Crasshopper Pest Threatens
To Develop IN Farm Country
Northwest Of Monte Vista

We are in receipt OF statemen'
TO the effect that young grasshop-
pers are Matching out by the mil
lions on the Chester Matthias ranch
northwest OF Monte Vista. Grass
hoppers were plentiful last year In
that section known as the front"
or Just below the foothills In the
northwest part Of the county; SO.
considering the mild winter just ex-
perienced, we are not surprised to
hear that this pest Is becoming very
much in evidence. The hOppers to
date are very small bdt quite active:
and In several fields being plowed
for potatoes and other crops. thou
sands OF egg-clusters have been seen.
Some poisoning was done in this
section last year. but not nearly rs
much as should have been done. for
the good Of all concerned. II now
looks like a real outbreak Is pos
sible.
Poisoning to good advantage can
not be done now. as the insects are
too small: and some OF the eggs not
yet hatched. II Is up to US all to
keep mighty close watch on these
pests: and. since they appear to be
coming in the above section near
the edge Of the farming country. IL
would be much easier to wipe them
out there than after they have
spread To the south and east. Two
formulas are now is use for mixing
the poison:
FORMULA NO. I
Paris Green-3 pounds
Bran-50 pounds
Syrup quarts
Lemons or oranges-lo
Water gallons.
FORMULA no. 9
Prepared poison quarts
Bran-lO0 pounds
Syrup gallons.
One hundred pounds OF poisoned
bran will be sufficient to cover
around IL to Is acres OF ground
The prepared poison costs 800 per
half gallon (. o. b. Fort Collins. and
is claimed to be the best ever put
ont. The bran should be free from
shorts. as the gluten In the shorts
will gum up the mash and make
thorough mixing difficult.
Mr.. Walton Pete.t. head OF the
marketing department OF the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation will
be at the Sargent Consolidated
schools Friday evening. June 1. for
the purpose OF addressing potato
growers relative to cooperative
marketing OF potatoes In Colorado
To date. there are - local com
munities already organized unde,
the cooperative plan. and In great
many OF these. the signing of con-
tracts has gone over the top" The
contracts seem TO he pretty generally
understood: but the plan OF market
ing has not been discussed to such
great length. Mr. Pcteet will handle
this phase Of the proposition In Q
very clear and interesting way.
Every grower should hear him.

Ignite Char to
Make Light Cheaper

Montreal, May 31-(By A. P.)-
Sciences quest for a method that
will add Ignite char to the available
fuel supplies of the United States
was described at a session of the
Fuels Division of the American So
ciety Of Mechanical Engineers here
today by o. p. Hood. chief mechani-
cal engineer of the U. S. Bureau of
Mines.
1.-THE Bureau Of Mines is investi-
eating the possibilities of a pro-
gram" said Mr.. Hood, (which has
for it's main features an inexpensive
carbonizing device and the use of
the Ignite char direct, without
briquetting.
'Lignite char can best be described
in few words as a fuel rather near
in. analysis to anthracite coal, but
softer, with a little more volatile
matter. and thus kindliEg easier. In
size it grades from pea coal to
smaller sizes, and is a staple product.
Whether market can be developed
for such a fuel at prices around five
dollars a ton at the mine, remains
to be shown, but it is at least en-
couraging to know that Germany
used last year 100000 tons Of similar
material for domestic heating and
cooking.
This fuel burns we'll with natural
draft where thin fuel bed can be
maintained. Base burners, cook
stoves, and other heaters can be
adapted to use the fuel satisfactorily.
The Germans have developed a spe-
cial stove, burning the fuel on a bed
or ash in an enclosed drawer. There

can be placed and the material land
ed here. The first thing will be the
razing Of the old buildings, which
have long since outlived their useful
be used to advantage will be put into
the new building. The structure will
cost some $175,000 and Of this $4,000
| will be raised by the city this year.
this amount having been appropriate
ed by the city government, $4,000 a
few weeks ago, and an additional
$4,000 at special meeting held this
week.
While the contract has not yet
been signed. it will be within a few
days and will include a gymnasium,

city would not be able to build this
year. 1t was voted also to eliminate
the side balconies in the auditorium,
and have one in the rear which will
seat 200. thus making the entire
seating capacity 500. The gym will
be entirely shut off from the main
building. having a separate entrance
on Court street. This will allow bas-
ketball and other entertainments to
be held without entering the main
building. There will be showers,
dressing rooms, etc. and over these i
balcony seating 100.
