ST. PAUL. Minn., July Q. 1874.
Since the appeal Of Governor Davis Of this
State TO the War Department, mentioned In to.
nights Associated Press dispatches, Is likely to
be denied because OF the insufic.ency OF the law,
1t Is time for the people OF the United States
20 be informed that utter and widespread
desttution exists IN the southwestern counties OF
this state among the new settlers, whose crops
have been destroyed for two years. and that ur-
gent appeals must be made to benoveence every
where for contributions In aid OF tina
starving people who own farms under
the Homestead and Presumption laws, but
who have been unable to obtain subsistence from
their farms because Of the destruction caused oy
grassnoppers. These pests are now moving away
to other regions 70 devastate and ruin other set
tiers now in comfortable circumstances, but IN the
meantime. those who they have Just ruined are
IN A STARVING CONDITION.
The County Commissioners OF the dnerent
counties In the state are making appropriations
TO relieve the present suffering, but large and i'm
mediate help Is needed from the country at large
contributions OF money or clothing should be ad-
dressed to General II. H. Sibey, or Governor c. X.
