Spraying 'wasteful'; l KANSAS CITY, Mo.-A federal program last summer to prevent a massive grasshopper infestation of 1 1 western states by aerial spraying was wasteful and mismanaged, a government report is quoted as saying. The report, quoted in a story published Tuesday by the Kansas City Times, cites instances where pesticides fell over the wrong areas, where spraying had been opposed because of possible environmental damage, and where "there was divergent views" by USDA officials on how to proceed with the program. oo)o d!33GDDR3S Rep. Virginia Smith, R-Neb., called the spraying pro gram of 900,000 acres in Nebraska "a colossal federal debacle." The report, assembled by a special investigatory team of the USDA's animal and plant health inspection service, contains a special section dealing with what Smith calls' "the incredible mess in Nebraska." Other areas sprayed were in the Dakotas, Montana, Texas, New "Mexico, Oklahoma, Washington,-Oregon, Idaho, Colorado and Kansas, the Times said. Irrigation reviewed WASHINGTON-The Supreme Court, in a case that could affect the ownership of a million acres of farmland in 17 western states, agreed Monday to resolve a stormy California dispute over land and water. The justices will" decide whether farm owners in the state's Imperial Valley must sell huge portions of their land-everything in excess of 160 acres for each family member-to continue receiving free government irriga tion. ; v ' " f ' -. ' A federal appeals court, has ruled that a 77-year-old law prohibits free water, vital for crop success, to larger farms. 'Of the almost 10 million acres in 17 states covered by the law, ownership of about one million acres might have to be redistributed if irrigation is to continue. "
