Grasshopper Menace Aerial Spraying Advocated at Morawa
A Morawa meeting of road and read boards urged aerial spraying to destroy grasshoppers and curb noxious weeds and sheep lice. Speakers pressed for rapid government action, citing eastern states success and the need for universal, coordinated control with aerial methods and existing ground measures. They called for stricter penalties for harboring infested sheep and asked the state to adopt 1940 aerial strategies statewide.
