 spring must destroy large numbers of them. To be effective, the 

 burning must be close and thorough, and the burned space either

 because the females hibernate very close to the base of the stems, 

 and a close burn after the green blades appear cannot be obtained. 



"The damage appears to be most severe on worn-out meadows, 

 fields and lawns. This suggests stimulating the plants, to give
