Mrs. w. H. Griswold of American
Falls died at the Bethany Deaconess
Hspital Sunday evening at 7:15 o'clock

the deceased having been shipped east
Tuesday morning accompanied by the
husband and two brothers Dan and
Fred Altmyer.
Mrs. Griswold was universally ad-
mired for her ability as a home maker.
Her home in American Falls was a
model for coziness. Few sons had a
better mother and few mothers instil-
led gentler breeding into their sons,
who, with their father are left to
mourn the loss of their loved one.
Was 80 Years Old.
Mrs. Griswold was born, In Coggin,
Iowa, in 1888, where she attended
school and was member of the Chris
tian Church. She came west fourteen
years ago and taught for three years
in Nez Perce County, Idaho, where
she met and was married to Mr.. Girls
void. The Griswolds later lived in
Seattle and Portland and eight years
ago moved to American Falls where
Mr. Griswold has operated and man
aged the American Falls Motor Com
pany.

A fact not generally known abou
Mrs. Griswold was that she was eli
gible to the Daughter of the Ameri
can Revolution. A direct descendan
of VIM Penn and VIM. Rodgers, he
ancestry dates back and is closely con
nected with the birth of our nation.
The fact that no public funeral wal
held in American Falls was due Il
the expressed desire of the deceased
that she be sent to her last resting
place in the little home cemetery a
Coggin, Iowa, with as little ceremon.
as possible. She appraised the ser

home in the warm spring just north
of the bath house at Indian Springs.
They were given possession of the
spring by r. Fletcher Burrus who finds
them ideally adapted to the water.
Fred Cool used to feed them every
day until he noticed they were refus-

tural food provided in the spring.
Gold fish flourish In warm water and
grow to considerable size. Some OF
those at the Indian Springs are eight

GRASSHOPPERS
NEED ATTENTION
Pests VIII Prove Real Menace To
Crops Unless Poisoned Early In
Season Says MOrrelI- County Fur
nishes Poison.

Grasshoppers can be controlled and
prevented from seriously injuriHg
growing crops for not more than five
cents an acre according to county
Agent Morrell who reports that they
are becoming a severe menace to many
sections of the county.
Farmers should not be discouraged
because the hoppers are swarming into
their fields now. Poisoned bran mash
or sawdust is a proven remedy for
them and those who have had exper-
ience are using it with very satisfac-
tory results according to Morrell. In
sections where farmers are having
their first serious trouble with the
grasshoppers, those concerned should
take immediate measures to control
them and thus prevent serious dam
age.
Wind Scatters HOppers.
1t is Morrells opinion that the winds
of the last few days have scattered the
grasshoppers into fields where they
have not heretofor visited The coun-
ty agent emphasizes the necessity OF
fighting them now while they are
young rather than wait until they ma
ture and scatter thoroughly through
the grain later in the season.
Farmers are advised that poison will
not cost them anything at the present
time. The county stands half of the
expense and the remaining half is
charged in the taxes of the farmer who
uses the poison. The county agent
will give demonstrations of how to
mix the poison whenever called upon
After a demonstration it is an easy
matter for the farmer to mix his own
poison.

The common trade balance of Ecua-

weight is a rock about the size of a

that the stone weighs a full and ex-

Some time ago. a number of scfen-

watch plant growing, and study the
beating of what in vegetable life cor
responds TO the heart of an animal.
An average plant grows at the slow
rate of One-millionth part of an inch
per second. vet this device so magni-
hes this that, thrown upon the screen,
the increase is easily seen. Plant life
does not differ greatly from animal
life. Place the roots in boiling water,
1t struggles and dies the same as the
animal. A cabbage dislikes being
boiled as greatly as would your pet
dog. The only difference is that the
cabbage can not protest, but squirms,
wriggles and writhes.

FEED NECESSARY FOR
HENS DURING WINTER
Insects and Green Stuff Are
Plentiful in Summer.
Provision Must Be Made in Severe
Weather for Animal Food and
Observation-Disclosures for
Production of Eggs.

prepared BY the United states Department
or Agriculture.)
During the summer months the farm
er's flock balances its ration Of grain
and seeds with bugs. worms. and green
stuff, and the farmer need not worry
about egg production if his fowls have
been well culled. But winter feeding re-
quires that provision be made to supply
the deficiency of animal feed and succu-
lence. The absence of these essentials to
good egg production is responsible in
large degree for the falling of in yield
during cold weather.
Animal food, or other feeds rich in
protein, may be easily supplied on
most farms, particularly where skim
milk or buttermilk is available. The
liking of hens for these dairy by-prOd-
uctS is a good indication of the need
for what they contain. Meat scrap is
another excellent protein feed that
has become standard in poultry ratiOns.
Glover and alfalfa leaves provide a
combination of protein feed and green
stuff. Often enough of them may be
swept up from the barn floor where
the hay is handled. A good way to

container and let them steam for a

best-known providers of succulence in
winter. Plans for making sprOuterS may
be obtained from the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Mangels and
cabbage. as we'll as many other vegeta-
bles, are appreciated by the hens.
In general. winter feeding is much the
same as summer feeding. On the gov
eminent poultry farms the same ratiOns
are used in summer and winter. OF
course, in summer it is unnecessary to
feed Succulent feed when the birds

farmers flock. however. is an exceD-
tion To this rule. as in many cases
