merits at the earliest practicable
time"
The readjustment Of living costs
could not come with rapidity, Mr.
Wilson explained, but added his be
lief that efforts to force prices dowr
were having beneficial effect
The union reply expressed gratifi
cation with the presidents "recog
nition of principles" which have :
bearing on their demands, but added
that there was a pressing necessity
ior immediate relief,
1--WE feel justified in saying" the
union answer continued that we dc
not believe the employees will coun'
tenance any plan which contem-
plates further delay.
1T is our earnest conviction tina,
the situation warrants us urging that
you promptly indicate to railroad
labor that you will create by agree
ment a special tribunal to deal with
specific and important problems,
Principles Outlined.
A set of principles with which the
tribunal is asked to deal from the
union view were outlined as follows
81. Rates of pay for similar or
analogous services in other indus
tries.
"2. Relation OF rates OF pay to, in
creased cost of living.
"3. A. basic minimum living wage
sufficient to maintain railroad
mans average family upon a stand
ard OF health and reasonable COM
fort.
"a. That differentials above this
basic minimum living wage be es-
tablished, giving due regard to skill
required, responsibility assumed and
hazard incurred; decision to be
handed down within so days after
agreement to establish it, and to be
final and binding upon all roads in
the United States and employees
whom we represent"
Appeal to Public.
In statement supplementing
their letter to the White House, the
union officials declared their convic-
ton that settlement of the contro-
versy along any lines other than ON
the principles they set forth would
be "at best, makeshift." They de-
clared those principles to be funda-
mental and appealed to the public
mot to fear that any wage increase
granted will prove a step in the So
called vicious cycle"
1T is the conscienceles pyramid
ing of profits, and not the increasing
circle of costs incident to giving
labor living wage, that the public
should be OH guard against" the
statement said. Labor, assured of
fair treatment and re-
lieved of distress and worry due to
wages, will always,
through greater efficiency and a de-
sire to return square deal for square
deal, hold labor costs on a sound
economic level by increasing produc-
ton and service. We ask the
American people to see that we are
met half way in our effort to settle
sanely and fairly, but speedily
great and trying problem"

and countries, and has been found so
effective, that the Agricultural Col
lege does not hesitate in recommend
ing it as the most effective and the
most practical method of control.
The bran mash is made as follows
bran, 20 lbs; white arsenic, Paris
green, or London purple, / lb; syrup
or cheap molasses, 2 OTIS; oranges or
lemons, 3; water, 3 " gals.
In preparing the bran mash, mix
the bran, white arsenic, Paris green
or London purple thoroughly in a
wash tub while dry. Squeeze the juice
of the oranges or lemons into the wa
ter, chop the remaining pulp and the
peel to fine bits or run them through
meat grinder, and add them to the
water. Dissolve the syrup in the
water and wet the bran and poison
with the mixture, stirring at the same
time so as to dampen the mash thor
oughly.
The bait when favored with lem
ons or oranges has been found to be

not only more attractive, but also
more appetizing, and thus eaten by
more of the grasshoppers.
! The bran mash or bait should be
sown broadcast in the infested areas
early in the morning, or about the
time the grasshoppers begin to move
about. 1t should be scattered spar
ingly in such a manner as to cover
from four to five acres with the
amount of bait made by using 20
pounds of bran. Since very little
of the bran mash is eaten after it be-
comes dry, scattering it broadcast
in the morning, places it where the
largest number will find it in the
shortest time possible. Sowing it in
this manner also makes it impossible
for birds, barnyard fowls or livestock
to secure sufficient amount of the
poison to kill them. On alfalfa fields
in order to secure the best results,
the bait should be applied after the
crop has been removed and before
the new crop has started. In this case
considerable saving of material and
labor can be effected by leavinb
strip 20 to 80 feet wide between each
strip of mash. 1t is fully as effective
as if the entire ground was covered
because the hoppers will crawl many
feet to get it. 1t is also good plan
to apply the bran mash to a narrow
strip in the center of each field left
uncut for the purpose. In cutting
arond and arond the field, the hop
pers are driven to the center. Then
they are in close quarters, and less
bran will be required with much less
labor. The mash will not stick on
the plants after they have been cut
and raked, and thus there is no dan
ger of the hay poisoning the stock.
] If they are moving into the alfalfa,
corn, new wheat or garden, strip
of the poisoned bran mash should be
scattered early in the morning along
the edge of the crop into which they
are moving. If they are already
spread into the fields, the bran mash
should be spread over the infested
portions. Inasmuch as the grasshop-
pers may keep coming into crops
from adjoining fields, it will be nee
essary in several cases to make sec
ond and even a third application of
the bait at intervals of from three to
four days.
To make a successful fight against
cannot be laid upon the necessity Of
beginning promptly as soon as the in
sects are present in sufficient num-
bers to threaten the crops and con-
tinuing it vigorously so long as the
grasshoppers are present.

PROTECT ALFALFA AND
OTHER CROPS FROM HOPPER

According to field investigations
and reports from County Agricul-
tural Agents in the western third of
the state, an unusually large number
of grasshoppers have Matched from
the eggs that survived the winter and
in many districts in this part of the
state they are in sufficient numbers
to seriously injure alfalfa and later
in the season the other crops, unless
a prompt and vigorous effort is made
to destroy them. ,
The young are easily found now
in the spots where adults gathered
last fall. These infested areas can be
located by examining alfalfa fields,
road sides, the edges of pastures next
fields and weedy spots in pastures.
During the last six years, the poi
soned bran mash favored with fruit
juice has been so extensively used
in this state, as well as in other states
