TRAIL OF THE DIN0sAUR
IN THE coNNECTICUT VALLEY

Holyoke, Mass, Dec. 26.-The trail of
the dinosaur in the Connecticut valley is
to be preserved if present plans are car
ried out. In the red sandstone of Dino
saur Ledge at Smiths Ferry. on the bank
of the Connecticut River, are the three
tied prints and the tail marks of the
mammoth reptile that lived millions OF
years ago. The chambers of commerce
Of Holyoke and Northampton are work
ing on a petition for legislative action
looking to preservation of the ledge, by
its inclusion in the Mount Tom State
Reservation.
Dr. Edward Hitchcock late president
Of Amherst college, discovered the ledge
with its two acres or more of reptilian
footprints nearly so years ago. Some
of the finest specimens were removed, and
placed in the college museum. Easily

in the spring varieties.
Elevators also handled approx

make the goose that laid the golden

The pale western cutworm, which
cost farmers of Montana last season
under the most conservative figuring
$3,750,000, threatens to cost them
even more in the season of 1921, ac-
cording to Professor R. A. Cooley,
state entomologist. While the worm
attacks all farm crops, the chief dam
age has been done to grain. Besides
the loss from cutworms, the grass
hopper plague digested another ST.

the leaf roller chewed up $3.50
worth of fruit in the Bitter Root val

College Makes Survey
A careful survey made by the agri-
cultural college experts at Bozeman
shows that grasshoppers annually at
tack seriously about 100000 acres of
Montana crops. In 1920, at a cost
of $500, the crop on $4,000 acres
was salvaged by treatment, reducing
