By Richard A. Utfin
(United PreM Staff Correionlent)
Lakeview, March 17 IP A vast
horde of dormant locusts, largest
of its kind in the nation, will
threaten destruction to a rich
agricultural area when it resumes
its relentless migration this
spring, authorities said today.
The grasshopper carpet, with a
population of many millions
spaced about 28 per square yard,
lies astride southeastern Oregon
and northwestern Nevada, with
fringes in the northeast corner of
California.
The voracious hoppers will be
on the move again approximately
May 1, devouring vegetation with
the emciency 01 a new vacuum
cleaner sucking up loose dirt.
Damage Expected
"We expect severe damage
from the grasshoppers through
out the crop season, said Elgin
Cornett, county extension agent
in Lakeview.
Cornett said that if the grass
hoppers come out and continue
to move in a northwesterly direc
tion as they did last year, they
could easily pose a serious threat
to Warner valley, where last
year there were 30,000 head of
cattle, 20,000 acres of hay and 15,
000 acres of grain.
Center of the horde is a point
35 miles east of Lakeview. The
horde itself is 80 miles long and
40 miles wide. The infested area
covers 1,011,840 acres, including
276,480 in Lake county and 458,
880 in Harney county, Oregon,
and 276,480 in Washoe county and
148.480 in Humboldt county, Nevada.
Cornett has received a map
from the U.S. bureau of entomol
ogy, based on surveys taken last
year when the grasshoppers were
moving in a northwesterly direc
tion six miles a day, stripping
rangeland of sagebrush and
grass.
May Head South
The big red patch on the map,
showing the outlines of the infes
tation, indicate there may be a
movement this year toward Cali
fornia. Already there is a small
infestation-in Modoc county,
Calif., northeast of Cedarville.
Cornett and other experts are
uncertain what the locusts will
do to agriculture because these
particular hoppers are believed
to be a new species, names the
western range locust. Thus far
they have concentrated in desert
and rangeland.
"If we have a program of con
trol of decent size, we can do
some good," said Cornett. Bui
federal entomologists fear that
appropriation of control funds
may come too late to destroy the
hoppers while they are hatching.
A committee headed by Osenr
Kittridge of Lake county, has
sought control money from the
Oregon state emergency board.
The board will decide late this
month on an appropriation.
Cornett said a mixture of saw
dust, bran and poison, scattered
by machine and hand in the in
fested area about hatching time,
presently is considered the best
control method.

Savants Revise
Mexican History
Berkeley, Cal. (IPiTwo Univer
sity of California professors have
set a new figure for the popula
tion of central Mexico at the time
of Cortez. They Incidentally
scored their colleagues for dis
carding reputable testimony and
using "arbitrary factors."
The professors, Dr. Sherburne
F. Cook and Dr. Lesley B. Simp
son, concluded the population was
around ll.uoo.uoo persons rather
than the generally accepted fig
ure ol about 4,000,000.
They base their estimate on
three separate computations.
"This violent discrepancy aris
es," the professors said, referring
to the difference in the figures.
"from the conviction among most
scholars that the ancient observ
ers were not to be trusted."
They said modern scholars
were in the habit of dividing early
estimates by some arbitrary lac.
tor, ranging from two to five."
"It seems to us that if the tes
timony of respectable witnesses
can be discarded so easily, then
all history would have to be re
written in the light of later as
sumptions," Drs. Cook and Simp,
son concluded.

Science Produces
Another Element
In Laboratory
Berkeley, Calif.. March 17 IW
Scientists have made another at
om in the laboratory, the heaviest
ever known.
It is element 98, californium,
named for the state and the uni
versity that produced it.
The researchers who reported
the discovery are Drs. Stanley G.
Thompson, Kenneth Street Jr., Al
bert Ghiorso and Glenn T. Sea-
borg, all of the University of Cal
ifornia's radiation laboratory and
chemistry department.
Element 98 stands six steps up
the periodic table from uranium,
tne most massive atom in nature.
All the atoms, from 93 on, are
man-made.
Californium was made by
bombarding element 96, one of
the "synthetic" atoms, with 35,-
000,000 electron-volt alpha par
ticles (the nuclei of helium at
oms) fired from the university's
wj-incn urocker cyclotron.
llie scientists did not make
enough of element 98 to make it
visible. The weight of the curium
target was only a few millionths
of a gram. That meant they had
to work fast to identify the ele
ment after it was bombarded.
Tests Made
First, they subjected it to quick
chemical separation processes and
they tested it for radioactivity.
When both chemical properties
and the typical radioactivity pat
tern were confirmed according to
the way the scientists previously
predicted, it was possible to say
a new element was produced.
Element 98 is so intensely radio
active that half of a given quan
tity loses its radioactivity and
transforms itself into a lighter
element within 45 minutes. It de
cays by emitting alpha particles.
'Hie new element has no practi
cal place in atomic energy, either
for atomic bombs or power. But
science says it will expand our
understanding of matter.
Thompson, Ghiorso and Scy
borg last January announced the
discovery of element 97, named
berkellum, another synthetic at
om. Seaborg has led groups of
scientists responsible for discov
ery of all heavier than uranium
elements except element 92, nep
tunium. Seaborg suggested the name
californium for element 98 be
cause of its chemical similarity to
element (56, dysprosium, a Greek
word meaning difficult to get
at." He said explorers for another
element a century ago "found it
difficult to get to California."
