'EOPPEE PLAGUE EXPECTED '
Crnaha. Nebraska may have a ma
jor grasshopper plague on its hands
during lf37 if weather conditions
ate favorable to the hatching of mil-
j lions of 'hopper eggs now in the
ground. State Entomologist Gates
told the chamber of commerce agri
cultural committee.
Nebraska farmers lost $11,000,000
worth of crops during 1936 as a re
sult of grasshopper deprada tions, he
said. This year, there are three times
a3 many eggs in the ground.
A warm, dry spring would result In
the hatching of the eggs, Mr. Gates
declared. He advocated passage of
state and federal emergency appro
priations for the purchase of poison
bait for free distribution among
farmers in infested areas. A bill ap
propriating fo, 000, 000 for the pur
pose will be introduced in congress
shortly, he reported.
"Previous campaigns against grass
hoppers have been too late in the sea
son," said Mr. Gates. "Our best
chance is to catch them immediately
ofter hatching."

practically ever since. He and his
wife were blessed with six girls and
one son, all of whom have graduated
