VIEW BULLETIN TELLS
HOW To KILL 'HOPPERS

Coarse bran, 100 pounds; arse
mic, 5 pounds; salt, 5 pounds; mo-
lasses, 2 gallons; amyl acetate, 3
ounces; water, 10 to II gallons.
This formula for a bait which
will kill grasshoppers is recon-
mended for use in Minnesota by
J. R. Parker, until recently with
the division of chronology and &C.
onomic zoology, University Of
Minnesota. Mr.. Parker has stu
died the grasshopper, particular
ly the clear-winged or warrior
family, for many years. In the
summer of 1923 he established a
camp in heavily infested area
near Harvey, in Carlton county,
where he tried out a variety of
poisoned bats and closely OBJ
served the feeding habits of the
hoppers and the effects upon
them of temperature, wind and
moisture. In Bulletin PA, issued
by the Minnesota Experiment
Station, he has recorded the re-
suits obtained from this work.
Poisoned bran mash will give
the best results" he says, If it
is scattered so that it's period of
greatest attractiveness comedies
with the period of maximum
feeding of the 'hoppers. In gem
eral it may be said that poisoned
bran mash should never be put
out at a temperatures below IS
degrees F. or above so degrees T.
Best results are to be expected
when it is scattered so that it
will be moist and odorous when

It was Indicated by the Com

necessary to draw up q measure
with punitive provisions pending

interests.

.News Of the merger will prob
ably come as sudden as that Of
the purchase OF the bus company's

IL may come q workable plan from

panies which will receive the most
interested consideration Of the pub-
lie utilities commission.

routing of the bus and street car
lines under 8 unified control, will
certainly expe dite service" he con-
tinued, .sand will, in the end, I
believe; work, out to the benefit Of
not only the public but the COM
pany"
The Commission officials admitted
that although they had heard rumors
OF the possibility of q sale or the
bus company stock, the news Of
such decisive action was a surprise.
It was understood that the Commits
sion had practically abandoned hope
for q voluntary merger believing
that the only way to set the trac-
ton companies to combine would
be under the threat Of congressional
legislation.
It is now held, however, that with
the North American Company, con-
trolling large blocks of stock in
the Capital Traction Company,
practical control Of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company
and the majority interest in the
Washington Rapid Transit Com
pany, merger dreams Of the citizens
Of the District have an excellent
chance Of being realized.
