Prof. Newell submitted formula
for poisoning the grasshoppers and
explained that this formula had given
splendid results in Kansas and other
places where it had been tested. This
formula can be secured from the Com
mercial Club secretary.
The agricultural committee of the
club is now busy formulating the de-
tails of a systematic fight against this
pest. They hope to secure the CO.
operation of every planter, large or
small, in the infected districts. 1t is
proposed to name a day in the imme-
date future as "Grasshopper Day,
when a concerted effort will be made
to apply the necessary poison over all
infested districts.

Newelrs Recommendations.

Relating to the grasshopper scourge,
which seems to be growing to an
alarming stage. the agricultural COM
mittee of the Bryan Commercial Club
met Yesterday and went into the mat
ter as far as possible. and had with
them State Entomologist Wilmon
Newell, who gave them some valuable
information and recommendations
which will be adopted. Mr.. Newell
says that the grasshoppers are pretty
bad in the bottoms. The eggs of last
years crop are now Matching and 1t
will require concerted action by the
people to exterminate them. He rec.
commended a new poisonous mixture
that has given good results in the
North. which is attractive to grass
hoppers. Printed directions are being
prepared for the use of this solution
and it will be furnished to users at
actual cost and probably to those who
are unable to pay for 1t without cost.
In order that the amount of poison
required for this locality be ascer
tanned and secured, the secretary OF
the Bryan Commercial Club will re
ceive applications from all parties in
fected. and the work of furnishing
them will be rapidly handled by th'
committee who has the work in charge
in order that thousands of dollars b.
saved to the farmers in thfs locality.
