is to be made an annual event at the

The contest is open to students

of small grains. legumes, and pota-

Trophy cups will be given to the

largest reported.

Representatives employed by the
Camas county farm bureau and the
University of Idaho extension divis-
ion have found beds of g~rasshopper
eggs on 10 farms in a recent survey.
Some of the areas were small, while
others were Of good size. 1t is in
tended that all these shall be thor
oughly cultivated this fall, so as to
destroy the eggs and prevent a re-
currence of the grass!lcpper pest
which necessitated a long and expen-
sive campaign of eradication last
summer. The summers campaign is
reported to have saved 1900 bushels
of wheat in one community. 1t was
estimated by one farmer that the
county would have harvested only
one-fourth of a seasons crop if the
grasshoppers had not been fought.

check for 100000 in connection
with the sale. This check he deposit
ed in his bank. On that day he had
had lunch with his wife downtown,
and had promised her to be home to
dinner in the evening. He had at
tended to some business late that
afternoon and about 7 o'clock started
for his home, so far as is known. The
last person known to have seen him
was his favorite newsboy, from whom
Mr.. Small bought the evening papers.
The fact that Mr.. Small vas miss
ing was not made public until three or
four weeks had elapsed. In the first
week in January the first circulars
asking for information as to Mr.
Small's whereabouts were sent out by
the local police authorities, and a
reward of $500 was offered. A short
time afterward the reward was in
creased to $4,000. Then on the first
of June a reward Of $4,000 was Of
fered by Mrs. Small for information
regarding Mr.. SmalTs whereabout, If
alive, and $15,0 900 for the recovery
of his body, if dead.
The mystery of Mr.. Small's absen-
ce was accentuated by the disappear
ance of John Doughty, who had been
his private secretary for many years.
Doughty has not been seen or heard
from, so far as the authorities are
aware, since December %, 1919. In
June, 1920, the discovery was made
that $4,000 of Victory bonds were
missing from the safety deposit vault
where they had been placed by Mr..
Small, and it was stated that Dough-
ty had had access to the vault. There
upon circulars were issued offering
Sc, 700 reward for the arrest of John
Doughty on a charge of having alb
Quoted Ambrose Small, and $4,000 for
arrest on a charge Of hav-
ing stolen the missing Victory bonds.
By special Act of the Ontario legis-
lature Mr.. Small was declared an CAB,
sentee," and a trust corporation of
Ottawa, was appointed trustee Of Mr..
Small's estate.
