GRASsHOPPER FIGHT
SAVED IDAHO CROPS
A -Grasshoppers Fight 10 rounds
EXTENSION DEPARTMENT OF
THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO
TELLS WHAT WAS DONE

Grasshopper killing in Lewis coun-
ty last summer saved crops worth
$327, OPT; the whole expenditure OF
the university extension division fol-
the year was only $285,128.28; the
total appropriation Of state money
for the extension division for the BIZ
ennium was 100000. This compari-
son was made at the offices Of the
University of Idaho extension divi-
sion Saturday, to show that enough
had been saved by the killing of
grasshoppers in one county ITO more
than pay for the years extension
work in the entire state.
A total Of 3175 pounds of white
arsenic, 900 pounds of Paris green,
1900 dozen lemons, 1900 gallons of
molasses and about $4,000 pounds of
bran were used in this campaign"
says a report of the Lewis county
grasshopper campaign, from County
Agent A. E. Wade. "The cost Of
materials was about $4,000, and it is
estimated that the labor of mixing
and applying the poison would be
about the same, making total cost
of about $4,000.
"The number of acres actually de-
stroyed in the county was 1872 and
total acreage treated 6752, and when
it is taken into consideration that the
area treated was little more than the
actual area upon which the hoppers
were Matching by millions, one can
form some sort of an idea of the
number of hoppers that were poison
ed in this campaign.
con one farm where a count was
mace, over 300 dead grasshoppers
were found in space the size of a
mans hat.
''The saving of crops, figuring on
the basis of reports received from A
farmers who used about 1917 per cent
of the total amount of poison sold for
this purpose, was $339,O27. Subtract
ing the expense of materials and work
leaves net savings on crops of about
1927 OPT.
From the quantity Of grasshopper
eggs laid during the fall of 1918 it
was apparent that there would be a
large number of hoppers to fight
during 1919. Consequently at winter
meetings the matter was discussed
and orders were taken for poison by
the community committeeman in pest
control.
ION May 7. posters were put up in
conspicuous places in the county. |
articles were published in the county
papers and letters were sent to COM
munity committeeman to be on the |
lookout for grasshoppers and to re-
port to the county agent if demon
strations were needed in the com
munity in the mixing of poison bait.
Arrangements were also made
the druggists to furnish arsenic and |
molasses at cost plus 10 per cent and |
with the grocers to furnish lemons on ,
the same basis. Inquiry also was
made to ascertain if there was suf
ficient bran on hand to meet the
Thirteen mixing demonstrations
were given in the different commune
ties in the following month. Pressure
also was brought to bear on anyone
reported as having grasshoppers and
not poisoning them, by having the
neighbors all call him up individually
and draw his attention to the matter
This method worked out admirably in
the few cases reported. In fact, from

are also coming up for trial.
The divorce cases are fpre-eminent
on a docket that is otherwise lighter

cases are few and with tho Exception
of three or four, unimportahf Among
the more interesting of thes c1vil cases
is new trial in the suit of %; c. Ches-

The suit was originally bfCught for
SIS. 900. Chesley charging THAT he had
been appointed general agSRt for the
company in Kansas and several other
states; that the company lo3k out a
license to do business in Kansas but
failed to do so in the other states, by
reason of which the PLAINTIFF claimed
he wasidamaged in the amount asked.
When the case came to Srial before
Judge Whitcomb, Chesley WAS given
a judgment for $4,000 as hssl damages

have had a contract for ten gears and
his damages were based on th2 amount

however, the $4,000 JUDGMENT was
