MANY STATES HIT
BY GRASSHOPPERS
1000 Square Miles of Havoc
in South Dakota Brings
Appeal to U. S.

The already burdened Western farm
pr is facing additional trouble this sea-
son in one of the most serious out
breaks of grasshoppers in decade.
The chief damage has been noted in
South Dakota, Nebraska, Eastern Colo
RADIO. Idaho and Western Kansas, al
though there has been an increase in
insect infeStation throughout the coun-
try as a result OF the drought last year.
With an area of IL 900 square miles
invaded in South Dakota, appeals have
been made to the Agriculture Depart
ment for funds with which to combat
the insect.
Extensive fields OF wheat have been
destroyed Fears are now felt that corn
may be attacked. Cutworms also have
been unusually prevalent this year
throughout the Middle West. Two Seri-
Gus outbreaks of army worms have oc-
CURED in Posey County, Ind, and
Shelby County, KY.
HesSian Fly Inactive.
In the wheat belt. however, the Hes
sian fly is again inactive.
Past experience has shown a serious
infestation may be expected every six
or seven years, but none has been
recorded in about y years
The Agriculture Department has no
funds available for control work.
Drought loans cannot be used for that
purpose Dispatching field agents into
the most seriously affected counties OF
South Dakota and Nebraska to assist
in placing poison bait TO kill the grass
hoppers.
Fight to Last Two Years.
w. R. Walton, department entomol-
ogist said today the outbreak in those
States probably would not be placed
under control for at least two years.
Ordinarily, he said severe infestations
last about three years. The grass
hopper appeared this year in June, an
unusual early date. due to the mild
Winter and warm Spring. AS result
of their early appearance they are eX-
pected to multiply before the Summer
is over.
Nebraska appropriated $4,000 for
control work this year. Farmers have
been urged to pillow fields under, in
which large beds of graSshopperS have
have been located.

In many fields, all living plants have

Drought has helped keep down weeds

While some cornfelds in this region
were barren, others still appear green

Small grains have been hit hard by
the pests. Some have been harvested.
but numerous fields have been ADAM

for hay, because of curtailed yield.
The grasshopper devastation was
most apparent in corn. In one eX-

GLACIERS REMOVED
ORE IN 0XIDEZED ZONES

The relatively recent erosive
action of the glaciers has re-
moved most Of the oxidized zone.
and. except where gold l. pres
emit, the oxidized portions Of the
veins are Of little or no value.
The most Influential factor Ia
this area in locaIizing the ore
deposits is the geologic structure.
rather than the kind Of wall
rock The largest ore bodies thus
far discovered are in or near
steeply dipping faults and shear
zones that cut across the bedding.
Some Of the x0nes OF shearing
are not accompanied by weIl-de-
fined faults, though they are per-
sistent and the aggregate amount
of displacement along them Is
notable.
The fracturing and shearing Of
the rocks have created channels.
and along the more aecesslble
and permeabae Of these channels
0re-bearing solutions have moved
and deposited metals. Any OF the
sedimentary rocks or the dark
coloref siiIs or bikes may be
wall rocks for ore.
