Peace on Earth. Have you ever thought seriously of the meaning of that blessing given to the peacemaker? People are al- ways expecting to get peace in heaven But you know whatever peace they get there will be ready made. Whatever making of peace they can be blessed for must be on the earth here, not the taking of arms against but the build Ing of nests amid It's "sea of troubles" Qike the halcyons).

Grassbopper Disease

A few years ago great deal was
written for the papers about certain
disease which kills grasshoppers. Near
ly every farmer or fruit grower has at
one time or another seen the dead
grasshoppers clinging to the tops of
sweet clover or other plants about their
fields.
A few years ago the Colorado Ex
pertinent Station sent out about four
hundred cultures of this disease to be
tested by the farmers who desired to
use it in their fields. The Station also
experimental quite extensively with it
upon the college farm and in the sur
rounding neighborhood. A few of the
reports that came in from farmers
would indicate that the disease had
done great goodby killing grasshoppers.
Nearly all the reports, however indi-
Gated that the disease did no good. In
our own experiments at the Station.
there was only one uniform result, and
that was negative in every case. There
fore, was forced to conclude that the
disease does not often do any good
when distributed artifcially for the
destruction of grasshoppers, and
believe every other entomologist in the
country who has experimental with this
disease has come to the same conclu-
sion.
This disease is fungus and is present
in all agricultural sections of the State
where grasshoppers occur. 1t only
needs to have the right conditions of
temperature and moisture to cause it
togerminate and develop rapidly. When
such times occur. the disease attacks
the grasshoppers and may kill them
almost completely in a large area. The
few disease germs that can be added
artiticially by person scattering them
in the field seem to give no increased
benefit.
make this statement because the
grasshoppers are very abundant this
year in Colorado and because man y
inquiries have been received lately in
regard to this disease. The station does
not keep cultures for distribution.
