POISON GASTO
i KILL OFF BUGS
HAVRE. Mont., Aug. 2— Poison
! gas, sui h as was used on the bnttle
j fields ot Franco in the late World
War. may he released over the grain
fields of northern Montana to kill
jthe grasshoppers which have taken
i a toll of many thousands of dollars'
; worth of grain yearly for the last
| several years, it was stated here.
The most common method of com
hatting the insect pest in the past
has been to leave exposed grain
I or sawdust mixed with poison. One
I chicken grower has been been re
! ported to have perfected a machine
i which, when driven over a field,
| collected the grasshoppers in sacks,
'after which the Insects were drowned
'and then left lo dry. The grasshop
! pers were served as chicken food
'during the winter.
The possibility of using poison
| gas to eradicate the pest Is being
j Investigated by local officials, who
Miope that It may also kill gophers.
[MONTANA LEADS
WITH PENSIONS
HELENA, Mont., Aug. 2.—Commis
sioners of Montana countries are rej
ceiving many applications for pen
sions under the old age pension law,
Montana, it is believed, being the first
state in the union to adopt legisla
tion of this kind. Intemperate per
sons, even though past the age of
seventy, the age of eligibility, are not
entitled to receive the $25 a month
provided under the new law.
The law, it is claimed, takes cog
nizance of a former statute which
required any father, grandfather,
mother, grandmother, children, grand
children, brothers or sisters, in the
i order named to contribute $30 a
! month to the support of a destitute
i person. A test case has been filed
to determine whether the old age
pension law supplants the older
!statute.
