Mixing Stdtion at
fairgrounds Now
Mixing Hopper Bait

Recent warm weather has
brought out most of the hatch
of young grasShoppers, and fay
mers and ranchers should pre-
pare to apply control measures
before crop damage is apparent,
N. Al. Jacobsen, county extern
sion agent, warned this week.
First crop alfalfa is now be
ing cut, he pointed out, and
this will cause young 'hopnerS
to migrate to the field margins,
where they can be baited easily.
If the work is delayed until q
new crop of alfalfa appears,
the fhoLpers viii return to the
fields, where batting will be
difficult.
The Big Horn county bait
mixing station, located at the
fairgrounds in Hardin, opened
Monday of this week and will
remain in operation through
out the 1913 season as the de-.
mand requires.
Farmers, rancherS and town
gardeners may secures bait as
needed any week day between
the hours of 8 a. m. and 5 b.
m. A mixing charge of 10 cents
per sack will be made again
this year to defray incidental
costs.
The cost Of materials and
maintenance OF the mixing sta
ton is paid for by the Bureau
of Entomology and Big Horn
county respectively.

over wire services Wednesday
morning, the United States SEN
ate included only the $500,OO0

Members of the local commit
tee who had been making every
effort to get a larger approprI-
alton so that construction could
begin this year, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"Early last fall, the Big Horn
County Chamber of Commerce
received information that the
Hardin project would not fare
well in the 1949 budget bureau
recommendations. Up to that
time, everything had pointed
toward the prompt construction
of the Hardin CYeIloWtail) dam.
Reconstruction work had been
carried forward so that it was
go per cent completed by Den
ember, 1947, and the director
of Region 6 had stated at the
annual meeting of the State
Reclamation association in
Great Falls that construction
would proceed promptly if
funds were made available We
requested a meeting with our
congressman, Wesley D'EWart,
in Billings on his way to Wash
ington for the opening of the
session to discuss this budget
matter. He stated at that meet-
ing, attended by four Hardin
men, that he did not think
there was anything to the bud
get runor that he Hardin prof.
ect was more nearly ready for
construction than most others.
Before the presidential bud
get bureau made its report to
the president and it was sub
mitted to congress, the preS-
dent issued a statement that he
was opposed to the beginning of
construction on any new pro-.
jectS this year because of the
high cost Of construction.

Tips for Toymakers
By Betty Miles

The remnants of housekeeping
the scraps, the empty cans. the dis
carded boxes, the useless spools-
that usually end in the trash are
far from worthless things. With
the spending Of a little additional
money, a little Imagination and a
little time, they can be transformed
into toys that will delight children
Of preschool age.
In its new pamphlet, "Toys You
Can Make at Home" the Bureau
of 1Laternal and Child Welfare of
the District Health Department
presents instructions for making
trains, drums, wagons, pull carts
and other toys that not only are
simple for grownups to make, but
that fit beautifully the needs of the
youngsters. Mrs. Adelia Heiney OF
the bureau, who wrote the pamphlet.
has also created the exhibit Of the
colorful toys now being shown In
the window of the Anacostia Child
Health Center. Next Friday, the
exhibit will move to the window Of
the center at 900 Maryland avenue
NE. and after that at least parts
of it will be shown at the child
health centers throughout the city.
The bureau reports that children
who have seen the toys were de-
lighted with them.
AS we'll as presenting sketches of
the various toys and giving detailed
instructions as to how they may
be made, the interesting pamphlet
also includes information on the
value of each toy, explaining the
needs of the child that 1t satisfies
and its educational qualities, too.
For example, rhythm instruments
are enjoyed by children and the
drum that the pamphlet teaches
one to make meets this need per-
fectly. The drum has muffled, soft
tone which is pleasant to hear. A
child can beat it with his hands or
with a small, smooth, blunt stick.
The muff1ed tone of the drum makes
life a little easier for mother, too.
The drum itself is made of large
tin can "a 2-pound shortening can
fills the bill very nicely, two
circles, 8 inches in diameter, cut
from a discarded automobile tire
inner tube, shoe lace or sturdy
cord to hold the inner tubing taut
over both ends of the can, and
braided yarn with which the drum
is carried.
One of the very simplest toys to
make, of course, is the tower OF
cans pictured. A smooth edge can
opener is used in opening the cans
and it is necessary to see that all
cans are smooth inside and out. It
is not necessary to paint the cans,
of course, but the toys are doubly
attractive when this Is done. When
they will be played with outdoors,
paint Is a must.
A young child likes to fill a can
with beads, blocks, stones, and so
forth, as we'll as to build with them.
Not only will he develop his CO.
ordination in building towers with
them, but he will also learn to dis
tinguish the colors OF the various
cans.
Another interesting toy is that
made of a plastic egg container and
wash bowl shoppers. Each row Of
the container is painted o different
Evening star., 1948-12-10

color, and the shoppers are painted
to match the sections. The result
is peg toy that cost 40 cents. The
top provides experience in matching
colors, and helps the children learn
perseverance and concentration
while playing.
A cardboard carton, filled with
discarded odds and ends that will,
of course, rattle when the carton is
pulled after a youngster, is another
toy that delights very young chill
dren. They love to drag it after
them and to hear 1t rattle. This
particular toy does not have long
life, but it's a favorite while it
