friend. dated Ilawatha, Kansas, June lst,
saws:
| wrote you two weeks ago that the
grssshoppers were with Us in large mum
bers. At that time gardens, fields, etc :,
looked beautiful and promising. nut to-day
nearly everything is gone, devoured by the
hoppers. We had Il most promising gar
den. where had spent my mornings, but
all is gone. They began on the potatoes.
which they took, and now we have only Il
few hills Of corn left. We had nice to-
matoes in blossom, but rot one stock is
left. The garden is as bare as it was ON
the first of April. Nearly all the wheat.
oats. barley, flax, potatoes and corn are
gone. The farmers are blowing up their
croI and this week will plum corn. To-
morrow l will replant The garden with
such things us think will mature The
grasshoppers have nearly all left US the
air has been full of them the last four
days. The farmers look blue. but feel dis
posed to try again.

in these things. no one viii doubt but that
