TO FIGHT THE GRASSHoPPER
Washington County Calls on State
Beard for Assistance.

Oklahoma City Okla, June 10
Washington County Commissioners
have passed resolutions calling on the
state board of agriculture for assist
anCe in combating the grasshoppei
plaque in the northern part of that
county. They will also make appro-
priations for Independent work of elm
mating the pests. The county agent,
who has been directing the poisoning.
has reported that progress is being
made and cooperation will result in
the saving of hundreds of acres Of
corn.
IN the other counties where the com
missioners have called on the board OF
agriculture for assistance, it is said the
pest is being eliminated. The board Of
agriculture will probably run out of
funds before the work is completed,
there having been but $4,000 of the
$4,000 fund carried over from last
year for this seasons work.
