In 1854, to make transportation of mails across the Western deserts of this country a "certainty," the Post Office department purchased a number of camels in Egypt and Asia Minor for $30,000. The stony surfaces on the deserts of Arizona and California injured the soft pads on the feet of the camels. An unsuccessful attempt was made to provide the camels with specially devised leather boots. The idea was finally abandoned. s . "Robwhite" Ntme for QnsK " j^Bobwhite" is the common nalne for the native American quail, especially Colinus Virgimanijs, or Virginia quail. The popular nickname was suggested by the male quail's note or call, which sounds like "bobwhite," with the «.ccent on the second syllable. In the Southern states the same species of bird is called "partridge," a name applied in the North to the ruffed grouse or American pheasant. In discussing the need for control of grasshoppers, Farm Adviser John H. Brock recently brought out that getting rid of grasshoppers will not only minimize the damage this year but will also largely prevent probable .damage in 1938. The use of poisoned bran bait will give the most effective control in fields where growing crops are located. ^Hopper "dozers1'- are giving good results in small grain ftelds or alfalfa fields where they can be used to advantage. That many McHenry county farmers liave not as yet realized the damage that a'heavy infestation of grasshoppers may cause, is the summary Brock made after making many farm visits relative to grasshopper troubles. -- Fifteen hungry grasshoppers perJ .square yard in a 40 acre field will eat a ton of green feed a day, is evidence collected from infested areas during the past few years. In other words, Brock says, on many of <#ur farms, grasshopper control now will mean more good roughage for dairy cows next spring and lower milk production -icosts. _ Information concerning poison bait fend hopper "dozers'" may be aocared Ht the f»rm adviser's office.

Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has urged the nation to "accept a gauntlet thrown down by more than 4\300,000 persons who have chosen to defy our laws." c*irne army threatens three persons out of every four in our United States, bringing about a succession of crime so magnitudinous tnat a felony occurs every 24 seconds," the chief G-man said. He estimated the nations annual crime bill at $15,000,000,000, or $28,- 500 per minute, $41.040j600 a day. "It seems inconceivable," Hoover continued, "that in a country as advanced as America each setting sun should look down upon a daily toll of some thirty-six lives taken at the hands of the underworld--one such thurder being committed every 40 minutes." Hoover said records of the bureau for 1936 revealed 1,333,626 "majof" crimes in the nation, including 13, 242J murders and manslaughters, 7,- 881 criminal assaults, 55,600 robberies, 47,534 aggravated assaults, 278,823 burglaries, 716,674 larcenies and 213,712 automobile thefts. "In analyzing the cost of crime a little further," he pointed out, "we find that it means a burden borne by each and every individual of $10 every month. Ti0i day is lance on the part of our citizens, who will study conditions and who will realize that there cannot be safety from the depredations of, the vast criminal underworld unless this safety is insured by the combined efforts of all right-thinking persons. "Our citizens must become not only foes of corruption and inefficiency but the strong right arm of the honest law enforcement officer."
