Field,____.__vBakersfield, Calif. ~ Against Hopper Invasion State Not Decreasing Erop Acreage There is no indication that tough labor and equipment problems this season are causing North Dakota farmers to reduce their small grain plantings, according to H. W. Herbison, farm labor program su- pervisor for the NDAC Extension sdrvice. In fact, he says, reports from counties show farmers have made' good use of favorable planting wea- ther and are trying their best to meet the acreage goals set for them under 'the war food program. Herbison believes this is being done with the confidence gained in 1943 when townspeople and schools demonstrated by their help in the harvest fields that they would permit crops to go unhar- vested. No other factor in the suc- cessful 194_3 harvest season was more important than the help from theSe sources. Business and civic organizations in many towns, Her- bison notes, already are preparing plans to heIp with the 1944 har- vest. This cooperation from towns is encouraging farmers to plant to the limits of their war food goals. Typical of the way food produc- tion has become a community re- sponsibility is a report from t~um county where farmers at a recent county meeting said they thought they could get their crops planted, but schoOt~ are standing ready to suspend for a week or two to re- lease students in case of emer- gel~-'Y, and town residents are ready to help when needed. Farm meet- ings have been arranged in the co0nty to inform residents on the labor situation, to stimulate oo- oI~rataoti among farms in exchange of labors and machines, and to bring about wider use of labor ,saving equipment and methods. V------- TBUCKERS SHOULD 8END CERTIFICATE TO BOARD After May 1st ap01icatlons for trUCk rations for this quarter will Grasshopper control plans for this season have been started in 21 counties of the state by the county commissioners signing agree- ments with the Federal Grasshop- per Control office for cooperative work, according to Dr. F. Gray Butcher, state control leader. But- cher is entomologist of NDAC Ex- tension service. Counties which have signed agreements iclude: Adams, Barnes, Billir~s, Bowman, Burleigh, Cans, Dickey, Dunn, Emmons, Golden Valley, Hettinger, I~Moure, Mc- Intosh, Mercer, Ransom, Richland, Sargent, Stark, Stutsman, Traill and Williams. "In addition to this action, sev- eral counties have held meetings with township supervisors to or, ganize community committees to assist in control work ff it becomes necessary," Dr. Butcher points out. '"These committees will discuss the local grasshopper problems with local farm operators', and aid in spotting early infestations as ti~e hopper eggs hatch. Arrangements for securing grasshopper bait when it is needed are being set up. Early baiting of young hoppers is recom- mended as the most effeetlve con- trol measure." The grasshopper egg infestation is most severe in the south half of the state. ! No reports of grasshopper eggs1 hatching had been receiVed by mid-I April, according to Butcher. Itow"1 ever, hatching of these eggs can] be expected within a few weeks if warm weather is obtained. Xr SPRING FEVER Many people have languid feel- ings at this time of year, and give it the name of spring fever. They perhaps feel tired after their win- ter of work, and long to play and loaf and wander around on foot or in their cars, and take time off for favorite pastlfiaes. Some industrious old timers may say this is just laziness, and un- willingness to work. It seems dif- ferent from that. The human body feels the need of relaxation, and the mild airs of spring give a kind of let-down feeling after the In- vigorating air of winter. This is a world of work, and if the spring fever is not too acute, it is usually conquered by the necessity of turn- ing up at the usual working place, and doing our customary stunts. V- An investigation of the wool situation by. Congress is in pros- pact. Commodity Credit Corpora- tion, a New Deal agency, purchased most of the 1943 wool clip in the United States and is holding twice the normal carry-over of wool• Despite this condition, Defense Supplies Corporation, another New Deal agency, continues to buy wool from abroad. Perhaps there's a good reason. Members of Congress are curious to know what it is-- and so are U. S. wool growers. GREAT FALLS MINISTER TO CONDUCT MEETINGS HERE Rev. A. V. Howla~ Ray. A. V. Howland, superinten- dent of the Montana C0nfere~ce of the United Brethren denomina- tion, will bring a series of messages at the local United Brethren Church, beginning next Sunday morning. He will speak at special services every night except Satur- day for two weeks, closing on Fri- day, May 12. Rev. Howland is a graduate of, and for some years was field representative of, York College, York, Net). He has made an enviable record as a pastor, both in Colorado and in Great Falls, Mont., and has a challenging mes- sage for present day conditions. The services, which will begin at 8 o'clock each evening, are oPen to the public, and all are invited to attend. Too Much Heat In Brooder House Has Poor Results Better success in brooding" chicks is obtained when temperatures un- der the brooder are properly reg- ulated and not too high• This is pointed out by J. Earl Cook, NDAC Extension service poultry agent, who says chicks need a temperature of 90 degrees at the edge of the hover when they are first put into the brooder. After ;we or three days at 90 degrees, drop the temperature at a rate of~ 1 degree a day, which will bring the temperature down to about 70 degrees when chicks are three weeks old. Cook advises against heating the entire brooder house to a uniform temperature. Fix some sort of a curtain around the outer edge of the hover• This will provide a /variety of temperatures and enables the chicks to get away from the heat. Also let the chicks run out- doors by the time they are 10 days to 2 weeks old. Don't pmuper chicks after the first week ca- 10 days. If they can get from the warm brooder to the colder part of the house and, in turn, outdoors, they are much more active, feather .better, grow better and eat better. --.V~ Bles~ on thee, little hen thou hast satisfied my yen for thy pro- duct, fried and poached; golden hen-fruit, unapproached when the article is rare, pleases at a dime a pai~. ,Three Britons Sn atr -ed From Davey Jones: CONVENTION TO have to, be cleared through the IN BEACH ! district ODT office, before the War e Womens' Missionary Federa'[sue any gasoline.

"Almost two-thirds of all rural townships of the state have been canvassed," says B. E. Grooms, GNDA secretary, and designated as a member of a committee nam- ed at a state meeting early last winter to conduct a state survey, especially to secure information for the guidance of the state legisla- ture, post-war planning .organiza- tions, and the state administration. The North Dakota state legisla- ture passed a resolution of appre- ciation of the service which brought to theemembers direct information as to desires of service men in regard to land ownership after victory. "The contribution the Greater North Dakota Association is "through furnishin~ this reliable statistical data upon which to build our future land policy for the returned soldier is one of in- estimable value," writes Governor John Mo~es. "I want to thank you sincerely for undertaking this great Job," Governor Moses writes secretary Groom. "I trust you will be able to bring it to completion, or as near completion as circumstances will permit. I Would like to thank individually each one of the town- ship workers who have given of their time and effort to make the on-the-ground survey as complete as it is, but I will have to do this through you and the Greater North Dakota Association. It is a splen- did Job." And Governor Moses signed Sen- ate Bill No. 3 which requires state departments to retain farm land retained by the sta~e and its sub- divisions for returning service men until July 1, 1945, or until after the regular legislature session has been able to adopt a more comprehen- sive land-for-veterans program. Mr. 'Groom is especially grateful for the splendid cooperation given by county auditors and chairmen of board of commissioners to GNDA county directors in practi- cally all of the 53 counties. Returns are still coming to the office of GNDA, where on special blanks, results are tabulated much in the manner election returns are handled. Deep snow interfered in some sections, and the canvass was de- hayed by sickness and absence in others. "However," Mr. Groom says, "we feel that we have ~t re- markably accurat~ cross section picture of the entire state. There is nothing to indicate any material change, except increased totals, if every man in every township had been reported." The summary below gives an opportunity to compare the results of the survey in six townships in Golden Valley county with the totals obtained in the statewide survey: QUESTIONS Co. Stata 1.
