The life histories of the injurious
species of grasshoppers in Montana
are so much alike that the several
kinds may be discussed together.
The four ~grasshoppers that do most
damage to crops in Montana are the
lesser migratory, warrior, big-head-
ed, and the two-striped grasshopper.
The winter is passed in the egg
stage. The eggs are long and curved,
tapering toward each end, about
one-fifth of an inch long and tan or
yellowish in color. They are laid in
the soil in pods or clusters, about Is
to so eggs to the pod, according to
the species, and are cemented to-
gether with a frothy, sticky fluid
which soon dries. In preparing to
lay the eggs the female grasshopper
bores a hole in the ground by means
of two pairs of horny projections at
the end of the abdomen which open
and shut by muscular action. In
this manner the abdomen is forced
into the earth After digging the
hO1Ss SAlC llLSGCL CO1IllAlGINCCS OOPOOAS-
ing eggs. When the process is COM
pleted the eggs reach nearly to the
top and the remaining space is filled
with the frothy substance which
closes the hole. When busted over
it is admirably hidden.
The eggs are seldom if ever laid
in cultivated fields. The soil in such
places is usually too loose for the fe-
male grasshopper to bore a satisfac-
tory hole. Roadways, ditch banks,
fence rows, WORKOUT pasture land.
sod land, idle land and land once un-
der cultivation but now well packed
and grown up to weeds, prairie land
and low foothills are the common
places selected for ~egg-laying.
When the young insects hatch, the
latter part of May or early June
they work their way up to the sur.
face through the protecting cover
which softens as the insects make
their way out. AS they grow they

place and the eggs of the new gen

Senator's Name Will Be Put
Forth At Proper Time
For Presidency
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
BY Leased Wire To Axe-Herald


WASHINGTON, June 15.-Political
friends of Samuel NJ. Ralston, who
want to land the democratic presi-
Dental nomination for him, are
adopting the same shrewd strategy
which Harry NJ. Daugherty employed
for Harding in 1920-and with equal
prospects of success. Their whole
object now is to keep Ralston's boom
from getting premature start.
Ralston's candidacy may never be
announced formally. His name may
merely be presented before the con-
vention by his friends ats the psy-
Geological moment. 1t is doubtful
whether he will go Into any of the
primaries
Seasoned politicians know that the
surest way to kill off a presidential
possibility is to get his boom well
under way early SO that he Is mark
for every one else's rocks, coming
into the convention despatched. stale,
and somewhat shopworn. That is
what happened to Hoover in 1920.
1t Is what politicians are hoping will
why almost every politician is will
ing to help Fords boom along now.
Therefore, the disclaimer of Tom
Taggart at French Lick, Ind, this
week Is one of the most fortunate
developments that could have be-
fallen RalSton. lie says That RalSton
Is interested only in his coming ser
vice in the United States Senate. The
play Is to keep Ralston out Of the
public eye as much as possible. This
will be somewhat difficult when
Congress meets and current issues
come up in the Senate.
O O O
To Keep Quiet.
Ralston will be obliged to make
some speeches to establish a record.
He will be forced into many tight
corners on test votes. where he must
commit himself. But he will avoid
