destroy practically all of the 1917 crop
in the Mission valley and in order to
get immediate and concerted action on
the part of every resident, another
meeting was held at the Round Butte
school house Wednesday evening with
every farmer in that vicinity in at
tendance and many business men from
Roman.
Joseph Cernix acted as chairman of
the meeting and it was agreed that
every land owner living between the
Flathead river east to the foot hills
would be assessed $1,000 for each forty
acres of land, whether owned or leased,
the money TO be used to purchase more
OF the poisonous mixture and that ev-
ely foot OF land possible would receive
treatment. A surveying and soliciting
committee consisting of c. Fl. Booth,
Thos Bergevin and Jos. Cernick was
appointed to inspect all lands and
ascertain where the treatment is most
needed and to collect the tax imposed
Mr.. McCourty, Albert Cannon and
Harry Anderson were appointed as a
supervising committee to oversee the
sprinkling and also that necessary pre-
cautions We're taken to prevent stock
from being damaged by the poison.
G. N. Dunning was appointed chief
mixer Of the ingredients and authoriz-
ed draft any help needed in this work.
1t was decided order at once carload of
bran, twenty barrels of molasses and
fruit and poison in proportion and as
soon as it arrives on the ground the
war will continue. Each farmer has
agreed to treat his own land and CO.
operate with all others in treating the
lieu lands.
AT the different grasshopper picnics
that have been held in all parts Of the
reservation a great deal of the poison
ed bait has been scattered on the affect
edlands and the first sprinking on the
lieu lands killed seventy-fve per cent
of the first Matching but great many
OF the hoppers were too young to take
the poison readily. However, they
have been Matching every day and in
untold numbers and are now large
enough to take the poison which should
be spread again Immediately in order to
obtain the desired results. The gen
eral opinion is that all lands viii have
to be treated at certain intervals to
XIII the hoppers as they reach the size
when they take the poison, AS an IL
lustration of the conditions in the Horte
district, +. J. White, Of the First Ma
tlonal Aank of Roman, on a trip OF in
spection Monday night, brought in
small piece of fly paper which had been
placed in a grain field that was thought
to be almost free from hoppers, and in
not more than minute four hundred
hoppers had settled on the paper. This

one thousand feet of variegated tuff

these beds is pink; below that, the
