Turtle Mountains Arc Not Breedins
Grounds For the Migratory Kind.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Every year
since the invasion of certain Western
states. particularly Kansas and Colo
RADIO, by the Rocky mountain locust, or
Western grasshopper, in the years 1874
and 1878, the division of entomology Of
the department of agriculture has sent
agents into the fields in the Western
states each summer to study grasshop-
per conditions, for the purpose of ena-
bling tho department to predict, if pos
sible, a future invasion, and to warn
farmers well in advance. This annual
trip for the present year has just been
completed and the special agent, w. d.
hunter, has just reported to DR.. How.
ard, the entomologist of the depart.
nent. This years Investigations have
been OF special interest on account OF q
slight outbreak of the locust in North
Dakota and on account of an unusual
abundance of local, non-migratory spe-
cles in different Western states. More
over, a rather large swarm was seen in
flight In early August, the exact set
Ting point of which it is now difficult
to approximate. Earlier in the sum-.
mel a statement was published in GER
Western newspapers to the effect that
it was considered by entomologists that
the Turtle Mountain region in North
Dakota and Montana, probably was q
permanent breeding ground of the de-
structive migratory grasshopper. o
statement which occasioned much alarm
and indignation ON the part of railroads
and other land owners in that part of
the state. This region therefore was
carefully traversed and scrutinized by
Mr.. Hunter, who reports that the Mi
gratory grasshopper does not breed per-
manently in the Turtle Mountains. nor
In that immediate vicinity. The ground
is perfectly unsuited to breeding, and,
moreover, swarms descending farther
east have been traced from far to the
Northeast of that place. The probable
breeding ground, he thinks, is upon the
Assiniboine river, north and east Of Re-
gina-a region which will be investi.
gated next season.

But the college slang which Column
bla has taken under its respectable
wing is merely an excrescence OF the
vigorous but extremely crude humor of
the college boys and girls. For in
