about two inches high. It is filled with
water covered with kerosene and
drawn over the field on runners that
can be made of old wagon tires. The
grasshoppers disturbed by its approach
will either jump directly into the kero-
sene and water or against the back
of the hopperdozer, which throws them
into the poisonous mixture.
Where the conditions are such that
the fields can be quickly inundated
and the water promptly run off-as is
frequently done in rice fields-it is
possible to drown all the young grass
hoppers If the right moment is select
ed. AS soon as the young begin to run
about flooding does but little good, as
they easily climb to the upper part Of
vegetation beyond the reach of the
water. On the whole, the use of some
such poisoned bait as that already de-
scribed, will probably be found the
most satisfactory way to control the
pest. Fuller information in regard to
the matter is contained in the recent
publication of the United States de-
partment of agriculture's farmers
bulletin No. 637. THE Grasshopper
Problem and Alfalfa Culture"
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1915-04-02

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The more alfalfa fields there are, the
greater will DE the plague of grasshop-
pers unless measures are adopted to
control the pest. The grasshepper, of
course, was known in America long
before alfalfa, but as the country be-
comes more settled and the waste
lands and uncultivated fields in which
the insect breeds grow fewer, the pest
crowds in greater and greater num-
bers into the places that are left it.
Since an alfalfa field affords almost
ideal conditions for breeding, to plant
alfalfa is to invite all the grasshoppers
in the vicinity to come and be merry
Mt your expense.
In order to breed freely, grasshop-
pers require two conditions; first, an
undisturbed soil to hatch their eggs,
and second, a food supply for their
young. The margins of roads and
fences, ditch banks, in fact any waste
land, will do to hatch the eggs, but
with alfalfa or grain at hand for the
eating, the young will not stay long in
their birthplace. Grasshoppers, it is
true, have many natural enemies which
will be attracted by the abundance of
their prey and thus ultimately afford
the farmer some relief. By that time,
however, the alfalfa crop is likely to
have suffered irreparable damage.
Perhaps the simplest way of fighting
the pest, when this is practical, is to
destroy the eggs. These are deposited
In masses in the late summer and fall,
inclosed in kidney-shaped pods, in soil
which the grasshopper prefers mod
erately compact and rather damp, but
not actually wet. The young hatch in
spring, reach maturity in the summer
and die when they in their turn have
deposited their eggs. There is only
one generation each year. Throughout
the late fall and winter, therefore, the
farmer has an opportunity to rid him
self of the pest by destroying the
eggs. Flowing. narrowing, disking or
cultivating to a depth of two inches
will do this.
Where the nature of the ground or
other circumstances make this i'm
practicable, specialists in the depart
ment OF agriculture recommend the
use of poison bait. Resort must be
had to the bait early, however, and all
waste and uncultivated land gone
over thoroughly before the young in
sects have developed sufficiently to
move about freely and feast on the
growing crops. For, as has already
been said, though the grasshoppels

need be no fear of loss. On Vermont

acres of pasture. which were very bad
ly infested with grasshoppers, were
treated in this way, and although more
than one hundred valuable pure-bred
jersey heifers were grazing on the
land throughout the process, no In

other hand, where the bait is scattered
in piles or lunches, there may be seri-
GUS consequences.

DEXTER HORTON WINS SUIT.

FAIRBANKS.-Telegraphic ad- vices received her yesterday were to the effect that the supreme court of the state of Washington had ruled against F. c. Moves, receiver of the Washington-Alaska bank in the case of the Dexter Horton Bank vs. The Receiver. The effect of the ruling is that the lien of the Dexter-Horton Bank against the Gold Bar Lumber stock, which has been one of the "boneS of contention" in the bank cases, is recognized by the court, and that an order will soon be issued en- titling them to forecloSe on it. The receiver contended in the suit that the stock had merely been placed with the Dexter Horton people for safe keeping.
 The decision of the Washington court leaves the depoSitors of the Washington-Alaska Bank with one less hope of securing the remainder ot their monef. Tn fact their only remaining hope is that Fernand de Journel will be successful in his suits against the former stockholders of the WaShington-AlaSka Bank News Miner.
