Grasshoppers Still Plentiful in District War
Farmers report daily removal of poison bait as grasshoppers infest the district. Deloraine notes hoppers thick on rails slowing trains. E Lewis outlines a 1920s method: plow a 25 foot wide strip, disk, pack, then apply poison along the field edge to lure hoppers from the crop. Apply poison at dawn to ensure pests reach it, keep poison away from wheat, with black earth between poison and grain.
