Saskatoon, Sask., Nov. 28.
It is estimated that 1,096,000
acres of grain in this province
were saved this year by the grass
hopper campaign, according to
the tenth annual report of the
field crops branch of the De
partment of Agriculture. The
cost o.f the ingredients used was
less than than in previous years,
a considerable saving having been
effected by modifications made j
m the poison bait recipes.
Damage to the rop by grass
