! leave Canada for this State. It has troubled
her at times ever since, but though frequently
! examined the trouble has never before been
discovered. .. The past week has been a busy
one with farmers, and 4 large area Of grain ha.
been sown.
| JACKSON COUNTY.
The village Of Jackson is without ply
sician. .. The amount Of wheat that will b,
sown this year will be small. Considerable
corn will be planted, and peas also will b.
quite generally tried, the latter crop being re
garded Us less liable to be destroyed by grass
hoppers. Farmers who have been plowinj
the past week found but few hopper eggs Of
stubble ground; but isr many places they ar
plenty and healthy, and appear ready 70
Matching when few hot days come. Littl
red bugs are also plenty, and it is believe
they are destroying the eggs.
WRIGHT COUNTY.
A correspondent at Waverly writes: Du,
ing the past week 'hoppers' eggs have hatcl
ed out in very large numbers in Railroad cut
and high places where the soil is high. I
these particular spots it is doubtful whethe
there is \ single spoilt egg. On the otht
hand, in heavy soil and land where the watt
cannot easily drain of, the eggs will new.
, hatch. We examined several layers in diffe
. ent clearings, and are satisfied on that poin
!. Altogether the outlook is not discouraginI
y We should put the number of good eggs
7 less than ten in = hundred and these vi
y doubtless be largely diminished by the ravag
