Flowing Recommended
For Grasshopper Eggs

Flowing under grasshopper eggs
TO a depth of at least 80 inches is
the best method Of controlling the
grasshoppers, according to Prof. J.
a. Munro, state entomogolist of
North Dakota.
Prof. Monroe further recon-
mends that all blowing should be
done in the fall or early spring be-
fore May Is. After this date eggs
begin to hatch and many Of the
young will have reached the surf
ace. Flowing does not destroy egg
but prevents the young from work
Ing to the surface. Stumbling In,
discing, narrowing and any other
methods OF cultivation which does
not turn the ground and bury the
eggs to a depth that will prevent
emergence Is not advised.
Roadsides and sod margins OF
fields should be plowed as these
are a great source OF infestation

lower. Liverpool wheat was to
1Ad lower, Winnipeg 13s to 11ac

Another disturbing factor in
wheat was the Canadian govern
ment crop report, which, while
showing decline from last
month, was above private esti-
mates made recently.
Yield in Canada
Indicated yield of wheat in
western Canada was put at ap-.
proximately 265,00O,OOO bushels,
