NO FREE GRASSHOPPER rOlSONa
TOO LATE NOW TO USE POISON

The Examiner last week inquired
from the entomology and geology de-.
partment Of the State Agricultural col.
Of procuring free grasshopper poison
for distribution in Powder River coun-
ty: reply was received as follows:
.YHnr Letter ,oreE;ardnE the serious
P.wder River county received.
''ln reply will say that the federal or,
state soyernment have no funds with
poison: This year small amount of
federal money was used to combat
grasshoppers on some Indian land in
under the agreement that the farmers
in the community through county funds
would take care Of the rest Of the
used on vacant land from which grass.
hoppers were migrating to the crops.
The state entomcgolist has only .

This year in almost one-half the coun.
ties of the state the new law known

possible for county commissioners to
issue warrants in payment for supplies
the money later to be returned to the
county treasurer by special taxation
not to exceed one half a mill. This law
son to Individual farmers but to make
1t possible to put across a large grass
hopper campaign where benefit would
be received by the entire communities.
You will notice under the law the
sanction of the state entomOlOgist 10
required. In this regard I might Say
that this office believes that by this
time of the year when the grassh0p-
pers are winged and have spread over
large territory it is impossible to fight
them very successfully. The work
should be started soon after the eggs
have begun to hatch, during the latter
and before the young hoppers have
drifted far from the breeding grounds.
