City Park Superintendent Robert Fair notes odd habits in the grasshopper life history. He mentions a family of 100 or more hoppers and describes the female egg deposition late in August to early September. The interview reflects the insect's fascinating behavior and the public interest in park wildlife.
The article details egg deposition sites in uncultivated ground with alfalfa favored, notes one can step on a grasshopper near an egg nest for future hatches, and outlines the nymph stages. It describes egg glue protection, color changes from white to soil color, five molts, and increased vulnerability and parasite risk at the fifth stage.
A clipped passage discusses insect and plant behavior. It mentions a grasshopper seeking shade in the warm parts of the day and hints at perceptions of insect intelligence. The text is incomplete and lacks clear names or dates.
In Brookings July 22 special report Roy A Cave argues trench silos would preserve rough feed, helping South Dakota farmers winter livestock. He cites thousands of breeding cattle sold out of state over six years due to feed shortages, especially in central and western areas, harming herds and income. Silage lasts eight to 12 years when well packed, and trench silos cost only labor to build.
Cave argues that storing 150 or more tons of corn or cane silage in trench silos in good years can solve feed shortages in crop failure years. A Nebraska survey found 32,004 trench silos in use, with 12,000 built last year, and farmers there reported satisfaction with the method.
