Turkeys Defeated by Grasshoppers.

Not far from Scranton, Pa, lives
Farmer James c. Fairchild. He has
gained local notoriety of late by reason
of an unsuccessful fight against grass
hoppers that took possession of rye
stubble field. Farmer Fairchild muster
ed in opposition to the green clad foe an
army of turkeys. The gobblers were
driven to the battle ground through an
aperture in a big stone wall. At the
first assault it seemed that they were to
win easily. They drove the 'hoppers
into a corner of the tall fence. Then
the fugitives turned upon the turkeys,
and, according to the account of an eye
witness, "came within an ace" Of
swapping them. The fowls were COM
pletely covered with grasshoppers, and
the insects kept coming at them so thick
and fast that the turkeys finally took to
their legs and wings and went squalling
toward the center of the lot.
After little one of the gobblers raj
lied the flock and led them back to the
corner. He gobbled number of times
on the way, and the old tom turkeys
marched abreast of him and gobbled de-
family at the grasshoppers, the hens
bringing up the rear and talking saucily
as they marched. Well up toward tbn
corner of the field the flock spread ou1,
and in moment innumerable wigs
were buzzing toward fine wall. Pretty
soon the grasshoppers were as thick in
The corner as they had been before.
There wasn't room for the.n all, and
again they turned upon tn turkeys and
the turkeys turned TIL in an instant,
skedaddled across the lot and flew into
the roadway, Tho fowls had plainly
been badly scarce. and since then Farm
er Fairchild ha1 Ieen unable to get them
to stay in tho rye field for ten minutes
at time.
