WILL FIGHT GRAssHOPPERs
Experts at State Agricultural College
Advise Farmers to Get Ready with
Bran Mash Poison.

Get ready with the bran mash pois-
on, for the grasshoppers are moboliz-
ing. While there was no general in
hesitation last year, reports coming to
the agricultural college from farmers
in many parts of the state show that
serious damage will be done this year
unless precautionary measures are
adopted.
The conditions last fall were very
favorable for the females to lay eggs,'
says George A. Dean, professor of en-
tomology in the state agricultural
college, ''and many of the eggs passed
through the winter safely. From the
large number of grasshoppers Matched
this spring considerable damage to
farm and garden crops is probable"
In the last two years the poisoned
bran mash, favored with fruit juice,
which was discovered by Professor
Dean, has been thoroughly tested in
this state as well as in other states,
and even foreign countries, and found
highly effective. 1t is consequently
recommended as the most effective
and the most practical method of con-
troll. The bran mash is made of bran,
20 pounds; paris green, L pound;
syrup, quarts; oranges or lemons,
3; water, " gallons.

Squatters who settled on Acker-

to the land, valued at $175,0O0, when
the district court at Wichita quieted

Twenty-oRe head of yearling steers
belonging to Matti brothers, who live

Falls, were killed by lightning in a
severe thunderstorm recently. The
cattle had gathered in a fence corner
and not one of the bunch escaped.
The loss is estimated at about a thou
sand dollars and was not covered by
insurance. The supposition is that a
heavy bolt of lightning struck the
fence, the electricity being carried by
the wire and scattered among the live
stock, killing them instantly. When
found by their owner, the cattle lay
piled SO closely together that their
bodies completely covered the
ground. This is said to be the heav-
lest loss of live stock occurring from
lightning ever known there

ZielOnka live in the United States2 Is
he acquainted with the constitution Of
the United States2 he does not seem
to be. And does he not know that a
certain clause in the constitution kept
Leo NJ Frank from hanging for two
years2 It was this clause in question
and not a million dollars And when
did conditions get so that one rabbi can
cause Christmas songs to be omitted in
the public schools Does he constitute
a majority of the taxpayers and citi-
zens of FL Paso2
1 have never heard of a protest being
made against the Jews closing up their
business houses and celebrating their
New Year and then celebrating their
Christmas. which is not the same as
ours And I have never heard of one
of them refusing TO sell goods during
our holidays They never refuse TO take
the good L. s. money. Now / find in

DEMONSTRATION TRAIN

train will be sent out by the agricul-
tural extension service of the Arizona
university this winter. For several
years a train has been sent on a six
weeks tour of the state every winter.
The reason for the abandonment Of the
plan is that the members of the eX-
tension service receive parts of their
salaries from the national government,
under the provisions Of the Smith
Lever act, and a recent ruling fOrbids
them accompanying demonstration
trains The government does not think
that sending out such trains is an eff

ARTESIAN WELLS
ARE INCREASING
San Simon People Are Graf
flied With Flow of Water
For Their Farms.

san Simon, Ariz, Dec. 16.-During
the last two years increasingly large
flows of water have been obtained as
artesian wells have been brought in in
the valley here, and farmers are be
ginning to think there is no limit TO
the flow these wells viii produce
The last well to be brought in is
much the largest in the valley, accord
ing to reports, which state that the Jet
rises ten inches above a SIS inch
casing. indicating a flow of about 800
gallons a minute. The well is on the
land of J. L. Hill, Is miles south OF
town and is $40 feet deep. He now
proposes putting down a 9 SIS inche
well on his land. believing he will OBJ
tain a flow of 1000 gallons minute.
The artesian well which supplies the
town with water has increased in
water pressure, despite increased con-
sumption. It is also noted that al
though the number OF wells is con-
Stantly increasing, the pressure in
none of the older wells has been di-
minishing- In fact it has increased in
some of them.
