MAY GIVE IRISH fc.NULAWD FREE MO ,RS (GIVING HOSTILE I»LANi «R8 CHANGE TO RUN OWy AFFAIRS. London, July 23.—The British government is now considering the most amazing, the most astounding proposition for dealing with the Irish question that has ever been placed before il. It is a scheme for the com plete diplomat ic and governmental isolation of the entire island. In other words, every vestige of British control, either military or govern mental, would be withdrawn at once from the island and the Irish them selves would be left to sink or swim in an endeavor to work oift their own salvation. It was authoritatively said Tues day that among several propositions which are now being considered this one has received unusual attention. Under the scheme as presented bv diplomatic leaders Kngland would not recognize the independence of Ireland, and would take measures to prevent any foreign governments from becoming involved in the Irish attempt to set up their own govern ment and put It into operation. An announcement probably would be made at the outset that the recogni tion of the Irish republic would be considered an unfriendly act. In the final analysis the scheme means the severing, temporarily at least, of every official mooring now .holding Ireland within the British empire, if the military forces were withdrawn supplies and ammunition would be left in Ulster. It is believed that the Ulster men have sufficient forces of their own to defend themselves against the south of Ireland and to establish their own government which would continue to be affiliated with the em pire. On the other hand, Bonar Law re ports that the government is taking under consideration at the same tinft* as this novel proposal other schemes for strengthening the present legal and judiciary structure of British rule in the island.

Brookings# July 23.—In poisoning grasshoppers, the larger the area treated the more lasting will be the results, suggests A. L. Ford, exten sion entomologist at State college. Where a single individual in an infested area poisons, he is constant ly at the mercy of his neighbor's hoppers which will advance on his field after he has poisoned and ne cessitate repoisoning from time to time. On the other hand if all the farmers in this infected area'poison, this will not happen. This is but one argument for organized grass hopper poisoning. Materials for making poison bran mash are rather expensive this year. Where these are purchased in small amounts the cost is always much higher than where purchased in larg er quantities. Because of this an infested community can treat its fields for grasshoppers much more cheaply if the farmers will go in to gether and make one large order. While arsenic can be purchased for mfrom 10 to 15 cents per pound cheaper in 100 pound lots than in lots of a few pounds each, the same is true with black strap molasses. When it is seen that grasshoppers are present in perUuig numbers on a farm, the farmer concerned should get in touch with his neighbors. If they also have a serious infestation the county agent should be called and informed of the seriousness and ex tent of the infestation and asked for some sort of an organization meet ing i» the community.

This effort deserves the as sistance of every coal operator in the country." o Lights Match To Inspect Gas Lemmon, July 23.—L. C.
