The GRAsSHoPPERs THE PACIFIC TERRITORIES
From the Puget Sound Courier of the Goth of July,
(publshed in Washington Territory we extract the
following:
From the farmers and the people in the country
around we learn that the gTasshoppers are in i'm
mense numbers in many portions of our Territory.
In some places they are doing much injury to the
crops destroying nearly all OF the grains and garden
vegetables; and also much inuring fruit trees, the
grass, and almost every green thing that comes in
their path 1t is feared that the crops of all kinds
will fall short to large extent without an end of
some sort is put to their depredations and that too
quickly There need be fear of such plague when
it strips everything bare and brow,, and having the
appearance that it will ruin the prospects of the
whole farming community for the present season.
Such an evil visitation has never been known here
before, and we pray that similar one may never
occur.
"They are very thick and troublesome throughout
Oregon and California. In Oregon it is thought thai,
the wheat crop is too much ripened to be injured,
but we think that without some remedy is applied
they will continue to destroy it until it is cut and
gathered. In California every possible means are
being used to prevent their rayages"
