Prince Was Reported

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.-Through
official information not heretofore
available it has been learned that lasi
summer when an apparently reliable re
port came from Holland that the former
German Grown Prince had escaped from
his island intcrnment at Weringen the
Supreme Council precipitately de
manded that former Emperor William
be turned over to the Entente powers.
me demand was embodied in a note
sent to the Dutc'i government.
The reply of the Dutch government
was polite statement that the report
of the escape of the Crown Prince was
erroneous and that every precs} }ution
was being taken to prevent such an
issue. The official information. avail
able to-day, is that there was no at-
tempt by the Dutch to answer the de-
mand otherwise, so the probable action
Of The Hague authorities in case such
demand is pressed can only be in
ferred.

Will hand a letter to them agreeing
to reduce their demands to 100000 if
the total available tonnage has been

WET LANDS ARE PRODUCTIVE
Most Fertile When Soil Moisture Is
Properly Controlled-Drainage
Is Recommended.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Wet areas in cultivated farm lands
usually are the most fertile when the
soil moisture is properly controlled, be-
cause generally they are depressions
in which more or less of the richest
soil from surrounding fields has been
washed. Farm drainage transfers
these unproduct've places into highly
productive land thus increasing the
profitable area and the acre yield
while removing bstacles that increase
the time and eff Jrt required for farm
operations.
Recognizing I e Importance of this
possible conserN alton of man power,
the drainage div Siun of the bureau of
public roads re' entity has given first
consideration to projects looking to the
Improvement of lands already under
some degree of cultivation or needing
only drainage to prepare them for the

be opened and the accumulated grass
hOppers shoveled out as needed.
Horses are hitched to the extended
beam, one at each end, and the catcher
dragged through the infested area, be-
ginning at the sides and working to-
ward the center of the field. Two boys,
each riding horse, can handle the
machine nicely. A heavy rope attached
to the names, so that 1t drags q few
feet in front of the shield, is an nd
vantage in that it stirs up, just before
the catcher passes, the hoppers not
otherwise disturbed.
Flowing Infested Fields
Where ii Is not practical to pillow in
tested fields, such as ground in clover
or alfalfa, they should be thoroughly
disked in the fall or winter and har-
rowed early in March of the following
year. In Indiana clover and alfalfa
fields are among the best breeding
places for grasshoppers.
The poisoned bait recommended con-
sists of bran or sawdust made tasty
and attractive by the addition of mo-
lasses and fruit and treated with an
arsenical poison. The following for
mula is recommended:
Bran (half-and-half bran and hard
wood sawdust, or sawdust alone), .25
pounds; paris green or crude arsenious
oxide, one pound, or white arsenic, 1 "
pounds; molasses (cheap feeding
grade), two quarts; lemons, bananas
cheap lemon extract water, about two
to four gallons.
The poison should be Thoroughly
mixed with the bran. The water, mo-
!!;a,ss:s:eS ard finely chopped fruit or ex.
,t..aact are then mixed and added. The
mixture should be wet so that it moidS
in the hands, but is not "soppy." The
bait should be scattered broadcast al
the rate of seven to ten pounds to the
acre, applications being made in the
early morning.
In clover or alfalfa NUN material
and labor can be saved by first cutting
around the field until there remains a
small central uncut area where the
grasshoppers will have gathered and
may be quickly and cheaply destroyed
by the poisoned bait. If the grasshop-
pers are feeding in corn or young trees,
more water, or, better, more molasses
and water, should be added and the
mixture thrown forcefully SO that the
particles will adhere to the crops to be
protected.

There are going to be lots Of grass
hOppers during the summer of 1919 in

their appearance they can be destroyed
by the common poisoned bait method.
But there is another way of getting
rid Of grasshoppers that makes the
pests pay for the trouble of killing or
catching them. This method consists
OF driving grasshOpper catcher
through an infested field, catching all
the grasshoppers that hop, and then
feeding the insects to chickens. They
can be dumped into sacks and hung up
to dry and fed as dry grasshoppers, or

An analysis Of grasshoppers shows
them to be high in protein, and there

that chickens are more productive
when insects are part of their ration

How 10 Make Grasshopper Catcher.
The grasshopper catcher, which has
an advantage over the old style hop
perdoZer, in that the insects can be
utilized for chicken feed, is about 16
feet long with an upright but curved
piece of tin in front and so arranged
that the grasshoppers will strike it as
they hop up, falling to the bottom and
back through narrow trap opening
into n box behind. The tin front does
not extend quite to the bottom, where,
just in front of the tin shield, is strip
of tin placed so that there is an open
ing about ~ or 2 inches wide. This
front strip or lip may be made by using
16foot length of gutter, one side of
which is flattened outward. The back

MORE POLITICAL TINKERING.

Now that certain different boards,
figure they have the railroads, tel
ephone and telegraph. express, ship
ping and other industries we'll on
the way toward final government
ownership, they are turning their
hand to insurance and an enlarge
ment of the present soldiers insur-
ance system.
One bureau is already proposing
to take certain lines of insurance
out of private hands and make a
monopoly of these branches in the
hands of the Farm Loan Board.
The theory is that the Farm
Loan Board could add the simple"
proposition of insurance on all farm
properties seeking government loans
without any expense. Since when
have government officials worked
for nothing. Naturally taxes, licen-
ses, etc. would be done away with
which the private companies now
pay to support the government but
somebody else would have to dig it
up
The department of labor rec
ommends community insurance"
to .supersede profit seeking COM
petitive insurance" OF course any
politician can run the insurance
business, for the people can always
be taxed to make up losses
The fact that the rail road ad-
ministration raised rates twice as
much as the private companies ev-
er asked in addition to cutting SER
vice seems to have no bearing upon
insurance. Oh no., the men In
charge of the insurance would be
smarter than the railroad officials.
Contrasted with the greatly in
creased railroad rates, the insurance
industry has been able to pull thru
the war emergency with only 10
per cent temporary surcnarge.
With the evidence we have to go
by it's poor time to further kill
private industry with political tin
kering.
