SPECIAL POINTERS ON
SAVING CROPS FROM
CRASSH0PPERS

In the fight against the hopper pest
in North Dakota it has been found
that if four or five burrows are plow-
ed around the fields it has great re-
tardolg effect on the hoppers, as they
do not appear to want to cross this
black soil and when their wings are
developed they will in most instances
fly ove4 the field entirely.
Another method was used in con-
nection With this plowing which has
been found still more effective and
that is to nAw down the grain around
the edges Oh the field for one, two
or three rods, allow the moved grain
to dry and then, set fire to it and the
hOppers will not cross this burned
ground as they are apparently averse
to ashes or burned ground.
Also burn ali the tumbline mustard
and Russian thistles that are piled up.
To all Of you who are bothered with
hoppers ! would advise You to follow
the above instruction wherever pree-
ticable, and in burning the dried grain
and thistles, be sure to do this after
it IL drak as the hoppers will than
jump into the fire instead Of away
from It as they are doing in the day-
light.
I have great hopes that with the CO.
operation Of the people Of this Coun-
ty. we will bs able 70 check II not eoap.

President 1T $50 tonight by the De-

sinee eleven this morning the build
ing had been packed with delegates
and visitors drawn in the biggest
numbers yet recorded to head speech
es offering Palmer, Owen, Smith,
Cox and others in nomination. Ma
chine-made demonstration of half an
hour or more each followed the NAM
ing of Cox and Palmer. Then came
the dreary seconding speeches, each
of the aspirants having a woman in
its list of oratorical boosters. All
this time the real leaders of tine con-
vention, headed by Postmaster Gen
eTal Burleson, were busy in quiet
rooms elsewhere putting the finishing
touches on the platform and greasing
the slips for perpetuation of the
Wilson blood and faction in control
of the United States.
By $50 the packed auditorium was
weary listening to forced speeches in
favor of men whom it felt would new
eF be nominated, and impatiently
waiting for the McAdoo mask to fall.
Then tie acting chairman introduced
Barris jenkins, preacher who was
born in Virginia and now lives in
Kansas.
A scream of joy and relief went
up from the tired play factors on the
convention floor. If jenkins had been
the Democratic candidate the day af-
ter a victorious election he would not
have got a gladder hand. The crowd
saw in him the mouEhpiece of the
Borleson McAdoo Baruch Tumulty
machine and knew that a real utter
anee was about to be heard.
Preacher jenkins waited for the
tnmok to sabside. The crowd soou
