Show County Agent's Column Grasshopper Stations Open 2 Days Weekly The grasshopper bait station at Delta will be open on Tuesday and Wednesday of each week and the one at Fillmore on Friday and Sat- ' urday of each week. Farmers are urged to live to the schedules set up for each station. The stations are open between the hours of 8: 00 in the morning and 5:00 in the evening. Don't try to do your farm work and expect the bait station man to spend 12 and 15 hours mixing bait. At 5-00 o'clock or soon after the station doors will be closed, man who operates the bait station sta-tion may be doing something else on other days and doesn't want to open the station for an hour or two hours just to please someone. He can't afford to work this way and neither can the County or the tax payer afford to pay him full wages for one or two hours accomodation accom-odation for someone who neglected neglect-ed to get in on the days set up. This in an appeal to all to have the work done efficiently and with economy. Remember the dates. Farmers are again urged to bait now. Those who have already baited report excellent results. Grasshoppers killed now means more crops at harvest time. |
