Plow Grasshopper Under. Prof. Swenk, associate state entom ologist, is out in warning to Nebraska farmers to look out for grasshoppers this year. Ho says the damage done by grasshoppers has been steadily in creasing for several years and tho dry season of 1911 was especially favorable for them. He recommends early and deep plowing as a means of extermina tion. The eggs are laid in pods near the surface and he says if the ground is plowed deeply before tho insects hatch the eggs will be be buried bo deeply the young grasshoppers cannot make their way to tho surface. He particu larly warns farmers against permitting land to go with out plowing at all, as under such conditions a big crop of grasshoppers is almost certain. J. H. VanCIeave.
