Grnsshoppers In Minnesota.

Professor Otto Lugger, of the Mime
sota Experimental Farm, is reported as
being hopeful that the grassbopper pest
in Otter Tail County will be exterminated.
So far, he has had good success in
smothering the eggs now in the proper
state to hatch. This is done by plowing
the land deeply where the eggs are laid,
thus breaking the masses and preventing
the young choppers" from reaching the
surface. The dry weather has operated
against full success, and the fall and win
ter were also favorable to the life of the
eggs.
The adult female locust lays its eggs

ties, in cylindrical masses, from half to
