By D. L. Stevenson

The very existence of the
Lodge Grass community oe-
pends directly upon our agrl-
culture and anything affecting
the crop productions in this
area is therefore of vital i'm
portance to us.
The Mormon cricket has ov-
errun our agricultural areas IN
ever increasing numbers for the
past four years. They have ad-
vanced steadily about ten miles
per year, coming originally from
the Wolf mountain area and
the higher lands lying to the
west. and the damage they have
done during these years to both
farm lands and grazing lands
cannot be estimated. On the
range lands they strip the ma
tive grasses leaving only the
u~npalatable midrib which con-
talns little food value. In the
wheat fields they crawl up the
stalks of wheat, cutting off the
headS. AS a general rule, after
an infestation, it is useless to
attempt to harvest a crop. In
an alfalfa crop they sap the
vitality of the plant thus re-
duclng the feed value of the
hay even though the hay looks
good when put into the stack.
Only the sugar beet crop es-
capes and then only when tie
crop has advanced to the stage
that the plant has from six to
eight leaves and the job OF
thinning has been completed.
The entomolOgists tell us that
tie cricket is a native insect.
This must be true because they
have been seen hopping around
on snoWbanks - farmers have
deliberately frozen them IN
cakes of ice and on thawing
they have just hoped away. IL
The spring When the weather
is warm enough to hatch tbs
eggs, 1t is also warm enough to
provide soft juicy new grass.
They fit 50 well into Natures
Plan of seasons and conditions
in this area that they must
truly be natives.
Although this insect causes
US much grief it has an inter
csting history and nature has,
N her plan of things, provided
several enemies who take their
oil of the cricket population.
The classic example of this is
the time the gulls came in such
! numbers as to ''b.acken the
SKY and saved the crops of the
Mormon people who the year
before had come to the new
country called Utah under the
leadership of Brigham Young.
Though we do not have the
gulls here to aid US in our
campaign it would appear that
nature hasn't forgotten us.
