IL would be good politics as well

POLITICAL

A Republican editorial, written
in Washington with the tenets of
the Republican faith solely in mind,
gives a list of interesting statistics
to prove that our exports were
much larger in 1922 than they were
before 1914.
They T impressive, and doubt
less entirely correct. Along with
the figures is a strong, well written
editorial argument to the effect
that there is much loose talk about
~'reopening our foreign markets for
the surplus products of American
mills and farms" but it says of the
argument that rehabilitation of
Europe will help to bring back to
trade:
at is difficult to be patient with
such argument. It is AZ plain as
the nose on a mans face that the
reason our exports TO Europe today
arc greater than they were in the
pre-war year is because Europe is
not back to a normal pre-war basis
either industrially or agriculturally.
1t is equally plain that the nearer
she approaches such pre-war normal
production the less goods we will
sell to Europe and the nearer our
exports to Europe will approach
the pre-war figures"
1t is difficult, indeed, to be pa
tiens with political propaganda at
times, whether it be Republican,
Democratic. Socialistic or unadult-
Grated Bolshevism. 1t is apparently
the impression OF this writer that
the world (meaning the U. 81
would be better off IL Europe never
got back on her feet. Pressing the
point a little further, this country
would benefit hugely by another
world conflict. and would collect
what little OF the worlds wealth she
missed during the las. great war.

To Eradicate Hoppers

LANDER. Wyo.. May 10.-The
county commissioners. who finished
up their regular monthly meeting,
reached a decision regarding the
eradication OF grasshoppers in Ere.
mont county when they revised the
budget and appropriated $4,000 from
the general fund for this purpose.
According to the law under which
the county commissioners acted, the
farmer must apply the poison as
directed by the commissioners. They
or the committee in this case buy and
mix the poison. and notify the farm
ers where to get 1t and when to apply
1t. II the farmer refuses to comply
the committee may then go ahead
charge h full bill to the land. A
small fine may also accompany re-
fusal on the farmers part.
The grasshopper has come Il be n
serious menace in this locality in the
past two years. and II left unmolested
this year would likely cause a big
loss to the farmers and ranchers in
this locality. The action of the com
missioners is to take necessary meas
urers to prevent such n result. As
to the benefits accruing from the
grasshopper poison. the Bighorn
Basin country in the vicinity of Basin
provides a good example. Approx
mately $4,000 was spent there last
year to fight the hopper. Question.
naires were sem out among the
farmers using the poison. asking
them what they estimated was saved
to each of them through use of the
poison. There estimates aggregated

THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND
BEAR ARMS

Chief Magistrate McAdoo has asked
chiefs of police nll over the country
TO support n federal bill which puts
a virtually prohlbitive tax on the
manufacture and importation OF re-
volvers and pistols. The object, It
appears. 10 TO keep criminals from
getting such weapons. The incidental
effect. admittedly. will be to keep
honest citizens from having means of
protection against criminals. beyond
that furnished by tho police. Judge
sfcAdoo, speaking from long expert
ence and respected authority. says
that II is a delusion that the armed
citizen is safer, in a burglary or hold
up, than the one who carries no gun.
The danger is that the criminal Will

HOME DEPARTMENT
REPORT FOR 1922,
SHOWS MUCH DONE
Interesting Sta ii S til c S
Prove Farm Women
are Greatly Aided

A summary of the work of the
home demonstration agent and the
farm home department for the year
December !, 1921 to November so,
1922, just prepared by Miss o. A.
Miller, home demonstration agent,
contains an extensive list of the ac-
tivities conducted in these two de-
partments during the year. In adj
dition to the actual work of which
an accurate account can be made,
the benefits derived from the good
influence of the women members
of the home department is some.
thing that cannot be measured and
is never reported. That the farm
work is popular among the women
of the valley, can be seen from n
perusal of the home demonstration
agent s report.
There are SO women in the
farm home department, though
nearly 500 attend the meetings,
many outsiders being attracted to
them. The department. is active in
II farm centers and has organized
five training schools for local
leaders. Fourteen communities have
been recognized for extension pur-
poses and a like number have daopt.
ed projects. A total of 129 pro.
.cct leaders have been secured.
During the year, the home demon.
stration agent visited SO homes and
held 43 conferences with leaders ol
home demonstrators. Nincty-thrct
talks, lectures and demonstrations
were given.
