To Destroy Grasshopper Nests.

The breeding ground of the grasshoppers that annually spread over Sutter and Yuba counties is believed centered around the Sutter Buttes, and farmers in Sutter county are planning an aggressive campaign against the pests next year, with thy idea of killing off the hoppers, before they become strong enough to migrate. Thd grounds around the Buttes are chiefly arid grazing lands. According to Insect specialists, the Buttes grasshoppers are similar to the Utah pests, In whdse breeding places 25,200 eggs to the square foot are deposited.—San'Francisco Chronicle.
