the seventh grade OF the Darby
school read an article to her pupils
on the Black forest of Germany
and exhibited picture Of the same,

The torch was applied to a pow

CHILDREN ENLISTED
IN WAR ON INSECTS
Flathead Youngsters Will
Dig for Grasshopper
Egg Deposits.
SITUATION NOT BAD
Insects Found by County
Agent Campbell Were of
the Harmless Variety.

All rules of civilized warfare will be
forgotten in the war which school chill
dren in communities on the F'lathcad
reservation began yesterday. Prussian
ruthlessness will be outdone In des-
perate effort to exterminate their foe.
the young warriors will destroy even
the coming generations.
Armed with spades the school chill
dren are to dig around fence posts in
the wheat fields for grasshopper eggs.
BY crushing as many egg deposits as
possible before hot weather comes the
children hope to be able to avert in a
large measure the grasshopper plague
which threatens F-lathead farmers this
year.
The children were trained for this
war by J. r. Campbell, county agri-
culturist, and H. c. Seamons. entomol-
returned yesterday from trip through
the reservation country. The two men
went to the F'athead to investigate re-
ports that grasshoppers had appeared
there.
No Hoppers Found.
No hoppers Of dangerous sort were
found. Mr.. Campbell said yesterday.
The creatures which did great damage
on the reservation last fall do not hi
bernate. but lay eggs in the ground.
These eggs have not yet Matched.
The only mature hoppers found by the
investigators were of a alternating,
harmless kind.
The grain destroying grasshoppers
will appear with the first warm wealth
err. however To encourage the de-
struction of eggs the two men dug up
several deposits and showed them to
children in all the schools, instructing
them at the same time how to find
and ruin the eggs.
Next week. by which time the grass :
hoppers probably will have begun tc
appear, Mr.. Campbell and Mrs. Sea :
mons will return and give lectures on
rrasshopper poisoning at Moiese
Round Butte and DAste.
At DAste. Mr. Campbell said yes
terday, the situation is worse than a
Round Butte, where trouble was eX
pected to be greatest.

MEAT PRICES TO

Although the prices being paid

Heide OF Chicago, manager of the
international Livestock exposition,

He declined to make an estimate
Iof how high prices will go. He de-

ed If the price Of hogs goes beyond
$15 a hundred pounds within the
next few months. The packers will
be paying a correspondent high
price for cattle and sheep, he says.
mo one can calculate how much
money is pouring into Iowa, owing
to the high prices for grain and live
stock" said Mr.. Heide.
"The Iowa farmer will have more
money to spend than he ever had
before in his life. Fortunes will be
made. The high prices being paid
for cattle and hogs interest Iowa be-
cause this state is the largest pro-
ducer of cattle and hogs in the Unit
ed States.
1.-THE prices are tending upward
and will probably continue in that
direction for the reason that the de-
mand in this country is exceeding the
supply and the amount of meat being
sent broad at this time helps to make
the price go still higher.
"The farmers of Iowa should give
more attention to sheep.
Every Iowa farm should have 6
small flock of sheep. The people o!
this country are beginning to like
mutton. The demand is good. Iowa
