Buenos, Aires, Dec. 10.-(By maiD
Minister of Agriculture Honorie
Puerrydon wants congress to appro-
pirate 100000 francs (about $780,
900 United States money! to be given
as a prize to anybody who supplies
Argentina with an effective scheme
for exterminating grasshoppers, or
locusts, as they are locally known.
The pest here is nearly as bad as
in Kansas and other western parts
of the United States for few seasons
20 or 80 years ago. Crops this year
have suffered enormously from the
grasshoppers' appetites.
Congress favors the appropriation
but many members think the minis
ter has set his figure unnecessarily
high. Puerrydon insists on the sum
he has mentioned and may get it.
