Grasshoppers
Eat Corn to
the Ground
Hunting Moisture. Experts Say
Worst Damage Is Near Lexing
ton and Broken Bow
Heavy damages to cornfields ot
Dawson and Custer counties, by
grasshoppers, was reported Monday
by L. M. Gates, state entomologist
thru the middle Platte valley and
adjacent territory.
Specimens of cornstalks, gnaw d
in two by greedy grasshoppers, were
brought back by Gates. Farmers of
the two counties. Gates said, an
taking steps to save their entire corn
crop from being wiped out.
After stripping most of the green
leaves from the corn, the hoppers
are cutting the stalks and eating
them down to tje ground. Hopper:
are attacking the stalk, the entt.m
ogolist says, in search of moisture.
"On the trip we saw fields of 100
acres or more of corn that have been
ruined." Gates said. In company with
county agricultural agents, he visited
the infested parts of both counties.
Farmers six or seven miles north
east of Broken Bow are the hardest
hit in Custer county, while the far
mers of a section seven miles north
east of Lexington are fighting the
hoppers hardest to save their corn.
Corn lands north of Overton, and
even in the irrigated valley sections
are being threatened by the hoppers
it was reported to Gates during the
trip. South of the river, the hoppers
have started hatching in great num
bers and are feeding on the green
corn.
Dawson and Custer counties have
not yet asked for aid from the state
in fighting the pest. Farmers have
organized under the direction of the
county agents of the two counties
and are spreading poison. The hop
per menace in the middle Platte
country came a little late to endan
ger small grains, tho many farmers
have reported grasshoppers getting
into shocks of wheat, oats and rye.

Agency for Farm
Board Controls
Updike Company
Big Co-Opera tive Expands Activities
in Market at Chicago Investi
gation Is Under Way
Chicago - The Farmers' Nation
Grain corporation announced it had
purchased control or the Updike
Grain company S. P. Arnot, form .
president of the Chicago board of
trade, made the announcement -1'
the sale with the comment It "would
be a surprise; to most of the members
of the board of trade.''
George S. Milnor. president of the
grain corporation, then confirmed It,
explaining the purchase was made
in order to give the corporation mem
bership in the Chicago Clearing
House association.
Board of trade officials said a com
mittee was appointed Wednesday to
investigate the relations of the Far
mers' National Graii corporation
with the Updike Grain company and
to determine how long tiie former has
controlled the other. The committee
also will investigate the "moral and
leg.l aspects" of a concern dealing
in grain which controls its own com
mission agency, as, board officials
said, will be the relationship of the
Farmers' National concern to the Dp
dike company. The committee was
understood to be drafting a new
obard of trade rule to forbid such re
lationships la the future.
Milnor Explains Stand.
In ; formal statement, Arnot de
clared the federal farm bond, which
controls the Farmers' National Grain
Corporation, was set up to minimize
speculating, but now was entering
that field.
The following statement was is
sued by Milnor:
"The Farmers' National Grain cor
poration, owned by more than twenty-five
grain co-operative associa
tions, which, in turn, are owned by
thousands of grain producers, is
charged with the responsibility of
developing a nationwide marketing
organization for the efficient and
ecom mical marketing of producers'
grain. Farmers' National business 13
conducted along much the same lines
of any other large grain business.
Among Its policies is one of using
grain futures for
hedging the unsold
the purpose of
supplies of graiti
that it owns.
"Officers of the corporation are
members of the Chicago board of
trade. and practically all other
boards of trade. merchants ex
changes, etc.. in the principal mark
ets of the country- As a member of
the boards of trade it acts as broker
in handling grain futures for us
tomers, including its own members.
Membership is Limited.
"Under the rules of the Chicago
board of trade and the clearing house
association, corporations are debar
red from membership in the clearing
house unless such corporations were
members prior to April 1'. 1!29. As
the Farmers' National Grain corpor
ation was not formed until the fall
of 1929 it found that under the rule
mentioned it was deharred from
charing house membership, which,
in tun., handicapped it in the ex
pense of doing business as compared
to competitive corporations that are
members of the clearing house. Up
dike Grain company was one of the
corporations having membership in
the clearing house prior to April 2,
19 29. As some of the principal
stockholders of the Updike Grain
corporation bought a controlling in
terest in the company, which there
by became in effect, a sugsidiary.
"I am not aware that any rules
of the board of trade have been vio
lated in the transaction. Thru the
control of the Updike Grain company
the Farmers' National Grain corpor
ation has no more privilege- than are
granted to other corporations who
are members of the clearing house.
It is difficult for me to understand
why members of the hoard of trade
should object to a corporation owned
by the farmers having the same priv
ileges in doing business that they
have granted to other corporations."
State Journal.
MOB ACTION "EXPLAINED"
Manila The Manila Bulletin pub
lished a letter from a reputed mem
ber of a mob which Sunday stoned
Americans gathered about an outdoor
swimming pool, saying the Filipinos
meant no harm and were attract. :1
by the "white pretty legs of the bath
ers." Stone throwing in which sev
eral Americans were slightly injur
ed, began after the Filipinos were or
dered to leave the ground of the
Army and Navy Club. "We boys,
numbering about 200, gathered in
that place because we were inter
ested with the white pretty legs of
the bathers." the purported letter
said.
Despite this explanation, some
American:; blamed the trouble on re
vival of Philippine independence agi
tation, and a parade Of SO.OOO Fili
pinos held Sunday. The demonstra
tion was reviewed by Senators Hawes
and Pfttman.

HIGH WAGES ARE WANTED
Chicago A Sheaffer. manufactur
er just back from Europe, advised
American business men and Indus
trialists that pnly by continuing high
wages and maintaining the present
American scale of living can the
United States avert the dosing down
of factories and a general slowing
up of industry.
"Don't reduce wares if you can
help it." he warned. "If you are
compelled to do so. restore them
Quickly. Retaining our present st ale
for both the laborer and the i rodmvr
is the single solution for unemploy
ment and it is the only thing that
will put the largest number of pur
chasers In the market to buy and
consume additional goods."
