  The 
  author 
  deals 
  further 
  with 
  remedies, 
  which 
  can 
  be 
  best 
  apphed 
  

   against 
  the 
  larvae, 
  as 
  all 
  other 
  stages 
  are 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  effectively 
  

   protected. 
  He 
  mentions 
  the 
  following 
  measures 
  : 
  — 
  (1) 
  Flooding 
  of 
  

   the 
  lucerne 
  crops, 
  which 
  remedy 
  cannot 
  however 
  be 
  of 
  importance 
  

   under 
  the 
  conditions 
  prevailing 
  in 
  the 
  Russian 
  steppes 
  ; 
  (2) 
  drawing 
  

   a 
  wire 
  broom 
  over 
  the 
  field 
  ; 
  (3) 
  harrowing 
  with 
  a 
  disc 
  harrow, 
  which 
  

   is 
  the 
  best 
  remedy 
  ; 
  and 
  (4) 
  burning 
  w^th 
  naphtha.

  The 
  authors 
  report 
  that 
  in 
  Negri 
  Sembilan 
  and 
  Selangor 
  there 
  was 
  a 
  

   marked 
  increase 
  of 
  locusts 
  during 
  the 
  first 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  year 
  1913. 
  

   Destruction 
  of 
  large 
  numbers 
  of 
  hoppers 
  has 
  been 
  carried 
  out, 
  though 
  

   the 
  work 
  was 
  only 
  in 
  the 
  experimental 
  stage. 
  By 
  far 
  the 
  most 
  

   important 
  of 
  the 
  food-plants 
  of 
  these 
  insects 
  are 
  grasses, 
  especially 
  

   "lalang" 
  and 
  "love-grass," 
  commonly 
  found 
  along 
  the 
  roads 
  in 
  those 
  

   districts. 
  These 
  form 
  their 
  staple 
  food 
  supply, 
  but 
  should 
  the 
  insects
