Prepare For Grasshoppers Weather May Aid In Battle
County agent Jones reports Dr. C J Drake states farmers should prepare for grasshoppers with a worst infestation ahead yet rain and damp weather may trigger fungus diseases that kill many hoppers. While 1937 does not start like a grasshopper year, weather could aid control efforts.

Early poison control urged to curb grasshopper hoppers
Dr Drake estimates 90 to 95 percent grasshopper kill with properly placed poison at the right time. Success depends on early poisoning before migrations and on full farmer cooperation, as Iowa counties like Shelby kept damage low last year. A committee plans an early start to ensure effective control.
