Dandellons can be eradicated from
the lawn alright-provided there are
seventeen members OF the family
willing to spend all of their spare
time on the Job. The only alternative
heard OF comes from the state college
Mt Brookings. and that is that blue
grass will kill out the dandelions if
allowed to go to seed. The yellow
pest gets his foothold in the closely

Plea For Prairie Chicken
To Destroy Grasshopper

st. Lawrence, May 2S.-Would it not
be a good idea in these days of food
shortage to give our native birds every
protection possible.
Take the prairie chicken for in
stance This bird lives in the fields
and eats injurious insects. They eat
some grain but they also eat large
numbers of grasshoppers and crickets.
Grasshoppers did much damage in our
fields last year, and no doubt there
will be plenty Of them this year.
Prairie chickens are less Plentiful
than they used to be, and we should
amend our game laws by making it
unlawful to kill any more OF these
beautiful and useful birds.
