An amount of $9,- \660 was suggested as a sum to be lasked of the state legislature for the ‘erable discussion as to’ when these different funds should be made avail- able for use, but it was the sentiment of the committee that every effort be put forth in getting this money ready for a defensive campaign at the prop- |} pe bie Ge tee earl t tnCesprine. There was some discussion, both in} ; : the committee and general meetings, Efforts Will Be Made to as. regards methods of cricket con- trol.

Dr. A. nd, state entomol- ogist, explained the resulting senti- ment of two recert conferences on insects participated in by state en- tomolgists and others in similar ca- pacities from western and middle western states. One meeting on Mor- mon cricket control was held in Po- catello, Idaho, the latter part of Oc- tober. Another session dealing with) grasshoppers was hela in Omaha, December 5th, and was attended by representatives of over 20 states. Dr. Strand suggested two means of se- curing financial aid in carrying out a defensive program against insects next year. One plan would be to ask congress for a special cricket appropriation whereby the federal government would pay for labor and some mater- ials and the cooperating counties to pay for materials, transportation, etc. This plan is outlined on the summary that was mailed to you a few days ago. Under this suggested plan spec- ial camps would be set up within cricket infested areas and the labor would work on a special cricket con- trol project and not under WPA. Un- der this suggested plan a few local farmers and ranchers could be em- ployed on the crews to assure con- scientious work toward the desired result. Some relief labor could also be used, but the work of poisoning or dusting would not be charged to a group of disinterested laborers. The second plan would be to ask Sao for a special appropriation r insect control amounting to $5,- 000,000 and this fund would be re- plenished to such an amount by suc- ceeding congresses whenever neces- sary. In other words, this would be a permanent fund. The administration of this money would be handled by the United States department of ag- riculture through the bureau of en- economical control measures. In most | cases losses and damages have re-| sulted from disinterested persons handling materials. Under Dr. | Strand’s | proposed campaign of cricket control this feature should be | eliminated in the employing of local} ranchers on the poisoning crews. PAGEANT WAS ! GREAT SUCCESS It Was Necessary to Give It Three Times in Order to Satisfy People Children of the Broadus Sunday school gave a pageant last Sunday under the direction of Mrs. R. N. England, depicting the birth of Christ! that was the finest presentation of a! pageant ever seen i stage settings, the ccstumes, the mu- sic and the speaking were such that it was a perfect performance. The first play was given at 4:30 in the aft- ernoon and the church was crowded. The next one wa;.at 7:30 and again the church wget: to see the & pageant, and ny people were turned away who could not get seats that it was decided to repeat the per- formance at 8 and at this exhibition the auditorium was again packed. In last week’s Examiner the names of the young performers were given and The Examiner wishes to congratulate the young performers on their per- fect presentation of the beautiful spectacle.
