COLD WEATHER
KILLS H0PPERS

Regina. Sask., April 49, Recent
cold weather, it is hoped, has de-
stroyed great numbers of grasshop-
.oers which developed in the Oxbow,
Alameda. Carlyle and Disley districts
during the warm weather late in
March. Reports of large numbers OF
the pests were received by M. P. Tul-
lis, commissioner Of weeds and seeds
branch of the Saskatchewan depart
nent Of agriculture.
Considerable question has arisen
over the manner in which the grass
hoppers appeared at this time of the
year. Many hold that they are the
developed chopper" Of last fall Which
was dormant during the winter, while
others hold that eggs laid last year
have hatched. The fact that many of
those exhibited by Mr.. Tullis were
three-quarters of an inch or more in
length, tends to the opinion that they
are last wears Crop"
