Scientific determination

a professional grusshopper exJermi'
nator has visited Sappete county lately
for the purpose Of giving the people there
the benefit OF his scientific knowledge
in clearing the county Of the hoppers.
After making careful examination of
the situation he advised the people to
dig deep bitches with holes in the bot
tom Of them, and drive the hopperB in
before they are old enough to 6y.
II they want to collect ihe bounty they
can then sack them up and deliver
them, and II they don't want the boun.
", they can bury them in the holes in
the ditch. Where they don't ditch
them the man of science says it is prac-
ticable TO drag q brush harrow over
them, or drown them by flooding the
land before they are old enough to hop
out OF the way. Another plan is TO
burn them by spreading straw ovef
them and setting II on fire. Where
the meadows are level aud free from
greasewood" II is said "baloon" may
be used To good advantage. This of
course would be before they get wings,
as il would be no use to drop grass
hopper out Of balloon in the expecta-
ton OF breaking his neck il he had
wings. Professor Ball has spent Ave
years studying the grasshopper in Col
orado and has not yet found out when
they lay their eggs, but he is going to
put in the summer this year in search
Of further light. In looking over the
plans,o destruction recommended by
the learned gentleman it occurs to us
that they bear striking resemblan oe
to the methods employed by the Pho.
neers of Utah SIS years ago, with the ex-
ception Of the balloon scheme.
