Grasshoppers ravaging the fields OF

left little hope for their control this
season.
This information was made public
by DR.. w. H. Larrimer, entomologist.
on the basis Of reports received BY the
Agriculture Department yesterday. He
said the poisoning campaign In the in
tested States was being conducted &C.
lively and that by continuing 1t through

age from almost certain outbreaks next
year might be minimized.
The department Is receiving prelim-
mary reports Of insect damage in the
Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa. Minnesota
and Montana. Detailed reports are to
come soon from country agents.
George l. Hoffman, director Of the
Seed Loan Once, discussed the eitua-

He Is expected to make known soon
how much Federal aid can be given
