GrasshOpper Control

Into a bushel of screened saw
dust thoroly mix, byS sitting, a
pound of poison either paris green
white arsenic, or crude arsenious
oxide. In a gallon of water dis
solve three fourths of a pound of
salt and add 70 of a cup of molas-
ses, slowly pour this into the poi
soned sawdust while the mixture
is being stirred. Add enough more
water to make good stiff mash"
This poisoned bait can safely
be taken in the hands and spread
broadcast. 1t should not be left
in piles around the field, but it
should be we'll scattered. A BUSH
ell of this poison ought to cover
about trhee acres of ground.
The best results from the use of
this poison are to be expected
when it is used late in the after
noon. Thus it will not dry out over
night and will be fresh when the
hungry hoppers go for it in the
morning.
If you put it out in piles the
chances are that there will be
some casualties, but if applied as
recommended no trouble is likely
to result. However, it is best to
salt the cattle before applying the
poison to their feeding grounds,
as they will then be less attracted
to the mixture.
AS one can readily see, the cost
of making a bushel of this poison
bait will be only the cost of the
poison itself together with little
molasses and some salt. The saw
dust, in regions where the grass
hoppers are worst, can be had for
the asking.
The greatest benefit can be OBJ
tanned only when all the farmers
in a community, or in a group of
communities, work together and
spread poison on all of the grass
hopper breeding ground. One
farmer using this poison without
cooperation, will get but tempo
rary relief, and in order to pro-
tect his crops he must keep on US
ing it thruout the summer, for the
grasshoppers are sure to fly in
from other breeding grounds.

SEED DECEPTION TO
BE ELIMINATED

Deception in seed sold farmers
over the state is being guarded a.
gainst by the Michigan State Farm
Bureau.
Need for service of this sort is
particularly obvious when the fact
is understood that, for example,
considerably more pure grimm
alfalfa was sold in United States
this year than was raised. More
than 20,000,000 pounds of Euro
pean alfalfa was imported from
Turkestan and Italy, which pro-
duces a spindling, meagre growth
when planted in Michigan, and
was passed in some instances as
homegrown.
The protection the farm bureau
is giving its thousands of men,
bers is inspection of growing
grimm and the security Of affidav-
its from the grower as to its orr
gin. This summer, farm bureau
representative will tour the north
western states and locate worth
while supplies and arrange for
their purchase for Michigan farm
ers.
Another seed for which substi-
tuition often has been made is
dwarf essex rape. 1t is extensive
ly used in this state as fall pas
ture crop for sheep and hogs. The
best source of it is Holland, but
since the war imports have been
negligible, and much of the Japa-
nese variety has been used as
substitute. The Japanese does not
seem hardy enough to be worth
while in Michigan. Efforts are
beng made by the farm bureau
to locate other sources of rape
and a number of samples nave
been secured from various for
eign countries for testing.

a tin box lying upon a plank near
the office steps. He examined the
box, and then went to the cafe,
kept by William Shirley where
he played cards for some time
with Louis Arnold and Roy Du-
catt. The three men left a short
time afterward in Carson's car,
and went to the Republican office
where they picked up the tin box
They drove out to Hathaway-st.,
and opened it, finding customers
notes and Liberty bonds belong
ing to George Smith. The men re-
turned to this city by way of the
Belle River road, and Carson inn
mediately went to the Recor
store and secured the reward.
Arnold and Ducatt arrived at
the Recor store shortly afterward
and demanded a like reward Mr.
Recor advised them that Carson
had already returned the stolen
box and received the reward he
had promised.
Carson was taken to the St.
Clair county jail short time af-
terward to be held until the case
could be investigated.
