Ranchers Making 1t
Warm For MIR. Hopper

Progress is being made in the coun-
ty grasshopper campaign.
Thirteen mixing stations have been
established in the infested sections
where poison mash may be secured
by the farmers. Two more stations
will be located this week at Paint
Creek and Sheets Flat.
The location of the stations are as
follows:
Cody section: /. N. McGuffey,
Fred Mcneil, and Hans Nelson
ranches; Powell section: Mantua,
Garland, Penrose, Powell, R~alston,
Star school, Franklyn ranch, w. An
derson ranch, Northrup ranch, and
Biesmeyer ranch. The section at
Sheets Flat will be located at the
Emil Hague ranch. The location of
the Paint Creek station has lot been
decided upon as yet. 1t is possible
that it will be necessary to establish
a station on North Fork also which
will make a total of 16 mixing stations
in the county.
Four cars of bran, 10000 pounds of
arsenic, 1000 gallons of syrup, 35 gal
Ions of banana oil and a ton of salt
are being distributed at the stations.
Some poison mash is being spread a
round the grain fields at present. The
big drive on Mr.. Grasshopper will
come, however, when the first cutting
of hay is off the fields. This will find
the Hopper family on low rations
when a feed of bran and syrup will
be relished.
The ~grasshopper situation seems
serious in a number of localities of the
county. Considerable damage is be-
ing done at present on the first crop
of alfalfa. In such localities it is
doubtful if any second crop at all can
be grown unless the hoppers are des-
troyed. In fields of newly seeded al
falfa the damage is perhaps greater
than any where else since the young
plants will be destroyed even though
the hoppers are not as plentiful as
elsewhere.
1t is the opinion of the county
agent, who has charge of the cam
paign, that if the situation is not met
when the first cutting of hay is off,
before the second crop begins to fur
nish abundance of fresh green feed,
the fight will be lost. This can be
done If the proper cooperation is
shown. II will fail and the county's
money wasted if the farmers fail to
cooperate. If the campaign fails this
year we may expect the grasshoppei
situation to be even worse next yeai
unless some power greater than hui
man comes to the resuce.

Pup Took False
Teeth For a Bone
And Cached Them

Two weeks ago George Berry the
stage driver between Clark and Belfrv
was wearing a wide smile as he de-
hvered mail and parcels along his
route. This smile displayed as fine
a set of new teeth as anybody every
looked at. They had two gold crowns
and a filling which made them look as
natural as life, and everyone con-
graduated George upon his improved
appearance.
He admitted himself that he did
look handsomer and younger than
when he was a GUNNER, to say moth
ing of being able to eat something be-
side spoon victuals.
The next trip George was without
his teeth and his brow was corrugated
with worry. He had laid his teeth on
the corner of the table and his pup,
installing them for a bone, had car
ried them off and buried them.
George had been all around the yard
digging up the pups caches but had
not been able to unearth anything
but legitimate plumber such as any
pup is entitled to.
He kept at it, however, crashing
his gums and spending all his spare
time spading up the garden and dig
ging into wherever looked a likely
place for a cache. The people along
his route commenced to take as much
interest in his search as the owner,
and the first thing they asked when
he appeared at the mail box was, well
have you found emp which was a
superflous question since a glance
would have told them.
Finally his perseverance was award
ed when one day last week he dug
into a soft place and rammed his
fingers right into them. Now George
is smiling again and exercising more
care as to where he lays them.

THE PATH OF FIRE

Eighty-one million acres OF desert
mark the progress of forest fire des-
truction in the United States. All h
tracts which go to make up this total,
in one continuous area, would over
the State of Wyoming, and one-third
of Colorado more than one-sixth of
the present timbered area in the Unit
ed States.
Not once, but repeatedly have fires
swept over the land taking first the
mature forests, then the seed, young
growth and weeds which remained or
sprnng up in their place, ever the soil
itself, leaving nothing but barren,
rocky wastes.
The retaining Of these wastes now
depends upon human efforts. Every
possibility OF nature is exhausted.
Forests must be set out and given
years in which to grow to such n size
that they again can begin the slow but
necessary process of soil building.
watershed protection and lumber pro-
duction.
The reclamation Of these deserts
by human efforts is n fitting sequel
to their destruction, for here too in
the destruction the hand Of man may
claim It's glory. OF all th efires which
burn annually in our forests, more
thnn four-fifths are the result Of hui
man cause and most of these due to
pure carclessness.

CULTIVATION MOST IMPORTANT
NOW IN BEET FIELDS

Cultivation is very necessary in the beet fields in this
district now for several reasons:
I'm fields lately thinned, to throw the earth back in
the rows where the blockers cut away the soil from the
plants.
Ahead of the second hoeing in the early thinned
fields, to cut out the weeds and loosen up the earth, thus aid
ing the hand labor.
$40 mulch the surface and save the mostur Elm the
ground. Even in the districts which had heavy rains last
month the growers shou Id not overrate the moisture con-
tent of their soils nor under estimate the effect OF evapor-
atino at this time OF the year.
ITO open up the pores" of the ~rain-beaten fields.
In many localities the rains left the ground packed and in
a lifeless condition which will have to be remedied by
cultivation.
Where the beets are large and have sent their feeder
roots out into the spaces between the rows, the time is
nearly past for deep cultivation. In such fields cultivate
shallow. Bull tongues should not be set too deep. Use
duck feet on the cultivator il the field is wcedy.
Examine the beet field an dmake certain that a hard
pan is not forming beneath the dust. If the soil is becoming
packed too hard cultivate at once.
In replanted or hailed fields particularly hope of a
satisfactory tonnage may be realized only if every effort
is made to keep the beets growing steadily, without set
backs due to crust or weeds or lack OF timely irrigation.
This attention to keeping the beet plants in a thrifty condi-
ton at all times is no less necessary in the best looking fields
if good yields are to be assured.

LONDON, Oct. so. = Andrew
Bonar Law, former premier of
England and an outstanding fig-
ure in international politics. died

He was sixty-five years old last
month.
Bonar Laws end was peaceful.
He died at 2:30 o'clock, retaining
consciousness to the end. His
daughter, Lady Sykes, and his
son-in-law, Sir Frederick Sykes,
were at the bedside.
Pneumonia Brings Death.
The statesman had been In fail
ing health for several years, but his
final attack of illness dates only
back to last week. when he was
stricken with pneumonia He sui
fered from throat trouble complicated
with heart weakness.
Bonar Law was forced from the
British premiership last May by III
ness, being succeeded on May q by
Stanley Baldwin, the present
premier.
The feHrner premier's death comes
as severe blow to the Tory party
and to large numbers OF friends. al
though it was not entirely unex-
pected. Bonar Law succeeded David
Lloyd George in office after the
Coalition cabinet was forced out Last
year by the Tories.
A week ago the former premier
was thought to be on the roadee

Extravagance in the purchase
of hospital sites as far back as
three years ago was revealed in
evidence today before the Senate
committee investig attn 6 the
United States Veterans Bureau.
E. L. Morse, prominent Mis-
sourian Republican leader, testi-
fled he had received q contract
during the Wilson administration
for the purchase of his home at
Excelsior Springs, Mo-, as q hos
pital at a price which Govern
ment records show netted him a
profit of $s1 900.
Was Paid $4,000.
Morse said the final price paid
him was $116,000 for his house and
the surrounding land. while a report
Of a Government commission fixed
its value at only $35, 900.
Morse was the first witness cali.
ed to the stand. He was questioned
about the details OF the transaction
involving the sale of his home as
a hospital.
Part Of the property necessary
to acquire was owned by the edi.
son Company" said Morse They

unless I purchased other land
which was not needed. I bought 1t

Morse told Of raising this money
by subscriptions from the citizens
Of Excelsior Springs. He admitted
that although he leased property to
the Government in April, 1921, he
did not acquire the title until a
year later. For three months after
the lease went into effect Morse
said he received $500 in rents and
then he sold the property outright
to the Government for $4,000.
