Grasshopper War
In Nevada Looms
As Fight To End
RENO, Nev. (Jfi Nevada's
grasshoppers are having a tough
time of it these days.
Three camps have been set up
in the remote northwestern part of
the state, with men and equip
ment worauix overtime to spray
poison on millions of young hoo
pers hatching from their eggs.
Those that escape the insecti
cides will find poisoned bran to
feed on as they mature.
Federal, state and county agen
cies this year waging an all-out
battle against the migratory grass
hoppers which started as a small
band in Central Nevada 10 years
ago. During the decade, the hop
pers have increased phenomenally
in numbers and have flown north
west with the prevailing winds un
til they now rover a million acres
in northern Nevada and southern
Oregon.
During their migration so far,
the hoppers have done uncalculated
damage to Nevada ranges, but
they haven't had an opportunity to
eat their way through agricultural
areas.
This is why the fight Is so heavy
this year. The hoppers will start
migrating again i. July further
toward Oregon and northern Cali
fornia agricultural areas.
But the hopper fighters are hop
ing their current battle will cut
the size of the migratory flights
to the point where they can be
wiped out within the next few
years.

Retail Sales Tax Is
Proposed For Eugene
EUGENE. April 24 Wind
ing up a month of deliberation,
Eugene's 1950-51 budget committee
has recommended that the city
council ask the voters to approve
in November a one-half of one per
cent local retail sales tax to be
used exclusively to offset property
taxes.
Adoption of the sales tax, as pro
posed by the budget group, could
not come in time to reduce the
1950-51 city levy, estimated as 25 4
mills on the basis of the city's
present valuation. If the sales tax
measure were approved by the vot
ers, however, it could be ex
pected to yield $350,000 to $400,100
