As a base either bran or a mixture of bran and sawdust can be used. Make the following bait and scatter in strips, in the forenoon before the sun comes up, in the districts infested. T 100 pounds of bran 4 pounds white arsenic 4 teaspoonf ulls of amylacetat (banana oil) 10 quarts of sugar beet syrup 4 to 5 gallons of water Make the mixture moist (not wet) so it will broadcast well. Grasshoppers have definite breeding grounds", plow a deep furrow around them and bait the furrow and infested area. If this is done the hoppers will not get scattered out among the crops. Unless heavily infested, only approximately ten pounds of bait per aero is necessary. . . , The digestive system of hoppers respond to poison very slowly, so do not look for results until about seventy-two hours after the poison has been scattered.

Representatives of most of the towns of the valley were present and discussed at length this question which has taken a promi nent place in the minds of the people. The value of music in the district schools was discussed and authority quoted to prove that much of the school delinquency was avoided where a school band was had, and that in many districts all over the state bands had been established for many years. The meeting expressed the sentiment of the inequality of the two schools with respect to music and other things and quoted board members, who made statements with respect to the two comenceent programs and the music rendered at each, showing a need of more training along this line. The question of taxes and economy were discussed, which showed the sen timent of the gathering was that the sincerity of the board members could rightfully be questioned along this line when a number of things were shown whereby economy could be prae ticed without the sacrifice of educa tion and training and pointed out the boards action with respect to the su- pertendent's salary, as well as those whose wages remained the same when it is known by everyone that every farmer, rancher and business man in Box Elder County has had his earnings cut in two and perhaps even lower and felt that in the, face of these facts there is no good reason why an instructor shouldn't be paid from the tax money of the school.
