Ready TO Fight HopperS.

In an article on gras,hopper control
r. N. Irving, county agricultural
agent, offers some valuable informa-
ton. Following is the article in part:
1.-THE season so far this spring has
been favorable TO the Matching of The
grasshopper eggs and the growth of
the nymphs.
1.-THE writer has been 10 several
| communities so far this year, and has
found evidences Of considerable
Matching. Since control of this pest
requires united action by individuals
or community, 1t Is necessary that
definite reports from the various
communities be received shortly 10

Objective work can be carried out
only during the Matching stage which
Is between now and the middle Of
June and the first Of July. In the |
fall OF the year, about September, the |
eggs are deposited in the ground,
usually on some high, dry place, such |
as ditch banks, worn out pasture
land, sod land, idle land formerly
under cultivation but now packed and
grown up to weeds. Prairie land and
foot hills are also selected for depos
Ting eggs.
"The eggs hatch during the latter
part of May or early in June. Usually
Ibout the month of July. varying IN

Treating Ties Saves Timber

Nearly eleven million feet
lumber is saved by the Norther
Pacific Railway every year thr
the Lowry process of treating rail
road ties.
: About 20, 900, 900 cross ties ar
used on Northern Pacific track
and before scientific methods Q
timber treatment were brought int,
use. It was necessary to replac,
about 2, 7o4, 1873 of them every yea
"A total Of e5, 8S4, 35I lumber feet
Now, less than two million ties are
replaced each year, an annual saw
ing OF 289,326 cross ties and TO-.
7SS, oo2 feet of lumber.
Many thousands OF ties are treat.
ed every year at the Northern
Pacitc's tie treating plants at
Brainerd, MINI, and Paradise,
Montana. Often times the tie
yards contain million ties. After
six months of seasoning they are
ready for the process. Loaded on
round shaped tram cars they are
pushed by 5o-horse power
electric locomotive over narrow
guage railroad into a huge cylinder
-I33 feet in length by 2 feet in
diameter-for treatment.
The cylinder is closed and the
hot preservative, which is half fuel
oil and half creosote heated TO
near the boiling point, flows ip
from overhead tanks. When |
20, 900 gallons has entered, the
cylinder is full. Then hydraulic
pressure is applied and another
1000 gallons is forced in. All
his surplus amount enters the ties.
md as there are between 700 and
100 ties in the cylinder at one time.
ach tie gets about S gallons of
reservative. When the required
bsorPtion has been reached, the
ressure is released, the draining
alves are opened, vacuum pump J

set at work and the cylinder is |

NON-UNlON MINERS
WAKING UP

Charleston, w. Va,--Non-u union
miners in this state are striking a.
gainst their boasted independence
and freedom from union dictation.'
Anti-union coal owners have told
these workers how glorions it is to be
''free men," and subsidized press
has wheezed the same tune. The state
has been land Of milk and honey
for strikebreakers and gun men, while
coal barons cut wages and in sever
al localities smashed the miners un-
ion.
The wave of hysteria has subsidized,
and the non-union coal miner is facing
the grim reality of starvation wages.
He is now asking if there is not meth
cd in calls on him to show his 'inde-
pendence" Another factor is the muir
derous working conditions that pre-
vail in these fields. In an effort to
stop these local strikes, the coal bar
ons are closing down the mines.
