LOOK BEFORE YOU POISON

The grasshopper infestation in South
Dakota is local in nature this year,
says A. L. Ford, extension entomolo-
gst at State college In fact it is so
so much so that different parts of the
same field may show marked differ
ence in the amount of damage done.
This fact has direct bearing on the
spreading of grasshopper poison.
In poisoning grasshoppers it is nee
esary to broadcast the poisoned mash
only where the hoppers are present.
Since some parts Of the same field may
be heavily infested and other parts
free from the pest, it is not necessary
tC apply the poisoned bait to this en-
tire field
Every farmer who is going to poison
his hoppers this year should make a
brief inspection of his fields the day
before poisoning. BY doing so he will
readily determine where the hoppers

are and where they are not. This
brief survey tells him exactly where
and where not to poison
By short look around his land
shortly before he poisons, the farmer
will in many cases find that only
part of his land need be treated. This
not only results in great saving of
poison bran mash but of labor as well
Because of this every farmer is urged
to go over his fields in brief survey
before poisoning for grasshoppers.
