SECOND ADVENT OF
HOPPER is HERE

The second annual advent of the
grasshoppers is at hand, and, al
though they have not yet appeared in
such numbers as to create serious
damage, County Horticultural Com
missioner F. w. Waite believes that
unless immediate and effective pre-
cautions are taken it is more than
likely that as much damage will be
wrought at this time as in the past.
The hopper dozer, which is possibly
the most familiar check to the pest.
he asserts, is the most effective meth
cd of reducing their numbers.
Professor c. w. Woodwork of the
University of California, at a recent
meeting at Brawley, stated that the
advent of the grasshopper occurs only
once each year. But the recent ad-
vent of the hopper is the second ap-
pearance this year and County Hor-
ticultural Commissioner Waite has
expressed the opinion that those
which are appearing now differ from
those which appeared earlier in the
year.
