THREATEN
ALFALFA FIELDS

The grasshopper infestation in
Big Horn county is increasing
somewhat and is becoming more
and more a threat to the alf-
alta fields saved for seed pro-
duction, reports George w. Gus
tafson, county agent.
So far very little damage has
been done to the grain crops
of the county, but should the
~infeStation continue to increase,
the harm done to the alfalfa
and especially the seed crops, is
certain to become serious, he
stated.
A large number of farmers of
the county are carrying on a
control campaign by the use of
poison bait which is being pro-
vided by federal and county ag-
encies. "A mixing station crew is
busy at the fair grounds pre-
pairing the poison bait to supply
the need for it. Farmers are ad-
vised that this poison may be
secured without cost to them.
State entomologists recon-
mend a regular campaign to be
carried on in and about the
alfalfa fields where the grass
hoppers are threatening. Be-
cause of the large acreage of
vacant land and prairie, the
poisoning campaign is rather
difficult but good results have
been reported by those who are
using the poison bait, Mr.. Gus
tafSon concluded.

Muil Carriers Sell
Defense Stamps

Thirty = two thousand rural
mail carriers are now acting
as agents in the sale of Defense
Savings Stamps, postal officials
have informed the Treasury
department. Demand for the
stamps in sparsely settled dis
tricts caused the post office
department to authorize the
carriers to act as statesmen.
The stamps range in value
from ten cents to five dollars.
Purchasers are given albums in
which they can be mounted.
When filled, the albums may be
exchanged for Defense Savings
bonds.
Post office officials recalled
that rural mail carriers acted
in similar capacities in 1917 and
1918 selling War Savings stamps.

mond here Sunday.

eighth inning and then protec-
ted their 5 to 4 lead for the vic

third, and scored on a play at

Attend Services For
Cherries E.. Linthucum

l.. c. (Jake) and Wayne
Linthacum left Sunday morning
for Kalispell to attend funeral
services for their father, Charles
E. Linthacum, who passed away
July 10 after a lingering illness,
at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Francis O'Connell, in Kali

He resided in several of the
western states and in British
Columbia. He developed new
farming areas in the commun-
tiles where he lived.
He came to Big Horn county
in 1924 and became interested
in the development of a tract
of farming land on Lodge
Grass creek, where he put in
most of his efforts in recent
years until i'll health forced him
to take a rest from active labor.
He took an active interest in
the promotion and construction
of the Willow creek dam, only
recently completed.
Linthacum was always a low
er of nature and the great out
doors and during the past few
years wrote many nature poems
for western magazines and
newspapers.
Besides his widow he is sur
vived by eight children, Mrs.
Francis O'Connell and Mrs.
Fred Brinkman of Kalispeu;
L. C. (Jake) and Wayne Lin
thacum of Hardin; Keith Lin
thacum of Denver; Arion (Pete)
Linthacum of Seattle; Mrs. Ed
gar Powers of Ballantine; and
