The best remedy is to destroy the eggs or

done by plow ng al land conta ming eggs

and 1857 in which latter year the crops
of the Red river valley were destroyed.
In this year they reached as far as
st. Anthony, near Minneapolis. From
1863 to 1877 there was hardly g. year In
which the pest did not appear. In the
latter year the young lOcuStS Matched In

caught. It takes about 1000 grasshop-

Since 1891, the state has been free
from the pests, but on this point of
freedom from invasion Prof. Lugger
says:
Our farmers cannot expect that these NIL
the future. In fact, our state, or rather
portions of our state, are uncomfortably
near the permanent breeding grounds of
this locust which extend chiefly along the
Eastern Rocky mountain range, from lon
gitude 102 degrees to 140 degrees west OF
Greenwich, and from latitude SO degrees
to 40 degrees north, comprising most OF
the levels below altitude of 5000 feet,
and above 5000 feet. In many portions of
this area they breed every year and lead
an essential migratory existence. This
permanent, breeding area gradually, shades
into subpermanent region, in which To-
Gusts breed more or less frequently, and
which IS liable to be invaded at any time,
or rather. whenever the sects become very
numerous in their true breeding grounds.
This region includes large portion of
British America, nearly all of the Dakotas,

the bottom of this are riveted six small strips

times two hopper dozers'' are fastened to

very easily drawn by one horse. Just In
front of the pan is fastened a piece Of rope
which sweeps the ground few inches in ad-
vance and serves to stir up the hoppers and
make them jump into the pans. In the pans
Is laid piece of CLOTH which is first thor
oughly saturated with water. About a pint
OF kerosine oil is then thrown in and the
upright sheet or sail OF canvas is also

thickest. In short time it is usually par

The slightest touch of kerosene OIL either
from the pan or from the canvas sheet behind
it, means death to the locust, for the oil
spreads over Its body in the same way that
single drop Of it will spread over large
surface of water.
In a recent bulletin, Prof. Lugger re-
counts the visita,tions of locusts to
Minnesota from the times of the ira
ditions of the Indians, when, at one
Period, the grasshoppers maintained
possession of all the state as far east

the northern half of Colorado. Although
Minnesota may be said to be located in tne
temporary region, i. e., a region only peri
odically visited,yet parts of our state are
unpleasantly near the boundary or danger
line, and, therefore, apt to be overrun by
quently been the case as shown above.
From 1863 to 1878 there was hardly year
in which locusts> did not occur in sufficient
numbers to injure crops somewhere. When
not occurring elsewhere they were surely
found in the Red river valley. They did not
breed there during all these years, but sIil-
to recruit the invading army and make 1t
formidable.
The bulletin goes into an exhaustive
and Interesting descr. ption of The me h
CO of deros ting the eggs, Matching and
SO on. This part of the bulletin and in
fact all Of it, is profusely illustrated,
many of thu Illustrations being orig lnal.
Summing UP the point of egg deposit
the professor says:
By blowing the fields containing eggs of
the Rocky mountain locust, we perform two
operations: First of all, we remove the eggs
from near The surface and cover them with
five six inches of soil; secondly, we in
vert the position of the hole containing the
egg-mass, So that z instead Of itsa,mouth
pointing upwards, it now points downwards.
At all events, the young insects are pre-
vented from reaching the surface, if this
becomes compacted by rain and snow. Con-
sequently, if we plow, during autumn or
soon after the eggs are laid, we are safe;
although if we pillow in the spring, with a
normal amount OF rain, we also effectually
prevent their Matching Flowing has this
additional advantage: The egg-masses in
many cases are thoroughly broken up, the
individual eggs become surrounded by earth
and moisture and being no longer protected
by the waterproof coat of dried mucous
desire to get rid of the migratory species of
locusts, now infesting several places in the
state, it is absolutely necessary to pillow
every inch of the cultivated ground through
out the invaded region or all land in which
eggs have been laid.
Some interesting experiments have
been carried on by Prof. Lugger to
demonstrate whether or not young To-
Gusts can reach the surface after being
Matched under ground in plowed field
Out of the eggs which he hinsalf plant
ed in these experiments the following
important facts were developed:
In dry soil the eggs planted one inch below
the surface produced SO per cent of locusts
two inches below Sc per cent; three inches,
81 per cent; four inches 10 per cent; five
inches per cent; six inches, none.
In soil mOistened from time to time, eggs
planted one inch below the surface pro
duced 81 per cent of locusts; two inches be-
low, 43 per cent; three inches, II per cent
none.
Every precaution was taken to plant the
eggs as the mother locust would have had
them fixed. The experiments clearly dem
onstrate the efficacy of blowing suspected
ground.

These are made by thoroughly mixing two
