boy he will have a greater interest

If these boys and girls clubs do

they are failing in their purpose. but
they are more than this. Through
their efforts will be taught that true
success is not the accumulation of a

GREAT SAVING IN HOPPER
CAMPAIGN THIS YEAR

1t is hard to get at the actual saw
ing effected by tho grasshopper eXter-
mination campaign recently complet-
ed, but it may be interesting to the
general public to know Of the estimate
made by 1872 farmers who used the
poison bait.
The statements filed by the farmers
who used the poison shows in 4 num-
Der Of instances where one hundred
per cent Of the crop was saved. More
commonly, however, The farmers es-
innate that by putting out grasshop-
per poison ard stopping the pests
from moving into his fields, he saved
from twenty -fve to fifty per cent Of
his crop.
The average estimate of The saving
of one hundred eighty-two farmers
Agent was thirty-two per cent Of their
crop. If we may take this as a fair
average of the saving upon each farm
where the grasshopper bait was used,
we have a saving of thirty-tWo per
cent Of the crop on approximately
seven hundred farms, as about that
many used more than one hundred
pounds of grasshopper poison.
These one hundred eighty-two farm
ers also stated that the average saw
ing for Ward county was approx
mately twenty-five per cent. This may
be high, but if we cut that to twenty
per cent we will see that it paid to put
on a grasshopper campaign. The
gross receipts from the small grain
crop in Ward county this year will
amount to approximately $500, 900,
which would effect saving of approx
imately $4,000, and this amount is in
significant when compared with the
enormous saving caused by that ex-
penditure.
The value of these figures is in that
they are based on the estimates of
farmers who used the grasshopper
poison.
The County Agent states that'he has
kept in close touch with the grasshop-
per situation the latter part of this
summer, and he does not find as many
eggs in the ground as were present
during the last two seasons. How
ever, we should not relax our efforts
to keep these pests under control and
make preparations for the extermina-
ton Campaign next year. Nj
A great deal depends, on the spring
weather as to whether the grasshop-
pers will be plentiful or not. Every
farmer should do all the fall blowing
that he can and where possible, the
road sides and waste land should be
plowed and thoroughly disced.
