BUREAU WARS ON
HOPPERS
Millions Being Killed at Sweet
and BrOWnlee-HOw to
Make Poison Formula.

The campaign of determination Of
grasshoppers being waged by the
Gem County Farm Bureau In the
Sweet and Brownlee sections is be.
ing conducted with excellent results
The hoppers are being killed by the
millions by poisoning. On some of the
farms the odor from the dead hoppers
is so repulsive that the owners go into
the fields only when it is absolutely
necessary.
The devastation of the hoppers is
widespread and is inflicting serious
loss to ranchers. Many of the farm
ers are having difficulty saving their
gardens and field crops. The dis
couraging part of the fight is that the
hills are full Of hoppers and as soon
as one 10 ts killed others are ready
to take their places. However, the
farmers in that section are to be con-
graduated on the determined effort
that they are putting forth.

particular job in the system, and has
performed his duties in a most eff

Lean says he is the most valuable
man in the employ of the district,
and to his watchfulness and strict
attention to duty is due in a large
measure the constant flow of water
