Purple Top Damage
Expected This Year

Damage to Big Horn county
potato crops from purple top
may be expected this year ac-
cording to Don Pletsch, ento-
mologist from Bozeman, after
making a survey of the county,
accompanied by George W. Gus
tafson, county agent. They in
spected potato fields for the in
festation of the yellow psyllid,
an insect which is considered to
be the cause of purple top. Mr.,
Pletsch reported a rather heavy
i~nfestation of this insect in
some areas of the county.
Purple top may be checked
and controlled effectively by the
use of lime sulphur spray ap-
piled in advance, and the en-
tomologist said that now is the
time to apply it unless spraying
has already been completed.
Lime sulphur is applied with
a Sprayer. The most effective
sprayer is one that will provide
a rather high pressure. However,
the three gallon garden sprayer
has been found useful. Lime sui
phur spray is prepared by add
ing one pound of lime sulphur
to eight gallons of water or five
pounds of lime sulphur to 90
gallons of water. It may be nee
esSary to make two or three ap-
plications of this spray" Mr.
Pletsch stated.
Zinc arsnite added to the
spray at the rate of one pound
to IS gallons will control the
flea beetles or Colorado pota-
to beetles. The nozzles should be
placed so that the spray will be
applied to the underside of the
leaves as we'll as the top. It is
necessary to thoroughly saturate
with a fine mist the underside
of the leaves as we'll as the up
per parts of the plant" he con-
tinued.
Lime sulphur is made avail
able to the farmers of Big Horn
county at cost and may be Sc
cured through the county ex-
tension office. Further informa-
ton regarding the control of
purple top in potatoes may be
obtained at the county agents
office.

intersections
To Be Improved

Mayor Carl Rankin announced
today that the city council is
considering the matter of re-
lieving the unsatisfactory con-
ditions at many of the street
intersections in the new paving
district north of Third street
Drainage is not ample to care
for the rain water that collects
in these spots.
Rankin stated that it is be-
lieved that concrete dips about
eight feet wide from curb to
curb across the affected areas
will materially care for the
matter and at the same time
eliminate the tearing up of the
paving by autos rounding the
intersections.
The city will pay for the i'm
provement. These dips will be
slight in depth and will not in
terfere with ordinary traffic, he
stated.

Many tons of grasshopper bait
is being spread every day to
check the grasshopper infesta-
ton In this county, George w.
Gustafson, county extension ag-
ent, announced this week. The
infestation of grasshoppers,

creasing with warmer and dry
er weather, he said.
A mixing station has been set
up at the county fair grounds
at Hardin where grasShopper
bait is now available to anyone
who wishes to check the harm
to growing crops caused by this
menace. MI. GuStafSon recon-
mended that the bait be spread
on the alfalfa fields after the
first crop has been removed, and
around the edges of grain fields
into which the grasshoppers
seem to be moving at this time.

ogy and Plant Quarantine and
is made available to farmers
without cost through the coop
Grafton of the state and county
agencies. No charge is made but

CITY OF HARDIN BUYS Street
SWEEPER AT SPECIAL MEETING
Sealed Bids For Machine
Are Opened Wednesday
Night Here

AT a special meeting of the
council held Wednesday night
in the city hall it was voted to
accept the bid of the Austin
Western machinery company OF
Billings for a mechanical street
cleaner.
The machine purchased is the
cleaner that has been used as
a demonstration in Hardin Tor
the past month. Cost of the new
outfit was S. $4,000 or $3.50 less
than a new machine, 1t was
stated by officials. The sweeper
carries a new machine guaran-
tee and is fully equipped with
two rear brushes and two new
gutter brushes and a device for
refilling brushes as they wear
out. The life of a set of brushes
is estimated at $50 miles before
refilling is necessary, it was
announced. .,
A check-up by city officials
showed that IL blocks can be
cleaned on both sides in one
and one-half hours with one
man operating the sweeper and
one man on a pickup truck:
Picking up the dirt instead OF
washing it away will tend to
open the storm sewers that have
caused trouble due to excess de-
bris and refuse, it was stated.
1t was learned that the street
department will set up a regular
schedule of operations early in
the mornings when traffic is at
a minimum.
