CHRISTOPHER IS

Hoppers Are Active and Able to Jump

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The periodical cicada, an insect al
most universally miscalled the 17-year
locust, has a bad reputation, but the
destruction it causes is negligible COM
pared to that wrought by grasshop-
pers-which, by the way, are true
members of the Aocust family. The CT
cadas have been blamed for much of
the work of the grasshoppers.
Both the young and old hoppers
gnaw and devour the grain crops
wholesale, and work in large swarms
which sometimes attain sufficient num-
bers to consume almost every green
thing in sight.
Dry weather ordinarily favors the
successful Matching of the eggs and
the subsequent development of the
hOppers, while Cool, wet weather, as
a rule, is unfavorable, and grasshoD-
pers often die in great numbers from
disease when weather conditions of
this character prevail. The grasshop-
pers lay their eggs in the soi}, the
banks of irrigation canals being favor
ed for this activity, and the young
grasshoppers appear the following
spring. In some of the Southern and
Southwestern states the hOppers
emerge as early as February, while in
the northern territory the eggs are not
Matched before tile middle of May or
the first part of June. The young
grasshOppers are active and able to
hop almost Immediately upon emer-
gence from the eggs. In 20 to 80 days
they attain maturity and develop
wings. Hence the time for the farmer
to attack the pest is during it's young
stages.
Three Methods Of Control.
There are three methods of control
ling grasshoppers, according to spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture -destructiOn of the
eggs, catching the insects in the fields
by traps, and use of poisoned bats.
Wherever possible, the ground con-
staining the grasshopper eggs should be

The sugar-beet thrips is an impor-
tant insect recognized as a greenhouse
pest and also injuring outdoor plants,
principally sugar beets and sugar cane.
The insect is dark brown or black in
color, and about 1.3 millimeters in
length. The injury caused is similar
to that of other species, such as the
onion thrips and bean thrips. The
plant is attacked by the adults and by
the nymphs, or young, in the same
manner. The leaf cells are pierced

thoroughly plowed or disked and har-
prevent the eggs from Matching the
following spring.
The hOpperdOZer is a mechanical
control implement and consists of a
galvanized sheet-irOn pan Or trough
having a back rising at right angles
to the pan. 1t is about Is feet in
length and mounted on runners made
of wood or old wagon tires. Hopper
dozers often are made of pan of gal
vanized sheet iron, but the back and
side wings are usually built with
wooden frame covered with stout mus
lin or light cotton duck, thus secur-
ing lightness and elasticity of struc-
ture. The insects hop into this trap,
which is drawn across the field by
horses. AS many as 800 bushels of
grasshoppers have been collected by
the use Of hopperdozers on 100 acres
of alfalfa.
How to Make Poisoned Bait.
AS ordinarily prepared, the bran bait
is composed as follows: Wheat bran,
Is pounds; paris green, 1 pound, or
white arsenic, 1 pound; 6 fruits of
finely chopped lemons or oranges; 2
quarts of low-grade molasses; 2 to 4
gallons of water, according to climatic
conditions. The bran and paris green
or other arsenical are thoroughly mixed
while dry. The fruits are then finely
chopped and added, and last the di-
luted molasses is poured over the bait
and the whole thoroughly kneaded.
This amount of poisoned bait is suff1-
cient to treat about three acres when
the grasshoppers first hatch. Later,
when they are nearly full grown, this
amount will suffice for about five
acres if sown broadcast in strips one
yard apart.
Blow flies, robber flies and digger
wasps all prey upon grasshoppers,
while wild birds, from the minute hum
ming birds to the mammoth hawks,
also assert marked control.
Complete information relative to
grasshopper control is presented in
Farmers Bulletin TAI, which has just
been reissued by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, copy of
which will be mailed free on request.

GIVE SOIL MORE ATTENTION
When Dairymen Do This They Will
Find Themselves Independent
Of Feed Dealers.

The time has come when dairy farm
ers must devote more attention to soil
management and crop growing and
less attention to balanced rations until
they get their farms on a self-sustain-
ing basis. When dairy farmers do this
they will discover that they are indie
pendent of feed dealers in feeding the
cows, and as the system is continued
few years they will create a surplus
which can be utilized in feeding horses,
beef cattle, sheep and hogs.
