Mrs. Watson’: task is not an easy one. Although Bermuda is only 22 miles long and two nlles wide, it is miss-crossed with narrow twisting lanes.

Sask. Farmers liave Worries This Year

REGINA, May 4 (OP) Farmers, probably with reason, generally rank high among the world's worry-warts.

Concern for their crops is a year-round worry but in the spring it reaches its peak.

Saskatchewan's 15,000 farmers are no exception this’ year. The province's "biggest gamblers," after l0 years of good crops and prices, seem faced with their severest test since the drought-ridden '30s when many left the prairies in despair.

The biggest grasshopper plague in 10 years has been forecast. The

Mrs. Watson took her seat in parliament only last year. There is only ‘one other women.

During the First World War, Mrs. Watson served with the St. John Ambulance Brigade of Mont- real. After the war, she married Robert B. Watson, s. childhood sweetheart, and in i921, they moved to Bermuda, where they started a poultry form and built a home. -

When her husband died in i938, Mrs. Watson ran the farm alone for a year. then on the outbreak of war, she decided to volunteer her services to the Canadian Army.

But even getting back to Canada proved eventful for Mrs. Watson. She was a passenger on the flying boat, “Cavalier, " which crashed in the Atlantic. with other survi- vors, she spent several hours in the ocean before being picked up

After her discharge from the Army, she went back to Bermuda.

so far, the tail, greying, 52- year-old Mrs. Watson has only this to ggy about he; legislative dutils:

Agriculture Department yesterdsy' reported the first grasshoppers of the type which caused mop damage were found hatched at Lemeford near the Alberta border.

Dust storms have swept the southern part of the Province with a severity unoxperienced since the '30s. Two and three-foot ditches in the Swift Current district, in the southwest comer of the Pro- vince, have been filled with valu- able top soil. Farmers in the area are waiting for rein before they seed crops.

Agriculture Minister I C. Noliett said the hopper menace at present overshadow: the possibility of a drought year. Eight hundred car- loads of poison bait are available for immediate use.

In its first crop report this year, the Provincial Agriculture Depart- ment said 30 per cent of Saskat- chewan's anticipated 15,800,000 - acre spring wheat crop and l0 per cent of the coarse grains already ls seeded.

An agricultural official said the crop picture was "vulnerable but
