Wruen barley or. oats are attacked the damage is canse.d by the leaves and heads being eaten off. The worms usually ,come from grass, their favorite breeding place. From this they often move in large numbers to nearby earn or grain, In -many cassia however, they actually have bred in the grain itself, the eggs being laid- .on the leaves. Hence grain may be attacked without an in- vasion from the surroundings. Every farmer should at once walk througb his barley, oats and corn in the ev- ening to see if it is being injured by this pest, and should do this daily until all danger is past.

Barley and oats may be treated in the same way, but If the grain is very thick or fallen the bait must be thrown forcibly in- to the crop to reach the ground, and in such eases even 30 pounds , per ac- re, or more, may be needed.

Pend,elbury, a Lanca- shire youth, reached Calgary after "a pedal hop" from' VanneouVer on the home stretch. of a roonsi-the-world cycle anus On a home-made bicycle, Mr. Pen- delbury left England two years ago. Since then, first crossing Europe, Ise bad .pedalled 20,000 miles by road and travelled another 8,000,- miles by steamer.. He started from London, June,- 1936. - • Mr. Pendelbury believes he. is the first tsecycle around the world since another Englishman, Foster Fraser, made the trip in 1901. He has had his troubles and much adventure. Siam was a toughsspot roadless. For fifteen days- he followed elephant tracks and lived on bananas -and rice. Speaking only English, he found only three words of foreign lan- guages were really essential. "I would learn three' essential words in the language of the country—eets drink, and sleep," he said. After a rest at Calgary, Mr. Pen- delbury will head eastward. 'I told my folks I would be home for Christ- mas, but I. -didn't say which Christ- mas," he told interviewers. the Journey By Freighter Freighter travel is different from any other form of vacationing. The cargo -boat passenger has more priv- acy than those aboard a giant liner, and all the freedom of a picnic in the north woods; more to say about the food than the average residential hotel guest; meals superior to those served tn. the better olass foreign Pensions. 'Accammodations are often lar more modern than tourist class on the biggest of boats. Passenger boats make regular voy- ages from and to the larger ports. Freight boats follow beaten trails too, reaching all the big harbors of the world, but they also go to the lesser- known shores, constantly varying their circuits to follOw the call of car- go. A freighter journey is a voyage of explorition, coupled with the saf- ety of a big ship and the security of a regular route of travel. But the fact that they go places no other bots go, and the rule that trav- el ea th4m is oheaper, are only two of the reasons for the hold one of 'these ships takes on the heart of the sus:tomer. It's not because the pay- ing guest has the freedom of the, sihip nor because he is thrown in close contact wrth the officers, eating withthem, them, playing- with them, occasionally even taking over one of -their cabins while junior officers double up. There is more than all this. There's some- thing about a long ocean voyage, something about the alluraof the sea, the comradeship brought about by sharing things together, braving the elements in a storm, facing the rab- ble at dockside after a riotous shore excursion in some foreign part: there's a -tie that binds the passen- ger to his ship, a tie that binds while, travelling, and that keeps memory bright throughout the years. The pork and fowl had a peculiar taste of grasshoppers. At times the insects were four to six inches deep on th-e ground, and continued to alight for hours. Men were obliged to tie strings around tbeir, trotisers to keep the pests from crawling up their leg -s. The 'hoppers gathered so thick on the tracks that Union Pacific trains were stopped. The rails were so oily and greasy that the wheels spun and would not pull a train. People brought out ebeets and, blankets to pnotect the most valuable crora. Yet the insects ate holes m the bedclothes or crawled underneath and destroyed everything. In Dakota old straw was piled around a field and set on fire; some put a salt solu- tion on the grain, all to no avail. Men with clubs walked down the corn rows knocking the 'hoppers off, but on looking back they saw the Jnsects as numerous as ever. They alighted in such numbers that the cornstalks were bent toward the ground and the potato vines mashed flat. The sound of their feeding was like a heod, of cattle eating in a cornfield. Every -green thing except castor beans, cane, native grass and the leaves of certain trees was eaten. On- ions and turnips were eated right down to the end, of the roots, leaving holes in the ground. Trees, denuded of their leaves and stripped of their bark, died., The Water in the creeks, stained with the excrement of the in- sects, assumed the color. of strong coffee. The cattle refused to drink until compelled by extreme thirst. Even the fish tasted like grasshop- pers. A piece of harnese or a garment left on the ground was quickly ruin- ed. Pitchfork and scythe handles were gnawed so rough as to become uncomfertable to the hands, and the weather-beaten boards on houses and fences were so eaten that within a few hours they looked like new lum- ber. If any �f the creatures were tramp- ed uhderfoot, their companions quick, ly devoured them. They ate the mos- quito bar off the windows and even invaded houses and at the window curtains. The jaunty waving fields of corn were reduced to bent -over denud- ed stalks in 12 hours, and even the large weeds were destroyed. When the insects left, the country was a scene of ruin and desolation. Those who had the money to get out of the country' so. Those who re- mained were largely dependent upon relief appropriations, which, were quickly voted by federal and state governments; and 'supplies provided by, churches, benevolent societies, and relatives in the East. To the clergy, the calamity proved a blessing in dis- guise. It made the individualistic frontiersman see how thelpfless he was ill the face of God's providence, and there were wonderful revivals. There have been other -grasshopper plagues since thealleaster of '74, but none ;which caused such desolation. The terrible nears detenred proepec- tive thomeseekers, and it Was years before westward migration wa,e re- stdreCte its former, proportions. (Condensed from "The Sod -House 'Frontier" in Reader's Digest) Among the greatest of the calami- -ties which a hostile nature visited up- on the pioneers of the western prair- ies were the devastating grasshopper -plagues. Iru 1818 a swarm of grass - }hoppers descended upon the Red Riv- 'et Valley in North Dakota and de- voured all trace of vegetation. They Made destructive raids in '57, '66 and '67. The great calamity of 1874, how- ever, surpassed anything -before or since. On the plains it is shill called -The Grasshopper ,Year." The 'hoppers came suddenly out of the north on an afternoon late in July. -They travelled with a strong wind ; rising high in the air with their winge spread, they were carried along with little effort, and their ravages reach- ed from the Dakotas to Texas. To observers of their approach it seemed at first that a squall might be in the offing. Gradually the sun was darkened by a cloud in the north- west. Presently the insects began to alight, and the cry went up: "Grass- hoppeas!" Tbey came like a driving snow, fill- ing the adr, covering the earth, the buildings, the shocks of grain, every- thing. According to , one observer, -their alighting on the roofs sounded like continuous hail. They alighted on trees in such numbers that their weight broke off large limbs. Chick- ens and turkeys were frightened at first and ran from them, but they !soon identified the 'hoppers and ate them- selves sick. One pioneer reported that a herd of 40 hogs and 60 tur- keys fattened themselves on nothing but grasshoppers and a little hay. "Wrigley% Gant helps you keep fit!

He has probably flown in a plane once or twice before enlisting, but only casually, and has never been at the controls while aloft. On enlistment, he was sent to Tren- ton, and from the clay of his arrival until the end of his "probation"—us- ually a year—he receives $3.59 a day, plus 50 cents a day for meals.

The announcement of the cancella- tion by Public Minister Marquis Kea chi Kido through Domei (Japanese News Agency) surprised the entire Nation, including the Japanese organ- izing committee whose members de- clared the Xllth.Olympaid would, be conducted "whether or not the gov- ernment" supports' it Various athletic organizations and newspapers in several countries have agitated for a boycott of the games if held in Japan but monetary reasons aid military leaders' opposition to a growth of internationalism 'among Japanese were cited to explain the suspension. Prepared To Contribute Despite several previous, indications that Japan did not wholly support the 1940 events, the government had pre- pared to contribute 4,300,000 yen (about $1,250,000) toward the cost. and build a $2,000,000 stadium near Tokyo. Just three days before a squad of 40 was selected for the Japanese foot- ball team and sent to the mountains to begin training. (London and Helsingfors, Finland, had been mentioned as possible sites for the coming Olympiad if Japan found it impossible to be host). The ,cancellation was taken tp indi- cate Japan is convinced the year-old conflict in China will continue until 1940. Japan lacks money and mater- ials for the necessary sports struc- tures. Some Construction Under Way Some smelled buildings were under oonstruction. Foreign technicians had been working for months completing plans. Many athletes had started training, although soldiers were for- bidden to enter the contests. Ceara Michimasa. Soyesiliima, mem- ber of the International Olympic Com- mittee, said Japan might bid for the 1948 games. "1 hope Japan can bid then," he said. "Apparently it is impossible to bid even for the 1944 games, The cancellation was inevitable, under the present circumetances." Formal Cabinet action' on the deci- sion announced by Marquis Kido expected shortly, wihen approval by the regular Cabinet session is con- sidered assured. Actual jurisdiction in the matter rests with Kido's Ministry of Public Welfare and the Ministry of Com- merce and Induktry, which issues per- mits for all imports of steel and other materials which would be needed for Olympic preparations. Seibin Ikeda, who as Minister of Finance as well as Commerce and, In- dustry directs Japan's wartime belt - tightening, has ranged himself on Kido's, side. The army's opposition to bringing the games to Japan was made appal ent in 1936, when the 1940 contest was awarded to the City of Tokyo. At that time Japan had just •been through the military uprising 'of Feb:time 2(-29, 1936, and although the war with China was still a year ahead political tension arising from the army's bid for greater power prevail- ed in, the nation. OLD OLYMPICS TRACK UNEARTHED Part of the ancient running track used in the Olympiads of Greece dur- ing the "Golden Age" of antique his- tory has been unearthed at Olympia. This is one of hoe most important results so far obtained sin-ce digging was begun by the German Archaeolo- gical School in 1937. The excavations, under the encour- agement of Adolf Hitler, are expect- ed to continue five years. According to the project, international games of classic type are to be Celebrated at Olympia once in two years. Their main characteristic will be their com- plete simulation of the ancient Olym- piads, -according 10 Oonstantine Georgacopoulos, Minister of Public Education, In the opinion of the Minister, re- cords of the victors in the games sbould not be taken into account in order that. on the one hand, all the victors be considered as 'Isf equal va- lue, and on the other, that the tend- ency to imitate modern athletics in seeking records only will be removed. The names. of the victors and of their country are to be inscribed in the "Treasury" in a similar way to those of the ancients, which were raised outside the enclosure of the Staduim of Olympia. f ew days to show him the ropes..Be- fore the end of the first week he ,taken up in a training machine—but not for training yet. - He is shown all the landmarks that will be so valuable in , bad weather when he is up there alone. But next day he receives his -first lesson in the art of flying. Soon he is- allowed to "take over" the ship for, a while, with the instructor watching ,closely and giving aim pointers on how to keep the ship lev-el, how to climb, turn, bank. Meanwhile dn the ground he, is learning bow a plane is made and how it flies. In class he is taught airmanship, laws of the air force, armaments and air force administra- tion. After 10 hours of instruction he is allowed to make his first thrilling solo flight. If unable to fly alone af- ter 12 hours, he probably is consid- ered unsuitable for the force. After about 70 hours in the air, half of them alone, he starts "blind fly- ing" instruction. For this' he goes up in a machine with the cockpit cov- ered. All be oan see are the iastru- ments, and by these he has to fly and go through various manoeuvres. Having been made a regular flying officer after passing all tests, he is now ready to be assigned to a squad- ron—and one of the unite dotted a- cnoss Canada from coast to coast. Because Great Britain's, airplane factories are working 24 bours a day to catch up 'with orders from the Bri- tish air ministry, Canada's orders for up-to-the-minute fighting ships cannot be filled readily, as Hon.. Ian. Macken- zie, , minister .of national defence, pointed out recently, but Canada's air force is fairly well provided with training planes. Low point in Canada's flying strength was reached early in 1932, when the government of Hon. R. B. Bennett, for reasons of economy, re- leased a large number of officers and ground crews, reducing the estimates for the flying forces from ,$5,000,000 the previous year to $1,750,000. By 1935 the aie force, practically dormant for three years, was 'begin- ning to make news again. In Febru- ary of that year, when England en- tered into an air pact with France, it was announced at Ottawa that Can- ada would expand its force to the said the small boy to the clerk.
