PLANES T0 FIGHT PEST WITH POISON Western lowa Farmers Plan War to Check Havoc of Grasshoppers. By the Associated Press. DES MOINES, Iowa, July 29.—Aerial warfare, with airplanes spreading poison mash over cornfields threatened by an | army of grasshpppers, was in pros for Western Iowa farmers today. ‘The horde which leveled fields in Ne- . braska and South Dakcta has also done | greal damage to Western Iowa crops | &nd constitutes a growing menace to the | ;nflre State, entomologists asserted ere. . State officials have adopted a tenta- tive plan for combating the plague, but sgricultural experts will werk out de- tails. The State will furnish poison bran to be spread on waste lands and highways, and the poison will be sold at ‘wholesale prices to farmers in the in- fested areas. State expenses in the fight will be paid from the $50,000 corn borer fund. Attorney General John Fletcher and | Budget Directcr Oscar Anderson have approved the expenditure. | Arrangements were being made today to secure bids for use of airplanes to “dust” fields with the _poison mash. County agents and specialists from Iowa | State College, at Ames, announced that & meeting will b held Thursday at Mis- ' souri Valley cr Mond2min and that similar conferences will follow at other | points in the hopper area. Dr. C. J. Drake, State entomologist, at a meeting here yesterday with agri- sts and State officials, urged im- iate action to “check the outbre while it can be dcne at a nominal cost.” | He said that immediate action was necessary, as the hoppers this week | began depositing eggs in tiwe soil. Unless the pest is controlled n he said, the situation will be even more critical next Spring. 1932 PREVENTION PLANNED. Minnesota Authority Would Check Return of Pests. ST.
