reduced figure than thai which they
obtained.
The potato Is a cash crop which
does exceptionally well in h local
ity and seed potatoes from wyom.
ing are always in great demand es-
poclally from the dry lands. A move.
ment was started this past season for
h growing Of certified seed with tho
idea OF demonstrating the success of
this crop and eventually building this
Community I'D into q seed potato pro-
duclnG territory. Sevon thousand
pounds Of certified irish cobbler po-
tato seed was secure for seven diff
ferent c~o-operators. This seed was
tried put IN both dry land and irri.
gated land with very good potatoes.
We have now demonstrated beyond
all doubt that certified seed potatoes
can be crown very successfully in
this county. Conditions here seem
most favorable for controlling potato
diseases which is OF prone import
once in the growing OF seed potatoes,
as certified ssed must be free from
Disease and true to type. Considerable
interest is being aroused in this &C,
ttvfty and indications are that a large
acreage will be planted this coming
year.
Upon investigation last spring It
was found la we were undoubtedly
due for a grasshopper plague. The
investigation proved to be very true
as grasshoppers came and came by
the thousands. This county. as we
all know. Is largely a grazing coun-
ty, there being very little crop area,
and therefore u plague OF this name
Is very difficult to control However.
considerable effort and time were
spent in e~nGeavorinE to exterminate
the Grasshoppers from the cropping
area Around $500 pounds of poison
bait was mixed and distributed among
the farmers, giving splendid results.
1t proved to the farmer hat grass
hoppers could be stopped II gotten in
time. From all Indications It looks
as though we will have to prepare in
time this ear for another plague this
coming season. As investigation
shows that a vast abundance of fer
tile eggs lay in the soil now waiting
for the s~unshlny spring and summer
days to hatch. Let EN- come, we're
ready for them.
Besides the above PROJECTS which I
have discussed in some detail, n great
many minor lines of work have been
carried on such as organizing boys
and girls agricultural and home eco.
nomics clubs; purchasing and dlstrl.
button Of seed: irrigation problems
v~accinating demonstrations, etc.
In closing, let me state that the
agricultural outlook for Natrona
] county IS indeed bright. We are
moving ahead along definite lines
which IN the end is bound to reap
success.

CORRECT F|GURES' IN MEET ING URGED.
Erickson Gains Information At Convention Of SeCre-
 tarieS In Atlanta

Earnest pleas to members to give the newspapers correct figures on at tendance, prospective and actual at conventions, was the main thought o. Gordon Erickson. secretary of Birmingham's municipal publicity bureau, brought back from the NIn- ternational Association of Conven- tion secretaries this week in At lanta.
 "The consensus of opinion was.' MT, Erickson said, that the day has passed when it is c~Sirable for or ganization officials to give news papers overated figures in the hope that the publishing of them might lead to larger attendance. On the contrary, the result is quite the re- verse, for fearing lack of accommo- dation in the hotels nay stay away who otherwise would come.
 An instance was that of a con vention last summer. The news papers were told that 75.000 people would attend. The papers published hem in large type. A scant 14,000 registered, when thrice that many had attended previous meetings"
 Another thing the assembled sec retaries said was now out of date, money to promoters to bring a con- ventfon to a city. From $1,000 up has been put up in times past. They advocated instead cities taking all interest in convention, providing automobiles, boat trips where desir- able and other entertainment fea- tures

 Second Payment.
 During the early part of the cam paign a number of your friends may have given you a short time subscrip- tion, thinking you did not have the sticking qualities necessary to win in campaign of this magnitude. They told you they would watch your progress. and if they thought you were going big they would help you with an additional subscription payment later. You may take this second payment and you will receive votes the same as if the payments had all been made at one time. For example: Suppose your friend gave you a three months subscription to the Daily and Sunday by carrier. For that subscription you collected $255 and received 2000 votes. Now if you can get this party to extend his sub scription for three months longer, making six months in all, for the sec ond three months you will receive 4,000 votes, making 5000 in all. or, suppose subscriber had already pald you S5 for six months. If you now get this same subscriber to make another payment for six months, 50, for the second payment you will re ceive 5000 votes, making 15,000 votes in all you have received for this years subscription. This second pay ment plan applies to any second pay ment subscription. When sending such subscriptions, be sure and mark on the remittance sheet by the sub scriber's name the words second payment" unless 1t Is marked sec O. payment the second payment votes will not be allowed. Also. give the amount of the first payment.
