MINNESOTA NEWS.
Hoppers.


Professor Lugger has made his report
to Governor Lind on the grasshoppers in
northern Minnesota.
The situation is much better than ten
days ago, and the outlook for the preven-
ton of a scourge next year is good.
The 800 hopper dosers did good work
Professor Lugger says the hoppers are
being destroyed by two parasites, but
that the only safety for that country lies
IN blowing all the fields where the hop
pers have been located. r.: s--'-
The report also recommends that nom
residents be required to plow the land
they have been allowing to go to waste
after cultivating it for term. This land
is not only great breeding place for
grasshoppers and other pests, but it is
producing noxious weeds, which threaten
to overrun the country. One hundred
acres Of this land will breed grasshop-
pers enough to overrun 5000 acres.
The report states that the southeastern
part of the state is being overrun by
chinch bugs.
The dry season has not only operated
favorably for increasing the number of
chinch bugs, but prevents their success
full incubation with the disease virus.
Lost Money.
Some notable facts are disclosed in
the annual report of Insurance Commits
sloner O'Shaughnessy which is being pre-
pared for the printer. Fire insurance
companies evidently had a pretty hard
year of it as out of Sc foreign companies
that are duly authorized to do business
In Minnesota, not one made money
through underwriting. In fact all lost
money, and were it not for the profitable
investment and the earnings of stocks
and securities the foreign fire companies
would have but little to encourage a
continuance in business in this country ii
the future could be based on last years
business.
OF the 125 joint stock fire companies, Or
ganized in the United States that trans
act business in Minnesota, very few
made any money through underwriting,
and the great majority are to the bad.
The existing condition is occasioned by
exceptional heavy fire losses during 1S99
The first six months of this year have
shown but little improvement and this
year promises to record losses nearly as
large as last year.

We are not opposed to territorial expan-

which can be erected into states in the

to become American citizens. We favor

legitimate means. But we are unalterably
opposed to the selling or purchasing of dis
