GETTING RESULTS IN
GRASSHOPPER FIGHT

The war of tho Imperial Valley
I1ancher against the devastation by
grasshoppers is being affected by the
great war in Europe. Secretary Mel
son of the County Farm Bureau says
the stocks of paris green goison on
hand in Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco drug houses are not only low,
but the prices quoted are far higher
than in normal times.
"The drug houses are quoting only
subject to immediate ORDERS" he said
this morning. "They also report trou-
BILE in getting new supplies
The County Farm Bureau this morn
ing received shipment of paris green
from a wholesale drug company in
Los Angeles. 1t was less than 200
Iounds, but it was the entire stock of
the house. The demand for poison was
SO great at the Farm Bureau head
Quarters today that telegraphic inquiry
ito other wholesale firms was immedi-
ately made to get new supply.
The Farm Bureau has made change
in the poison it~handles. In the mix
ture it distributed over the valley when
Assistant Farm Adviser Dougherty of
Perkeley was in the valley to assist it,
white arsenic was used. The Bureau
is now handling the ingredients in
packages and under the state poison
law white arsenic cannot be sold pure
except by licensed pharmacist. E.
Walter e. Packard, director at large
OF the Bureau, says both poisons- are
equally effective and that both have
heen used on the hoppers in the valley
this spring with excellent results from
both. He believes that where either
poison is dissolved in water as the first
operation in mixing that better results
follow. Paris green dissolves more
readily than white arsenic.
The necessity Of battling the hop
lers in the districts where they are
thick has aroused the ranchers. The
less of entire hay crops and of cotton
is strong probability where some ac-
tion is not taken, they say.
W. W. Skinner, living northeast of
town, came in this morning for suffi-
cient poison to cover 60 acres.
'If l don't get rid of them in 80
days l won't have bit Of feed" he
said. 81 never saw them as bad as
they are this year.
E. l.. Beckworth, living southwest,
was also in town this morning.
"The grasshoppers are very seri-
Gus problem in our district" he said.
"They are worse than last year and
remember that last August l figured
that the hoppers On my place ate as
rluch as 60 head of stock"
T. w. Broadnax, well known
rancher living west of Heber, said this
morning that some emergency action
should be taken to compel all land
owners in affected districts to clean
up. The situation is critical, he de-
ciared, and the good intentions of sew
eral ranchers who wish to rid their
places of the pests are defeated by
others who refuse.
