| With grasshoppers appearing IN
many parts of the valley a full month
earlier than usual, plans for con-
1 certed countrywide movement to eX-
/ terminate them have been fastened by
the County Farm Bureau.
A special committee appointed by
President R. E. Wills and composed of
Phil Brooks of Meloland, Jacob Lorang
of Mesquite Lake and Frank Moore OF
Heber has outlined q campaign which
will be carried on through the twelve
farm centers and in which poison and
fire will be used to rid the county of
/ them.
Walter E. Packard, superintendent
of the Experiment Farm, roughly es-
Inmates the damage caused yearly in
the valley by grasshoppers at $4,000.
The greatest damage is done in al
falfa fields, which in many cases have
been eaten clean, nothing remaining
but the stem Cotton, corn, garden
truck and trees have suffered from
the visits of the hoppers. The species
that does the most damage in the val
ley is called by entomologists the
"Melanoplus devastator," and many
ranchers, while not recognizing the
first part of the name, believe the
second half particularly appropriate.
The graSshoppers here are declared to
be native of the valley, but by con-
certed action, Farm Bureau officials
say, the hoppers may be controlled
for several years. They add that it
will be of small avail if one man cleans
his field of the hoppers and his neigh
Dor fails to do likewise. To take care
of this situation, it is probable that
the Farm Bureau will ask the super
visors to enact an ordinance whereby
the County Horticultural Commission

Grasshopper Campaign

may go upon a ranch and clean it Of
grasshoppers and make the charge a
lien against the property.
The Farm Bureau is now organiz-
ing the campaign. Quotations on the
white arsenic, bran, molasses and other
ingredients of the poison mixture are
being obtained The Bureau will buy
in great quantities and thereby secure
the lowest possible prices. 1t will mix
the poison and distribute it through
the farm center organizations at cost
to all ranchers, whether members of
the Farm Bureau or not.
Another means of combating the
hoppers is the distillate spray. which
has been tested out in the valley by
both Mr.. Packard and Professor Wood
worth, head of the chronological di-
vision of the University. 1t consists
of reservoir thrown over the back
like knacksack with long tube and
rod attached. At the end OF this is
a spray through which distillate OF
''tops" is shot out under air pressure.
The end is kept ignited by the flow
of the liquid and it is swept through
the alfalfa close to the ground, al
lowing a cloud Of fire to rise up
among the leaves This is recommend
ed only along ditch banks or in parts
or f;olJe bo d11, ;,,fecta6 with tho hon.
pers. 1t singes the alfalfa, but cooks
the hoppers within fairly wide ra-
dius. Where the hoppers are spread
over field the poison is to be used.
1t should be distributed after a cut
ting. 1t is two or three days before
the hoppers die from the poison in
noticeable numbers. AS far as is
known, the mixture does not injure
poultry, according to the University
bulletin on grasshoppers.

COTTON EXPERIMENT
RESULTS TO BE SHOWN

The results cf experiments in the
irrigation of cotton carried on at the
University of California farm at Mel
GLAND and extending over a period of
three years will be explained at the
cotton culture conference which will be
held in Calexico next Saturday morn
ing under the auspices of the County
Farm Bureau. The subject will be pre-
sented by Walter E. Packard, super
intendent of the experiment farm, and
is one Of a series of practical talks
that has been arranged by the Bu-
reau.
Mr.. Packard has prepared charts
which will show in graphic manne,
the effect Of varying amounts of wa
ter on the growth of the plant and
upon the retention of squares. He
will explain the necessity Of thorough
irrigation before planting and the diff
ference in irrigation of various types
of soil. His paper will cover the
topic of irrigation and the program
will also include talks on the prepara-
tion of the land and planting and the
care of the young cotton. Announce
rent of the other speakers has not
yet been made.
In planning the conference the Farm
Bureau has the cooperation of the
Farmers and Merchants Club of Ca
lexico, the Lower California Agricul.
tural Association and the Long Staple
Cotton Growers Association. The Blu.
reau's committee for the conference
is composed Of Grover LOTUS Of Mt
Signal, W. R. Lineau Of South Fern
William Moores of Seeley, Walter E
Packard of Meloland ard A. NJ Nelson

decided upon when the showing wa;
made to the Bureau that large per.
centape of the ranchers who will plant
cotton this spring will do so for the
/ liiSL tliilc.
The Farmers and Merchants Clul
Of Calexico has arranged for tht

in the cotton fields and visits will
probably be made to several ranches
where the soil conditions are differ
ent from the first. Old time cottol
planters will be on the ground and al
questions of cultivation and irriga
tion will be answered. In the fled
many of the matters discussed at thu
morning meeting in the theatre viii

LEGUMlNOUS PLANTS
ADD ONLY NITROGEN

"The fact that leguminous plants
add only to the element of nitrogen
to the soil and do not MAINTAIN the
mineral elements is often overlooked
by our farmers" says A. F. Kidder,
professor Of agronomy, L. S. U.
"The mineral elements, of which
phosphorus, potassium and calcium
are the most important, must be pur-
chased. Each Of them can be obtain
ed in number of forms. Phos-
phorus in this state usually supplied
in the form Of the acid phosphate
Acid phosphate is made by treating
one ton Of raw rock phosphate with
one ton of commercial sulphuric
acid. This make two tons of acid
phosphate, but decreases the amount
of phosphate by one-half. To soils
that have large amount of organic
matter and if supplied at the same
time organic matter is turned under,
the finely ground rock phosphate
may be found to be great deal
cheaper. This material can be pur-
chased quite a bit cheaper than the
other form. It ought never to be
used, however, unless by the above
method.
"The soil of Louisiana do not
generally need potassium for gen.
eral farm crops and, when it is ap-
piled, potassium sulphate or kainit
are generally added. Some crops,
however, such as Irish potatoes, re-
quire large amount of this element

CLORIA'S ROMANCE

Billie Burke, who is considered by
many theatrical critics America s
most charming actress, has been en-
gagged at salary Of more than
$4,000 per week to play the leading
role in "Gloria's Romance" the new
motion picture novel from the pen
of Mr.. and Mrs. Rupert Hughes.
Foreseeing that the picture would
probably be the years best attrac-
ton, Manager Davis Of the New
Theater fastened to book it for his
patrons, even though he found it
necessary to pay rental price far
above his regular run of films.
Women particularly find much to
admire in winsome little Miss Burke,
and her fame as the best dressed
star in the United States will be
more than maintained in "Gloria's
Romance" for during the course of

badly best to apply the potassium at
least one month before planting.
calcium or lime serves a treble
function in making better crops.
First, as an element of plant food !;
secondly, as a soil sweetener, and
thirdly, as helper in getting some
of the other elements Of plant food
