FARM SCHOOL TESTS
TO BE HELD SOON

County Superintendent of Schools
A. P Shibley announces that entrance
examinations to the University Farm
School at Davis will be held under his
supervision at his office, June %,
1910
These examinations are open to any
young man Is years of age or older
who desires to enter the University
Farm School on the 18th of next Sep
tember. If he is a graduate from a
high school accredited to the Univer-
sity, 1t will not be necessary for him
to take any examinations.
The entrance examinations will COW
er English and arithmetic. The ex-
animation IN English will consist of
the writing of paper of about 500
words on one of several given sub
lects that IN arithmetic will be the
working of problems, including the
application of percentage to farm
problems; the finding of averages, and
the application Of these principles to
ordinary business and farm problems.
The opportunities for the young
man who combines practical ranch
experience with technical training in
agriculture are increasing faster than
the supply Of well equipped men, and
this county should have a number of
young men taking advantage of the
education the state is offering at the
University Farm School at Davis.
OF the 289 students enrolled this
past year at Davis, one is from this
county.
Through the cooperation of our
county school superintendent, candi-
dates taking this examination will
know before they leave home whether
or not they have passed, thus saving
any unnecessary expense in going to
Davis, unless they prefer to wait un-

HOPSKI NOW HAS

Hopski now has twin rival which
likewise has been placed under the
ban. The new drink, which comes un.
der the recently enacted municipal leg
islation prohibiting the sale of Hopski,
bears the name Golden Seal Lager"
and is said to resemble the 2 per cent
variety of beer in many respects.
Since the passage Of the Hopski leg
islation, representative of the Goldea
Seal Lager manufacturers called upon
Chief Of Police Egerer with a sample
Of the drink and asserted that he IN
tended to erect a stand and offer the
new drink for sale.
The chief of police declined to sam
pie the near lager and informed his
interviewer that any violation of Il
Hopski legislation by him would :
suit in immediate cognizance of the Of
fense by the police ard his arrest
would follow.

HOPPER HORDE NOW
IN HIRERNATI0N

Although the grasshopper horde has
dispersed, the pests will reappear
again probably within a month, and
in increased numbers. according TO
Horticultural Commissioner T ".
Waite. The present lack Of the pest
Is due to the approach Of their hiber-
mating period" he said
For the past several months grass
hoppers have wrought considerable
damage IN the Holtville and Mesquite
Lake districts, but lately there ha5
been q cessation of the ravages and
at the present time those regions
which were the most thickly populated
with the pests are now entirely free
from them and the only indications
which remain to show that the hop
pers ever We're in the valley are the
partially devastated fields in some
districts"
The relief from the pests, accord
ing to the horticultural commissioner,
is destined to be of short duration.
"The adult hoppers have simply
burrowed into the soil for their hi
bernating period and the new genera
ton will appear within a month.
"The grasshopper, like the weather,
is an uncertain quantity and his an
nual coming and going is contingent
upon a number of points. Climatic
coditions affect the life cycle of the
grasshopper and that elusive pest is
also subject to a disease blight which
effectively purges the country of thel.
presence.
Parasites are another effective
check in hating the grasshopper in
crease and with favorable weather
conditions the parasite may multiply
with amazing rapidity, while the ad-
dition to the ranks of the grasshop.
pers may be retarded both by climatic
conditions and through the attacks o
the parasites.
"Discing has proved the most ef-
fective grasshopper preventative and
not only should the alfalfa fields be
thoroughly disced, but the borders
and ditch banks should be plowed over
to expose the deposited grasshopper
eggs to the elements.
"The discing of alfalfa fields should
be done only in the winter and not at
this period Of the year.
