tation. If the land is plowed to a
depth of at least six inches early in
the year, the eggs will be covered so
deeply that the young cannot emerge
after they have been hatched. 1t is
desirable that tbs plowing should be
finished as muc'l before April 10 as
possible.
Where the crop to be grown on the
land does not require plowing, the
eggs may be destroyed with little ex-
pense by stirring the ground to a depth
of about two inches before March 1.
This breaks and crushes many of the
cylindrical capsules in which the eggs
are cemented firmly together. Others
are destroyed by exposure to the
weather or from The attacks of natural
enemies. In clean. soft ground heavy

tested land, as the grasshoppers are
just beginning to feed then and the
mash does not dry out as quickly as
If it were applied later in the day.
After the first day little of the bait Is
eaten, so that several applications may
be necessary in badly infested fields.
The formula mentioned will provide a
sufficient quantity for acres of heav-
lily infested land and should cost about
% cents per acre for one application.
If the infestation is not very heavy,
the amount should be enough to treat
10 acres.
If the poisoned bait is scattered
evenly, domestic animals and birds will
not eat enough of it to harm them. The
bait, however, should never be placed
in heaps or scattered thickly about,
and care should be taken to keep the
poison out of the reach of children and
domestic animals. 1t Is best not to
use the hands for mixing as the poison
may be absorbed, although there are
no known instances in which poisoning
has followed the sowing of the wet
bait barehanded.

Cossou must draw from the same class
OF voters and Harding is likely to be
nominated by minority OF vets If
both dry candidates split the dry votes.
Cosson is now in the lead among the
DR.! $ Everybody can see it and Allen
is mad.
Instead OF making the defeat OF a wet
nominee possible by stepping aside
himself Mr.. Allen is touring southern
Iowa attacking CoSson He charges
that Cosson is not entitled TO the dry
vote. AS 10 this the dry voter is best
able 10 decide The fact is NOW that
Allen is nehtIng the candidate most

raSe he is out campaigning for the wet
candidate by attacking the only dry

IOWA AND OREGON.

Many Points Of Connection in History
IN Of TWO States.
Iowa has contributed largely TO the
settlement OF the region extending
westward from the Missouri river to
the Pacific ocean, declares the writer
of an article recently published by the
State Historical Society OF Iowa. the
reason, In nrt at least. Is to be found
In the position which Iowa occupied
with respect to the great westward
movement which with amazing rapid
ity conquered the wild. iunsubdued re-
gions of the west. Located where many
channels Of travel naturally converged,
on the border of the great dry plains
beyond, Iowa became a Way-stafion
where thousands OF people recuperateo
their strength and fortunes and gained
valuable frontier experience before
pressing on further to the west. For
instance large number OF men who
were influential in laying foundations
for the commonwealth Of Iowa soon
moved on to the far west and were, TO
an even greater extent and In a more
conspicuous way, influential In building
I'D the states of Oregon and Washing
ton. Among those best known were
Morton NJ McCarver. who was one OF
the first settlers on the site Of the city
OF Burlington. Iowa; w. w. Chapman,
the first delegate to congress from the
territory OF Iowa; William "a. Wallace,
who lived in Henry county for about
fifteen years and was prominent in pol
itics; Samuel r. Thurston, an early ed
itor at Burlington; George n. Williams.
who was district judge in Iowa for
several years: and others OF almost
equal fame All of these men later oc-
cupied important positions in Oregon.

bright idea. IL ideas could be ex-

the average inventor would shrink

AS rule, the inventor is poor

more than to be interrupted by the
harsh tones of an unpaid grocery bill
when he is busily engaged in invent
ing corn planter which can be con-
verified into touring car on Sundays.
Many an earnest inventor has had a
bright, promising idea knocked out of
his head just as he was about to work
It into a new kind of incubator, simply
because some bloodless, unfeeling Gre
ditor refused to allow book account
to outlaw. This is one reason why SO
