Minnesota state entomologist Prof F L Washburn says grasshoppers began hatching weeks ago but few injurious species emerged recently. Cold rains since May 15 caused hoppers’ mortality, improving farmers’ outlook. Experiments with cattle show our spray against grasshopper pests does not injure cattle. A Aberdeen Angus sale is planned for June 26 at J H Horay farm near Estherville with a running sale between the city and farm.
