THE GRASSHOPPER'S ENEMY.
Benefits Conferred BY the Blister Beetle on
Farmers In the Middle West.

In the course Of a few wears it may he that
the pests OF grasshoppers that devastate the
crops in the Middle West may be DESTROYED
through the agency Of another insect. This
insect ia the blister beetle, varieties of which
are found in many parts NJ the country. For
merly the blister beetle was regarded "a a
plant pest by entomologists because Of It's
destruction Of beet plants. but II Ia now found
that the lively little shellback has a great fond
ness for grasshoppers and destroys them In
large quantities.
In a recent report of the chronological
Department OF the Michigan State Agricul-
tural College. Rufus n. Petit gives the re-
suit Of his observations Of the blister beetle
that is common in that locality, Epicuuta
cinered In Michigan the beetle appears IN
the latter half of July and is numerous during
August and September. II attacks the sugar
beet and eats the leaves. often causing severe
damage TO the plants. But there IL a strong
case for the defence. Mr.. Petit writes:
All this looks very bad. but when we in
duire into the early history Of the insect, Wa
find a very good record which helps VIZ ma
terially to forgive a part Of the later depreda-
ton. The young blister beetle ~ the vari-
cites noticed here. passes his larval stage In
the egg pod Of one Of the grasshoppers, de-
vouring usually from thirty to forty eggs
after which he burrows a short distance into
the ground. passes through the pupal stage,
and comes out ready to collect pay of the
farmer. All the common blister beetles OF this
region. except the steel blue one iMeloe), have
this beneficial habit. so when we see a blister
beetle eating our crops we may be certain
that he represents from twenty-five 10 forty
grasshoppers literally nipped In the bud"
In this state the variety Of blister beetle that
Is common Is the golden-rod beetle, Epicautd
pennsplr1nicd II Is very common IN the fall
about the clusters Of golden rod and with its
tiger stripes. looks when in flight not unlike
the yellow-jacket. Its fiEht IN far more clumsy,
however. than that OF that painful and vicious
little hornet and 1t h not poisonous. What
damage II does u inconsiderable hereabouts,
except TO the grasshoppers. Entomologists
believe that the culture Of these insects in Iargs
numbers in States afflicted by grasshopper
swarms would decimate the gr~asshopper armies
before they ever crawled out to march, and 1t
II probable that the experiment will be made
on a large scale soon. There IL always the
chance OF the beetle developing into a dest1ic-
tive pest itself, but even so II is much more
easily controlled than n grasshopper army rs
II l. not as hardy ~ the grssshopper and sue
cumbs readily TO poison. A spray Of paris
green and lime kills the beetle. Unless II ap-
pears In great numbers, however, II Is unwise

savior Of general crops on its record "a a grass

The Situation In Cuba.

As far as party spirit is concerned,
Cuba is an apt pupil of Uncle Sam. The
elections for the constitutional conven-
ton will be bitterly contested on strict
party lines, and old Maxine Gomez Is
already working to secure the presi-
dency Of the proposed Cuban republic.
There Is no harm in this If the Cubans
at the same time learn to accept the re-
suit of the election philosophically and
will bow meekly to the rule Of the ma
jority. Past experience, however, has
shown that the Cuban defeated at the
polls Is a dangerous man. who feels no
scruples about starting an insurrection
in order to make his leadership and his
opinion prevail. With every good in
tention the United States will probably
be compelled to continue it's guardian
ship over the island for several years
to come, for this nation has not only
promised independence to the Cubans,
but also guaranteed peace and security
Of property IN the island.

Taos people let 1t be known to the
world that capital for the building OF
reservoirs and the drilling of artesian
wells can find investment in reclaiming
500, 900 acres Of fertile ground in that
county. There isn't a county in New
Mexico that doesn't feel the same need.
Capital, however, looks for immediate
returns, and in most irrigation enter
prises the returns are many years in
appearing. 1t is the United States gov
eminent which should in a systematic
manner endeavor to reclaim the arid
public lands by the building Of reser-
voirs and the drilling of artesian wells.
1t would pay indirectly many times over
the original investment, but as to d.
rect dividends for irrigation companies
who must first spend considerable cap
ital in experiments and in constructing
reservoirs. they would not be so GER
tain the first few years, although in a
decade investors could in many in
stances double or treble their money
invested in retaining arid lands.
