FROST KILLS CROP PESTS


The early frost which was general
over the state September 80 and 80,
while not wanted by farmers, has
brought about a favorable condition
in one respect at least. It has put an
end to the seasons operations of a
number of pests which were creating
havoc in some parts of the state. Ac-
cording to reports reaching ]. c.
Mohler, secretary of the state board
of agriculture, sthe fly and grasshop-
per plaques which were prevalent in
the southern and southwestern parts
of the state. have been ended or very
greatly curtailed by the frost.
THE fly epidemic became a. great
nuisance in the south central coun-
ties of the state. In some localities it
was very bad and cattle suffered, caus-
ing them to lose flesh, and dairy cat
tie to reduce their milk SUPPLY said
Secretary Mohler. How to account
for this plague<of flies has puzzled
farmers" \
Grasshoppers have been numerous
in some counties in which the new
wheat is getting a start. In Barton
county entire fields have been de-
voured by the 'hoppers, says a report
from County Farm Agent Miles of
Great Bend. In a number of western
counties the farm agents have been
conducting poison campaigns against
the 'hoppers. The frost put these
pests out of commission.
