moving the other, which is the sign

tomary to have the annual meeting

Meet in Todd

Many folks in Stearns county
have been wondering as to the de-
gree of grasshopper infestatior
within the county. In the past
week the county agents office to-
gether with representative Of the
federal government made a survey
in number of townships to deter
mine the degree of grasshopper in.
festations. The spots surveyed in
each township are probably not in.
/ dicative Of the conditions in the
whole township but serve as some
measure as far as grasshopper in
festation in the area is concerned.
Counts were made of the number
Of grasshoppers per square yard
These counts by townships are as
follows:
st. Cloud-one and one 80;
st. Joseph-35; Getty 3; Rockville
SIS; Sank Centre-one and one
35; West Wakefield-5O: Melrose-
one 20 and one 35; Munson-5O;
Albany-30; Paynesville-one3 and
one 6; Avon-45; Crow Rivers;
st. Wendel-one Is and one so;
Lake George-one 6 and one IS;
Brockway-70.
The above figures show the
grasshopper count per square yard
on the field where the count was
made. No effort was made to pick
out areas that were more heavily
infested than others but rather to
choose typical spots in the town
ship. Many folks may wonder as
to whether these figures represent
a serious number of hoppers or just
a limited number. It has generally
been found by experience that
wherever the grasshopper count is
higher than 30 per square yard
the use of bait is justified. In many
of the areas there was quite a diff
ference in the maturity of the hop
pers. Some townships like Getty
and Lake George had very young
hoppers in this count while in
Rockville township the hoppers
present on the area counted were
very far along. This is also true
in Brockway township.
To carry out an effective control
program requires that all folks who
have a reasonably large number
of hoppers present carry out the
plan for bait distribution as recon-
mended by the extension service.
All through the season so far am
pie quantities of both poison and
bran material have been kept on
hand in the county for control
work. There is still plenty of ma
terial on hand to take care of pres

swered. A hole, five feet across

Adding to the mystery Of what
happened is the fact that there is
