Hopper outlook good despite 1938 comparisons
Dr. Carl J. Drake state entomologist at Iowa State College says the 1939 grasshopper survey shows heavy infestation from Pottawattamie county north along the Missouri river to Lyon county with scattered cases elsewhere. He notes baiting provided strong protection against crop damage and a fungal disease reduced hopper numbers in lowland areas.
