OBY Experienced Travelers Carry Farmers Gaining Victory In Four-Year Battle With Drouth And Storms By LEWIS LAKKIN United Praas Staff Correapondent TOPEKA, Kas, May 29. The Kansas dust-bowl farmer, whose pioneer ancestors fought the In dians and pushed back the western boundaries, apparently has fought a winning four-year battle against drouth and dust storms.

That was Indicated today as Kansas agricultural authorities took an optimistic view of crop conditions and predicted the dust- storm problem will be whipped in the near future. Kansas this year will produce one of the biggest wheat yields in a decade an estimated crop of between 160,000,000 and bushels which Is almost 30 per cent of the entire crop produced by the rest of the country. However, while approximately 40 per cent of the wheat crop has been lost In the dust bowl due to dust storms and lack of moisture, the loss has not been as severe this year. Upturn Te Be Slow J. O.

Mohler, secretary of the Kansas Board of Agriculture, said the Kansas farmer faces better times. He predicted the uptrend will be slow, due to high feed prices and generally higher xoets 1 Of llTingV: DeanHarry Umbarger of Kansas State Agricultural College, an authority on dust storms, pointed out the results of the battle on wind erosion and predicted eventual victory. Umbarger said the acreage in southwestern Kansas which has been ravaged with dust storms tor the last five years has been reclaimed gradually. Before the farmer began lighting wind erosion there were approximately 6,000,000 acres subjected -to dust storms. This was decreased to 4,000100 last year and to 2,600,000,000 this year.

PUBLIC ENEMY TO Host Plant To Pink Bollworm Sought For Destruction In Part Of State MIAMI FUl, May 29. 0JJV-Cotton may be king in moct porta of the 8outh but in Southern Florida its standing is that of a public enemy, according to I F. Curl, head of the Federal Bureau of Entomology here.

Cotton is not grown commercially In tropical South Florida and it i in the wild state that since 1932 entomologists have been hunting it outseeking to eradicate It because it Is host plant to the pink boll-worm, the insect that has replaced the bollweevll as foremost enemy of domestic cotton. Domestic cotton Infestation by the pink bollworm was discovered 1933 in North Florida, near Lake In the faU of 1933 near Tlfton, Oa. The discovery caused considerable alarm to the Department of Agriculture. the department revealed that the pink boliwornv apparently was coming into the Southeastern United States by way of the Caribbean. Further invest! gttlon showed that the insect was breeding in wild cotton growing along the shorelines of South Florida, and that there was a suffi cient amount of this cotton to breed an enormous number of pink boll worms.

Consequently, the government Immediately began a control pro gram which during the past four years has necessitated an expend! ture of approximately $300,000, Inspection of the cotton fields of North Florida and Georgia during 1935-36 showed no trace of pink bollworm In that area, Indicating the success of control measures. Five More Tears According to curl, five more years will be needed to complete the eradication of wOd cotton in South Florida and Insure safety to the domestic cotton fields of North Florida and the neighboring states of Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina. Pink bollworm first invaded the United States In 1917, coming in by the Mexican border. Outbreaks of the Insect were discovered again In New Mexico In 1930-21. Infestation also diminishes the' oil con tent of the seed and the total yield of the crop.
