bushels per acre from 1876 acres OF
white hybrid, No. 143. He had As
acres that averaged As bushels per
acre, this land having produced two
crops of peas in the past two years.

of summer following. His Blue Prus-
sian peas averaged about six sacks
per acre. Tom Grow, whose farm lies
west of Moscow. has 500 acres of fall
wheat that is said to be averaging
close to 40 bushels per acre. Gilbert

GRASSHOPPERS BAD
IN LEWIS COUNTY
PESTS EATING GARDENS AND
POTATO TOPS-CAMPAIGN
OF POISONING STARTS
(Nezperce Herald.)

AS an ex-Kansan CROPPED his way
into store from out cloud of grass
hoppers, on our Main street last Mon
day, he brushed big tear from his
cheek and blurted out, "This makes me
homesick." He had seen hoppers thick
er in the old Joyhawker state than
they are here this week, but not so
healthy and vigorous as our variety.
Last week the vanguard of the army
of these pests, which is sweeping
camp in and around Nezperce and
since then their principal ration has
been the local potato patches. 1t is
said they are looking for green vege-
tation generally, but have an especial
craving for the green potato tops.
Some patches they have visited have
nothing left to indicate that spuds
grew there except the main stems OF
the plants.
Last Sunday a citizen went to his
poultry yard to catch chicken for
dinner and took handful of wheat
along to coax the birds up where he
could easily pick out choice speci-
men. The chickens were so full of
grasshoppers they paid no attention
to the wheat.
A nearby farmer, who drives car
that has a way of collecting an un-
usual number of hoppers as it passes
through the clouds of them, said he
had an old turkey gobbler at home
which had formed the habit of watch
ing for the arrival of the car, when
he would loaf around it until he had
accumulated square meal, then he
would go off and stand all bumped
up in the shade of a tree until the
car made another trip, and the per-
formance would be repeated
Local fishermen, who have recent +
y tried their luck in Lawyers creek,
say it is time wasted-they can't
even get a strike. The trout are
gorged on hoppers.
Aside from the gardens, there is
title immediate damage the grass
lopers can do to the crops in this
section, but the outlook is bad for
lext season, especially if it happens
% continue dry. However, County
Agent Wade informs us that the little
white worm which preys on grasshop-
,ers and their eggs has been found
,revelant here, and it is hoped that
his parasite will assist largely in ex-
the scourge. This little
worm comes from the egg of GER
ain kind of fly, which egg is de-
,osited in the body of the hoppers,
md on Matching the worm consumes
he internal economy of and kills the
destructive insect.
Furthermore, at last Tuesdays

STEEL SITUATION REMAINS ADAMANT
Both Sides Apparently Waiting For Other to Make New Move Company Officials Say Men Will Resume Work Monday.

Chief developments on the fifth day of the great steel strike were:
 1. Definition of the strike issue as the right of employees Ito be heard, to organize and to have some voice in determining conditions under which they labor," made by Samuel Comp CTS, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, before the Senate labor committee in Washington.
 2. Calling of a meeting of the strikers national committee in Pitts burgh today to make final arrange ments for the strike of 35,000 em- ployees of the Bethlehem Steel Com pany set for Monday.
 3. Announcement that Johno D. Rockefeller, Jr., principal owner of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, will take no part in the strike of 5000 workers at the Pueblo plant.
 4. Claim by union officials that workers in the Youngstown district, at meeting held to vote on the ques- l tion of returning to work, had de cided against such move.
 5. Condemnation of foreign agi- tators' and commendation of Sheriff Wm. Paddock, of Allegheny county by coroner's jury in Pittsburgh, which returned verdict of "death of gunshot wounds inflicted by persons unknown, while an attack was being made on deputy sheriffs during 3 riot" in the case of a woman organ izer and striker, whom the steel workers claimed had been murdered at West Natrona, Pa.
 6. Apparent deadlock, marked by lack of violence, apparently prevail ing in the chief steel centers. l Pittsburgh, Sept 26.--At the close of the fifth day of the steel workers strike found each side in the great industrial struggle apparently wait ing for the other to make the nex1 move. There were no. noticeable changes and from information glean ed from the headquarters of the strik ers' national committee and from th' offices of the larger steel companiel in the Pittsburgh district no materia developments are expected befor' Monday.
 Representatives of several larg corporations, including the Carnegi Steel Company, let it be known tha they look for big influx of me when the whistles blow Monda, morning. It was contended by ther that the strikers would then hay had a week of idleness and findin that large number of men are sti at work and their own funds gettin
 low, thousands would change thei minds and seek their old jobs. Assurances by police authoritie and company officials, it was als Ipointed out, would have an influenc on strikers who are favorable to rs
 turning to work.

COMPERS DEFINES
 ISSUES OF STRIKE
Declares Employees Want a Voice in Determining Work ing Conditions-Judge Gary is Blamed.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The issue in the nationwide steel strike was defined today by Samuel Gompers president of the American Federation of Labor, as recognition of the right of employees ito be heard, to organ ize and to have some voice in deter mining conditions under which they labor"
 Appearing as labor's second wit ness in the Senate labor committees investigation of the steel strike, Pres ident Gompers drew from his exper- fence as chairman of the first com mittee to organize the steel industry and traced the history of organized labor's effort to unionize the steel workers. When he finished the com mittee adjourned until next Wednes- day, at which time Judge Gary, chair man of the United States Steel cor poration, has promised to appear
 President Gompers condemned un- sparingly civil authorities in the wes- tern Pennsylvania steel centers and repeated many of the charges made before the committee yesterday by John Fitzpatrick, chairman of the strikers committee.
 Full responsibility for the strike he laid at the door of Judge Gary, who could have stopped it, he said, by granting conference to the strike committee.
 Counter charges against the steel workers, involving the revolutionary radicalism of Wm. z. Foster, strike committee secretary, in particular, was met by Gompers with the asser- tion that Foster no longer was a syndicalist or believer in violence.
 There were several interludes, once when Senator Phipps, Republi- can of Colorado, read statements of President Wilson, made in 1909, to the effect that he was "a fierce parti- san of the open shop" which brought a quick assertion from Gompers that President Wilson now does not hold with what Doctor Wilson then said" :"
 Senator Sterling, Republican, of South Dakota, at another point, read some steel company statistics, in reference to greatly increased pay of workmen during recent years, and efforts made by the company to place it's stock among employees. In reply, the labor chief said that the company had increased it's earnings 400 per cent while increasing workmen's pay 100 per cent and that it's stock selling enterprises "were attempts to tie the men to the jobs"
