How to Control Grasshoppers.
The drone of the grasshopper hasn’t
had that menacing twang for the last
few years because they’ve come to
Texas in such small numbers as to be
of little importance, and it is not an-
ticipated that any general damage will
be done this season. They were found
laying their eggs in a few places last
fall, however, and farmers in scatter-
ed sections may soon find that some-
thing needs to be done about it. These
eggs begin to hatch in April, as a rule,
especially if a period of warm rains
occur.
“Poisoned bran mash will beeeme
effective wherever damage becomes
serious,” says R. R. Reppert, Entomol-
ogist in the extension Service, and
gives this formula: Mix up 20 pounds
of bran, one pound of Paris Green, two
quarts of cane molasses, and six lem-
ons, using both the juice and the rind.
The lemons should be run through a
meat grinder. Mix up with enough
water to make a thoroughly moist but
not sloppy mash. (If the molasses is
mixed with the water it will be easier
to get the molasses better distributed
through the mixture.) Five pounds
of this mixture should be enough for
one acre of [infested field applied
broadcast. Usually it is unnecessary
to poison an entire field but only the
edge where the infestation is worst.
Grasshoppers generally invade fields
from adjoining pastures or woodlands
and where they are found there in
large numbers, it’s wise to scatter poi.
son along the fence rows or borders of
these laces, sometimes taking in a
considerable margin.
Petroleum and natural gas repre-
sent the most important mineral re-
sources of Texas, but granite, marble,
graphite, gold, silver, copper, iron,
icthyol, lead, zinc, tin, quicksilver
(mercury), sulphur, borax, gypsum
and mica are found in either the Cen-
tral Mineral or the Trans-Pecos re-
gion, while coal and lignite are pro-
duced in many parts of the state.
Potash and other valuable minerals
are known to exist in Texas, but have
not been developed. Asphalt, carbon
black, celestite, cement, clays, includ-
ing several deposits of kaolin, Fuller’s
earth, gas, natural gasoline, guano,
limestone and lime, magansanese—all
are produced in Texas.
