incheo IN the soil this becomes impo0'


s. Piswinss s
For this reason It i customary IN
parts Of Nebraska and Minnesota TO
bury the srasshopper eggs by blowing
them into the soil. Turned under byl
the pillow the eggs are buried 80 deeply
that when they hatch the young hop
pers" cannot make their way to the
surface, This is practical and success
full way Of destroying gasshoppers
where it can be applied.
Ditch banks, roads through the fields
and waste places near the fields should
be examined for eggs late in the au-
tumn. An inch Of surface soil should
be sliced OF with a shovel here and
there. II the ground is full Of eggs it
should be plowed before winter. The
rain and snow will then cake the sur
face soil and pack it SO hard that the
newly Matched grasshoppers can
scarcely make their way through.
Spring blowing is not 80 effective be-
cause the soil does not have time to
settle and pack before the grasshop-
per eggs begin to hatch.
Disl<ing and narrowing.
As vast numbers of these insects
hatch out in the fields themselves
where blowing is out Of the question
narrowing or disking must be resorted
to in such situations. narrowing breaks
up the clusters Of eggs, buries many
LOT them, crushes some and scattere
the rest through the soil. 1t is not &C
effective - blowing because 1t does
mot bury the eggs deep enough to de
stroy them all. It can be done either IL

You will place several thousand long suffering

inducing the street-railway company to improve
the service on the North Pennsylvania street
line. The service this line has grown slowly
but surely for the past year. until 1t is
nothing short of outrageous. The cars are sup
posed TO run every nine or ten minutes, but with
the limited number of the line the con-
ductors say it is impossible TO make that sched-
ule except under the most favorable circum-
stances AT the noon hour. and especially in the
evening. patrons OF the line subjected to
waits of from fifteen to twenty minutes. and in
