The problem of grasshoppers
destroying ail field products is
growing bigger every-day. Daily
people come to town to tell of the
thousands and millions of little
hoppers covering the pastures.
As yet they are so small that they
do little damage. The grass and
weeds in the pastures may keep
them there. But who can tell.
In order that concerted action
may be taken against this des-
troyer of pasture, timber, and
field crops, R. S. Miller, county
agent, has succeeded in bringing
R. R. Reppert, state entomologist
to Fredericksburg. On Thursday
today, at 1 o’clock Mr. Reppert
will speak at the court house.
The situation is such that all far-
mers and stockmen should come
to hear Mr. Reppert and come to
join in concerted action against
the common enemy. Action
against the hoppers by individual
sections, will be of little value.
It must be concerted action, a
fight that will mean extinction to
the hopper in all parts of the
county.

Dnly Cylinder Grinder Between
San Antonio and San Angelo
F. W. Maier, proprietor*of one
‘of the progressive machine shops
has just added a new equipment
which is rare in this section of
the state. A cylinder grinder
has just been received and is now
being placed. The machine is
massive and heavy, weighing se-
veral tons. Mr. Maier stated
that there are but few of these
machines in operation in this part
of the stace. There are some at
New Braunfels, San Antonio,
Austin, but on the run north from
I here the first one you strike is at
San Angelo.
The machine is used as the
name ind’cates to grind and re -
’ grind cylinders. In this age of
automobiles and engines such a
machine is a necessity. Many an
engine will serve many more
years and with greater efficiency
after the cylinder has been re-
ground. Many people today when
they buy new cars have the cylin-
ders reground,the expense they
have here is many times repaid
by the greater power derived
from the machine with smaller
expense for fuel. Old machines
where the chief trouble is defec-
tive cylinders are made like new.
Towards the end of the week
Mr. Maier thinks he will have the
new machine placed and ready
for service. It will be quite a
treat to see the machine in opera-
tion and you are welcome to pay
a visit to the shop to see this
machine.
