Six Towns in
Co. Affected
By Hoppers
Pests Are In Hatching State
and Will Need Prompt
Treatment
FARMERS ORGANIZED
Application of Bait Will Play
Havoc With the Pests
Says Co. Agent

County Agent Lentzmeier is de
voting considerable of his time anG
energy to the grasshopper situa
ton of Stearns at this time.
Wednesday Mr.. Lentzmier called
at the George Schurmann and Her
man Iwinski farms, southeast O.
the city. He reported to the Herald
late in the afternoon that the hop
pers were Matching in large mum
bers on these farms and that they
will be a real menace unless prop
erly cared for. Neither Of these
farms were affected a year ago.
The Lawrence Herzog farm, one
Of those heavily afflicted a yeal
ago, have hoppers this year but
they are, apparently not quite as
many, but there are enough to be 9
real menace. .a.
The proposed Federal appropria-
ton has been lost in the jam OF
Congress. This appropriation pro.
vided for over 500, 900 to be spent
in Minnesota. Fifty thousand dol
lars has been set aside from the
Governors calamity fund to fight
the pests in this state. Stearns is
recognized as among the first ter
in the state where the hoppers are
a real menace. The pests are ap
parently confined to the townships
of Sauk Centre, Melrose, Wildwood
Krain, st. Joe and st. Wendell. The
hoppers are in the Matching stage al
present. It will take about a week
before the poisoned bait should be
spared. The ingredients will be
mixed in the county at headquart
ers of which Sauk Centre will be
one. '
The most practical way to con
troll grasshoppers is by timely and
efficient application of poisoned
bran mash. The formula found
best suited to Minnesota conditions
is as follows:
Coarse wheat bran 100 pounds.
Paris green or crude arsenic,
pounds, or codium arsenite liquid
a lb. As2 O3). 2 quarts.
Molasses (black strap),2 gallons
Water, 10 gallons.
Bran should be free from shorts
or screenings. These materials
cause the mash to become lumpy
Any material having tendency tt
lump should not be used.
Sawdust can be used. The above
formula consisting of so per cent
bran and so per cent sawdust gives
good results although the pure
bran formula is best. Even 10(
pounds of sawdust and no bran In
this formula has given fair results
in a severe infestation and should
be used rather than to delay or neg
lect control measures because OF
lack of bran.
Crude Arsenic, finely powdered
is the most economical poison te
use.
White Arsenic is more expensive
and not so easy to mix with the
bran as crude arsenic.
Sodium Arsenic Is q liquid sub
stance, much easier to mix, ant
penetrates the bran thoroughly
giving a uniform mixture but Is &
little more expensive than the crude
arsenic.
Paris Green can be substituted
pound for pound for crude arsenic
but is very expensive. Its use is
economical when only small guam
titles of bait are needed. Its colo1
helps indicate when thorough
mixture has been obtained.
