Prof. Bruner. Employed by tho Argentina Re-
public to Destroy Its Insects. Makes Report.
From the Nebraska State Journal.
A letter received Saturday from Prof. Law
renee Bruner, now in Argentine Republic, says
that tho Merchants Committee there wishes
him to put in six months in addition to the year
he contracted for to study the locust plague
and devise remedies.
In the Buenos Ayres Herald OF Dec. "a ap-
pears an article taken from Prof. Burners pre-.
Some extracts are given to show what the
American scientist has accomplished in his inn
porIant work:
carried on by the Government commissions
during the past four or five months has been
tons have been destroyed as near as can Judge
from the reports placed at my disposal. Al:
lowing 100000 insects to the ton, this would
cient to cover 400 square miles OF surface 80
thickly that there would be ton locusts on each
square yard. II in estimating we allow one
half 10 be female and each female to have de.
posted 100 eggs, then sufficient locusts have
been destroyed to have covered a possible 10000
square miles. To, this destruction of winged
insects, we must add at least 10000 eggs that
have also been destroyed.

or grasshoppcrs that arc showing u tendency to

my notice.
From the study OF the habits OF the locusts.
Prof.. ,Bruner has recommended that the destrnc.

just hatchei, as they then pile up about
roots OF, plants on the ground. Wire brushes.
whips, fails. paddles, and shoyels arc quite ef.

lhe professor also says that The natural enc

and heetles-.must also be encouraged and not
destroyed. The professor Is also experimenting
