33rd 3rd Year, No. No. aa 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.” Student Body Of Local School Elects ‘Final election to student body offices was held at the Nevada City Elementary School on Tues’ day May 26.

J dill as “a vote for unity ifstead 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 ereation of the greatest physical project ever built by any state.” perform an historic role in the, State Senate Passes Bond Issue Bill; Gov. Hails Action As ‘Vote For Unity’ projects. That-money. will come 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.’” * = * & A Two of Goverhor Brown’s major tax proposals were approved by the Senate and returned to the Assembly for -concurrence in minor amendments before being sent to his desk for signature. The two measures one to place a three-cent-per-package tax on cigarettes the other an adjustment of the income tax had pre-. viously been approved by the Assembly, ‘ Expected to bring more than $130 million in néw revenue. to He again expressed. his persapa a FLIES OO pro tem. 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 financing, not to settle every water argument in the state.” = *¢ * ® The Assembly last week approved, 55 to 25, the Governor's 1959-60 budget in what capitol observers called record time. Eight Republicans joined the Assembly’s. full complement of 47 Democrats voting for the budget. All 25 no votes were cast Assy Republicans, Administration forces, led by Assemblyman Jesse M. Unruh (D-Los Angeles), chairman.-of the ways and means committee, fought off 10 amendments and brought the budget to a vote in a single morning’s debate. As approved by the Assembly, the budget totaled $2,223,043,458, some $34,665,823 higher than when it was introduced by Governor Brown January 28.
