FIND NO 'HOPPER EGGS
Blair Fred D. Butcher, federal
entomologist, and County Agent
George Bates failed to find a single
grasshopper egg in the fields where
poison was spread according to di
rections last summer. The men found
an average of twenty cases of grass
hopper eggs per square foot in the
soil where the 'hoppers were bad
last summer, but received no poison.
The number of eggs in a case varies
from twenty to forty. Butcher said.
Butcher has been sent to Nebraska
by the United States department of
agriculture to help local authorities
make a survey of the entire state to
fird out if possible how serious the
grasshoppers will be in 1932. The
climatic conditions may take care of
the situation, he says, since the
grasshopper eggs will be killed in the
ground by freezing and some of the
ycung grasshoppers may be drowned
next May 'cr June by heavy rains, or
some of the natural enemies of the
hopper may kill some of them.
Temperatures in the ground where
the eggs are deposited must go down
to 13 below zero in order to kill the
grasshopper egss. Butcher says. This
soil temperature of 13 below zero
means that the temperature in the
air must get down to "0 below zero
whea there is no snow on the ground.
The ordinary Nebraska winter in
Washington county includes very
few days if any, when these condi
tions prevail. County Agent Bates
says. Continued alternate thawing
and freezing often destroys many
eggs.
The men gathered some grasshop
per egg cases and have ihem on dis
play in the county agent's office here.
A grasshopper digs a little hole in
the ground and deposits the eggs in
a genatinous substance which hard
ens to form a pod or case to protect
the eggs during the winter. The sod
along a fence row, or in a pasture is
a favorite egg laying place of the
grasshoppers. They deposit their
eggs about an inch and a half below
the surface of the ground.
A beautiful card at Christinas time
carries the message of friendship and
gcoi will. Make it more personal by
having your name printed or en
graved on it. The Bates Book & Gift
Shop affords a wide array of hand
some designs to select from.
