THE CHRISTOPHER DISEASE.

The Colorado Experiment Station
is receiving many inquiries every day
concerning remedies for grasshoppers.
Each inquirer is particularly anxious
to know whether or not it is true
that the grasshoppers are dying of
cholera, or some similar disease; they
also want to know whether or not II
would be possible for them to obtain
some of the death dealing organism
to distribute among the grasshoppers
upon their farms.
It is true that grasshoppers have
been dying in considerable numbers
recently upon some of the ranches in
the northern part of Colorado The
cause of death is parasitic fungus
Empusa Grylli by name. When at.
tackled by this fungus, the grasshopper
climbs to the top of some plant where
It clings fast and dies.
The dead grasshoppers are sometimes
the tops of alfalfa, or sweet clover
where they die. Instances are not
very uncommon where nearly every
grasshopper in neighborhood has
succumbed to the attack of this dis
case within a very few days.
One who is looking for the grass
hoppers killed by this disease car
find them every year in some mum
beers in almost any field where the
erasshoppers are common. 1t Is il
years like the present when these
insects are very abundant that the
disease attracts attention by the large

can be trained to walk over four miles
