GRAZING EXPERIMENTS
FOR CONTROL OF APHIS
Field Entomologist Ralph H. Smith
Plans Series of Experiments.

Stationed at Twin Falls by the
University OF Idaho, Field Entomolo-
gist Ralph IL. Smith has planned a
series OF experiments to determine
the effect of fall and winter grazing
In controlling aphis In red and al
sike clover
In a recent communication to the
director OF the Idaho experiment sta
ton, Mr.. Smith states that in testing
the effect of grazing on clover he
plans to take single field of red
clover and another OF alsike and de-
vide each into three parts. One part
of each field will not be grazed at all,
one part will be grazed moderately
close and the third part extremely
close. Mr.. Smith feels that this ex-
pertinent is of very great Importance
since the grazing treatment seems
one Of the most promising methods
for control OF the aphis.
Another line of experimental work
with aphis planned through the Twin
Falls substation by Mr.. Smith, is a
series OF tests of the effectiveness of
lime sulphur in destroying the eggs
OF the clover aphis on apple trees.

CARING FOR THOSE

Because of her continued absence

in rather an undesirable neighborhOod

teacher recently brought to the atten-
tion of the Home Service department
of the Red Cross the story OF II girl of
ten years whose mother was in and
whose only other relatives were two
brothers. one in camp and the other a
youth of seventeen whose earnings
seemed to be the only means OF sup
port for the family.
'fhe Home Service worker called,
found the mother very IN and needing
hospital care ut once. Arrangements
were made for the mothers care and
also for a home for the girl In the
country where she would receive real
home training and love. The mother
grew worse and died soon afterwards.
The seVenteen-year-old boy enlisted.
The boy in camp had not known that
his mother needed his help. but was
glad TO contribute from his pay when
the true circumstances were made
known. The girl is now in the coun
try. going TO school. and is receiving
allotments from both of her brothers
and is well cared for. She is under
the watchfui care of the Home Service
workers and comes 10 them often for

TO BOOST GRAZING FEES.
Rate for Forests in 1919 VIII Be
Double That in 1910.


Double That i'm 1916.
Washington.-Graz fees in all
national forests will be advanced
about 65 per cent next year over the
rates charged in 1917 and 1918 and
Will be exactly double the rates that
were in force in and prior to 1916.
Announcement to this effect was
made Saturday by the secretary OF
agriculture who simultaneously an
nounced that beginning next season
five year grazing permits will tie is
sued where desired b,- stockmen and
where conditions permit.
Under the new schedule. grazing
fees are to lie based on cattle rates,
which will vary from s cents TO $3.50
per head for year. Long period in
Utah. Idaho. Wyoming and Montana
rate on cattle for full year will
range from 81 to S1.2O.
The rates for sheep and goats will
be 25 per cent of the rate for cattle:
horses will be 20 per cent more than
cattle. and the swine rate will be rs
per cent OF the cattle rate.
The old method of computing pro-
portionate charges for grazing dur
Ing only part OF each year will be
followed namely. 10 per cent of the
yearly rate for each month.
Emil Grandjean. supervisor of the
United States forest service. said
Saturday night that the advance in
grazing fees is due TO the fact that
the government forests have not been
paying the bare expenses of their
care and that the proposed rates will
more than equal the state and pri-
vate rates as charged stockraisers.
