More Hoppers To Be Expected For This Year
STILLWATER March 31 Spl C P F Stiles extension entomologist of Oklahoma A M college was in Minneapolis Mn last week conferring with federal grasshopper control officials on Oklahoma's poison allotments for 1929. The specialist estimates 2 200 tons of bait will be needed for the 1939 poisoning campaign. Last year 9 727 538 worth of crops were saved farmers by the extension insect control program in the state. Stiles estimates hoppers will attack crops in the western part of the state about as badly as they have in recent years especially in the southwestern and panhandle counties. From 1934 to 1938 conditions were very favorable to grasshopper development. As a result large populations have built up all over the state with the exceptions at extreme southeastern counties in spite of the 3 829 tons of poison baits scattered by farmers in 1937 and 7 900 tons in 1938.
