Winter Wheat Is
Threatened By
Hungry Hoppers

Glacier County farmers this
week hurried about the harvest
while the weather was good. In
their concern they were likely to
forget that grasshoppers were
cooking up evil medicine for next
years crop.
Throughout the eastern end of
the county the hoppers were eat
ing their way in around the mar
gins of winter wheat fl e | d s,
which farmers began seeding
around the middle of August.
George Holbrook of the Milk
River area and Bob P e t er o n
were among the callers at the
Extension office this week in
quest of grasshopper poison.
County Agent Larry Flesch as
sures that there is plenty of pois-
on on hand. The hoppers, he
says, can be stopped in the win
ter wheat fields,
Of greater concern at the NOM
ent is the egg-laying. Each fe-
male has now laid from two to
five pods of eggs and will lay
about three or four more. And
each pod contains about 60 po-
tential little wheat chewers to
go hopping into the fields next
season.
More eggs have been laid al
ready than all last year, accord
ing to County Agent Flesch, and
with normal weather three or
four times as many pods will be
deposited as there was last year.
The count will not be made un-
til October, but present indica-
tions can be clearly read.-Press.

reason of its very efficiency and
the power of its incentives it

Are Americans to witness and
to suffer from such a tragic
transformation in the w h e q
Belt? Secretary of Agriculture
Anderson fears so. Writing in
the September Country Gentle.
man, he warns:
What we are doing in the
western Great Plains today is
nothing short of soil murder and
financial suicide"
The World War l story of
wheat and the marginal grass
lands is. being repeated so far al
most word for word-except that
the perils are greater. Millions
of normally dry acres that even
the spectators of the early EOS
were afraid to touch are going
under the plow,
Secretary Anderson is a dry
country farmer and stockman
himself. He speaks with feeling
and knowledge. If the extraor-
binary rainy cycle continues af-
ter production abroad revives,
domestic supplies of wheat will
soon exceed demand. Established
farmers could then be swept
away in the torrent of a vast
surplus which suitcase" opera
tors really created.
If even normal weather-let
alone a drought-returns, says
Mr.. Anderson, the farmers who
have conserved their soil could
be showed" under by drifts of
dust from lands absentee specu-

winds.
How to use this dry-country
soil profitably and safely is no
mystery today. But the specu-
lator has no interest in this. And
he drives many a real farmer in
to mining" his soil by ruthless
competition.
So the problem isn't one of
technology. 1t is one of insist
ing that the irresponsible be re-
sponsible. It means breaking a
vicious circle.

from Hartford, Conn, with Ebenezer
sproat in charge In four weeks OF
tedious travel by wagons it arrived
at the foot of the Tuscarora mount
aims. There, because of impossible
snow and icy creeks, the wagons were
abandoned and snowsleds made.
Piling their baggage and supplies
on the one-horse sIeds, the party
started, single file, over the mountain
ranges by the trail which later be-
came the Cumberland and Old
National roads. The men walked a
head of the sleds, breaking down the
snow drifts. They got to Sumr1lls
ferry February II, 1888.
When the Adventure Galley arrived
at Marietta the first person to go a.
shore was 16-year~old Jervis Cutler,
son of the man who donated the COW
cred wagon to the Ipswich group.
Years later Jervis boasted that he
had been the one who cut down the
first tree in what now is Ohio. 1t
was a sycamore-not buckeye.
Indians Greet Settlers
When they came ashore the pio-
neers were met by party of more
than 10 Delaware Indians, men, wo-
men and children, who lived on that
spot. Shaking hands, the Indians
welcomed the whites to their country
and were very friendly and gracious.
There would be room enough for all,
they indicated.
The chief was Captain Pipes, who,
after he got to know the white men
better, moved his tribe back near
Mansfield and became a sworn enc
my of them. He was active in St.
Claire's defeat and slaughtered white
men until his arm was weary with
the work"
Temporary huts were built of
boards the settlers brought with them
and log cabin raising began, A large
tent was pitched for Rufus Putnam,
who was appointed Governor of the
colony. 1t was. the first Ohio Capitol.
Governors Salary $40 Month
Putnam's appointment was an
nounced April 9-two days after the
group had landed. As Governor, his
salary was to be $40 a month. Six
Grand Councilmen also were appoint
ed-three Supreme Judges and three
Associate Judges. Each of them were
to receive 81 day salary. Thus pol
itics came early to Ohio.
One of the first laws passed Great
ed the Emigrant Association for
membership in which everyone had to
pay the Governor 81 a year. Also
members had to entertain emigrants,
visit the sick, clothe the naked, feed
the hungry; attend funerals, cabin
raisings, log rollings and huskings;
and keep their latch-string out at all
times. Emigrants got 100 acres of
land free.
Another law, on July 2, 1888,
changed the name of Adelphia to
Marietta, in honor of Marie Antoin-
cite, Queen of France. The city now
has 14,514 population.
