Entomologist Informs Agents
About Pest Control Projects

Urging early preparation and thor
ough organization for the insect control
campaigns to be waged in Montana
this summer, DR.. H. B. Mills, state en-
tomologist at Montana State college,
told AAA committeeman and county
extension agents attending six district
meetings held in the state recently,
about the regulations governing fed
eral-state cooperative activities in the
campaigns.
The district meetings were held at
Billings, MiSsoula, Bozeman, Miles City,
Wolf Point and Great Falls.
A conference on this years regula-
tions was held at Bozeman late in
February, 'Dr. Mills said, between state
insect control officials Of four states,
including Montana, and federal Of
ficials in charge Of the expenditure OF
funds for cricket control work.
This year, he explains, the labor for
Mormon cricket crews will be hired
on a monthly basis and there will be
no relief restrictions. Men hired for
the work will be expected to work from
the beginning to the end Of the cam
paign, a period of about four months.
The primary emphasis of the federal
cooperative activities this year will be
directed at agricultural crop protection
from crickets, DR.. Mills explained. In
other words, he said, heavy migra-
tional infestations In or near agricul-
tural land of sufficient concentration
and productivity as to demand and
Justify federal-state assistance will be
provided with labor crews.
On the other hand, control of areas
Of isolated farm lands or of light in
festations will be left to individual or
local communities. These groups, he
said, may obtain dusting machines,
dust materials and instructions. How
Montana oil and mining journal., 1938-03-19

ever, the regulations provide that these
individual groups must guarantee
proper and efficient use of the mater
ials, and proper application at the right
time for maximum benefit. In addition
they must furnish all labor.
The regulations further provide that
other cricket control viii be carried on
with government paid crews only where
use may be made of natural features to
stop or turn migratory bands. For ex-
ample, he said If cricketS were migTat-
ing in large numbers from uncultiVated
areas toward cultivated lands, 1t might
be possible to send crews some distance
from the cultivated lands, or if certain
streams may carry cricketS some dis
tance from focal points toward culti-
waited land, these streams may be
treated by federal crews.
The federal government viii not
furnish heavy power busters, but any
individual, a group, or county pur-
chasing such busters will obtain dust
equal in value to the busters purchased.
In regard to the grasshopper cam
paign, DR.. Mills urged early preparation
including the examination Of hopper
survey figures, inventory of supplies
available, estimate of amount Of adj
ditional materials needed to make
mixed bats, arrangement for mixing
stations, and an education program
on graSshopper control
Government requirements are very
definite this year about organization Of
the campaign, DIR. Mills said. Each
county must name a county leader and
this leader is urged to organize his
county on a township, community or
pest control district basis.
With early organization, DR.. Mills be-
lieves that Montana can wage the best
campaign against graSshoppers in the
history of the state.

4. If a tick is found on the body,

One of the men as he stepped from

In the winter of 1875 Charley
Rowe an eaxly-day Montana
freighter, started from Fort Benton
with g six-mule team load OF mer-
chandise. The trip was 70 bring
him 10 cents q cargo pound, each
way. It looked like a profitable
enterprise. He made the 200 miles
70 the Cypress hills with his load
all right, but the return was dis
astrOus. He nearly froze 20 death
nearly starved to death, lost his
freight outfit valued at $1,000, his
return load OF buffalo robes and
came a large part Of the way on
foot, undergoing hardships from
which he never fully recovered.
After delivering his load In the Cy-
press hills, he loaded for the return
trip to Fort Benton. Before he got
started, however, two and half feet
OF snow fell. He and other freighterS
there waited for chinook, but none
came. When feed for their livestock
ran low they we're forced to start any
how, for If they remained their stock
would starve to death and they figured
they might as well die on the road
trying to get back.
There were five in the party when
they left the Cypress hills for Fort
Benton, Capt. NelSe Vaueaux, MAUI
Adams, Bill Murray, Jim Cook ana
Rowe. They had 80 horses and mules
in the outfit. Twenty Of the animals
they drove ahead of Rowe's mules to
break a trail in the snow for the
wagons to follow. In 19 days they made
1870 miles. They ran out of grub ex-
cept for one sack of Indian flour from
which they made dough gods"
One morning Rowe sighted three
buffalo on side hin about three miles
from camp and went to see If he
couldn't kill one of them. He managed
to kill COW, very thin. He cut strips
Of hide and bound up pack Of $50
