INTERNATIONAL FIGHT ON GRASSHOPPERS PLANNED Batomologists or three western states and three western provinces— Minnesota, North Dakota and Mon- tana, Mantoba, Alberta and Saskat- chéwan—met in Canada recently and organized the Northwest Internation- al committee on crop pests for the purpose, largely, of warring on grass- hoppers, notorious crop thieves. Nor- man Criddle, dominion entomologist was chosen chairman of the commit- tee, other members of which are A. G. Ruggles, state entomologist for Minnesota; Stewart Lockwood of North Dakota and R. A. Cooley of Montana. The entomologists agreed that poi- son bait must be relied upon. One of the formulas recommended for bait calls for 100 pounds of bran, 6 pounds of salt, 4 to’5-pounds of crude white PIONEER ot av— SO NS A 58 4 The Merchant Who Advertises His Wares and Prices is Naturally-a Fair Doaler=Ho Has Nothing to Hide arsenate and 12 gallons of water. This will make sufficfent bait for 10 to 15 acres. “Unless we have a wet June,” says State Entomologist Ruggles, ‘certain sections of Minnesota will experience grasshopper outbreaks this. year. County agents and farmers should ketp a close check on conditions. Farmers should not plant in stubble where the insects were thick last fall. Al such fields should be plow- ed.” v Lifting Power of Air, The 1ifting power of air Is 0.165 pounds per one thousand cubic feet ot air for:each. degree Fahrenheit above the temperature of the sur- rounding air.

PHONE 927 NEEDS TOO MUCH EXERTION Writer Refuses to Go Too Decply Into What Might Be Called “1 and Me” Problem, The line, “Look what I done for you and him and me,”’is good American, but better American, I believe, would be, “Look what 1 done for him and J you and L™ This, however, writes Ring Larduner in the Bookman, brings up a subject to which one ‘ought to be ‘} able to devote a whole volume, but one ain’t goin’ to. One is only goin’ to state that mysterious rules govetn the cases of personal pronouns in our language and one hasn’t had time to solve the mysteries even since prohibi- tion. We say, “He come up to me In the club,” but we also say, “He come up to Charley and I In the club,” or even | “He come up to I and.

The other night I was reading a play script by one of this country's foremost dramatists; and recurring in it was the stage di- rection; “A look passes between he and . So-and-So.” But this playwright wouldn't think of saying or writing, | “She passed he a look.” My theory on 1his particular point 1s that when the common American citizen, whom we will call Joe, was in his last year iIn sclicol (the sixth grade), the teacher asked him how many boys there were in his family.

Sleepy sickness Is quite a different disease from the somewhat similurly named, but far more deadly, sleeping sickness, which is a tropical disease. Sleepy sickness was first noticed In England in 1918, There is little doubt that the cause of this mysterious com- plaint 1s a microbe. The microbes con- cedtrate their attack on the brain, causing lethargy and facial paralysis, the patient lying for days in bed with motionless head and expressionless tace, like a. mask, reminding one of the effigy on a tomb. Doctors are not yet definitely agreed as to whether the hic- cough epidemic and the sleepy sickness are different diseases, or whother the one is merely a symptom of ihe other. Probably the Intter view is the correct one, seeing that violent and prelonged hiccoughs noticed in connection with the outbreak of slcepy sickness that ravaged Vienna in the early part of last year. French Children Make Toys. One of the most Interesting to manufgctories of France is not a fac- tory at-all, but a communal school in Paris, directed by an amateur design- er, who during the war interested the children in the making of toys after his own designs,. which were so orig- inal that there was an immediate de- mand for them.

W. Orr of Hastings, chairman, Dr. M. H. Reynolds and Prof. W. H. Peters of the animal husbandry group of the state univer- sity, met at University Farm April 19 to reorganize the board under a law passed by the 1921 legislature. Mr. Orr was re-elected chairman and J. F. Kuehn of University Farm was re-appointed secretary. Several im- portant changes are made by the new law which was passed at request of the Minnegota Horse Breeders associ- ation. A certificate of soundness at- tached to the waybill, or a state li- cense showing the animal to be sound, must be shown before a stal- lion can be imported into the state for sale or breding purposes. Under the new law non-graduate veterinar- ians are not eligible to examine stal- B AGE. THRER /., lfons; newspaper horse advertise- ments must include the number and class of the license instead of a copy of the entire license, as was formerly mequired. The provislon that the stallion’s owner must file his license with the register of deeds has been repealed. Jacks must be licensed hereafter; mongrel stalllons may be refused license after a period of six |years. A lien on the mare and off- | spring for the amount of the service | fee is provided. The board will issue a ‘bulletin explaining the new law in detail. Copies may be had by addres- sing the seéretary at University Farm.
