PLAN ACTIVE WAR ON PESTS
West Indian Sugar Planters Seek Aid
of the Lizard and Species
of Fungus Growth.

Lizard farming and fungus cultlva-
tion are means adopted in the West
Indies to protect the sugar industry.
1t has been discovered that the frog
hopper (Thomaspis sacharina), So
called on account of its great leaping
powers, is the greatest pest Of the
sugar cane, and that 1t multiplies by
thousands on single plants. sucking
the sap from roots and leaves. In the
last three or four years two remedies
have been developed. f. w. Urlch,
a West Indian entomologist, has DEM
onstrated that lizards devious great
quantities of the immature hoppers,
and J. B. Rorer, United States my
cologist, has shown that spores of the
fungus known as "green muscarGine"
are peculiarly fatal to the adults. AS
part Of the work to save the cane,
war has been begun in Trinidad, where
the investigation has been made,
against the rapacious mongOos, which
has made lizards scarce. In addition,
hundreds Of lizards are collected in
protective enclosure, and are encour-
aged to multiply under favorlng condl-
tions Of sand banks for burrows, with
an abundance Of food and water. The
fungus is grown in test-tube cabinets,
which produce spores that are busted
over the cane fields by special dlstrib-
uting machines.

To Warm Room Evenly.

The temperature Of heated room

temperature, 1t Is necessary for the
air to be In circulation. This may be
accomplished with an electric fan, but
to prevent any unnecessary draughts,
the blast from the fan should be con.

In one corner Of the room In such

a cardboard tube about six inches In

NO FINER GRAVE FOR MAN
THAN FRANCE BATTLEFIELD

East Oregonian: Dell Blancett's
grave is in the battlefield of France
and before he died he did Consider
able execution" on the foe, according
to word received by j. R. Raley from
Major P. S. Torrance commanding the
squadron to which the former Round
Up star belonged. The majors letter,
highly interesting in its details follows:
France, May 2Ist. 1918.
"My dear Mr. Raley:
unfortunately there was no error
in the report of the death of Pvt.
BIancett and YOUR letter of 22nd April
was opened by the writer.
~ can readily understand the desire
for full particulars of his death since
it is certain that he must have been a
very popular man wherever he went.
He was only with US a short time but
was loved by all and was an exception
ally good soldier.
"On the 30th of March the Brigade
became engaged In an operation the
success of which earned for it the per-
sonal thanks of the c. in C. and this
Regt. took the leading part. The
enemy had forced way into large
wood On a prominent hill which we
undertotk k to clear and this we did both
mounted and dismounted. Blancett
was with the dismounted party which
pushed through the wood while the
others galloped around it. On reach
ing the farther side it became neces-
sary to consolidate and it was while
this digging in was being done (about
noon) that he was shot through the
stomach by German sniper, but not
beforeehe (Blancett, had done con-
siderable execution to them with his
rifle from behind tree. Some of the
men went to him and he said: "These
German bullets sure hit hard well,
boys, there's little change in my
jeans which you'd better divide up be-
tween you" He died few minutes
later quite cheerfully and without
suffering.
"The fighting was very intense dur
ing the day and at night when the
Regt. was relieved it was impossible
to bring out any but the wounded.
There is, however, no finer grave
for man today than the battle field of
France. Yours very sincerely,
