where the old home stands"
On the other hand we regret to
record the departure of ID. R. Han
cock, wife and child. After nearly
two years employment with the
Arizona Mining Company, Roy made
up his mind to quit and quit he
did, and hied himself away to Cali
fornia, just when Nevada was turn
ing green and California brown
and sere. They too, are Unionville
children and we miss them sorely.
While playing last week with some
cartridges from which the lead had
been removed, Ned, the youngest
son of E. S. VanDyck, was cut in
the face by pieces of one of the
shells which exploded while being
held over lighted match. For
tunate indeed he was that his eyes
escaped and that none of the cuts
were deep. After first aid was
applied by his mother, who is a
graduate nurse, Ned was taken to
Winnemucca to see a physician.
Another slight accident occurred
on the school ground. Andrew
Davidson, son of H. F. Davidson,
threw his knee out of joint while
playing bali.
Still another accident, much more
serious, occurred during last month.
One of the employees at the mine,
familiarly called Blackie, had the
misfortune to be directly under a
falling rock and was knocked sense
ess when it struck him on the back
and head. He was Immediately
cared for as best could be at the
mine and then taken to Lovelock
for surgical aid. At last accounts
ne was slowly progressing towards
recovery.
Word has been received of the
leath of Mrs. Jane Boyer at Sacra-
mento, Friday, March so, 1928,
from paralysis. Mrs. Boyer was a
pioneer of Nevada, having come to
The state during its early history.
For many year she resided in Churc-
hill county, where nearly all her
children by former husband grew
to maturity. She was the widow
of the deceased Boyer, a well known
citizen of Churchill county for many
years. Mrs. Boyer is survived by
seven children, w. G. Brown and
Mrs. j. E. Thorton of Unionville,
Mrs. J. J. Mors of Santa Barbara,
Mrs. S. B. Thorton of Reno, Mrs.
Margaret Hammell of Stockton, Mrs.
Bert Clement and Mrs. Ray Powers
of Sacramento, all of whom were at
her bedside when the end came.
There are numerous grandchildren
as well. The remains were in
terrd in Mountain View Cemetery
Reno. The sympathy of the COM
munity is extended to the bereaved.

SCHOOL EXERCISES AT FIT. HALL

Wednesday afternoon the girls OF
the Episcopal Indian Mission school
Of the Good Shepherd at Fort Hail.
gave an operetta "Florinda, of the
Rose and the Pearl" The play was
given under the trees near the school
and the stage was marked off by
spruce trees and plants which gave a
very unique rustic setting. The oper-
eta was based on Grimm's fairy tale
of Florinda and Yoringal which deals
with the story of the child Florinda
being turned into nightingale by a
witch and the discovery Of the magic
flower, the Rose and Pearl which de-
stroys the witch's power and restores
Florinda to her former state. This
gives many opportunities for solo
work, choruses and dances, which
were made very effective by the clev-
er costuming of the little actresses.
The entire production was under the
direction of Miss Alice Larery, a
teacher at the mission school and the
young ladies gave very creditable
performance. The chief roles were
as follows: Florinda, Jessie Teton;
Fortuna, Esther Mazewseyu; Vale,
Mary Bronco; Yoringal, Flossie
Drink; First Witch, Josephine Poca-
tello; First Fairy, Edna Jim; Second
Fairy, Cornelia Pocatello. Following
the presentation Of the operetta IN
which twenty-five of the pupils ap-
peared, the entire group Of students
attending the school gave a perform
ance Of their health exercises which
are taken by music. This was given
in a very splendid manner and was
followed by short address by the
Rev. C. H. l.. Chandler of Pocatello
who chose as his subject one which
was very appropriate and in keeping
with the exercises, Social Service"
in which he spoke of the splendid
work that could be accomplished thru
this medium, being exemplified by the
program which was given by the
students. The program was conclud-
ed by the children repeating the Flag
Salute and the singing of patriotic
hymns. The guests were then invited
to return to the school building where
an exhibition of the sewing and fam
cy work done by the pupils during the
past year was given. The entire affair
was very fine and reflects great cred
it upon Miss Maude Parsons, princf-
pal Of the school, Miss Alice Larery
who directed the production, Mrs. c.
H. L. Chandler, accompanist, Arch
Deacon Stoy and many others who
contribute to the success of the ex-
ercises.

STATE CHLORINATOR IN DEMAND

Boise, Idaho, June 7.-Commission-
er David Burrell of the Public We'll
fare Department has asked State
Chemist, Mike Leonard, to install the
state chlorinator in the American
Falls water supply for one months
test in an effort to assist the Amer
lean Falls Water and Realty Company
in giving pure water to its subscrib-
ers. In the mean time the water COM
pany will have ample time to secure
plant of it's own in order to comply
with the recent decree Of District
Judge George EdgingtOn insisting on
the publication Of the supply Of the
water for that town.
The case has been hanging over for
nearly two years and the recent de-
cision of the court puts teeth In the
decision to the same effect made by
the public utilities commission last
August. Other committees have
watched the case with interest be-
cause of similar conditions.

CONTROL OF ALFALFA WEEVIL

University of Idaho, Moscow, June
THE agricultural experiment sta.
tion, after careful study, is recon-
mending spraying for the control OF
alfalfa weevil, pest which is one OF
the greatest dangers to the alfalfa
growing districts Of southern Idaho.
The station Is recommending spray
ing because 1t appears to be the more
effective and it Is less costly and can
be applied with less interference with
the best growing practices than any
other method Of control under aver
age conditions. The alfalfa weevil
work in Southern Idaho is being con-
Quoted under the supervision Of Claud
Wakeland, station entomologist, and
the recommendations are the result Of
his work thus far.
Climatic conditions are such that
the weevil can be effectively control
led by the application Of one spray in
the eastern and southeastern parts Of
the state, says a statement by Mr..
Wakeland. Best results are obtained
by applying the spray on the first
crop at the time larval injury begins
to be severe over the entire field.
During the last three years this date
has varied from June 10 at Twin Falls
to July 3 at Rexburg. This date is
approximately ten days before time
for planting the first crop. Spraying
done at this time will protect first
crop from serious loss and kill suf-
ficient weevil larvae TO enable the
second crop to make start without
great loss Of time. Spraying on the
second crop has proven valueless un-
der practical conditions.
Calcium arsenate is used for pois-
oning alfalfa weevil larvae, and is ap-
piled at the rate Of two pounds to the
acre. The experiment station finds 1t
more desirable than lead arsenate
since calcium is not an accumulative
poison in an animals system. When
the recommended amount Of poison is
used there is no danger to livestock
that eat sprayed oats.
In western and southwestern Idaho 1,
the eggs are deposited earlier in the
season than In eastern Idaho. For this
reason a single spray application In
The Boise and Payette valleys has not

X. OF P. TO STOCK
CREEKS WITH FISH

At the regular meeting Of the K. of
P. lodge last Tuesday evening it was
voted to appoint committee to ask
for fish to be placed in creeks adjac-
ent to the Blackfoot river. M. M.
Farmer Of Firth was the originator of
the idea and was made chairman of
the committee. Mr.. Farmer has been
very successful in getting fish for
Firth for the Wolverine where some
1900 have been planted. Just what
creek the local lodge will favor is as
yet unknown but it is thought that
Brush creek will be the first one to
receive their attention.

always afforded the protection tha
is necessary. The experiment station
is this year making extensive tests Of
the two spray method of control.
Parasites of the alfalfa weevil were
introduced into this country from Eu-
rope. One species has become very
abundant in eastern Idaho and doubt
less is factor helping to hold the
pest in check there. These weevil
enemies were introduced in western
Idaho In 1921 by the experiment sta
tion and are now established and in
creasing rapidly in the Boise valley.
Early cutting Of light crops, brush
dragging Immediately after removal
of the first crop, and pasturing close
ly are advocated as other methods OF
control.
The experiment station is doing
much toward solving the weevil
problem.
