ForCounty
Is Announced

The loan rate for Big Horn
county will be $1.79 per bushel
for No. l wheat under the
wheat price support program
for the 1949 crop, it has been
announced by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, through
the local AGA office.
Information will be available
at the county AGA office in
the near future as to applica-
BILE premiums and discounts for
the various qualities of the
1949-crop wheat, which will
differ slightly from those in
effect for the 1913 crop.
The national average farm
loan rate for 1949 crop wheat
is $1.95 per bushel, as compared
to last years rate of So per
bushel. AS required by appli-
cable legislative provisions, the
price support reflects 90 per
cent of parity at the beginning

which is SIT per bushel. For
the same date last year, the
wheat price parity was 1922
per bushel. -
Only wheat grading No. 3
or better, or No. 4 or No. 5
because of test weight or be-
cause it contains wheat of the
classes durum or red durum,
will be eligible for loan or pur-
chase. The loans will be avail
able through January, 1850, and
will mature on April 80, 1850,
or earlier on demand. The

Complete Phase
In Hopper
Batting Program

The first phase of the range
grasshopper control program
has been completed in Big
Horn county with nearly $780,
600 acres of infestation baited,
according to N. A. Jacobsen,
county extension agent.
Control areas covered include
Hanging Woman creek, $4,000
acres; Decker, $4,000 acres;
Pine Ridge, 10000 acres; Tul-
lock creek $4,000 acres, and
BeauVaiS creek, $4,000 acres.
These areas were baited by
plane under direction of the
Bureau of Entomology and
Plant Quarantine.
Bait used in the control ar
cas- consisted of a bran-toXa-
phene mixture. The original
rate of five pounds of bait per
acre proved too little for heavy
grasshopper infestations, so ap-
plicationS have been increased
to ten pounds per acre or
more as the hopper population
requires. Results on areas re-
eeiving ten pounds of bait ap-
pear quite satisfactory.
Continuation of the range
grasShopper program is DEEPEN
dent upon additional funds be-
ing appropriated. Special mea-
sures are now before Congress
to cover such appropriations.
If additional funds are avail
able the government will con-
tinue to bait other areas hav-
ing heavy grasshopper infesta-
lions.
Ranchers will be expected to
pay 10 cents an acre toward
the cost of batting with the
balance being paid by the fed
eral government. Control areas
consisting of about 10000 acres
or more must be organized IN
order to be accepted.
Ranchers who are interested
NAV inquire at the county
agents office in Hardin and
assistance will be given in or
ganizing control areas.
The Big Horn County Live
stock association will continue
to receive, deposit and disburse
all funds subscribed by coop
