new omens today to warn farmers OF
an old enemy-drought.

drought. Fairbanks had high of 81
degrees and Dawson "a.
A crop-killing drought created an
emergency in the Dakotas and Mon
tana, and crops suffered from dryness
also in parts of Wyoming, Indiana.
Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and the
Carolinas. Live stock was being moved
from some sections.
A survey disclosed that grasshoppers
were sWarming over grain fields in
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma,
Missouri and Montana, and spotted in
festations we're reported in Illinois,
Wisconsin and Colorado.
Or. Leonard Haseman, head OF Mis-
souri, University's entomology depart
ment, said the hopper scourge was
worse than that of 1872, but not
as bad in Missouri as in some of the
Northern States The damage will in
crease, he said, with more dry weather.
