er, 3h gallons. Paris green is pre-
ferred to the other poisons but the
price of it this year is very high. and
hence in some cases it may be we'll to
substitute white arsenic or London
purple.
In preparing the bran mash, mix
the bran and the poison dry in a
wash tub. Squeeze the juice Of the
oranges or lemons into the water,
and chop the remaining pulp and peel
to fine bits and add them to the
water. Dissolve the strip In the
water and wet the bran and poison
with the mixture, stirring it at the
same time in order to dampen the
mash thoroughly.
The damp mash or bait should be
sown broadcast in the infested areas
early in the morning, when the
grasshoppers first begin to move
about. The amount of bait or mash
made by using the quantities of in
gradients given should be sufficient
to cover four to five acres.
On alfalfa fields the bait should be
applied after the crop has been re-
moved and before the new crop has
started If grasshoppers are moving
into corn, kafir, new wheat, or grain,
a strip of the poisoned bran mash
should be scattered early in the
morning along the edge Of the field.
A second or even a third application
of the bait will be necessary in some
cases at intervals of three or four
days.

GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS

Several thousand young men have
answered the call of the government
and started with their respective mil
itary organizations for the Mexican
border. Among these are thousands
of young men who leave wives and
small children. Unless the people
who stay at home see fit to donate
for the support of these wives and
children they will have nothing to
depend upon except the soldiers pay
of their husbands. A few of these
young men are officers and receive
fair salaries so that they do not make
much If any financial sacrifice. Many
of them are privates and receive only
SIS a month. 1t is impossible at
present to support a wife and two or

TO KILL GRAssHoPPERs

Grasshoppers threaten some of the
crops, especially alfalfa, in several
districts of the state unless prompt
and vigorous efforts are made to
check them, according to George A.
Dean, entomologist in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
, While there will be no general
grasshopper damage in Kansas this
year there are several local infesta-
tions in different parts of the state
where grasshoppers are in sufficient
numbers to do serious damage to
some Of the crops.
According to Mr.. Dean, the time to
get the grashoppers is just after
wheat harvest, when they are mi
grating from the wheat stubble to
the growing crops, or just after the
second cutting OF alfalfa. During
the last three years the poisoned
bran mash, favored with fruit juice,
has been found so effective in this
state and in other states and coun-
tries that the experiment station does
not hesitate to recommend it as the
most effective and practical method
of control.
The bran mash is made of bran,
20 pounds; Paris green, white arsen-
ic, or London purple, pound; strip,
2 quarts; oranges or lemons, 8; wat

three children on SIS a month.


Now while we acknowledge the OBJ
legations Of the citizen to his govern
ment there is reciprocal obligation
on the part of the government to-
ward the citizen. If at the command
of the government the able bodied
citizen must abandon his business,
the vocation by which he earns his
living and the living of his family,
1t certainly devolves upon the gov
eminent to see that his family is sup
ported at least as well as they would
have been supported II the citizen
had not responded to the call of his
government. There ought not to be
any uncertainty about this matter.
The support of these women and
children ought not to be left to the
generosity of private persons, for
probably those most able to contrib
ute will do the least in proportion to
their ability.
There is no state or national law
covering these cases and therefore
for the present private generosity
must be depended on, but it ought to
be remedied by immediate congress
sional action. The Canadian govern
ment is in advance of ours in this
matter. When a Canadian enlists in
the service Of the empire the Cana
dian government pays to his wife and
family sum equal to the monthly
pay he was earning before he enlist
ed. He of course gets his soldiers
pay in addition to this but the pay of
British soldiers is small. This gov
eminent feeds its soldiers better,
clothes them better and when in
camp, houses them better, than any
other country, but 1t does not take
care of their families while they are
