WAY TO CONTROL
GRASSHOPPERS IN
LETTUCE OUTLINED
Farm Advisor Writes OF
Methods To Help
Valley Growers

Every wear lettuce growers have sui
forod considerable loss from grasshop
pers. In great many instances the
damage has been so serious that re
planfinp has been made necessary
Where growers are racing to produce
the earliest crop in the valley, the IN
iurv mas made the difference between
profit and loss on the entire crop.
Control measures are so simple, tha'
no grower can afford not to follow them.
It is not the purpose of this article
to 90 into discussion as to the differ
emit species Of grasshoppers, their life
history. etc. Suffice it TO say tha'
eggs are laid by female grasshoppefs
| from August on. Eggs hatehed ana
the first brood starts doing damage IL
April. Another brood appears in July
and a third in September. 1t has mol
been definitely established whether
these are successive generations OF not.
In all cases the eggs are laid III un-
cultivated fields, along roads, dlten
banks. etc. Any system of control
therefore should include thorough disc
ing of alfalfa fields, ditch banks and
such places, during December and dur
ing June.
Gives Formula
For controlling grassloppcrs IN let
tuce fields the best known method Il

This is best spread by hand, and
where there is danger of poisoning stock
or chickens, should be thoroughly broad

Where no chickens or stock are liable
to get around, the bran may be placed
on paper or in small piles and moisten
