evil the grasshopper come again this
year n is the important question asked
again and again this spring, by the farm-
ers Of the great west and northwest. An
examination Of the fields devastated BY
these pests last season and the season be-
fore, viii enable the Investigator to an
swer the question with tolerable accu-
racy.
1t appears that in Minnesota and adj
joining regions there were some eggs laid
by the passing locusts last year. If the
winter has not killed them and II prob
ably has not these must hatch out with
the coming Of warm weather, and the i'm
sects from them may be expected to fly
away with the assumption If their wings,
and alight to fill their greedy maws al
most anywhere in the west
In Nebraska and Kansas there were no
locust eggs laid last season, 50 far as can
be ascertained. This is ali important dis
covery, and would indicate the probable
ity Of year Of comparative immunity
from the plague in that hitherto devas-
tated region.
In Colorado, however, the prospect is
not as fattering, The Colorado Farmer
publishes letter from a leading grain
raiser at Boulder, in that territory, Which
says; The eggs are in the ground, and
we can rest content that ia due time we
viii have struggle on our hands that
win require all the energy Of both brain
and muscle we may possess"
Such is the fear Of these embryo de-
stroyers out there that the Coloradans
are preparing TO put in practice all
methods used for annihilating the pests
al soon as they shall begin to wiggle into
life. Water, coal oil, tar, fire bitches
and fire-machines will be employed To-
this end, experience having proved that
the plague can be averted, or at least
greatly abated, If fought persistently BY
these means.
Viewed generally, there is reason 10 be
hopeful, as regards the grasshoppers, that
the western husbandman viii receive no
serious damage this year. But the advent
Of summer and autumn alone will prove
just how wisely these probabilities"
have been arrived at.
