respondent writes as follows:
At Shoreham, the farmers are greatly troub-
led with grasshoppers Everything seemed
to be covered with them, and at every step,
they swarmed before us. Some of the mead
ows are eaten off close TO the turf Farmers
that usually cut from IS to 100 tons of hay,
will not, this season, cut over 10 or Is tons
costing them from $500 to $1,000 to feed the
grasshoppers We were informed that the
grasshoppers extended along the Lake shore
about seventy-fye miles and that some of
the farmers were selling their young cattle at
half the price paid for them last fall. Wheat
is not damaged much the leaves, only, being
eaten, leaving the heads good Oats are en-
trely ruined, and the farmers are cutting them
to save the straw There is but very little
corn planted in this region, as the soil is hard
and difficult to work, and the raising of stock
more profitable. The grasshoppers have
trimmed off the potato tops, stripped the
leaves from the bushes, and are destroying
every green thing.-St Adams Messenger,
