' This is the judgment of Dr. John I. Hardy of the United States Department of Agriculture, fiber technologist of the bureau of animal industry, who has been seeking to develop a rapid and inexpensive test for the density of fleece and for clean wool yield. The procedure consists in shearing, with clippers, a swath of wool 1 inch wide and 4 inches long from the side of the sheep, weighing the sample, it by the ordinary process, and weighing it again. From the difference between the two weights, the percentage of yield of clean, dry wool can be computed for the sample. This percentage, when applied to the weight of the fleece, shows approximately hew much clean wool the fleece will yield. This information is of practical value in selecting breeding animals. The wool sample Is taken from a measured area of skin and furnishes the basis for calculating the weight of clean, dry wool per square inch of skin surface as an expression of the density of the fleece. dry-cleani- ol dry-cleani- dry-cleani- Farm Population Gaining Estimates by the United States bureau of agricultural economics indicate that the farm population of the country will be 32,000,000 by the end of this year. The net gain in farm population in 1930 and 1931, plus the gains that are believed probable last year, will more than offset the decrease of approximately 1,500,000 people in the farm population from the years 1920 to 1930. Farm population reached its peak In 1910, when the figure given by the census bureau was 32,077,000. , I How Badger Hides The badger, night prowling animal, if disturbed in the daytime, tucks its head and feet under its body to hide. v EXCHANGE (MUTT RUT CRICKS ( POULTRY SOPPLIES Exchanged for.

Briefly told for Busy Readers In- The prospects for damage . from grasshoppers over the Infested area as a whole are much less alarming than they were a year ago, according to the results of the 1932 survey of grasshopper conditions reported by the bureau of entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture. Only North Dakota shows an increase in the number of eggs in the ground over the number deposited in the fall of 193L If the weather this spring and early summer happens to be favorable for grasshopper growth, howmilever, more than five and lion acres In eight western states may need applications of poison bran to save cereal and forage crops from wholesale destruction by the hoppers. Detailed surveys in with state entomologists of the areas where the 1932 grasshoppers laid their eggs show that a big hatch may be expected in six counties in Colorado, 10 in Idaho, 55 in Minnesota, 23 in Montana, 42 in Nebraska, 50 in North Dakota, 48 in South Dakota, and four in Wyoming. The number of acres in these states that may need poisoning ranges from 30,000, with an estimated cost of $3,750 for material, in Colorado, to 3,084,736, with an estimated cost of $385,450 for material, in North Dakota. Grasshoppers gained a firm foothold in the hay and grain fields of the West in 1930 and 1931, when the hot, dry weather provided conditions Ideal for the hoppers and unfavorable for the disease and parasites that serve as a natural control of this pest. The infestation expected in 1932 from the millions of eggs laid in 1931 failed to reach serious proportions over much of the area threatened because the weather early in the season was cold and damp. Where the weather favored grasshopper growth many farmers assisted by states or counties took advantage of the warnings broadcast by entomologists and spread the recommended poison bait over their fields in time to destroy the young hoppers. one-ha- Sally Sez Intermountain Hews Kail h mcmi. ; THIS WEEKS PRIZE STORY BUY INTERMOUNTAIN Money sent away for merchandise MADE OUTSIDE OF THE INTERMOUNTAIN is put out of borders, AUTOMATICALLY CIRCULATION, as far as ever again benefiting a resident of the INTERMOUNTAIN i country!
