ToWnsenders
To Meet Soon
To Hold Annual Election-Wind
Up With Dance-State solons
For Plan 1O8 to 80.

Due to the cold weather and the
fact that several other meetings
were held in Hardin last Tuesday
evening, the attendance at the
meeting of the Hardin. Townsend
club was small and it was de-
cided to postpone the annual cleo
ton of officers until the next reg
ular meeting, which will be held
at the Hardin primary grade
school building the third Tuesday
OF the month, Feb. 16, at 7:45 p. m.
At the conclusion of the bust
ness meeting, the hall will be
cleared and a social dance will
be held for which a nominal
charge will be made and to which
the public generally is invited. At
midnight a lunch will be served
at Csc per plate.
Hardin has a strong Townsend
club and the members are conf
dent that it is only a question of
time when congress will adopt the
Townsend plan of old age pen
sionS. While the election of last
November was overwhelmingly
Democratic, a very large percen-
tage of those elected to congress
and to the various state legisla-
lures favor adequate old-age pen
sions.
Judging by the vote given House
Joint Memorial No. 2, urging con-
gress to adopt the Townsend plan
of old age pensions, both houses
of the Montana legislature are
overwhelmingly in favor, the me-
mortal having been adopted by a
vote of 70 to % in the house and
by a vote of % to II in the SEN
ate, making the joint vote of the
Montana legislature 108 for to SO
against. Both Montana's congress-
men, Hon. James F. O'Connor and
Hon. Jerry ]. O'Connell are ar
dent Townsendites. Senator James
E. Murray Is on record for the
Townsend plan and Senator B. K.
Wheeler is known to favor pen
sions for the aged. While a record
vote has not yet been taken in
the present congress, friends of
the Townsend plan claim it is
much stronger In this congress
than in the last.

e INFESTATloN

for the emergency control Of regu-
lar in~festations Of insects, includ-
ing grasShoppers and crtckets.
Senator Wheeler has introduced
q bill providing for such q fund.
Last December q meeting was
held In Billings to perfect plans
for a campaign to be waged in
1887. Nine counties were repre-
sented and q committee was an
pointed consisting Of a represen-
tattve from each county. Dan w.
Maddox Of Hardin represents Big
Horn county on that committee.
With the proper cooperation on
the part OF everybody it is hoped
that a poisoning or a control cam
patgn can be carried out this
year to reduce the damage to a
minimum. This will require the
help Of every farmer, business
man and landlord in Big Horn
county"
: L. Roy Cool, one of the field
men of the Holly Sugar Corpora
ton in the Hardin district was
called on and made a brief talk on
the effect the grasshopper, crick-
ct, web worm and blister beetle
has on the sugar beet crop, the
hoppers and crickets having been
especially damaging the past year.
He stated that in past years he
had observed that when blister
beetles were numerous, as was
the case last year, the following
year the grasshoppers we're not
SO bad, the blister beetle deposit
ing q larvae which destroys the
grasshopper eggs.
Dan w. Maddox, local manager
FOR the Campbell Farming Cor
porat1on. the largest wheat pro-
Queer in the world, was called
upon and spoke onthepoisonlng
OF grasshoppers and crickets, stat
ing that these pests can be killed
If poisoned when young.

Program
Halfway Club
Demonstration Given in Tyinp
And Dyeing-Interesting
- Talks on Montana. "

daiIWay demonstration club
met at the home of Mrs. .Bina Hud-
son Thursday of last week. The
meeting was started with q DEM
onstration in tieing and dyeing
10y Mrs. Pierce Hodges which was
verv interesting. While the scarfs
were cooking In their dye bath,
we were served with a delicious
lunch of chilli, strawberry upside
down cake with whipped cream
and coffee by Mrs. Hudson. After
lunch we learned some more
about tieing and dyeing, then the
following Montana program was
opened by the club quartet sing
ing Montana" the state song,
several Montana club songs and a
club song composed by Mrs. Hap
by Humphrey, which was followed
by prayer, led by Mrs. Bina Hud-
son, and resolutions for the year.
Roll call was responded to by
interesting talks on Montana"
which were enjoyed by all. Mrs.
Harry H. Simpson told about
coming to the Big Horn valley
when a little girl and that with
the exception of the Bill Ferguson
family they were the only white
people for miles around. Their
neighbors were all Indians. There
were no roads and no fences in
those days from Hardin to St.
Xavier. There was just a trail.
We then had a report on five
Montana books. Two of the books
were written by Will James, one of
them his life history, which was
very interesting. It Is also very
interesting to know the town he
speaks Of in "Cow Country" is
Pryor and that he still resides on
his ranch in that community.
One report was on Rock For
nations" in Montana and of the
beautiful fireplaces that have been
built Of rocks of every hue, i'm
bedded IN black cement also the
beautiful court house that Is now
being built from rock quarried in
our valley.
Mrs. Bina Hudson then reported
having written an article for the
Montana Farmer, which we all
want to read. We would have had
more book reports had not the
weather and roads been so bad
and so much sickness necessitating
six Of our members being absent.
Our next meeting, Feb. 25th.
will be held at the home of Mrs.
Happy Humphrey. There will be
demonstrations in "Paintex" by
Mrs. Harry H. Simpson, and
knitting" by Mrs. E. Schaak.
There will be a boosters play of
the lives OF great men born in
February, and a picture study of
Lincoln and Washington for en-
tertainment.

Plans for Their Control in 1887

ing, County Agent George W. Gus
tafson was chairman of the pro-
gram committee for the evening
and led the discussion by himself
and co-members Of the committee
ON the grasshopper and cricket in
festation Of last year and plans
for their control in 1887. Follow
ing are q few excerpts from the
talk given by Mr.. Gustafson:
LAS a result Of a survey made
by the entomologists of the Mon
tana State College at Bozeman.
cooperating with the Bureau of
Entomology, Washington, D. c.,
made in the fall Of 1896 It was de-
ter1nined that Big Horn county as
well as most of Montana Is faced
with q very serious infestation of
grasshoppers, crickets and other
insects which will be menacing the
crops of this state. A similar sur
vey has been made in previous
years and forecasts made as a re-
suit Of these surveys have been
very accurate. They ARE not to
be depended upon as q 1909
forecast, because many elements
will enter in to change conditions
before these pests may hatch out.
Nature has its checks and counter
checks, which will create proper
balances If given free swing, and
if it were not for the concern and
our dependence upon the crops,
about the grasshoppers or the
crickets.
Conditions which may change
the situation are: First, a wet
year with heavy rains and cold
weather, especially at the time
when grasshoppers and crtckets
hatch out. Second. an epidemic
Of disease, as the fungus may
spread out among the grasshop-
pers and gradually kill them out.
This disease Is dependent upon
proper weather conditions. So far,
the weather has been on the side
of the grasshoppers. Third the
rapid development of the para
site fly, evidences of. which. ap-
peared~ in 1886, may have a real
Influence in checking the .hoppers
and crickets in 1887. These are
merely suggestions and condi-
lions which might develop; but we
cannot rely upon these to check
the infestation and the protection
Of our crops in 1887. Hence, the
method that has proven most ef-
fective will have to be resorted to
and this consists Of spreading
poison bait.
In the past we have been
handicapped in the poisoning
campaign by the following factors;
First, lack of funds with which
to purchase material. Second, and
somewhat dependent upon the first
factor, proper time when the poi
son bait Is made available and,
thirdly, the lack of organization
early enough to carry on an ef-
fective campaign. These handi-
caps, we hope, will be done away
with this year.
Efforts are being made at the
present time for concerted action
to establish a fund by congress
of five million dollars to be known
as a general insect fund to be re-
plenished from time to time by
the congress of the United States
and to be available for immediate
use in setting up an organization
and providing for the material
