Investigations 



tJruguay — Government has appointed a com- 

 mission to inake further investigations and 

 experiments with respect to the utilization 

 of locusts for industrial purposes recom- 

 mended by Sr Alejandro Otaegui. Sr Otae- 

 gui has been experimenting for some time, 

 and believes that locusts can be profitably 

 utilized in the manufacture of fertilizer, 

 soap, lubricants, and stock food. The lo- 

 cust is, it is stated, rich in nitrogen and 

 phosphoric acid
