WAR IS LAUNCHED
ON GRASSHOPPERS
Heavy Deposits of Eggs
Arouse Fears for This
Years Crops.
BY PAUL d. SHOEMAKER,
Associated Press Farm Editor

CHICAGO. March l0.-Unusually
heavy deposits OF egg pods, from which
will spring hordes of hungry grass
hoppers, raised fears among Midwest
ern farmers today that crop destruc-
ton by the pest this year was poten-
TALLY greater than in 1887.
Throughout the area known as the
"breadbasket of America" billions of
hopper eggs need only the warmth of
late spring, without too much cold
rain, to hatch. Then the pests would
be ready to gorge themselves on tender
wheat. corn, oats alfalfa and other
vegetation.
Manifestly concerned with the
problem Of crop protection, United
States Department of Agriculture ex-
perts are now conducting a survey of
some 20 States. preparing for a cam
paign against the pests, which have
become quite prevalent each spring
and summer since the 1884 drought.
Already farmers in some Of the more
seriously infested States have mobil-
lied. Committees are being organized
to direct the spreading of poison bait
provided by the Government and CO.
operating States on a county-town-
ship-community basis.
Department of Agriculture officials
estimated 'hoppers destroyed crops
worth s66.o0o,00o in "a States last
year. This was about two-thirds of
the 1896 damage and authorities at
tributed a major portion of the de-
crease to use Of poison bait
Seven Western States, Montana,
Idaho. Colorado, Utah, Wyoming,
Oregon and Nevada, in addition to
grasshopper troubles, face heavy in
festations Of Mormon crickets.
The situation was regarded so seri-
GUS that Congress appropriated $2,-
100000 this month for insect pest
control, providing the money earlier
than usual. Field Offices to direct
activities have been set up at Min
neapolis and Salt Lake City.
The prevalence of heavy egg de-
posits this year-as many as 1000
eggs were found in a square foot of
soil in Iowa-was attributed by ento-
mologists to favorable weather late
last summer and fall, making possible
an unusually long laying season.
A cold. wet spring might not be
ideal for growing crops. but entomolo-
gists said farmers would be recon-
pensed by fewer grasshoppers. Cold
and moisture would prevent many
eggs from Matching and cause the
death Of many newly Matched hop

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 10.-Opera-
tions Of the copper and brass fabri-
eating companies continue to reflect
a stagnant demand for their products.
Customers apparently are reducing
their own inventories to q minimum
before placing new orders for fabri-
Gated metal. Many plants are said
to be operating at the lowest rate
since 1882. according to the Stand
ard Statistics Co.
This is apparently confirmed by
the statistics covering deliveries of
refined metal to the fabricating
plants. Mining companies shipped
1880 tons of copper in December
and 24,9oo tons in January, 1888, to
the fabricators These are the low
est figures in more than four years.
Zinc producers shipped out 29. $50 tons
in December and 24,930 tons n Janu-
airy. or approximately the rate pre-
vailing in the summer of 1884. Dur
ing the early part of 1887, copper de-
liveries to fabricators averaged 10000
tons monthly and zinc deliveries
about $4,000 tons monthly.
OF the leading consumers Of fabri-
Gated metal products, the automobile
trade at the moment IS making rela-
lively the worst showing in compare
son with 1887. Some improvement
IN automobile production is expected
later in the spring. The accessory
dealers and the car makers as well
are believed to have been we'll stocked
with metal requirements at the turn
OF the year. These stocks are being
worked off now, and the auto indus
try will probably re-enter the market
for metal shapes some time later in
the spring.
