Miller Huggins of St. All of the munagers in the two big baseball leagues have had actual ex- perience in the game. Even Stallings was a big league catcher many years ago. Of the sixteen managers one 18 & catcher, two are first basemen, two second basers, one shortstop and two | outflelders—eight, in all, still in the Bill Dahlen of Brooklyn. game. All the Test, eXCepl MacK ana Stallings, have been in the game so | recently that they can practice with their men and know, by actual feel of the bat and ball. just how every- Louis. thing 18 going along. Two—McGraw and Jennings—ure graduates of the great Baltimore team. Three—Chance, Evers and Tinker—worked together 1 on the conquering Cubs. Oddly enough, | three more—Dahlen, Callahan and | Griffith—all had their schooling on the \ Chicago team that preceded the Cubs. —a gang of merry “joy-riders,” whose | Individual abilities were great, but | who could win no flags. Stallings is a come-back. Evers, Tinker and Huggins got their first show this spring. Chance. has | been transferred from one league to | the other. As to the actual skill and | knowledge of the game these man- | agers may possess—it might be figured | this way: If each of them had the arm and the wind that he had a few years ago what team of either league could stand against them? How far would any club get if matched against this aggregation: Dooin, catcher; Griffith and. Callahan, pitchers; Chance, first; Hvers or Huggins, sec |ond; Jennings, Dahlen or Tinker, short; McGraw, third; Clarke, Bir | mingham, Stahl, outfield.

W. HOWARD, Aatist- + ant Entomologist, University Farm, 8t. Paul. [ . * bbbt bbb b bbbt bt It 18 too early for us to predict pos- itively whether grasshoppers will be destructive during the coming season or not. - They were abundant in many parts of the state last summer andlaid eggs in large numbers during the late summer and autumn. Although they wWere 80 numerous two factors prevent- ed any serious injury to crops. The cold, wet weeks in May and early June retarded the development of the hoppers, while the crops were given a stimulus so that they were well along before the hoppers were large enough to do any harm. Later, when they might have attacked the heads of the grain, there was enough succulent grasi and weeds between the grain to provide them with the necessary nourishreat. Should the coming season be of a sim- ilar nature we probably need not fear any loss from grasshoppers, but if it should be a dry summer, especially in the first half, a condition which not only favors the.development of the hoppers but also retards the growth of vegetation, including the ‘crops, we may expect considerable loss. Even in good seasons the presence of grasshoppers is not desirable, if for no other reason than that they may form the nuclei from which a de- structive horde may develop during a | succeeding dry season. A little pre- vention during such years is worth a large- amount of cure at a later date. In Minnesota it seems that we must adopt a combination of methods of de- struction with which to combat these pests, i. e, a combination of cultural and spraying methods. Fall plowiag is the best cultural method, followed by disking. This is adopted where hop- pers have deposited their egg cases in flelds intended for cultivation, but is just as applicable to uncultivated or reverted flelds where egglaying has taken place. It is now too late to ad- vise this course of actton, but where egg-laying areas are known it is not too late to do something. Such areas should be ‘'spring plowed just before or when young hoppers are hatching out. If there is no time for plowing, these flelds may be gone over with a disk harrow. Areas plowed in the fall should also be disked in the spring. The date of hatching may be ascer- tained by observation. It occurs any time between the first week in May to early in June, depending upon tem- perature conditions. The best results will probably be ob- tained by spraying in the spring. Grasshoppers have a great’ fondness for depositing their eggs in the ratker firm soil of roadways, ditches, revert- ed fields, and similar areas. In these places the young hoppers hatch out and sooner or later move into the|. crops. It is ‘not always possible to plow or disk such areas in the fall, but a sweetened poison spray” can be placed upon the young grass which will serve as their first food in the spring. The spray should be applied as soon ‘as the hoppers are hatched from the eggs. Delay may prove fa- tal as they may move very quickly in- to the crops where it is not as easy to carry out repressive measures. Promptness of action means saving of time, labor and money, because.it en- ables one to carry out the work oyer comparatively small areas, with the same eventual results. The spray:is made as follows: ¥ Sodium arsenite, 3 pounds; water,|: 180 gallons; molasses, 13 gallons.” If a smaller quantity of the spray is sufficient use the above ingredients in the same proportion. Any spray pump which is used in fleld or orchard spraying can be used, although the fleld sprayer is best. Even a bucket spray pump may be employed. The spray should be ap- plied, preferably in the early morning, before the hoppers feed, in a fine mist, leaving the grass and weeds with a dew-like covering of the solution. If the area is small it should be entirely covéred with spray. If large, a border .about two to four rods wide around ‘the outside may be sprayed, and also several strips through the field, check- er-board fashion. Grasshoppers ate extremely fond of sweet substances, and are sure to eat grass or other plants covered with this aweet.nod poison. Remember that spraying should be done as soon as the grasshoppers hatch, while they are still very small, say one-quarter of an inch long, as they soon begin to move away from their nursery areas. KILL RUSSIAN THISTLES. Prevent Russian thistles from ma- turing by cultivation or harrowing. The plants are easily destroyed while small, but if they mature, they should be gathered and burned before they break loose and .blow away, scatter- ing seeds as they go. Good plowing and careful seeding or planting so as to occupy the land fully will prevent the growth of the Russian thistle fn most seasons. ‘Plants growing on ‘waste places should be:destroyed or burned at maturity to prevent seeds. blowing over the fields. ‘Any one interestéd in identifylng and eradicating our common - weeds should write for a copy of Minnesotd| Station Bulletin 129.—Andrew Boss, Agriculturist, University Farm, St For Protection Against Hall.
