Lentzmeier, Leader

Led by County Agent Lentzmeier,
all but three of the Stearns county
townships have been organized to
fight to save crops of farmers from
destruction by grasshoppers.
Congress is making a political
football out of the bill introduced
by Congressman Selvig, of this
state, apropriating $1,400,OOO for
the purchase and distribution of
poison food in the stricken area OF
the Northwest. Of this amount
$40, 900 will be available for Mime
sofa. The measure has passed the
U. s. Senate and made to bring to
final vote in the lower House
Monday.
The hoppers are probably hatch
ing in large numbers at this time.
by the middle of June they will
have developed into the flying stage
and the poison food will be useless.
If the Federal Aid is not available
there will be few thousand dollars
forthcoming from the state but not
enough to cope with the expected
situation competently.
The following is the personnel of
committees in each of the town.
