DRIVE AGAINST

GRASSHOPPERS URGEDFARMERS Next Year Will See Many Insects in Grasshopper Belt Clean-up Advised. WASHINGTON. Dec., 30 There are going to be lots ot grasshoppers during the summer of 1919 in Indiana and other states in the grasshopper belt, according to indications found by entomologists, of the Department of Agriculture and the state agricultural colleges. Farmers are urged to start a cleanup campaign against them right war. Plowing to a depth of six inches and subsequent harrowing during the fall or winter, at any event not later than April 10, will cover the eggs so deep that the young will not be able to escape. When grasshoppers make their appearance they can be destroyed by the common poisoned bait method. But there is another way of getting rid of grasshoppers that makes the pests pay for the trouble of killing or catching them. This method consists of driving a grasshopper catcher through an infested field, catching all the grasshoppers that hop and then feeding the insects to chickens. They can be dumped into sacks and hung up to dry and feed as dry grasshoppers, or If it is preferred to feed the grass

hoppers alive, the machine can be hauled to the poultry yard and placed so that the front will face the light. The insects will find their way out but not too fast for an ordinary flock of chickens. "Thus the grasshopper catcher becomes a poultry self-feeder. An analysis of grasshoppers shows them to be high in protein and therefore good chicken feed. It is known that chickens are more productive when Insects are a part of their ration, and grattshopperR when dried can be used with other feeds during the winter. Plowing Infested Fields. Where it is not practicable to plow Infested field, such as grouds in clover or alfalfa, they should be thoroughly disked in the fall or winter and harrowed early In March of the following year. In Indiana clover and alfalfa fields are among the best breeding places for grasshoppers. The poisoned bait recommended consists of bran or sawdust made tasty and attractive by the addition of molasses and fruit and treated with an

arsenical poison. The following formula is recommended: Bran (half and half bran and hardwood sawdust, or sawdust alone), twenty-five pounds; Faris green or crude arsenous oxide, ono pound, or white arsenic, one anil a half pounds; molasses (cheap feeding grade), two quarts; lemons, bananas or oranges, six fruits, or one ounce cheap lemon extract; water, about two to four gallons ' Tho poison should be thoroughly nixed with the bran. The water, molasses and finely-chopped fruit or extract are then mixed and added. The mixture should be wet so that it molds In the hands but is not "soppy." The bait should be scattered broadcast at the rate of seven to ten pounds to the acre, application being made In the early morning. In clover or alfalfa much material and labor can be saved by first cutting around the Held until there remains a smal central uncut area where the grasshoppers wil have gathered and may be quickly and cheaply destroyed by the poisoned bait. If the grasshoppers are feeding In corn or young trees more water, or better, more molasses and water, should be added and the mixture thrown forcibly so that the particles will adhere to the crops to A A

oe proieciea. Grasshopper Catcher. The grasshopper catcher, which has an advantage over the old-style hop perdozer. is that the Insects can be utilized for chicken feed. Is about sixteen feet long with an upright but curved piece of tin In - front and so arranged that the grasshoppers will strike It as they hop, falling to the bottom and back through a narrow trap opening Into a box behind. The tin front does not extend quite to the bottom, where, just In front of the tin shield, Is a strip of tin placed so tha.t there is an opening about and and one-half or two inches wide. This front strip or lip may be made by using a sixteen foot length of gutter, one side of which is flatened outward. The back and top of the box in the rear Is covered with wire screen, and the top should be hinged so that it can easily be opened and the accumulated grassroppers shoveled out as needed. A horse Is hitched to the extended beam at each end and the catcher Is dragged through the infested area, beginning at the sides and working toward the center of the field. A boy. riding on each horse, can handle the machine nicely. A heavy rope attached to the hames, so that It drags a few feet In front of the shield, is an advantage In that it stirs up. Just before the catcher passes, the hoppers

not otherwise disturbed.

ANOTHER MONUMENT IN THE CATHEDRAL OF SSI JOHN AND PAUL. rOMMEMORATlNG FAMILY. OF TWO

DOG6S VALIE.R, REPRESENTING THE PERIOD OF DECADE.NCt IN VENETIAN1'

It Is Interesting to note In these pictures the monument to the family Valier In the Church of SS. John and Paul In Venice. It is luxurious work made of different precious marbles during the seventeenth century. The three central statues represent the two doges of the family and of the wife of one of them in pompous clothes and exaggerated attitudes. A large drapery forms the background of the scene and Is carved In a precious yellow marble, Inlaid with special patterns supported by cupids, while the Immense columns are in African mar ble. The whole work shows the sumptuousness of that period of the republic which was at the summit of its glory and richness, but had lost forever the simplicity of customs and the faith and modesty which characterized the past centurlts. All this Is well represented by the monuments Mocenigo and Vendramin. Like all other great nations, Venice had arrived at that moment of her history when the enjoyment of life and of great weulth icquired after a strenuous period of

Prospects for Wheat Crop. The winter wheat crop goes into the winter with unusually strong growth and a splendid acreage. Millers are beneficiaries of the program to Interest farmers In wheat culture, and if there is any. virtue In the old millers' slogan, "More and Better Wheat," then we may say that the stimulated wheat production is a blessing. We fear a good part ot the trade, having attained their desire for the production of more and better wheat, now find that blessings do not come unalloyed and that the high-price guarantee seemB to discon

It proves to us that wheat lrn port is a false program and sets at rest the. weak notion , that we cannot produce wheat to meet our fat are wants. We have tried; we have shown; we should appreciate. A wish gratified loses much of its charm and the blessing of big wheat production excites hot little admiration. The real worth of this to the trade will be demonstrated in . years to come.

UILD1NG has been at a low ebb

during the war because all kinds of materials have been demand

ed by the War Industries Board. The embargo Is now raised and all sorts of building operations have been resumed. Employment for returned soldiers Is one of our gravest problems. The National Lumber Manufacturers' Association has opened a Service Department at Chicago to supply all sorts of information, plans and specifications, prepared by the leading engineers and architects of America for free distribution to anyone contemplating building anything from a chicken coop to a dairy barn, or from a bathroom to a bungalow. Some of the pamphlets offered are: Implement Sheds; Housing Farm Help; Grain Storace Buildings; The Preservative Treatment ot Farm Timbers; Hog Houses; Poultry House Construction; Ice House and Ice Supply; Dairy and General 6, Purpose Barns; Your Garage and .How to Build It; Farm Houses: Teachers'

The lumbermen have considered that the most practicable way to give pubUa service Is to help everybody maka good plans and keep them from making costly and unfortunate mistakes. County agents, teachers ot manual training, boys and girls' dab leaders,1 contractors and builders, and especially farmers and suburban residents, are invited to make use ot this service. . - Other subjects will be covered aa the demand grows and correspondence on kindred subjects will be courteously considered.

They no longer need or desire to get food through charity, but, owing to the systematic destruction of their textile Industries, they must still depend to a considerable extent on America for clothing. "The population is underclad." Mr. Hoover said, "and the one direction in which the Belgians are in need of charitable help is in large Clothing supplies to the commission on relief for Belgium.

No Earlier Discharge for College Men in Army WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. College youths in the army will be discharged no sooner than any other troops, the war department has ruled, according to a letter received by Senator New from Frederick P. Keppel, third assistant secretary of war. Many parents in Indiana had written asking that their sons be discharged immediately, so that they could start to college for the winter term along with the other students. In his letter to Senator New Mr. Keppel said he had taken up the matter with Secretary Baker and that the latter had sent him the following memorandum on the matter: "I have thought as hard about this as I can, and am clear that if we were to make favored class of the college boys, by directing, their preferential demobilization, it would cause grave criticism and dissatisfaction throughout the country. The progress of demobilization is already rapid, the number per week being about 140,000, and it will increase eo that before very long we will have all of the men now in camps in this country out. I think under all the circumstances, it would be unwise to attempt the project herein recommended." . : .",f Pershing, Ind. T

FOR INDIGESTION,

In Metnoriam

At the sunset hour of a well-spent life it is surely fitting that those who have known us best shall come with honest words, tenderly spoken, of the wisest and truest paths our footsteps have followed. Augustus Scott lived a long life of fidelity to business, which he always honorably pursued and transacted; being ever kind and just to his employes, thereby winning their regard and esteem. Our friend was very careful of the interests of his family, and tender and affectionate in his care for their welfare. Not given to seeking the praise nor blame of his fellowmen, but pursuing steadfastly what he deemed to be just and right, in all his relations with them ; he merited and received much esteem, and small censure from those who made his lifelong contact. We feel that no finer thought can abide with those who remain when a loved one goes from us. than is found in these words: "He was esteemed by all, appreciated by many, loved by those who knew him best." , With these thoughts we laid to rest the "empty seashell beside life's wide, storm-tossed ocean," on Saturday, Dec. 28, 1918. The funeral services consisted of consoling songs and brief addresses by the ministers in charge of Reid Memorial and Friends Eighth Street churches, of Richmond, Indiana. The pall bearers were George Eggemeyer, Charles McGuire, John Brown of Elyria, Ohio, Dudley Elmer, Rutherford Jones and Frank Hodgin. r .
