 hoppers in one 10-mile stretch. So perhaps 1t is simpler to say there are enough hoppers to eat six acre tract field clean of every liv- ing thing in 2 1-2 hours. Farmers Won't Retreat
 But you can see ugly pictures and hear ugly stories of the inva- sion and dig deeper to find the courage of dry land farmers and rachers who have licked @ per- sistent drouth and who will not be driven from their homes by all of the grasshoppers in Egypt, Ok lahoma, Texas and Colorado.
 They have the same quiet cour- age of County Agent Don Mo- Millen, of Soil Conservation Su- perintendent N. B. Cool and of Agronomist Gale Warner. I stood talking to County Agent McMillen and George Schafer, who owns 30,o00 acres of grazing land in the center of the little town of Boyero, southeast of Hugo. Schafer was one of the first of the big ranchers to realize the seriousness of the situation months before eggs matched.
 Who'll win, you or the hop pers?" I asked McMillen.
 We're doing all we can," he answered.
 we've got the finest co-opera- ton anyone could want. But we need more materials, more saw dust, more bran. A few days ago need more materials"
 Work Hand -in- Hand
 There is cooperation. The Soil Conservation Service, the eco camp, the Colorado National Guard, the state highway de- partment, the county, the tiny towns-all are working hand in hand to beat back the invaders lest they sweep thousands more acres of land with the combined efficiency of fire, drouth and fun- gus. The ranchers swear by Me- Millen and he swears by them.
 The crisis will come by the end of the first week in July, accord ing to McMillen.
 The hoppers pass through sev- eral "moulting stages" The next stage is the sprouting of wings for the largest of the hoppers. We found several of the pests whose wings are out more than a quar- ter of an inch. And when those wings develop, watch otitl As one bearded rancher expressed it: They'll 90, God knows where, but they'll go fast and they'll be hungry as a wolf wherever they land."

It looked like a giant metal hand, white hot, had been clamped down on it. It was lifeless, dead ground. That was the ground that McAllis- ter was counting on as pasture for some of his 200 cattle.
 Must Move Cattle
 The ranchers in the infested areas are talking about moving their cat- tie. They'll have to unless they want a bunch of gaunt, starved an- finals, because there's nothing for cattle to live on. The picture Is no more cheerful for farmers.
 The corn on one farm was up 10 inches. Now you can find whats left of that corn if you dig an inch below the surface. Rye up six inch- es is the same way. Ditto cane and garden crops.
 No Obstacle Too Great
 No obstacle is too great for the hoppers to attempt. They were IS feet up on the side of 8 galvanized iron building. The insects chung for hours to the side of the building, falling finally into crawling mass six inches deep on the ground. They crawl over and into sacks of poison mix on the ground.
 But regardless of what happens, there will be cheerful souls like c. G. Zimmerman, rancher whose place IS six miles south of Hugo. zimmer- man, a pioneer and ex-sheriff, was spreading poison Tuesday. He stopped work for minutes, wiped his brow and said:
 "Durndest critters I ever saw. Why last night left trailer load ed with poison mix standing in the south pasture. When got over there this morning, do you know what found? Those hoppers had moved that trailer clear down in a gully and hid 1t, along with a log chain. Durndest critters ! ever saw!" t.

That's why McMillen and Cool and Warner and Hutchins and his neighbors are working like mad to accomplish mass murder before the marching regiments take to the air.
 Can Travel 10 miles
 It's not pleasant to imagine the destroyers cutting through the fertile lelds of Northern Colorado. But it's not an impossible picture. These migratory hoppers are credited with 10 miles a day--and it's 8 short jaunt between Hugo and Greeley at that rate.
 A spreader, foremost weapon in the fight against the grasshopper hordes, is a trailer-like business that hooks onto an automobile or truck. The top of the spreader consists of 8 hopper, into which the mix Is dumped. Below 1t are blades which revolve with the turning of the wheels. The mix drops from the hopper to the blades and is thrown 40 feet on each side.
 A typical batch of mix consists of IS gallons of molasses, 10 gall Ions of sodium arsenate, 25 gallons of water and one pint of banana oil. (Grasshoppers are supposed to go for banana oil in hurry) Five gallons of the above nectar is added to 200 pounds of saw dust and 50 pounds of bran.
 R. W. McAlylister settled in the Hugo country 27 years ago. He has seen times good and bad, very bad. But nothing as bad as the graSshopper advance. We stood be- side on a rise on his place and looked across a wide draw. z,
 "See that hill over there?" he said and pointed.
 "A week ago that hill was as green as 8 lawn. What does 1t look like now?"

 Horde Marches On You don't write about a grass hopper plague as you would a fire or flood. You can see the waters of a food-the flames of a fire. But standing with Hutchins you could only see the shifting earth and dumbly realize that over that hill and over the next hill and next and next, the destroying horde was marching on-over 1000 square miles in Lincoln county alone, and Lincoln is only one of nine counties in the Grasshopper Belt.
 We saw one ugly picture after another Tuesday around Hugo. We saw grazing land bare of growth as the kitchen floor in your home. We saw yellow fields, representing the sacrifice of time and body and slender savings. We saw main streets of little towns stained with the marching insect troops.
 You ask how many?

THE cAvALcADE or DEATH

When in the boom year of 1929 the
traffic death toll reached the new and
awful high of 10000 deaths, the nation
was shocked-but not sufficiently. Now,
with business induces rising steadily, we
seem to be embarking on new boom year
in accidents. And there is danger that
traffic deaths in 1887 will reach the 49,
900 mark.
Where will this cavalcade of death
halt? When will we turn it back? Sure
~ the American people are adequate to
cope with this social emergency Here we
have the automobile, endowing us with
the manifold blessings of a motor age
Why don't we control it. and retain the
blessings, rather than dissipate them in
death, injury and destruction?
The great irony is that while some
people shrug their shoulders, or shudder
and say, Nothing can be done about il, :"
others are doing something about it, and
doing it very well. 1t is matter of record
that the cities and towns which are pur-
suing positive, planned and permanent
policies of routing out the fundamental
causes of their traffic accident problems
are reducing accidents and chopping away
congestion. 1t is matter of record that
despite the unprecedented number of
deaths in 1886, nineteen states reduced
their traffic fatality records on an average
of per cent. All but two of these states
carried out positive traffic control pro-
grams. Yes, it can be donei
Traffic control is not yet an exact
science. But authorities agree that far
more is known about it than is being APP
piled by the average community. We need
not kill 100000 men, women and children
this year if we determine not to, and if we
put the goal of hating the cavalcade of
death on the list of things to be done
NOW!

PROTECTING THE UNWORTHY

A business man writing in a news
paper in another State recently related
that for thirty years he had watched bust
ness men gang up" against needed re-
form and thus protect those who were dis
gracing their class.
Certainly, when business, ain indus
try or profession harbors those who make
a jest out of service and racket out of
the privileges they enjoy the public is JUS
titled in believing that the business, indus
try or profession defends and approves
those who are unworthy of their toler-
ance.
We have no particular class of peo-
pie in mind but the observation applies
very forcefully, we think, to certain pro-
LESSONS. Lawyers, for example, rarely
make an example of a crooked shyster al
though the public, generally, is convinced
that many shyster lawyers exist and fatten
on the theory that attorneys serve the
courts and the causes of justice.
Other examples could be used but are
unnecessary to advance the plea that men
of all walks in business life seriously con-
slider the obligations that they owe the
public and ascertain whether their as
sociates are, as a class, rendering society a
full value for the compensation received.

HAVE WE ENOUGH In PRISONS?

Major law violations in the United
States total around 100000 annually, &C
cording to an estimate made by Thorsten
Sellin, of the University of Pennsylvania.
This is, to us, an amazing mass of
crime 1t means roughly an average major
law violation for every one hundred citl-
zens of the republic, which is not record
to be proud Of
Minor violations, according to the
same authority, number 100000 with
out taking into account liquor or motor
vehicle violations This is one for every
eighth person in the country, which is en-
tirely too much crime.
The prison population of the nation,
according to Sanford Bates, former direc-
tor of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, is
around quarter of million, including
those in jails and juvenile institutions.
Assuming that the number of crimes
committed annually is about correct and
the prison population is near the correct
figure the conclusion is plain that not
enough criminals get to prison. Maybe.
this has something to do with the great
number of crimes committed

fortunate, forgotten mass. and the
under-p privileged striker.
The short day and the short week
with increased pay are advocated on
the ground that they will put the UNI
employed to work. and guarantee all
working people high standard of
living. AS matter of fact. this mea-
sure would make il next to impossi-
Bile for millions of inefficient. un.
trained and slow workers to get en-
ployment in any field of business.
This. OF course. would cut down the
effective supply of labor tremen-
dously. and give monopoly to the
favored group.
Practically all classes of workers
may find employment under normal
conditions. at the market prices for
their services. But, they could moi
qualify under the high-powered sys-
tenn brought about by the conditions
of the short day and short week. The
demand for high Efficiency and high
speed under such a system would dis
qualify them.
The minimum wage law is urged On
the ground that the wages of all in-
ferior workers. under such law,
would be raised Immediately to what
is called the living wage basis" This
would be approximately $500 "a
week for women and girls, and $1,000
a week for men. OF course, no such
general result would be obtained, any
more than the fixing of a minimum

would enable the owners of scrub

Such law would simply drive the
