@ | { { | | | ¥ H 4 —— VOLUME 29. No. 24 HOPPERS ARE NOW HATCHING FIRST POISON TO BE PLAC- ED ON WEST SIDE BY WIMER. Grasshoppers, which two years ago made their appearance in countless numbers and last year were successfully fought through the cooperation of the Idaho county farm bureau, have again made their appearance in Tdaho county, but not in such large numbers as two years ago. Little damage, it is expected will result from these creatures if the farmers will, as soon as they are hatched, properly place out poi- son. Frank Wimer while in town Monday, reported that grasshoppers were hatching on his ranch, «and he at once got busy and placed out poison. Since then others have also placed out the poison bate. The following is taken from a letter received by the Chronicle this week from County Agent Ralph M. Pavey: “Larger areas have already hatched out than at this time last year. This week there was several acres of young grass hop- pers poisoned on Mr. Chas. Bour- land’s ranch west of Grangeville. These hoppers had already de- stroyed several acres of grain before they were discovered. A second field was poisoned this week at the Bill Spencer ranch, north of Fenn. Neither of these two beds of eggs were noticed in the fall and therefor hatched out a great crop of hoppers. It is very hard at this time to esti- mate the damage or the number of grasshoppers that Idaho coun- ty will have to combate this year but it will be advisable for every farmer to keep a close watch over his fields and poison the young hoppers as soon as they appear. “The Idaho County Farm Bu- reau has poison on hand which will be available at the same places this year at it was in 1920, people who wish to secure poison in Grangeville can obtain the same at the County Agents of- fice or at the Sheriff's office. “The same formula for mixing grasshopper bate will be used this year, which is as follows: “Bran or course saw dust, 25 pounds, White Arsenic 1 pound, 14 dozen lemons or 1 0z. of Amy! Acetate, cheap molosses 14 gal- lon, water 3 or 4 gallons. In this mash formula anyone who can obtain course saw dust can substitute it for bran. “Last vear Camas County, Ida ho, used 50 tons of saw dust with as satisfactory results as when bran was used, by the substitute of this saw dust, it cuts the! costs of the poison very mater- ially. “Amyl Acetate was used last year by the State Entomologist at the Montana State College as a substitute for citrus fruits. In these experiments which he con- ducted lemons were the least at- tractive and Amy] Acetate stood highest in the list. Amil Ace- tate is a liquid which can be kept indefinitely and used when need- ed, which has a decided advan- tage of being ready for use with- out grating and grinding and can be mixed more readily than fruit pulp. i “The Idaho County Farm Bu- reau recommends the use of these two substitutes in the formula and reduce the cost of the poisoning of grasshoppers. The Farm Rureau also urges everyone in the country to poi- son the grasshoppers so that in time we can eradicate this in- sect pest.” NOTICE TO ELECTORS.

Walter Reid, formerly engag- ed in the barber business in this city, arrived here Friday even- ing from Filer, Idaho, where he . is now residing with his family. He came here after his car which has been in storage all winter, having been unable to take it to| his new home last fall on account of the bad roads. Mr. Reid spent Saturday and Sunday in Cottonwood visiting with his many old time friends and de- parted Monday for his home in southern Idaho via Lewiston, Walla Walla and Pendleton.

IT PAYS. We have heard many compli- mentary remarks from strangers as well as from citizens of Cot- tonwood on the splendid condi- tion and appearance of the public school grounds and the manner in which the lawn and trees have been taken care ofthis spring by J. N. Bledsoe, the custodian of the public school house and grounds. The trees and lawn have all been neatly kept, which speaks well for Mr. Bledsoe and has been the cause of many fav- orable comments, from outsiders, who passed the building on en- tering the city. People, in many cases judge a town from the ap- pearance of its public buildings and homes. The work required in keeping up the home or busi- ness house brings a town much more effective advertising than) dollars and cents can ever buy. It pays. FIVE CARLOADS.

Andrew Sprute and Miss An-)| eelika Gassner were married at the Catholic church in this city Monday morning by the Rev. Father Willibrord. The newly | married couple will make their home on the Sprute ranch near Cottonwood. Miss Gassner about) a year ago arrived in this coun-| try from her old home in Swit- |zerland. A free wedding dance | was given by the newly married couple at Keuterville Monday evening which was attended by a large crowd. The Chronicle wishes to be numbered with their many well wishing friends. ANNUAL MEETING. A meeting will be held by the stockholders of the Farmers Union Warehousé, in Cotton- wood, Saturday afternoon, at the I. O. O. F. hall for the purpose of electing five directors, whose term of office will expire on this NEWS AROUND THE STATE Items of Interest From Various Sections Reproduced for Ben- efit of Our Readers. The postoffice at Sandpoint is one of the first in the state to be supplied with fire arms in accord ance with the order of Postmast- er General Hays in an effort to check further mail robberies. The North Idaho Chamber of Commerce will hold its next semi-annual meeting at Moscow. No date has been as yet, but it will be some time in the fall or early winter. Idaho can not look for relief for excessive freight rates from the interstate commerce com- mission, according to word from George B. McGinty, secretary of the commission, due to high wages. Bee raisers of the Orofino sec- tion report some strange disease is working a severe loss to them. With hives full of honey, and for no known cause, they all die in the stands. One man_ reports losing 30 stands, and others have had similiar loss. The high price of silver and the increase in the price of lead are encouraging the mining in- dustry in Kellogg and many of the smaller operators are paring for extensive dev ment work during the summer. After beating up John A. Kin- near of Henderson, Cal., and stealing his Chevrolet touring ear near Spirit Lake Thursday, two thugs drove the stolen vehi- cle into the town of Priest River, help up the Citizens State Bank and escaped with $1600 loot. The Nezperce Herald says that in view of the disclosures made in connection with the Kamiah Bank failure 99 per cent of the Folks of Lewis county and some of their neighbors are wondering why that $2,500 bond— y 34 The people were trimmed for several hundred thousand dol- lars. C. J. Brosnan, author of the “History of Idaho,” which is us- ed as a text book in all Idaho public schools and is recognized as one of the most complete and authentic accounts of the devel- opment of the Gem state, was today appointed to an assistant professorship in history at the University of Idaho.
