Grasshopper Disease

A few years ago a great deal was writ
ten for the papers about a certain dis
ease which kills grasshoppers. Nearly
every farmer or fruit grower has at one
time or another seen the dead grasshop-
pers clinging to the tops of sweet clover
or other plants about their fields.
A few years ago the Colorado expert
ment station sent out about four hun
dred cultures of this disease to be tested
by the farmers who desired to use it IN
their fields. The station also expert
mented quite extensively with it upon
the college farm and in the surrounding
neighborhood. A few of the reports
that came in from farmers would indi-
cate that the disease had done great good
by killing grasshoppers. Nearly all the
reports, however, indicated that the dis
ease did no good. In our own expert
ments at the station, there was only one
uniform result and that was negative in
every case. Therefore, / was forced to
conclude that the disease does not often
do any good when distributed artificially
for the destruction of grasshoppers, and
l believe every other entomologist in the
country who has experimental with this
disease has come to the same conclusion.
This disease is a fungus and is present
in all agricultural sections of the state
where grasshoppers occur. 1t only needs
to have the right conditions of tempera-
ture and moisture to cause it to germ
mate and develop rapidly. When such
times occur, the disease attacks the
grasshoppers and may kill them almost
completely in large area. The few dis
ease germs that can be added artificially
by person scattering them in the field
seem to give no increased benefit.
/ make this statement because the
h,pI
year in Colorado and because many in
quiries have been received lately in re-
gard to this disease. The station does
not keep cultures for distribution.

Elbert County Banner: we under.

Elbert County Banner: We under
stand there will be some opposition to
the election of a woman as county su-
perintendent of schools on the grounds
that physically the hardships are too
great for woman to endure. Now, we
will venture to say that we not believe
there is woman in Elbert county who
would not risk all the hardships involved
for the reward offered if her education,
health, and the circumstances of her life
made it possible. And many women in
the county are more exposed every day
than she would be while serving as su-
perintendent of schools.
