Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Pierre.-The Suburban Acreage com.
pany burned fifty acres of alfalfa
which had been cut and allowed to lie
on the ground only long enough to
dry SO it would burn. All this to at
tempt to put a stop to the g~rasshop-
per pest which had attacked their al
falfa field and which it is feared would
be many times worse in another year
unless the spread is stopped by dras-
tic action. The theory being that
many of the hoppers will be destroyed,
and the eggs of another year made
impotent. The tract will also be thor
oughly dragged before winter to stir
up any eggs which remain under the
surface, and by bringing them to the
surface destroy them, and prevent a
new crop. Alfalfa raisers find that
the hoppers breed rapidly in their
fields, and the sweet clover tracts also
appear to be breeding grounds. The
situation is being watched and all
possible effort being made to stop any
further spread of the insects.
