Recent surveys in the county
“made by Agricultural Commissioner Leonard Lageson and Bill
Heiphinstine ,farm advisor, indicate that there is going to be a
.__ build-up of grasshoppers. new
that the warm weather is here.
Grasshoppers fed heavily on
irrigated pasture and range land
in the. county the. past two or
three years. Even a light infestation of grasshoppers on a range
or pasture with an average of
6 or 7 grasshoppers per square
yard will consume grass on a 10acre area at about the same rate
as a cow. Now that the native
-range is drying the small grasshoppers are going to move onto
the irrigated pastures,
Ranchers should now be on the
lookout, and--make preparations
for control measures, states. Bill
Helphinstine.
The most feasible way to control grasshoppers on_ irrigated
pastures and adjacent ground is
through baiting or spraying.
Bait has proved to be very
satisfactory in Nevada County.
An excellent bait material can
be made by using 4 ounces of
actual Aldrin or one pint of Aldrin material containing 2 pounds
of Aldrin per gallon plus % to
% gallom kerosene mixed with
100 pounds of wheat bran. The
Aldrin and kerosene should be
mixed together and ‘then thoroughly mixed with the bran, This
can be accomplished by. spreading the bran out in a thin layer
and spraying the Adldrin-kerogene mixture thoroughly over
the bran. A better job of mixing
can be had by» using a cement
mixer and spraying the kerosene . <.
and Aldrin into the mixture as
it is turning. The bait should be
spread 10 to 15 Ibs per acre either
by hand of a broadcast spreader
over the entire pasture area immediately following irrigation.
It is alsa very beneficial to bait
a strip about 100 feet wide in the
Cameron and Collier’
Bill Would Help
Mining Industry
The important role played by
Senator Ronald G. Cameron of
Placer, Nevada,:and Sierra Counties in obtaining $139,500 in state
funds for a Study of ways to improve the mining industry in the
Mother Lode district was lauded
by Senator Randolph Collier of
Yreka.
Cameron teamed up with Collier to win approval of an addition to the state budget which
will finance this vitally important survey of the mining potential of the area.
“Although Senator Oameron
has served only a short time in
the Legislature he has already
proved his ability to get things
done for his district,” Collier said.
“His contribution toward obtaining funds for tisis project. were
extremely helpful.” 5
Cameron said he feels the proposed study could open the door
‘to tremendously increased economic activity in the Mother Lode
area.
“The ecanomy of our area was
founded on mining” Cameron declared “and anything that can
be done to revive this vital industry must be done. I intend
to follow this survey closely.”

GOVERNOR’S REPORT
Governor Edmund G, Brown
this week hailed the action of
the State Senate in passing his
proposed $1% billion bond issue
of division.”
The Senate passed the-bill, authored at the Governor’s request
by Senator Hugh M. Burns (DFresno) by' a vote of 25 to 12.
It was the first time in the long
history of water législation in
California that a statewide-water
program has passed the Senate.
“All: Californians in every part
of the state have good reason
to be pleased with what happened
in the Legislature this time,”
Governor Brown said.
“This was a vote for unity dnstead of division,’ ‘he declared.
“So was the Assembly’s action
in sending the Senate the full
budget including some $83 million in water project construction
items,
“I hope and believe that both
the Senate and Assembly will
continued to show the same
sénse of responsibility in their
further actions on the water program in.the days ahead,” the
Governor said. “They can thus

from the $172 million California
Water Fund—and represents no
drain on general fund money.
“The Assembly has demonstrat
ed again and-again that it understands the critical nature of the
state’s finances,” Governor Brown
said.
“This action wag another declaration that California is not
going the way of Michigan that
it will meet its real needs but
will-hold’ the line against unnecessary spending,” he added.
“Everyone. involved deserves
credit,” the Governor declared,
“but the effective . handling of
this complex piece of legislation.
is primarily due to Assemblyman
Unruh. He did a splendid job.’”

The Governor said also he was
glad no “crippling amendments”
went into the bond legislation on
the floor of the Senate.
“Some of,the principles they
represented are sound,” he said,
“But they don’t belong in bond
legislaiton designed. to provide
