PLANES TO FIGHT
PEST WITH POISON
Western Iowa Farmers Plan
War to Check Havoc Of
Grasshoppers.
Nv the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, July 2s.-Aerial
warfare, with airplanes spreading poison
mash over cornfields threatened by an
army Of grasshppperS, was in prospect
for Western Iowa farmers today.
The horde which leveled fields in Ne
braska and South Dakota has also done
great damage to Western Iowa crops
and constitutes growing menace to the
entire State, entomologists asserted
here.
State officials have adopted tenta-
tive plan for combating the plague, but
agricultural experts will work out de-
tails. The State will furnish poison
bran to be spread on waste lands and
highways, and the poison will be sold at
wholesale prices to farmers in the in
Tested areas.
State expenses in the fight will be
paid from the $4,000 corn borer fund.
Attorney General John Fletcher and
Budget Director Oscar Anderson have
approved the expenditure.
Arrangements were being made today
70 secure bids for use of airplanes to
'dust" fields with the poison mash.
County agents and specialists from Iowa
State College, at AmeS. announced that
q meeting will be held Thursday at Mis-
6OuIl Ndley CI IAiol
similar conferences will follow at other
points in the hopper area.
DR.. c. J. Drake, State entomologist,
ct a meeting here yesterday with agri-
culturists and State officials, urged i'm
mediate action to check the outbreak
while it can be done at nominal
COST
He said that immediate action was
necessary, as the hoppers this week
began depositing eggs in the SOIL Unless
the pest is controlled now, he said, the
situation will be even more critical next
Spring.

the Charleston" and was given
a demonstration by Eakin tnat
pleased him greatly.
After the dance exhibit the

hear a few college yells and Eakip
acting as cheer leader turned his
back on the King and Queen to
the CONSERVATION of natives OF
the country. The slight was over
looked, however, and the monarch
of Siam again applauded the col
lege students, his people follow
ing suit.
