A BOOSTER POEM IN PROSE

Tell me not in mournfur -iiumbers
that the old towns on the bum; rouse
UP from your peaceful slumbers and
come help us make things hum If we
go to work in earnest we can make
things hit high, dust thou art, to
dust returnest," is the song of by and
by. All the past has gone forever-you
can't call one moment back-and the
future may come never, this is true so
help me Mack. Now's the time to do
the boosting, do not wait tomorrow's
dawn; you may in the grave be roost-
ing, all your chance Of boosting gone.
Lay aside your little hammer, grab a
horn and toot few; squelch the kick
er's dad-burned yammer with a joyful
blast or two. Our old town is sure
pippin, and We ought to boost it big;
when We hear some growler yippin'
we should biff him on the wig. Those
who do not like our city ought to
straight-way hit the grit-boost for
the valley-that's my duty-oc arise
and straightway "git."

That unto Eve her dainty charms
proclaimed,
She went undraped without a single

Thought that she had need to be

Twas only when she'd eaten of the

That she became inclined to be a

And found that evermore she'd have
to grapple
With the much debated problem of
the nude.
Thereafter she devoted her attention
Her time and all her money to her
clothes,
And that was the beginning of Con-

And Modesty, as well, do sup

Now girls conceal so little from the

It would seem, in the name of all

Someone ought to pass the apples

Boise( Ida, June 14.-Attack on the
alfalfa weevl is being made from sew
eral different angles by the University
of Idaho extension division and ex-
pertinent station, under authority OF
the act Of 1919 legislature, which ap-
propriated $4,000 to combat pest
is placed among the worst that threat
ems the agricultural interests Of the
state.
Claude Wakeland, extension entom-
ologist, is in the southwestern part
of the state, giving demonstrations of
the method of controlling the weevil
by spraying with an arsenic solution
which is stated to be the best known
method thus far devised.
Ralph H. Smith, of the Twin Falls
entomologist substation of the uni
versity experiment station, has been
conducting an experiment in the Pay
cite valley to ascertain the possibility
of killing the weevil with an arsenic
dust, method faster than the
spray method, and one which thus far
is reported to promise excellent re-
suits.
Comes Close to Caldwell
While awaiting the outcome of this
experiment, Mr.. Smith is conducting
+ Scouting expedition" through sec
tons of the state where the weevil
thus far has not been reported, to
see if it has made its appearance. This
trip is taking him through Mountain

projects. Burnley, Rupert, into Bing-
ham county, AMI possibly elsewhere.
Mr.. Smith reports finding the weevil
all the way between Payette and EN-

about Emmett, all the way between
Caldwell and Eagle, all the way from
Star north to the sagebrush, and two
miles out from Caldwell on the Boise
Caldwell road.
