ABOUT ~"SKEETERS."

The News Letter" published by
the Wyoming Agricultural College
says:
Are you planning to IL IA mosquito
hatchery this year?
you can readily do so by allowing
your irrigation ditch to overflow and
fill up one of those low swampy places
on your land. Or seepage from an ir-
rigation ditch. if allowed to collect in
a low boggy place, will be about equal
ly successful in raising a large swarm
of mosquitoes. So says DIR. Scott of
the department of zoology and parasit-
ology at the University of Wyoming.
We are fortunate in Wyoming. he says.
since we rarely nave more than one
brood each year.
THAT IL brood, however, is a Won
der. On account of our cool climate
it seems that nearly all of our mos
quitoes are northern species and their
habits are quite unlike those of the
~"rain-barrel' Culex mosquito usually
described in the textbooks. Our COM
mon species lay their eggs during the
latter part of June and July. They do
not lay them in water as Culex does,
but among the grasses in damp. usual
ly low places, for most of the water
from the late SHOWS and spring rains
has dried up by his time. Here the
eggs lie exposed to drouth and cold
until the following spring. Then the
wetter the season, or the more the
water spreads over the low ground,
the bigger is the brood of young
'wigglers" that hatch from the mos
quito eggs. After growing rapidly for
some time these larvae change into
queer looking pupae which find 1t diff
ficult to stay under water. Soon the
pupa. now changed into Il mosquito,

dries its wings and flies away. DR..
Scott has collected enough eggs from a
single square pool of ground to produce
n population of more than six million
mosquitoes per acre. In other words,

HON. F. e. LUCAS A CANDIDATE

In an interview given out last week,
Hon. Frank f.. Lucas of Buffalo made
the following statement:
After due d%eliberation and consider
able consultation, l have decided to be.
come a candidate before the primaries
in August for the republican nomina.
ton for the office of secretary OF
state. Should l be nominated and
elected l would expect to devote my
entire time to the duties of the office,
and my ambition would be to give to
the people of the state of Wyoming the
same efficient, economical administr.
tion as given thun by the present in.
cumbent."
Mr.. Lucas has been a resident OF
Buffalo for the past % years.. during
which time he has been editor AND
manager of the Buffalo Bulletin. He
has always been active in public af
fairs and has filled various positions
of responsibility in school and city af
fairs. and has served eight years as a
member of the state legislature, four
in the house and four in the senate
During the last session he was vice
president of the senate. His long ser.
vice i'll the Legislature has given him
Il wide acquaintance over the state,
and he is thoroughly conyersant with
the requirements of all sections. The
people of his home county Of johnson
are united in their endorsement Of his
candidacy.

salable and that withaI the animals
han other breeds.
This difference of opinion has been
quite general over the state, and in
view of that fact the Experiment Farm
at Archer established n herd of Short
horns for the sake of comparison with
the Holsteins already there. The
Shorthorn group represents al unusual
high grade of dual purpose milk
stock. They were selected with con-
siderable care and are, perhaps. an
average representation of the best
Shorthorn milking stock in the state.
For the sake of comparison. two
horns, as similar as it was possible to
pick thun from the herds with refer
cnce to age and period of lactation,
were chosen for the purpose OF tabulat-
ing their production records. All
of the COW in both groups finished
their milking period in the year 1921.
OF the ten COWS considered in the Hol-
stein group, the average lactation peri
cd for each individual was $50 days,
and for the ShorthOrn group the period
averaged 800 days. The average
amount of milk produced by the Hol-
stein group for that lactation period
was S.151 pounds per COW and for the
Shorthorns the average amount of milk
per cow was Clio pounds. With the
latter breed. however, the percentage
of butter fat was higher, but not suf-
f:ciently so to offset the greater volume
of milk produced by the Holsteins.
Two hundred s~iXty-five pounds of but
ter fat was the average amount pro-
duced by each COW of the Holstein
group, while the Shorthorns averaged
30 pounds, OF forty-four pounds per
COW less during a period of 800 days.

HOLSTEINS VERSUS MILK


The majority of the dairy farmers
in IL state are milking either Short
horns or Holsteins. A wide diversity
of opinion has existed as to the merits
of the two breeds. Those farmers who
are in favor of the S%horthorn dual
purpose cow contend that she is best
adapted to local conditions that she
does not produce so much milk in a
given time rs some of the other breeds
but gives "A greater percentage of
butter fat, 81 that in the long run the
total production valued in dollars and
cents is equal, if not greater, than that
produced by other dairy breeds. Then,

norm cow that her calves are more

JOHN HAY FOR GOVERNOR

With due respect to any and all
other candidates for governor who may
appear, John Hay best nswe the re-
quirements of the times. He is Il thor
oush business man, trained through
long experience, thoroughly familiar
with the conduct of large affairs, wide
awake to the necessities of the internal
concerns of the state, and with the
ability to carry to Il successful issue
his pledges to the people, for a conserv-
alive business administration of their
affairs and n material reduction of
taxation.
From some persons such pledges
would be empty. From John Hay they
depend only upon placing him in the
governors chair. No legislation can
resist his insistence upon "A square deal
to the people.
John Hay has a wealth of old fash
toned notions about economy that the
people of this state viii endorse. He
has ideas about the organization of n
state government for efficiency and CO.
operation that the peole will approve.
For it is to these things that we are
fast coming both in our public and
private affairs if we would survive and
remain in business.
John Hay needs no introduction TO
the people of Wyoming. He has lived
among then for forty years, since he
was II STRIPPING of a boy who had come
west to make his fortune. He made
that fortune and he made it himself.
1t was by sheer abality and honorable
dealing. 1t was by industry, frugality
and intelligent management. And in
the long record of forty years in Wyo-
ming there is no black mark to mar the
fair page. No scandal, public or pri-
vate, clings to his skirts. No friend
has ever been called upon to apologize
for any act or transaction in which
John Hay was concerned.
If nominated and elected, aud we
have no doubt both will occur. the
people of Wyoming may take hope,
that some of the cherished ambitions
they have had in their hearts for years
