CRICKET CONTROL N .
BIG HORN IS SUCCESS

Tuo1rty tons OF arsenic and lime
were mixed and used in this con-
troll work. The busting was done
by means Of hand busters some
of which were used from the rear
of a pickup truck, enabling fast
er spreading. The cost of such
equipment and material is ap-
proxtmately $1,000, or less than
SOC an acre.
Similar results have been OBJ
tanned by other farmers Of the
county, where busting was done
properly and at the right time.
Most Of the poison material was
secured through the Crow Indian
Agency, some through the sourc-
es OF WPA and labor through the
Resettlement and WPA Offices.
The cricket control work in the
countv has been under the super
vision of the assistant state en-
tomologist, Harlow B. Mills. Work.
ing with him in the county, O. B.
Hitchcock supervised most Of the
work. Art c. Sweeney was en-
loved through the WPA set-up
to have charge Of the distribution
Of the poison material and plac-
ing of WPA labor.

How About q
County Fair
Expressions by Taxpayers Of Big
Horn County Sought by
Tribune-Herald.

; At a business meeting of the
Hardin Lions club, the question
of the reviving of the Big Hort
county fair was discussed and
while a large majority Of those
present favored holding an an
nual fair it was thought best to
endeavor to get the sentiment OF
the tax payers Of the county on
this matter.
It was thought that a real fai,
not a rodeo-would be a most
profitable and pleasurabde an
nual event that the people OF
Big Horn county cannot afford
longer to do without.
In order to get the sentimen!
of the people Of the county, the
Hardin Tribune-Herald wishes all
persons to write their views K
the Tribune Herald and these will
be brought to the attention
OF the county commissioner
to aid them in making theil
decision. It should be done al
once. because a special levy would
have to be made this year to
provide funds for next year II
was thought that a half min levy
would be necessary.
What is your view?

Younq Women
Goes Beyond
Rosalind Landon, Big Horn County
Teacher, Dies at Seattle of
A Heart Attack,

News of the death of Miss Rosa
lind Landon, which occurred at
a hospital in Seattle last Friday
morning at 8 O'Clock, came as q
distinct shock to the people of
this community, where she was
born and grew to a beautiful
womanhood. While it was known
that she had a heart affection,
from which she had suffered more
or less since a small girl, yet it
had not interfered with her daily
vocation-that of a teacher, and
her sudden demise came practi-
cally without warning.
Rosalind Landon was the only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
w. Landon, pioneer homesteaders
of the Big Horn valley, north OF
Hardin. She was born in Hardin
Aug. %, 1913. She attended the
public schools of the valley and
was graduated with the class of
1881 from the Hardin high school
and completed her education at
the Eastern Montana Normal
school at Billings. After gradua-
tion, she taught the rural school
at Warman creek in 1856, and
made such a fine record that last
year she was promoted to the po-
sition of primary teacher in
grade LA at Crow Agency, a DO
sition to which she was reelected
this spring by the Hardin board
Of education, and it was while
she was taking a summer course
at the University of Washington
that she was stricken.
Her remains were shipped to
the former home of her parents
at Manhattan, Gallatin valley,
where funeral services were held
Tuesday and burial was in the
family plot in the Manhattan
Besides her parents, now resid-
ing in Butte where Mr.. Landon
Is employed in the mines, she is
survived by two brothers, Meron,
20. and John. 10, both of whom
are graduates Of the Hardin high
school.
The sympathy Of the Hardin
community goes out to the par
ents and brothers.

s,o0o Acres Of Campbell Farming
Corporation wheat Saved
On Unit Ne, l.

Results Of the cricket control
work in Bio Horn county during
the past three months is showing
up very definitely in the saving
Of crops which are now ready to
harvest, according 10 Geo. w. Gus
tafson, county extension agent.
One Of the best examples Of
busting, and one in which the
value can be measured in dol
lars and cents, may be found on
Unit 4 Of the Campbell Farming
Corporation. This unit was more
seriously infested with crickets
early in the spring than any
part Of the county. On this unit
are 5000 acres Of the finest wheat
in Big Horn county ready for the
combine with an estimated yield
Of over ten bushels TO the acre,
some parts of which will yield as
high as Is bushels per acre.
Almost this entire acreage was
infested with. crickets that had
Matched out within or in the
vicinity of these wheat fields. It
looked almost hopeless to do any
thing to save it. But, realizing
that nothing could be saved II
no effort was made to control
these crickets, an extensive con-
troll. campaign was inaugurated
with Fred Hodges in charge Of
this work. A systematic plan of
dusting with arsenic poison was
worked out and for almost two
months the spreading Of poison
went on. The crickets have now
been co9nn1etely destroyed, poi
soning is no longer necessary and
