HOppers Spread
Plague i'm West
Crops Threatened

WASHINGTON, July 5. U.P)-
Black stem rust and grasshoppers
spread a plague across the Western
Plains that threatened today the
largest wheat crop in six years.
The department of agriculture
dispatched experts to areas where
grasshoppers have appeared in un-
precedented numbers. but there is
no method of fighting the even
more destructive rust
Extent of damage from rust, which
caused wheat stalks to fall to the
ground, will be determined by the
weather during the next 10 days
experts said.
Rust and hoppers, coupled with
extensive drought damage in west
ern Canada, have sent wheat prices
up six to eight cents a bushel dur
ing the past week. In the south
west, where the harvest is in full
swing, prices reached $l.35 a bushel.
Prices are at the highest harvest
season point since 1927. Coupled
with an expected record yield since
1881, wheat farmers may obtain
ST. 100, 100000 for This years crop
This would be the highest figure
since 1920.
