Pest Districts to
Fight the Hoppers

Grasshoppers are giving Pueblo
county farmers lot Of trouble and
the organization of pest district In
Avondsle is being considered.
The laws regarding the formation Of
. pest district have been somewhat
revised making IL possible to form the
districts with more ease than former
~. In the past 1t has been necessary
to secure the signatures Of the owners
Of the majority Of the land In the dis
trict. In other words. the majority
Of the acreage had to be represented.
Such a rule made 1t possible for
large companies holding large tracts
Of land in the district and not desir-
ing to share the expense of eradicat-
Ing pests, to prevent the creation of .
pest district. The new rule provides
that the signatures OF majority of
the resident land owners to a petition
may bring about the formation OF the
district.
The pest district must not contain
more than 36 square miles, but it can
be OF any shape.
