Methods of Control.

The most effective methods of con-
t.ol of grasshoppers on potatoes are the
same as are employed for their control
in general. First, find the breeding
ground in the scab land or pasture in
the fall and either plow up or burn
over to destroy the eggs in the ground.
Burning is more practicable for the
bluffs and hillsides than plowing. 1t
is unnecessary to try to burn over steep
rocky hillsdes devoid of vegetation in
asmuch as the grasshoppers do not lay
their eggs where there IS nothing for
the young to feed upon. In case the
land can not be burned over or plowed
in the fall it should be burned over in
the spring just as soon as the grass gets
dry enough for fire to travel in it, but
before the young grasshoppels get their
wings the last of June or the first of
July. This treatment will destroy prac-
tically all of the young hoppers before
they are able to do any damage to the
crops and before they can fly away from
the fire. OF course this treatment de-
stroys the pasturage for the rest of the
summer, but where it is matter Of
saving a very valuable crop it is no
doubt preferable to lose the pasturagc
than the crop. If the burning is done
in the fall the pasturage is not injured
for the next season.
A machine has been devised called a
chopper -dozer'' into which the young
grasshoppers can be gathered and killed
lby contract with kerosene. This ma
chine has become an important factor in
the control of grasshoppers in many
iparts of the country The hopper
dozer" is constructed as shown in Gig.
l2). The sides and back can be made
of sheet iron or oil cloth. The pan at
the bottom to hold the kerosene should
be made of tin or galvanized iron and
about three inches deep. This machine
/ is simply drawn across the fields and
the young hoppers, in trying to escape,
jump into it and get wet with the kero-
sene and are killed. Many of the hop
pers will jump out, but once they are
wet with the oil they are sure to die.
This machine can only be used on com
|paratively level land and for this rea-
lson it is not as useful in this country as
lin Kansas and some of the other states
where it has served so we'll
Where the grasshoppers are already
in the fields, orchards and gardens the
best treatment is to poison them with
poison bran mash, the formula for which
is as follows:

kinds of crops. Their injury to the po
Itato consists in the destruction of the
leaves and stems. During the season of
1913 there was the most serious out
break of grasshoppers, in certain dis
tricts along the Columbia and Snake
rivers within the memory of the earli
est inhabitants. Fortunately, in most
districts where the outbreak was very
bad the season is quite early and the
early potato crop was well along or
nearly grown by the time the insects
swarmed into the fields and gardens.
For this reason little damage was done
to early potatoes, but in many cases the
late potatoes suffered severely, espe-
eially where the grasshoppers were very
abundant, IN which case they even de-
stroyed the vines down to the surface of
the ground. In many parts of the state
lgrasshoppers are more or less abundant
every year, but they are not numerous
enough to be very destructive to crop
as thrifty as potatoes.
All of our especially destructive grass
hoppers spend the winter in the egg
stage in the ground. The eggs are from
one eeighth to one-fourth of an inch in
length, cylindrical, yellowish, and are

deposited in compact masses of from
fifteen to seventy in small pouches in
the ground. These tiny packets are
made by the females with the tip of
their abdomen and the eggs laid in them
in very exact position, the whole be-
ing sealed up with frothy mass which

pearance. When full grown the larvae
average about an inch to an inch and
a half in length and about one-fourth of
an inch across The adults of the cut
worms are the ordinary grayish mottled
winged moths so commonly seen in all
parts of the country flying about lights
at night in summer. The eggs are laid in
the spring by the adult female moth.
They are deposited on great variety
of plants, depending much upon the
species of moth. The eggs hatch out into
tiny cut worms which grow to matur-
ity, feeding the while on most kinds of
garden crops, field crops and many
kinds Of weeds. They pass the pupal
stage under ground, the dark brown
chysilids being enclosed in earthen cells.
There are several broods during the
year. depending upon the climate and
more or less upon the local weather con
ditions. The winter is passed usually
in the pupal stage under ground, but
some of the adult moths are often seen
in winter, especially in our houses.
Sometimes the winter is passed in the
partly grown larval stage and when
spring comes they are ready to feed
upon the first green vegetation that ap-
pears.
Control Measures.
Although many control measures have
been devised for this pest from time to
time there seems to be none that give
perfect results.
Clean culture is one of the most effect
i've remedies, however and if consis
tently followed will give good meas
ure of success. Plow infested land in
the fall to break up the pupal cells or
bury and destroy the over winterng
caterpillars.
The arsenical sprays, applied to the
vines as directed for the potato beetles,
will aid in protecting them from being
eaten.
One of the commonest treatments,
however. and very effective one, is to
poison the worms with the poison bran
mash as recommended for the grass
h,ppers. The poison mash should be
scattered along the rows and not around
tn, field, for the worms are in the soil
in the field.
Grasshoppers.
Several species of grasshoppers are
well known as pests destructive TO all
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-07-02
Bran-25 pounds.
SYRUP gallon.
Paris green-2 pounds.


Mix the Paris green dry with the
bran, then add the syrup dissolved in
enough water to make stiff mash when
added to the bran. About three gallons
of water will be sufficient. This bait
should be scattered in and around the
field and between the rows of potatoes.
Another formula, which has been used
in California with very satisfactory re-
suits, is as follows:
Bran-40 pounds.
Syrup gallons.
Arsenic-5 pounds.
The bran should be wet so that water
can be squeezed out if held in the hand.
After this stir in the syrup and then
the arsenic. Stir thoroughly and then
let stand over night, stirring again be-
fore applying on the field the next day.
Potato plants may be protected to
considerable extent by the application OF
the Bordeaux mixture. This serves as
repellant and tends to keep the hop
pers off the plants.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 9.-Advices re-
ceived from Mobile state that the Mo
bile & Ohio Railway will apply for
Federal injunction restraining the
Mississippi railroad commission from
enforcing it's order forbidding the can
collation. of six passenger trains on
that system.
The application for restraining
writ is now being prepared and will
be presented to Judge Henry c. Niles,
of the Federal Court, within the next
few days. 1t will be based on the
general ground that the order of the
commission is an interference with in
terstate commerce, and also that the
company's volume of passenger traf-
fic does not warrant the continuance
of these trains.
The railway officials declare that
they were not even given a respect
able hearing before the commission
on the merits of the case; that Com
missioner George R. Edwards declar
ed that he did not intend to show the
railroad any quarter several days priol
to the presentation Of the case to tha
body.

THE SUPREME SIN,
REJECTION OF CHRIST
SUPREME GRACE is IN RECEIVING
HIM SAYS EVANGELIST
-. P'POOL.

The meeting at the Main Street Bap-
tist Church was well attended last
night and the greatest interest yet
manifested. Six new members were
received. The sermon by Rev. E. s.
P'Pool in part follows:
"The Supreme Sin" is the rejection
of Jesus. The world usually thinks
that condemnation will be due on ac-
count of this or that act of our life.
But the fact is that there is not an act
of any kind but what the sinner can
be forgiven If he will but receive Jesus
Christ as his Savior. -..e..
"The man who rejects Jesus today
in the light of nineteen centuries oi
proof and evidence will commit a
greater sin of moral anarchy against
God and will suffer the damnation Of
a deeper hell than those who in the
dawn of the light could not fully see
the form of Him who is the faires
among ten thousand and altogether
lovely. The supreme sin is rejecting
Jesus, the Son Of God. The supreme
grace by which we are saved now ant
for all eternity is receiving Him who
is the King Of Kings and Lord O
Lords. Sinner if you'll trust Him thi.
minute He'll be yours forever"
