GRAssHOPPERS

A number of inquiries in regard to
grasshoppers have come to the county
agents office during the last two
weeks and the appearance of the pests
this spring has caused great deal
of excitement and worry.
We have consulted the state exten-
sion Entomologist and gathered in
formation from all the cources we can
think of and we are not much wiser
so far as whether or not the grass
hoppers will hatch in large enough
numbers to do q great deal Of dam
age.
However there are some established
facts which may help US to come to
conclusion in regard to plans for a
campaign against them should they
come.
There are enough eggs in the ground
in good condition to destroy large
percentage of this years crop should
weather conditions be favorable for
Matching and the growth Of the young
grasshopper. Assuming that weather
conditions are favorable, our expert
enee from last year taught US that
the eggs will start to hatch as soon as
the frost gets out Of the ground, and
the sun warns the ground. AS we
found last year, they will not hatch
all at the same time but develop first
in the parts of the country where the
soil is lightest and will warm up
quickest.
Favorable weather condition for
Matching and growth Of the young
grasshoppers is of course, dry, warm
weather. Cold wet rains during the
season when the eggs are Matching
will tend to drown the young hop
pers just out of the egg. Any amount
of freezing during dry weather will
not kill them.
The hopper that we find now did not
hatch this spring, but came out of
the eggs last fall shortly before the
heavy snow in November and lay dor
mant under the snow over the winter.
These hoppers are mostly Of one va
riety, and this variety did very little
of the damage which was done last
year. Very probably all Of the eggs
from this variety hatched last fall
and they are not numerous enough
to do great deal Of damage.
II weather conditions are favor
able there is little room for doubt In
regard 70 the grasshopper situation.
They will be with US in large num-
bers. We would advise the farmers
to do all the spring plowing that he
can and follow with harrow. This
will eradicate the hoppers from that
particular piece of ground. However,
thsee will be numerous grasshoppers
from the roadsides, fence rows and
uncultivated land adjacent to the cul-
tivated fields. These we must watch
and put out poison bait to kill them.
Most farmers are familiar with the
methods Of eradication using the poi
son bait. Ward county is now making
preparations to carry on q campaign
should it be necessary. This, how
ever, cannot be successful without an
efficient organization and the fullest
cooperation Of the farmers. Every

Stevens Chimney Corner, April s.
Easter Monday, 1920
Dear Fellow Workers:
Who are still in the Battle of Life
yoU were promised a Word Of Cheer
That was the slogan Of the president
of this department, our able and
worthy friend, Miss Sara Guss and
adopted it.
But opinions may differ as to wha
is CHEEKY; cheering you on to nobler,
better work. However, Pew may talk
back to pulpit after get through.
Anyhow when Major General Leon
ard Wood addressed great company
of teachers, recently in South Dakota
I believe he began with, "You are a
great underpaid, high-souled body of
workers." and somebody near by said
under his breath, "He means high
heeled, doesn't he?" Well, maybe;
anyhow | want you to stand high in
the world and to stay there, so that
the community may look up to you
and may continue to do so.
But to keep yourself high-souled,
and we won't spell it "S-o-l-e-d," but
as General Wood meant it SOULED-
you must keep yourself, pure in heart.
Yes, my creed is just what the Poet
Burns said, Perhaps it may turn out
a song, perhaps a sermon" His
poems are usually both.
To thine own self be true, thou cans't
not then be false to any man. Let me
illustrate-last year county seat
near us needed City Superintendent
and found one in county seat not so
far across country where the COM
munity found it best to consolidate.
They had two good men but had to
let one go. The seeking school board
sent over their chairman, an able
banker formerly a school master, and
he came back pleased. The man he
had interviewed came over to view
the land, was pleased, signed the
contract.
Mark the sequel, which is my reas-
on for telling you. About ten days
before the school opened this man
sent letter asking to be freed from
his contract, he had something better
in view. Had he been seeking such ?
What Of the Good Books injunction
as to the "man who sweareth to his
hurt and changeth not?" or will he
rather have the English King whose
word no man relied on, who never
said a stupid thing and never a wise
enc?
The school board felt that while
they did not like to hinder teacher
bettering himself, yet if they let him
60 they did not know where to pick
up another good superintendent at
such short notice and they wired,
"No." Then my lord wired back from
Montana, 81 won't come, I am already
ct work here. I can't afford to come
back to North Dakota"

- EMILE women have always ap-
~ preciated all the little subtle
touches that are the essentials of good
dressing. In days gone by our grand
mothers learned the art of embroidery
and occupied many hours of their time
doing painstaking and beautiful work
ON their belongings. They replenlshed
their store of undermuslins with
dainty handmade pieces, adding re-
nnements to them in embroidery and
other stitching. Underwear of fine
cottOns, decorated with exquisite EN-
broiderles. is as much admired ms
ever. but most of 1t is made in other
lands than ours.

less dainty but they have become

making them and ribbons have re-

here reflect the mode In luxurious and
