(Associated Press GRASSHOPPER ~ DROUGHT LAND - VILLAIN NOW Develops Wings, to Become | Migratory Locust, Wldemma Range By STEPHEN J. McDONOUGH (Associated Press Science Editor) WASHINGTON, July grasshopper, companion with drought on the is reported by the Bureau of En- tomology be using a trick of volution to develop its wings and become again the migratory locust| which dcvastated the pioneer crops| mn the 1880’s. e | 20 20 The scourge western plains, to At the same time insects of all | kinds were reported prospering at the expense of man despite the irought. Some failed to survive | the extreme cold last winter in large numbers but others making up for | The grasshopper is called the year's worst pest by J. A. Hyslop entomologist of the bureau. “It is growing wings to fly in- | stead of hop and is on the move | over wide areas, leaving the burned out fields of small grains in the drought area to carry destruction | to relatively unaffected sections,” he declared : It Happened Before Not since the 1880's when similar dry, hot conditions prevailed, has the grasshopper developed its wings to extend the range of his devasta- ticn, he added, and the recent suc- | sion of dry years responsi- e. The insect has made the change in an effort to survive. Ordinarily the wings are stubby appendages, The grasshopper situation is madg much worse, Hyslop said, by a lack of poison bait, such as was used | effectively in 1934 through Federal aid. Only $250,000 was made available this year for the purchase and distribution of 160,000 gallons of poison and 6,000 tons of bran and | this supply has already been ex- | hausted. Huge Areas Wasted The 'hoppers have been most de- | structive in Oklahoma where they ;have destroyed 50,000 acres of cot- ton and at least 50,000 acres of corn, according to Dr. P. N. An- nand of the Bureau of Entomology They are a menace, he added, in Iowa, Montana, Missouri, Nebraska, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Kansas and Colorado. Chinch bugs have not been such a serious pest in midwestern states as they have been during the past | six years because of extensive win- ter-killing, Hyslop said, although, it has done some damage in eastern | Towa, Nebraska, Kansas and Ok- lahoma. Cutworms of many species have been “especially abundant through- out the greater part of the coun- try,” he added, and serious wir worm injury has occurred already in the South Atlantic States, the | Gluf region, the Mississippi Valley and the Great Basin. Little commercial crop damage| | to wheat by one of its worst ene- mies, the hessian fly, has been re=- corded although heavy infestations| have occurred from New York westward to Iowa, Other Pests Numerous Corn and tomatoes have suffered | from stalk borers, and in Missis- sippi and Tennessee the sugar-cane | beetle damaged considerable corn. The codling-moth, one of the prin- cipal enemies of fruit growers, was | reported increasing rapidly in the| middle Atlantic, and East Central| States despite heavy nwrmlnm during the winter, | The boll weevil situation in cot- | ton is described as “not very bad” compared with previous years, while cankerworms are appearing in “un- throughout New England, the Middle Atlantic and East Central States and westward' is |a kitchen PRETTY FILM EXTRA SLAIN; ARREST MADE Petectives Invo\llgatmg Wllldel Cabe mn MOVle Lolony.

Lois Wilson, who has persisted in loving him for many years, doesn't like the way things are going but hopes for a change. It comes when Horton's parasitic sister demands that he return mon- ey loaned him years before and when frends turn deaf ears to his pleas for a touch Horton does an about face that startles his fellow citizens and cre- a number of hilarious comedy |situations and brings the picture !to a romantic climax. \UNCLE OF CABINET MEMBER COMES HERE John Wallace of Des Moines, Towa, uncle of Secretary of Agri- culture Henmry A.

Mr. Wallace contrasted Alaska's foliage with the situation in the drought-stricken Middle West. He stated that the weather has ruined the corn crop in wide areas of the prairie states, and in few places will anything like a normal crop be harvested. Small grains, how- ever, are moderately good, he add- ed tate >-eo ENDS VACATION Terminating a six months' vaca- tion in the States, George Smith, veteran Copper River Railway shop man, returned recently after an extensive trip through the East Mr. Smith says that six months was all too short as he had 11 different families of the Smith |elan to visit in various parts of |the country.
