Hopper Poisoning

\A/TTH drought and chinch bugs playing
w havoc with much Of the wheat crop in
the West. the Department of Agriculture is
bending every effort to prevent the grasshop-
pers from making even worse the already seri-
Gus conditions in the wheat fields.
The warfare on the hoppers requires haste
and care. for they must be attacked shortly
after they hatch The usual-in fact, the best
method of control is through the use of poison
bats. The Government is supplying the neces-
sary munitions, 81 900 tons of poison bait hav-
ing been shipped into the threatened area. The
bait is a mixture containing so pounds of
coarse bran, 20 pounds of sawdust. pounds
of crude arsenic and l Y gallons Of cane mo-
lasSes
At the time the mixture is to be spread In
the fields from 10 to 20 gallons OF water
added to the bait.
The bait is usually spread on the ground early
in the morning soon after sunrise 1t must be
spread very thinly and over the entire area to
be treated in order that the hoppers when
first Matched may find it at hand and feed on
it, with fatal results. Hit-or-miss placing of
the bait permits too many of the hoppers to get
away from the baited sections and thus
escape destruction.
The bait also Is placed in the path of mi
grating hoppers which move forward in q
seemingly endless cloud The hoppers, ever
greedy, feed readily on the bait and may be
killed by the thousands in this manner.

~ 29-An ambitious, scrapping
Rice eleven outplayed a pow

half today and gained a 9to-9 tie
with the highly touted invaders from
the Southeastern Conference.
The Tigers had to come from be-
hind to escape their first defeat since
1892. The Owls held 9-to-0 lead
early in the fourth period and it took
some excellent kicking by Abe Mickal
and hard running by Mickal and the
feet Rock Reed to enable the Bengals
to pull up even on touchdown and
safety.
McCauley's pass to Witt paved the
way for the first Rice score. Mickal
tipped the pass, but Witt grabbed it
and raced to the l5-yard line for a
33-yard gain. The Owls could make
only 7 yards in three trys so the
heady McCauley called for a try for
field goal. Leche Sylvester sent the
pigskin between the uprights from Is
