one of the pioneer merchants of

GOOD YEAR FOR
GRASSHOPPERS

The past fall has been an ideal
one for insect pests, suggests A. L.
Ford, extension entomologist at
State college. As is commonly
known most insects pass the win
ter in the soil and much depends
upon whether or not these pests
reach favorable Wintering quarters
before the approach Of severe win
ter weather. n
This year South Dakota has had
la dry and unusually warm fall.
Practically all Of the insects have
been able to successfully enter hib
nrnation before being caught by
he winter. Because of this a
minimum mortality among the
wintering insects may be expect
3D. which means that a maximum
number will emerge in a sound
condition this spring. Farmers
are justified in expecting a good
lcal Of insect trouble this spring.
In Haalon county our particular
insect pest is the grasshopper.
There is every reason to believe
hat he is wintering well A damp
rold spring may get his goat, but
if the weather continues fine,
watch out. The legislture at Pier
