SALT AND INSECTS EGGs. Says Penn

to believe that eggs, whether hens eggs or the
eggs OF insects, after having absorbed salt. will
DO loDker hatch out. have used salt on gar.
den beds to destroy the eggs of insects, and
have fouod that BY so doing have had less OF
'certaiu kinds of Insects to deal with aferward.
SupposlDg this theory to be true. might not
the farmers in the West, by sowing salt on
their land, ,destrty the eggs of the grasshoppers
and perhaps other insects 10 numbers sufficient
to do some good, as to small lots. This would
OF course be iupractlcable ou large scale, or
where salt would he too dear or scarce [ make
this suggestion simply TO Call forth discussion,
and would like to read the opinions of others
ou the same subject. By bringing our ideas to
the light, MAY it not be possible for us, in this
day OF invention and Improvement, 10 fod out
a partial remedy at least against the ravages OF
this destroying insect | said | believed tha,
