TWENTY- FIFTH REPORT OF «TATE ENTOMOLO(;iST :5H 



Btiulilan.l, Mont., July L'.'), i:i34. 



Dear Sir: 



In regard to the grasshopper poison program we worked under this season 

 ill this loca.ity, I am satisfied that it saved many crops, basing my opinion on 

 actual experience and observation. It is, however, an undisputed fact that 

 the instructions given out by the ones in charge of this work were beneficial 

 as to the results obtained in destroying the hoppers, and may I urge that 

 this work be continued until such time tl:at we may have the hoppers de- 

 stroyed. Unless this work is continued until the hoppers are all destroyed 

 tlie work and expense we had this spring would be only a temporary relief. 

 We must keep after these hoppers until we get them a.l destroyed, in this 

 ] am not only expressing my opinion and belief, but this is the general oi)inion 

 of all the farmers in my locality. 



Yours very truly, 



1\[. A. Harney, 



Geyser, Mont., July 24, ly34. 

 Dear Sir: 



In answer to your letter of a few days ago in regard to results of poison 

 bait, will say we have had really good results and especially on our oats. 

 But Ave do not want to forget that we still have a lot of work ahead of us 

 this fall if we intend to be able to seed any winter wheat. Also plans for 

 next year's battle should be laid now and not wait until it is too late 

 next year. 



Respectfully yours, 



Robert J. McKenna. 



Moore, Mont.. July 27, 1934. 

 Dear Sir: 



In regard to the grasshopper poison will say that I am very well pleased 

 with the results obtained. Fields that were poisoned right had practica ly no 

 damage while others that were not poisoned had much damage. 



Yours truly, 



Marvin Meisser. 



Buffalo, Mont., July IS, l!t34. 

 Dear Sir: 



Had it not been for the grasshopper control program, I would have had 

 very little crop this year, and if the poison is properly handled certainly kills 

 the hoppers. Unless something happens to the eggs tl'.is winter grasshoppers 

 will be bad next year. 



A'cry truly yours, 



R. E. Merrv.
