hotel shortly after noon today. Tho meet
ing was held for the purposo of recon

tho membership. All of tho members wero
rcprosonted at tho meeting except tho Cali
fornia tracks, which, It was said before

HOWTO KILL OFFTHE HOPPERS
tint ska Mitn llrlmtn the Severn!
.MettititN I neil for DentroyliiK the
liipi;t I'entd.
The Introduction of alfalfa Into the west
ern portion of Nebraska has tended to local
ize or concentrate tho summer crasshoppcr
and in somo neighborhoods In the I'latlo
and Republican valleys thero has been
qulto a decided lncrcaso In their numbers.
When breeding on thu prairies It Is not
unlikely that .theso wero kept In check to
somo extent by prairie chickens nnd quail.
Thla species of tho grasshopper does not
now breed very abundantly on tho table
lands. In those localities tho grasses dry
out early In tho season and thero is a ton
ducy of this family of grasshoppers to movo
to tho cultivated areas, where crops re
maining succulent longer and later In tho
season furnish them food In tho Utter part
of tho season. In tho fanners crops and
In nnd about alfalfa fields the greater num
ber doposlt their eggs. Karly In tho season
thoy movo Into grain fields nnd they also
work on young plantations of alfalfa Just
sowed. When tho grain fluids arc cut thoy
movo from tho stubblo Into al
falfa, If any near, ot into tho
edges of cornfields, or Into or
chards or gardens, and having been con
centrated In numbers In gralu fields or
alfalfa plats, whon they movo from there
thoy aro sufficiently nuraorous to do con-
ldcrablo harm to orchards nnd gardens.
During tho summer of 1900 It was noticed
thero whore cornfields wcro largo In nrea
tho percentage ot harm was not serious,
nearly all tho dnmago being on tho few
outsldo rows. Where comnclds were qulto
small that Is, flvo to ten ncres the percent
age of lots was considerably Increased. After
the grasshoppers havo moved Into cornfields
It Is not easy to combat them. It Is not
po2slblo to run boppor-dozers In tho corn
field and they cannot bo fed poison with
out at the samo time destroying many of
our useful birds.
Tho femalo grasshopper deposits from
sixty to eighty eggs In a llttlo sac stand
ing In nn upright position In the ground, and
deposits in ground firm enough that tho
sand may not run in and fill tho holo while
tho eggs aro being deposited. It is hardly
posslblo to deposit them tn very loose
sand, and not usual In surfaco soil kept
looso by cultivation. They seek tho soil
compact enough to stand whllo mnklng the
llttlo cavity and depositing eggs. Tho plac
ing and protection of tho eggs seems to
bo nenrly tho last work performed by tho
female. Thoy aro likely to bo found In
great numbers In alfalfa Holds, near tho
edges ot cornfields, along tho banks of Ir
rigation ditches, and whoiover nn abund
ance of plant food had gathered them to
gether at that season of the ycr.r.
Tho first mothod of combating theso Is
sometime between tho tlmo ot depositing
tho cggB and beforo the ground Is warm
enough In the spring to hatch tho young
grasshoppers, to so move tho ground as to
disturb tho egg sacs and lessen their pro
tection. When thrown out of position by
disc, plow, or cultivator, they aro likely to
bo destroyed by tho elements or gathorcd
up by the birds.
Moro eggs hatch In alfalfa fields than
In, farm crop fields for the reason thnt
land devoted to farm crops Is almost In
vnrlbly moved with cultivator, disc, or plow,
the cgg3 displaced and destroyed.- In tho
alfalfa fields In most places, no effort
having been mndo to destroy tho eggs
therein deposited, they havo hatched In
great numbers, fed on tho alfalfa until
tho first cutting then qulto likely move
to adjacent nttractlvo fields. They nlso
breed freely in weedy plats on the borders
of grain or corn fields.
Moved by thq serious losses sustnincd by
tho alfalfa growers In Kansas, particularly
In tho loss of tho seed crop, tho Agricul
tural college of Kansas devoted considerable
expense to tho study of tho nature and
habits of tho summer grasshopper and to
dctcrmtno how best to combat them. They
leased somo hundreds of acres of alfalfa
lands nnd concluded that tho best way to
fight them was to disc nnd harrow tho nl
falta fields, In this way displacing and de
stroying tho egg sacs. It wns feared that
the discing of an alfalfa field would split
and destroy tho crowns of many alfalfa
plants and thus lessen tho yield. Contrary
to this expectation it wns found that tho
movement ot tho surface of the nlfnlfa
field In somo wny stimulated nn Increased
growth, and for the season accurato tests
showed that tho yield exceeded by BO per
cent the yield of fields not so treated, giv
ing not only tho advantage of the destruc
tion ot the grasshoppers, but an actual In-
creaso In tho amount of hay produced.
Farmers In the Republican valley say
that they havo found It less harmful to the
alfalfa' .not to disc until now growth had
commenced and saj) was moving, limiting
tho best period for discing tho alfalfa field
to the comparatively brief tlmo between
tho beginning of new' growth and such
warmth of the season ns would hatch tho
young grasshoppers. That Is, tho work
must be dono beforo the eggs hatch.
Grasshoppers have, so far, usually dono
much barm to cornfields until they come
out of tho gralnflclds after tho grain was
cut, nnd usually they do not movo Into the
gardens or orchards In such numbers as to
bo very destructive until nbout thnt time.
At this staga they should bo combated
with hopper-doiorB. They can bo mado at
homo by almost any farmer at an expense
for material, asldo from what he has on
hand, of not moro than $2 or $3. D. Hun
ter of Suthorlnnd, Nob., mado his hopper-dozer
by taking two old wngon wheels
nnd using n 4x4 axlo twelve feet long. Up
right 2x6 scantlings bolted to this carried
a trough mado of 2xS, nbout twenty-four
Inches wldo nnd nlnq feet long, bottomed
with shectlron nailed on. In this was
placed throe inches"' of water coated with
oil. Tho trough wns divided In four com-
pnrtmcnts to prevent the oil and water
from running nut or to muCh to ono nldo
on sidling ground. To cither end of tho
axle was bolted a projecting shaft, to each
of which wero ntt.ichcd n horse, licblnd tho
axlo was bolted an old mower sent for tho
driver to rldo on. Tho scantlings wero
braced. Tho Implement wns Uttud with
back and bldo curtains, so tnat tho r.iuso-
hoppcrs senred up by tho horses nnd flying
against tho curtains would fall Into the oil.
Tho capacity of this dozer on young grain
or young nltalfa Is from ono to thrco bush
els nn hour; according to tho number
mot with, nnd persistently used destroys
a largo shnro of tho hoppers, rendering or
chards nnd' gardons comparatively safe, ,
Ono gardciler west of North I'latto found
In covering his raspberries a groat number
of grnsshoppor eggs many moro than lust
season. Ho win movo nil llie 3uriaco
within tho borders of the plantation and
destroy the eggs. Ho will surround his
fruit and vegetable plantations with a two
red belt of grain, on which ho expectu tho
Incoming grasshoppers to stop nnd ford,
and on which ho will run tho hopper-dozer
and destroy them as thoy como on. Last
summer he sufforcd seriously from the rav
ages of tho grasshoppers on his vegetable
and small fruit plantations.
Experience has shown that whero n
neighborhood makes an effort to combat
tho summer grasshopper they suffer but
llttlo from It. The largo farmer can nlso
control most of them. Tho crop of the
small gnrdoner who simply fights them on
his own ground might be destroyed by the
grasshoppers that movo from his neigh
bors, Tho nttentlon of communities whore
tho grasshopper has appeared in 1900
should bo closely directed to guarding
against them during the year 1901.

SIOUX FALLS, S. 1)., Dec. 28. (Special.)
lu accordance with Instructions from tho
War department nt Washington, tho United
States attorney's oltlcc In this city has
Just Instituted a suit against Abo Jones of
Whltcwood, S. I)., and his bondsmen,
Charles Francis and Joha Mouhctm ot
Sturglr, for falluro to comply with the terms
ot a contract to supply ,tho quartermaster's
department ut Fort Mendo with fifty-three
artillery horses. Jones may institute a
counter suit against tho government to
recover thu sum of $1,000, which he al
leges ho expended In ondcavorlng to comply
with tho terms of his contract. Tho result
of tho suit against him will be watched
with Interest, not only by army contractors
lu South Dakota, but by thoso tn other
states ns well.
Tho contract Is dated May 19, 1900. A
bond of $3,000, with himself us principal
nnd Francis nnd Monhclm ns surctlos, was
furnished tho government. Tho specifica
tions set forth In tho ndvertlsomcnt of tho
government called for nnlmals of certain
sizes and weights. A board ot examiners
from the oftlco of Major Hathaway, quar
termaster of tho United states army nt
Omaha, went to Sturgls to Inspect the
horses offered by Jones on his contract, and
as tho result of tho Inspection all ot them
woro rejected on tho ground that they
did not comply with tho specifications. On
Juno 18 Jones w'rotc Major Hathaway a letter
stating that ho would mako no further
attempt to fill his contract ns "the action
of your bonrd at Sturgls would Indlcnto that
It would bo imposslblo for mo or nnybody
olso lu this soctlon of tho United States
to show horses which would bo accepted."
Jones' bondsmen wero notified by wlro
of his action. Tho government officials
afterwards purchased tho horses In open
mnrkct In nccordunco with telegraphic In
structions from tho Wnr department at
Washington, ns tho animals woro badly
needed. Eighteen horses wcro purchnsed
at $138 each and thlrty-flvo at $144 each,
an nggregato of $422 moro than Jones ot
ferrcd to furnish them for. On tho 10th
day of last Scptcmbor u demand waa mndn
upon Jones by tho officials of tho quarter
master's offlco nt Omaha for tho payment
of this excess of $122. Similar demnnds
wero nlso mado upon his bondsmen. Pay
ment was refused.
Joiirn' Ilrfrnnr.
Jones, iti dofenso of his action, alleges
that tho horses wero rejected without any
Inspection whntover except nn examination
of tho brands which thoy bore. Ho further
nllcgcs that tho lnnscctors Informed him
that even If tho animals came up to re
