For a long time, children of the

VOLUME LXXVII. NO 7

After more than 40 years, the
gift of a once-prominent business
leader to the Village of Marys-
vile is going to be used as the
donor had intended when he gave
it to the Community.
This was revealed with the an
nouncement last week that the
triangular lot at the junction of
w. Fifth and w. Fourth SITS. will
be landscaped and beautified, for
park purposes.
That tract of land was given to
the Village by the late S. N. Nc
Cloud, one of Marysville's most
prominent business and civic
leaders two score years ago. 1t
was his intention that the land
be made into a beautiful approach

Besides being a business leader,
Mr.. McCloud was also a lover OF
nature and firm believer in civic
beauty. In 1905, he organized the
Marysville Civic League, and was
its first president. Bruce B. Gau-
mer, who came to Marysville the
year before to buy The Union
County Journal, was secretary;
and the late ]. H. Kinkade, treas

Dear Mr.. Moscovitz:
AS you are aware, last year Zeta
Beta Tau awarded it's Gottheil
Medal to Judge Joseph M. Pros
kauer of New York City. This
was the first award since 1888.
Judge Proskauer, President of the
American Jewish Committee, was
selected by the Board of Trustees
of the Medal as the American who
had done the most for Jewry in
the year 1916, notably his author
ship of the bill for the protection
of human rights and his RESPONSE
bility for its acceptance by the
United Nations.
You are doubtless aware of the
fact that the Gottheil Medal was
established in 1925 and was the
first of such awards in this coun-
try to recognize service to Jewry,
with particular emphasis on the
maintenance of good relations be-
tween Jew and non-Jew.
Previous recipients of the Gott-
he'll Medal have been: DR.. Stephen

Hopper Threat Worse
Than Last Year
By o. B.
Assistant Stdte Entomologist

Assistant Stute Entomologist
THE CHRISTOPHER adult and
egg surveys which were made last
fall indicate that the graSshopper
in~festation for the coming season
will probably be heavier and the in
tested area will be greater than last
year.
The most severe ~infestation in the
state is expected to occur IN eastern
Glacier county, southwestern Toole
county and eastern Pondera county.
In eastern Glacier county, the sur
veyors found the heaviest egg counts
that have ever been recorded in the
state. In some spots in this area, egg
pods in numbers of well over 100
per square foot were recorded.
The largest infested area is in the
southeastern part of the state, where
threatening to severe infestations are
likely to occur. 1t appears that the
heaviest infestation in this area will
occur along the Yellowstone river
valley and its tributaries, extending
from Saltwater county to the south
ern part of Richland county.
Severe in Northeast
A threatening to severe infestation
has developed in the northeastern
corner of the state. A heavy build
UP of grasshopper populations were
noted in this area last year and the
fall survey data indicates that a con-
tinued build-up may be expected
next year. There are a number OF
small spotted areas in the north and
central parts of the state where light
to threatening grasshopper popula-
tons are expected. This spotted
condition indicates that there is
likely to be a general build-up OF
grasshoppers over the state which
may develop into a serious situa-
ton. Although nj surveys were
made in the western part of Mon
tana, it is possible that threatening
infestations may occur in parts of
LdhS, odltQClc o1io 9ioblASoo Ooh
ties. These are expected to be spotted
and of a local nature.
With the big drive on to increase
production, it is more important
than ever that we do everything we
can to protect crops from grasshop-
per damage. For controlling these
insects, bait will be available. 1t is
still recommended and under some
conditions is more effective than the
new insecticides. 1t is recommended
that control work be started early
while the 'hoppers are concentrated
in the roadsides, field margins, fence
rows, etc.
New Insecticides
The two new insecticides, chlor
dane and toxaphene, applied at thu
rate of l and III pounds of Technical
material per acre, respectively, ar
most effective for controlling grass
hoppers early in the season whel
the foliage is green and %succulen'
Later on in the season when tn
foliage begins to dry up, the bal
will give better results than the ne1
insecticides.
Farmers who do not wish to us
these new materials early in tn
season can protect their crops b
using bait. 1t is hoped that regard
