(AP Wire-photo) Hopper Pest Being Fought Serious grasshopper damage to grass seed crops appeared in Marion county for the first time last week. Young hoppers have completely cleaned areas of swathed fescue and are working into alfalfa, spring barley and oats. Chlordane and toxaphene in spray or dust forms do a good job of control according to Ben A. Newell, county extension agent for livestock. One-half to one pound of chlor dane as a spray or three-fourths to one and one-half pounds as a dust is recommended. Toxa phene at one to one and one-half pounds in spray or one and one half to two and one-half as a dust is good. These materials may be applied by airplane or ground equipment. Wet bran baits may be used on small plantings where hop pers are moving in. An econom ical way is to mix the bait at home. Use 25 pounds of mill run bran, three times the bran's value of sawdust and one of the following poisons: Vi pound of chlordane; one pound toxaphene, or six pounds of sodium fluosili cate. Wet with water to make a crumbly-mash. Twenty pounds of the mixture per acre will give good control. Caution should be used, re minds Newell, in handling any of the materials. They are poi sonous to livestock and humans. Wash thoroughly and change clothes after using either spray or dust.

Burton Monday refused to stay a lower court order holding TronsAmcrica, Inc., the Giant Bank of America and the presi dents of both banks in contempt. They had been ordered held in contempt for failure to obey the lower court in connection with an $18,000,000 bank stock transfer.

Gianninl, presi dent of Bank of America, the largest in the world, and Sam Husbands, president of Trans America. The cours also levied condi tional fines against the corpora tions of $2500 for each day of non-compliance after the 30-day period, which is up Aug. 0.

July 18 devil riverman, vowed today not sons who waited in vain for hours yesterday to watch him snoot over Niagara Falls in an iron barrel. After consulting with a welder, Hill said he would attempt another trip over the falls sometime around Labor day." He said because of damage done to the barrel it will be necessary to make extensive repairs or construct a new one. Police and friends had to use force to extract him from his 725-pound galvanized iron bar rel yesterday when river cur rents trapped it near shore one mile above the brink. To prevent police from con fiscating his specially built 12 foot long barrel, Hill sent it over the falls empty. When friends finally retrieved it from the swirling rock - studded lower gorge, where the Niagara park commission police have no au thority, it was dented on one end and flattened on one side by the tons of water pounding it against the boulder at the foot of the 175-foot falls. From all indications, Hill, a 31-year-old Canadian army vet eran wounded six times in World War II, probably would have been killed had he been permitted to remain inside. But that didn't faze Hill, whose military sounding first name is his christened name, not a rank. . NEW DRESSES Just Arrived!
