prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
There is nothing so good as poisoned
bran for taking the hop out of a
grasshopper and there is no better
way of buying and distributing the
bran than through a community or
%ganization, specialists Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
find. In the areas where the grass
hoppers come down on the farm crops
like all the plaques of Egypt there
should be grasshopper-fghting organ
izations, just as there are fire-fghting
units in every city. Fighting a grass
hopper invasion without the help of
the neighbors is like trying to put out
a fire in a powder factory with one
bucket of water.
In the Pacific states the vast, I'M
cultivated areas of mountains, foot
hills, and grasslands afford ideal
breeding grounds for at least eight
common species of g%rasshopper. I'm
disturbed, the pests a mass their
forces in the spring and be ready for
a descent upon the alfalfa fields and
cultivated crops of the farmer when
weather conditions permit. There
seems to be little hope of destroying
the grasshoppers in. these isolated
breeding areas and for that reason
specialists of the bureau of entomology,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, maintain that it will be many
years before the grasshopper menace
disappears from the West. But, while
the eight plaques cannot be exter-
minated at. their source, they can be
aet with a systematic, well-directed
barrage of poisoned bait, fire, and
other weapons for control when they
attempt to invade the cultivated
fields.
Preparing for the Attack.
Every locality should have an or.
ganization fully equipped and pre-.
pared to meet the grasshopper on
slaught. All preparations should be
made early ii 1.-THE spring before the
insects have left their breeding
grounds. The organization should be
directed and controlled by efficient and
energetic leaders, and it ought to have
the cooperation and support Of every
farmer in the community as well as
the landowners who hold title to the
remote areas from which the plague
spreads.
An equitable method of raising
funds for the work can be arranged
IL every %landholder is taxed on the
acreage he holds or operates. The
funds should be collected and placed
at the disposal of a good business
man who will know how ard where to
go about buying poisons and other
supplies when they are needed, with
out the necessity of untanglinr red
