Distributing Bats.

The time Of day chosen for distrib-
uting the poisoned bait is important.
In Semiarid regions the bait should be
distributed in late afternoon or early
evening, just before the grasshoppers
ascend the plants on which they usual
~ pass the night. Apparently they are
hungry ana thirsty at this time and
greedily take the bait if it be avail
able. In the moister portions Of the
country, such as New England and
Florida, the bait is best applied in the
early morning.

bare hands a pair Of cheap rubber
gloves or a small wooden paddle may
be used for the purpose.
Poisoned bats are distributed over
the infested fields by sowing broad
cast, either on foot or from light
wagon or buggy. In applying the poi
soned bait in orchards, avoid distrib-
uting it close to the trees because Sc
we're injury to fruit trees occasionally
results from heavy applications of ar

Poisoned bait has proved to be a
simple, reliable and cheap method of
destroying grasshoppers. 1t is made
up as follows: Wheat bran, twenty
five pounds; paris green or crude ar
senic. one pound; lemons or oranges,
six finely chopped fruits; low-grade
molasses, such as refuse from sugar
factories. or cattle molasses, known as
"black strap" two quarts; water. two
to four gallons. The bran and poison
are thoroughly mixed while dry, the
chopped fruits are then added, and
lastly the mOlasses and water are
poured over the bait and the whole
thoroughly kneaded. A coarse-naked
bran is most desirable, although where
this cannot be obtained easily ordinary
middlings or alfalfa meal may be sub
Stituted

sIrun on MoIasses Essential.

Low grade, strong-smelling sirup or
mOlasses is essential to the entire sue
cess of the undertaking. Crushed ripe
tomatoes, watermelOns or lines may
be substituted for the lemons or or
anges, if necessary. In California and
other semiarid regions water should
be added to the bait at the rate of four
gallons TO twenty-five pounds of bran,
as in these climates the bait dries out
very rapidly and the extra moisture is
necessary in order to attract the grass
hoppers. Five to seven pounds of the
mixture should be estimated per acre.

The readers of The MESSENGER will
remember, some of them, at least.
that the editor has at times expressed
admiration,for Henry Ford, the great
automobile manufacturer. He has, we
believe, proven himself a public spirit
ed citizen whose rapid rise to wealth
and influence has not blinded him to
his obligations to his country nor spoil
ed the kindly and human qualities of
his heart. 1t may be recalled that
when his peace mission was sent abroad
this paper approved of the act and de-
Tended MIR. Ford at time when the
press of the country was very generally
ridiculing him and indulging In the
serverest expressions of censure. Moth
ing that has happened since then has
changed our attitude toward Mr.. Ford.
We still honor the impulses which
prompted him to send that mission
abroad. That it failed reflects more
strongly against the inconceivable vul-
lures he sought to conciliate on the
other side than upon anyone else. But
we cannot .indorse Mr.. Ford's candidacy
for the United States Senate. Under
most favoring circumstances he has
risen to eminence in the automo-
bile industry within short period
of time. Prior to his start in this in
dustry, which occurred when he was of
middle age, he had not distinguished
himself in any way. Then why may
we assume that he has the qualities
which would render him especially use-
full in the realm of craftsmanship?
Craftsmanship is a matter of growth,
a matter of practice, learned profess
sion If we may assume that Mr.. Ford
would make great statesman, then
we shall be equally justified in assum-
ing that the government would be wise
in turning the direction of the great
ship building plants over to lawyer or
the management of cannon factory to
a clergyman. Mr.. Ford can he of
great service to the government, in
deed we believe he has already been so,
but common sense would indicate that
this service should continue to be with
in the realm OF, technicalities of which
he is an acknowledged master. Mich
igan has men in congress, men of expert
ence in affairs of state, men of undoubt-
ed patriotism, men whose every official
act since war started has shown them
above mere partisan influence, and it is
from among such as these that sound
logic indicates we should choose our
United States senator.

In these times of national peril every
public knocker against the government
is consciously or unconsciously aiding his
country's foes, who in the present in
stance are also the foes of liberty, de-
cency, humanity and civilization. If a
man thinks he should enjoy living with
out these elements of existence, which
now surround him, he may consistently
be knocker. If you think your gov
eminent or any of its administrative
agents are mistaken in their policies it
is indeed your privilege and your duty
to say so, or better still, and more to
the point, to write your representative
in congress and get his views and as
sistance. But in all your talk never let
anyone remain in doubt of the fact that
you are with the government with your
man power, your money power and all
your power in the fight against the Hun.
If you were farmer and flood
promised to deluge your farm you would
not be too particular where you got the
materials to stem the tide. With that
all important duty performed you might
then go back and give due attention to
the details of correct farming. That is
precisely the position of the govern
ment. 1t has present, a mighty, a
pressing and dangerous situation to
cope with. 1t is attempting, and with
most wonderful success, to do in year
what its adversaries have spent forty
years in preparing to do. 1t is newt
able there should be mistakes, but if
the balance of all its efforts is on the
side of success we should at least be
patient and helpfully loyal.

STEELTON
Borough Water Is Pure,
According to Statement

Members of the borough water
board to-day issued a statement in
order to Offset an impression that
the supply of filtered water is not
what it should be under normal
conditions. The rumor got into
circulation when Steelton furnish
ed Harrisburg with water during
the famine. During the time Steel
ton was giving water to the city
residents of Harrisburg were re-
quested to boil the water before us-
ing. This has led many Steelton
residents to believe that the water
it not pure.
The statement is as follows La
boratory tests show the quality of
the water to be above the standard
set by the Treasury Department Of
the United States which is the stand
ard set for quality of water used by
interstate carriers Grains and steam
boats).
This standard is the only stand
ard having official sanction and
force in use in the United States to-
day and was set as explained he
low.
This standard was the result OF
work done by the United States

teriologists in conjunction with ci-
villains, chemists and bacteriologists
