being made use of by the government although he is no longer in the cabinet.
 This is the task of getting the dis charged soldiers back to work when the great army is disbanded. It Is estimated that there are now. or will be before long, nearly 4,O00,0OO men under arms. The strength of the regular army before the war was only about so0OOO. It is unhkeiy' or course, that it will return to that figure for many years to come, but assuming that even l.OOooOO men arc kept under arms, that will leave ao0ooc
