GRASSHOPPER CONTROL
Burning Both Useless and Danger
Gus According to Authorities.

That fire as a means Of control
ling grasshoppers in sections of the
state where the pest is breaking out
badly at present is both useless and
dangerous is the statement of ex-
perts at the Michigan Agricultural
College and the University of Mich
igan. Burning over areas in an eff
fort to destroy the hoppers is said TO
be of little avail, while forestry men
point out the great danger of forest
fires where blazes become unman-
ageable
Reports coming to Professor =. S.
Lovejoy, Foresty Department at the
u. of NJ, from deputy fire wardens
in the northern part of the state, in
dictate that there have already been
losses from this chopper control"
fire activity, and the danger of large
burnings following continuance of
the practice is said to be great.
Fires are not necessary in grass
hopper eradication work." says Prof
Z. H. Petit, Entomology Depart
ment at the Michigan Agricultural
College, "and what is more they are
of little avail" The use of poison
bait is said by Professor Petit to be
the proper measure of control. and
the one which is advocated by the
agricultural college.
The grasshopper menace is said to
be more menacing that it has been
in any season for more than twenty
years, and every effort at proper
control is urged by the college au-
thorities. The following method of
preparing and distributing the pois-
on bait is given by Professor Petit

Hebrews 3:i2-l9

Take heed, brethren, lest there be
in any of you an evil heart of unbe-
lief, in departing from the living
God.
But exhort one another daily,
while it is called Today; lest any Of
you be hardened through the deceit
fulness of sin.
For we are made partakers of
Christ, if we hold the beginning of
our confidence steadfast unto the
end;
While it is said, Today if we will
hear his voice, harden not your
hearts, as in the provocation.
. For some, when they had heard,
did provoke: howbeit not all that
came out of Egypt by Moses
/ But with whom was he grieved
forty years? was it not with them
that had sinned, whose carcasses fell
! in the wilderness?
And to whom sware he that they
should not enter into his rest, but to
them that had believed not?
SO we see that they could not en-.
ter in because of unbelief.
