for upon the best methods of Kidding the
country of the periodical visitation OF
loousts and also to prevent, so far as
possible, their rayages. Tothis end tho
most eminent entomologists ofthe West
were invited. The conclusions reached
were published in the Prairie Farmer at
that time,
The secretary of the interior, acting
upon the request made by this conven-
ton, that commission of experts be
appointed by tho general government
to investigate the habits of the locusts
in their native haunts, or original
breeding places, in the far West, has
designated the following gentlemen as
members of the locust commission Pro
fessor G. v Riley, State Entomologist Of
Missouri; Professor Cyrus Thomas,
State Entomologist of Illinois, and Pro-
fcssor A. S. Packard, Jr,, of Massachu.
Sets editor Of the American Naturalist.
Mr.. paokark will, it is understood, be
the secretary of the commission. The
commission will have its headquarters
at Washington, and a western Office at
st. Louis.
The work it is expected will be di-
vided, Prof Riley taking the east of the
mountains and south Of the fortieth
parallel; Prof. Thomas, the country
north of the fortieth parallel TO the
British American line, excepting Mon>
tanG and Prof. Packard, Montana
Territory, Idaho and Utah. Two prin-
cipal objects of the commission will be
to ascertain what agency can be brought
TO bear in the destruction of the eggs
in their natural breeding places.
It's supposed that British America is
one of the most prolific of the breeding
grounds of the locust. If So it is to be
hoped the dominion Of the home gov
eminent will cooperate with the United
States, in the endeavor TO extirpate
thispest of the trans-Mississippi region.
