GRASSHC»>PERS. 



1 am intending to grow a field of asters 

 this season and wish to know how to pre- 

 vent grasshoppers (if they can be pre- 

 vented) from ruining the crop. Last 

 year they literally destroyed everything, 

 ate up my gladioli bodily, and everything 

 in sight. I sprayed with tobacco solu- 

 tions and Paris green without effect, but 

 pernaps did not take them in hand soon 

 enough. If you can give any suggestions 

 they will be appreciated. H. C. S. 



Grasshoppers are difficult to control. 

 Even if we use poisonous substances or 

 nicotine solutions on the foliage, it seems 

 to have no effect. There are such count- 

 less hordes of them that the killing of a 

 few thousands, even daily, makes no im- 

 pression. The trouble is always most 

 acute when grass land is in close prox- 

 imity to the flower crops. The grass 

 makes a natural fgod and home for them 

 and, if it is possible to keep the asters 

 some distance away from land laid down 

 to permanent pasture, it will cause a 

 marked diminution in the numbers of the 

 pests. 



Possibly there are other readers of the 

 Eeview who can tell us some practical 

 way of controlling grasshoppers. Such 

 information would be thankfully received 

 by many readers. C. W. 



I TAKE this opportunity to wish the 

 Eeview not one, but many years of con- 

 tinued success and prosperity. Each copy 

 is worth the dollar. — William Till, Mag- 

 nolia, Mass.
