Most effective counterattack is to spread poison bait, usually a mixture of bran, sawdust and sodium arsenite. Colorado Entomologist S. C. McCampbell has designed a mechanical spreader which. manned by three men, does the work of 25 men with shovels. Some farmers put their faith in the "hopper dozer," a shallow tank about 20 ft. wide, filled with kerosene, which is mounted on wheels or runners and pulled along by a horse at each end. Rising from the back edge of the tank is a screen of tin or oilcloth. At the approach of the "dozer" the grasshoppers leap into...
...come August, the 4th Army, consisting of the troops in the 7th and 9th Corps Areas (7th-Minnesota, the Dakotas, Iowa, Nebraska, Arkansas, Kansas and most of Missouri; 9th-Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Nevada. California, the Territory of Alaska, most of Wyoming and part of Arizona) will attack, counterattack, fire off blanks and gas shells into each other's faces and test a theory that a division should consist of 13,000 men instead of 22,000 now that the U.

He continued giving interviews picturing himself in the same homely light...

Long ago the idea of diverting the river through tunnels was discarded as too expensive and too risky, and cellular coffer dams of sheet steel were built to keep the river out of the excavation area. Three weeks ago one of these crumpled and water poured through the leak. The engineers tried vainly to stem the flow with earth, gravel, brush. Then they thought of volcanic ash. When this is moistened it swells- like oatmeal-to 15 times the dry volume, tightly plugging every crack & cranny. Tons...
...Hershey Chocolate Corp. which refines sugar for its candy on its own plantations in Cuba, hence wants no change in tariff or quotas. When the Babst brief appeared last week, Hershey's P. A. Staples, in Cuba inspecting his tropical refineries, hopped to a telephone with a derisive counterattack to U. S. editors. "For the last several years we have been treated to the spectacle of the domestic refiners masquerading as farmers and trying to hitchhike on the farm relief wagon, although all refiners of sugar are solely middlemen who have no more to do with production than laundrymen...
