HOW KANSAS FOUGHT HopPERs

1t is estimated that Kansas farm
ers last year saved about s5.000,0O0
on wheat and alfalfa as result of
grasshopper poisoning. a large part
of which was due to a campaign be-
gun last spring through the cooper
ative efforts of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, State Agri-
cultural College, and local county ag-
ents. A grasshopper-egg survey,
made in the spring, showed that they
were present in sufficient numbers to
make necessary a summer campaign
against the hoppers. Plans were
made Immediately to carry on this
YORK through meetings to demon
strate poisoning, personal farm Wis
its for individual demonstrations, and
by appropriate window displays In
towns. close watch of the grass
! hopper situation was kept through
out the entire season and in the fall
S the poisoning campaign was contin-
. ned and the disking Of land to des-
: troy eggs was advocated also. >-.-
$ teach the advisability of the latter.
demonstrations were held in the field
a where patches of grass were dug up
and the grasshopper eggs which they
e contained were shown to farmers.
" Then the field or fence row was disk
ed to show how the eggs were de-
stroyed. Fifty-one such demonstrs-
Il tions with an attendance of 1858
were held In many counties both
c bran and poison were bought coop.
y eratively and distributed to farmers
through the farm bureau organiza
L tions. Each one getting the mater
t. ials received directions for mixinl
re and applying them.

PLENTY OF WORK ON
FARMS FOR THE BOYS

Boise. Idaho. january 27. 1919.
To the Idaho Farmer:
year ago we were confronted
with a problem which made us all
guess We we're told that we must
produce more food-and our best
men were being taken away. Some
OF us wanted to "quit" because we
thought the task impossible and II
surely Is a pleasure to look back and
see how nicely we did our job. The
American farmer won victory on
the American farm while the Ameri-
can army was winning a battle for
America on European sell. But. the
farmer was wonderfully paid for his
extra effort and hard work while the
soldier, who worked harder. incurred
hardships and fought and bled for
humanity has nothing but honor to
show for his great effort and sacri-
fee
Soldiers are beings rapidly return
ed at a most inopportune time. for
we have our usual winter surplus OF
men Many states have industries TO
absorb their soldiers but our indus
try is farming and most OF us don't
work at II during the winter months.
Something must be done for these
boys OF. ours. who left their farms or
Jobs in answer to the call OF duty
because they are coming home and
they are broke and most every posi-
tion is filed Our industry is farm
ing These men have a right to look
TO Idaho's big industry for livli-
hood. Some have suggested giving
or lending them money to tide" them
over until spring: but these men are
Americas best and they do not want
alms-they want work.
And many OF you are saying. But
we haven't a thing for a man TO do
do now" Just a mmute-take an
other stroll around the place. Look
at those fencesl Isn't Il a good time
to fix that barn? How much would
the lumber cost for shed for that
machinery? Couldn't fellow paint
these days? That pile of manure
won't do you any good there by the
barn. And say. you're going TO be
busy next summer--why not go over
that hhthihtiy anu kftaHt u ap anu
tighten the nuts--it may save lot
of time and trouble and cussfng.
The Idaho farmer has done his
part we'll He has produced an enor-
nous crop OF food. when the world
needed IT. He has bought Liberty
Bonds and war Savings Stamps and
has given to every worthy organiza'
ton. But his war duty is not yet
done and Will not be done as long al
returning soldier wants job. Yes
you've been thinking about IT but
have you told the chairman of your

 Knapp was well known to some of the residents of the district because of his periodical rent-collecting tours. The police began investigation on the theory that he was followed by some one who was familiar with his busi- ness in the district and who suspected that Knapp had a large amount of money paid to him by his tenants.
 It was about noon yesterday when frequenters of the saloon of Pietro MaTari, at Bedford and Commerce street saw Knapp enter and use the telephone there. The place is a block from the store owned by Knapp at 80 Bedford street Knapp telephoned to the Myers Plate Glass and Window Company 1S1 Lafayette street, say ing he had found new tenant and wanted a man sent to remove the morrors that had been in use when his store was a saloon He said he would go to the store and await the arrival of the workmen
