Grasshoppers
Reports received at the County
Agent's office indicate that the grass-
hopper plague will be greater this
year than It was last season. Farm
ers are beginning to realise the sltua
tlon and are making preparations to
combat the pest. Last Friday the
farmers of the Darlington community
perfected an organization for the pur
pose of purchasing poison ingredients
in large quantities, preparing it at a
central location and distributing it to
those who desire it, at ft minimum
cost. Other communities will organ-
ize in a like manner.
The hoppers have already made
their appearance, weather conditions
or parasites may stop their ravages,
but the best remedy is concerted ac-
tion by farmers all ovei* the County.
Delay may be ufitold damage by this
pest.
