BRIGHT LIGHTS IF CITY DRAW PLAGUE
 IF GRASSHOPPERG

Although in the past Phoenix has made no effort to hide it's light under bushel, yet there is possibility dur ing the next few days that its lights will be literally blanketed under bushels of grasshoppers.
 The hoppers are here. Here. there and everywhere. This announcement IS not necessary to call attention to that fact. They arrived uninvited. and all will agree they have outstayed their welcome. But the more inquisitive persons will not be contented with the mere fact of the presence Of the pests: he will want to know how come2"
 great many people are of the opinion that the grasshoppers are here for some nefarious purpose. But this is not true. These hoppers are the harm less kind and they are here on 9 harm less errand. It is only a longing to be where the lights are brightest that makes them the guests of the city at present.
 And who can blame them? They were born and raised in the country and therefore have a natural longing to taste the joys of city life. So, hay ing reached the age of maturity, but not or reason, they pick up their heels Tor many, many thousands Of them are killed every hour under the feet of the multitude and the wheels of the cars.
 The visit of the pests will last but few days longer. chronological experts declare, so there is hope that the pub lie temper will not be thoroughly ruined before that time.
 'sThe real menace from grasshop- pers," said State Entomologist Don C. Mote yesterday, "is not Of the variety we see Hooking to the lights Of this city. These hoppers are spectacular and nothing worse. It is from the melanopus differentialis that the dan ger to crops comes. Much damage 10 the alfalfa and cotton crops are caused by these insects, which are 2 variety of grasshopper. and it is only through the strictest care and vigilance on the part of the farmers and the entomologf- cal department that prevents them from ruining many fields. As it is there are always a number of farmers who fail to take the proper measures each year and whose alfalfa is stripped of its leaves.
 MT. Mote inspected number of al- falfa fields yesterday and found many young grasshoppers in some of them. They will soon reach maturity and play

havoc with the crops if not kept g subiection. he stated
 The method the chronological de- partment has advised farmers to usr in combating the insects is to nov their alfalfa field from the outside tO the center, leaving a narrow strip through the middle of the field. The insects will be driven to the center or the field by the moving machine as fL progresses and will collect in the strip Of alfalfa left standing Then it js ad- yised to go over the strip with the hopperdozer and poison bran mash. The hopperdozer is cOntrivance pulled by horses and which traps the grasshop- pers as they fly up from the ground.
 Cotton fields should be protected by using the poison bran mash, he stated. which should be spread wherever tho insects congregate. This is usually in the grass and weeds along the irriga ton ditches MT. Mote stated that these grasshoppers would be in the valley until about the middle of Au- gust. They always stay in the fields and never come to hover around the lighted towns as do the more harmless variety now sojourning here, he ex- plained.

Mistakes I Have Made.

My first appearance in the national

the only event In which / had ever
failed to qualify in my life-a fact
that establishes a good average Of
golf on my part.
When l left Cleveland the night
of my defeat ! thought that the les
son | had learned was that a big
championship was no place for small
boys. but later on Bobby Jones. the

proved that theory. TIE one thing ]

my temper, and it was on that old
street car railway that used to run
through the Euclid course that !
broke a golf club Intentionally for
the last time. My ball had found d
resting place in car track-ditticult I
