FARMERS TO ORGANIZE
Permanent Organization to Be Formed
to Cooperate With County Agent.

Last Tuesday afternoon about thir-
ty farmers met at the court house to
discuss the work of the county agent
and how to make it most effective and
beneficial. The meeting was presided
over by H. w. Hochbaum, state lead
er of county agents, and free and full
discussion was had. The work Of
County Agent Kjosness was strongly
endorsed by most of those present.
OF the number in attendance there
was but one man who dissented, and
he was opposed to the work in every
way, under the belief that farmers did
not need the assistance that a county
agent can give His views found no
support, however.
At the conclusion OF the discussion
It was decided to form an organization
of farmers, such as the United States
government promotes in all states
where it cooperates in extension work,
to assist in laying out aud directing
the work of the county agents. The
organization will be extended to all
localities in the county, with local Or
ganizations to look after the work OF
such localities.
A temporary organization was form
ed with F. R. Meadows president, j.
P. Voight secretary.
A permanent organization will be
formed sometime in December at
which time the plans will be perfected.
Mr.. Hochbaum was greatly pleased
over the endorsement the farmers
gave to the work of Mr.. Kjosness.

EXTERMINATE GRASSH0PPERS
NOW.

The most effective and the cheapest
way of exterminating grasshoppers is
to destroy their eggs. 10,
The eggs are deposited about an
inch below the surface on high and
dry spots of ground, especially uncul-
tivated and firm portions of the farm.
They will be found on old badger
mounds, ditch banks, In cow paths,
around straw stacks where stock has
been tramping, along fences, roadways
and other similar places.
Use the Plow, Disc or Harrow and the
Pick Ii Necessary.
Stir the ground to a depth of two
inches and expose the eggs laid on
badger mounds, ditch banks, in the
paths of stock and along the roadways
to the frosts of winter and insects of
spring.
Reports from all over the county
stat thai there were unusually large
numbers of grasshoppers just after
harvest the egg laying season. Close
observers testify that they saw grass
hoppers creep along the ground and
deposit eggs every few inches.
Mr.. Henry Shandrew OF Arb0n turn
ed up thousands OF capsules of eggs
while cultiyating his summer iall0w
lust after the rain the last of Septem-
her. This was out of old badger
mounds. IL Is IA safe thing TO say that
next year will he bad year for grass
hOppers unless the farmers of this
county all agree TO do a good job Of
cultiyating this fall and early next
spring.
Grasshoppers have destroyed sever
eral valuable crops. Mr.. Lolumardoer
of Little Creek reports that the grass
hoppers this year destroyed half OF
his bean crop after they were practi-
cally in the last stages of ripening
In an adjoining field they left a bare
field where there had been first year
growth of alfalfa.
On the Blackstone ranch this pest
completely ate up an alfalfa seed crop
from a forty acre field, also dana ging
other crops.
! From Fairview, Mr. Vance testifies
that his dryland alfalfa was injured
! fifty per cent by the hoppers.
/ The county agent has seen gardens
and crops in all section sof the coun-
! ~ entirely eaten up. In some cases
these vegetarians have dug into the
roots, such as beets and carrots and
done away with the greater portion OF
I these.
Many people are under the impress
sion that there is but one variety ot
grasshopper. this the migratory. the
one which flies great distances and
visits a section occasionally and leaves
as suddenly as il comes
There are. however, other varieties
which remain and are the really -
pests. These creep and hop and fN

The Panthers' record now shows eleven

Blue and Gold are Yale, Colgate. West

lower Pitts colors this winter, and this
blot on an otherwise perfect page was
expunged by the is lead established
by Pitt in the second tussle with the

II this was a great year, therefore, for
Pitt on the gridiron. 1t is no less success

shown its strength on all sorts OF occa-

Few games remain before the close of
the local season. Two contests with

to finish this program without a defeat.

Mr.. Camp resigned from the commit
tee at its meeting a year ago, after serv-
ing the body since its inception In the
early SOS. A few months ago he an
nounced his retirement from Yale sth-
letlcs.

next fall
Mr.. Camp will act as Yales represent
alive on the committee. What is more,
he will act as footballs most qualified
representative on footballs own COM
mittee.
1t was he who actually created the COM
mittee close to forty years ago, and II
was he who captained four victorious
Yale teams-from 1881 to 1sS5-an I'M
paralleled feat in Yale football history.
