"Grasshopper Fight
Should Be Made''

J.
According to several who have
been watching the grasshopper situa-
tion there are more hopperg Matching
out now than there ever has been At
this season of the year. Col, J. B.
IWadlington, of the National Sugar
Manufacturing Co.. states that they
are so numerous that there viii be
serious losses to crops unless early
action is taken against these pests.
He says that battle against the hop
pers should be made while they are
small and that II the fight is made
generally the district may be almost
entirely ridded Of them before they
have chance to do much damage.
Col. Wadlington says that either
of two poisons are good, and sug-
gests a simple mixture of two pounds
of paris green to fifty gallons of Wa
ter. This may be applied with an
ordinary flower pot where the dis
trict to be sprayed is not large.
Another mixture which Col. Wad-
lington considers good is coal-oil
mixture, using one gallon Of oil to
two gallons of water. In using this
mixture it is necessary to keep the
mixture well stirred while being put
on. The paris green and bran mix
ture is also good and may be used
| If desired in place of the others.

Melon Markets Are
Opening Up We'll

Activity in the cantaloupe business
is being displayed and heavy ship
ments of melons are going out. The
melons which are being marketed
are the best as the system which the
Office of markets of the department
of agriculture has enforced is making
1t so no bad melons are allowed to
get by. AS result the prices are
good, some of them choice. The
Brawley News has the following gen.
eral summary:
nights are still lutte cooler than
usual for this time of year, regular
lcantaloupe weather during the day
! time has at last arrived and the mel
ons are coming in heavy quantities.
On Thursday of this week about 1876
cars were ordered. Up to and in
Guiding June Z, 624 cars had been
shipped, including <ne daily ship
ments of June of 81 cars; June 6,
76 cars; June Z, 80 cars. In addi-

of tomatoes, 23 cars vegetables and
IS cars of watermelons. In another
three weeks Malaga grapes will be
ready.
The cantaloupe men are now busy
night and day and are feeling very
good over the seasons prospects. Per-
sonal examination of many fields and
supplies in shipping sheds seems to
prove that the quality this year as
whole is much better than for several
years. With the Office of Markets
holding shipments to proper distribu-
tion, the horticultural inspectors
looking out for green melons. much
Iof the hazards and hardships of the
former cantaloupe deal have been OBJ
Waited. Excepting the cold weather
which held the crop back, the con-
ditions covering the deal this season
have been more perfect than in any
time in the history of the industry.
The good quality and eatable mel
ons shipped in the beginning of the
deal have created a demand right on
the jump and shippers are busy try
ing to fill orders. Within another
few days the 200 cars per day limit
will be reached. Cantaloupe men fig
ure that that is about the daily
amount the markets covered can
handle safely.
In the lower part of the Valley the
season is on with a rush. M. B.

Mysterious Things
Are Being Done

Breckenridge-The people of the
Breckenridge district are very much
puzzled as to the meaning of some
Of the queer doings that have been
going on in this vicinity within the
last week. Last Wednesday night
Mrs. Chas. Bode Sr. was assaulted
and choked to Inconsistencies, and
on Sunday morning there was found
between Mr.. Geo. W. Jackson's and
Mr.. Sabonis' place and all around
the Sabomis place several small piles
of corn with few white beans mix
ed with it. Mr.. Jackson's horses
were running on this particular part
of the range and one of his work
horses went down helpless on Satur-
day and is still in paralized condi.
ton. While it is not known that its
sickness is caused by eating some Of
this corn or not or whether the corn
is poisoned or not has not been learn
ed but things look rather suspicious.
Bert Ely also found two small piles
Of corn between his house and we'll
put there by some unknown person.
Mr.. Ely sent this corn to Ordway to
have 1t analysed to ascertain If it con-
tanned poison or not. The corn is in
a dry condition and don't look as IL
1t had been soaked or even wet SO
undoubtedly was put out after the
storm of Saturday night. The people
are very much puzzled over these
mysterious doings as to who the per-
lpetrator is and what the object is.
On account of the storm Saturday
night the meeting which the voters of
north Crowley county we're to have
held was postponed till Thursday of
this week.
