ADVISED TO
CHECK CRASSHOPPERS
Plague Possible Next Year Un.
less Measures Are Taken
to Destroy Larvae.

~Brookings. $. D.. Oct. 23.-"It is very
important that farmers who were
trouble with grasshoppers this season
should take immediate steps to de-
stroy the %grasshopper eggs in their
fields says Prof. II. G. SEVERN. state
entomologist at State college. because
there are many conditions which
an outbreak OF grasshoppers neXt year.
w OF the most important of these
conditions are: % n lack OF parasites
or predacious animals, and I'D dry
Weather during the early life of the
ioppers. We know through an exam
ination of tho alfalfa fields that the
parasites and predacious animals are
not sufficiently abundant to control the
present grasshopper outbreak n we
cannot predict the kim of weather
we shall have during the early life Of
the grasshopper next year"
Professor SEVERN states that grass
hopper eggs may be destroyed by
blowing, %discing, narrowing or Guilt
waiting grasshopper infested fields. The
depth to which the soil need be stirred
IL only two inches, and which OF the
foregoing methods of eradication is
used will depend, first upon the farmer
his tools and. second, upon the
location of the g%rasshopper eggs. The
onJect OF c~ultivating, narrowing.
dlscing or shallow blowing is to crush
the eggs or to break open the egg
masses and thus expose them to the
drying action OF the sun and wind, to
frost action or to the attacks of molds
and animals.
Whatever implement is used to de-
stroy the g%rasshopper eggs,' states
Professor SEVERN, "a thorough Job
must be done and the implement should
be run not only lengthwise, but also
crosswise over the fields, after the
grasshoppers have deposited their
eggs CATER the middle of October in
1870 and if possible repeated i'm the
spring: South Dakota alfalfa growers
have found a spiked toothed disc or
renovator desirable because it DESTROYS
the s%rasshopper eggs with less injury
TO the alfalfa than an ordinary disc"
Professor SEVERN states that alfalfa
growers and others whose fields were
bothered by gr%asshoppers should
the ground for grasshopper
eggs. looking for them not only in the
fields but in the narrow strips OF land
bordering alfalfa fields. No great num-
Der of g%rasshopper eggs are laid In the
native prairie land, except in the mar
row strips Of land bordering alfalfa
n corn fields.
