HOSTS OF HoPPERs.
Fields of Grain Consumed by Grasshoppers
: In the Vicinity of Pelican Rapids,
Minnesota.
Enough of the Insects In that Locality to
Cause a Plague Next Year.

FERGUS FALLS, MIMI, June 1S.-A.
Benham, of Red Wing, who has been
examining the grassheppers in the Vi
cinity of Pelican Rapids in the town
ships of Pelican and Scrambler, said
to-day:
The grasshoppers consist of the army
or Colorado hoppers and our native
hoppers. Full one-third arenative hop
pers. They are eating up the grain
here very fast. The growing crop of
grain in some fields are now one-half
consumed and in spots the fields are
bare, The radius Of these pests is now
so small that they can be caught with
in ten days. Half of these army hop
pers will drop their shells and rise and
cover our beautiful state with eggs.
There are enough of these hoppers
here now already Matched to lay eggs
this year to breed enough hoppers next
year to eat one-half of all the crops in
Minnesota. Prompt action by the state
county and town officials is the only
way to check the ravages of these num-
berless pests in our midst.
If there is no state or county law in
regard to the determination of these
pests, I suggest that one thousand men
or more send the governor S. each, and
he send man to superintend the catch
Ny SIS is ready. Fred Damschem dis
covered they were the army hoppers
first this spring. Army or no hoppers
they are eating up the crops for our
farmers in these two townships, and
must be stopped.
Samuel D. Rider, Owen Bruner and
Frank Putnam, G. O. Greeley, Henry
Palmer, E. A. Miller and VIM. Rouse,
OF Pelican Rapids, and scores of other
farmers will turn out with teams and
catch these pests if machines are fur
nished them to catch them with at a
small expense. Inquiry should be made
from st. Paul, and the machines for
catching them at Perham, should be
obtained for Pelican and shipped there
at once. Machines should start here
not later than Monday.
The double wings are developing fast
on countless thousands of the hoppers.
Two men to-day could catch a bushel
of them in a few minutes with large
mouth sack.

The appearance of locusts in Southern
Italy and the country near the mouth of
the Rhone reminds the correspondent of
German paper that this is by no means
the first time that the latter district has
been visited by them. The local history
Of Aries mentions between the years
1545-76 several processes at law against
the locusts for at that time the custom
still survived of subjecting animals and
even inanimate objects to trial, sentence,
and the ban of the Church, just as if they
were human beings.
In 1865, when the locusts laid waste
the region in question, the people were
in despair, and forthwith demanded
their expulsion. Accordingly q sum
mons calling upon the insects to appear
before the Court Of the "0fficial" was
Issued and proclaimed throughout the
fields around Aries. As in due time the
locusts, who it may be presumed were
wary Of jestice, failed to appear, we'll
known advocate, named Martin, was APP
pointed to plead for them ''in absentia."
The defense was admirable. The locusts,
said Maitre Martin, were but instruments
in the hand of God for the punishment
of those who refused to pay the tithes
due to the Church, and to lead them to
penitence and the renewed fulfllmont of
their duty.
He submitted that the curse should
not be pronounced against the defend
ants, but that they should be regarded
as blessings in disguise, and suffered in
patience till God should remove them
But this pious defense failed. The To-
Gusts were formally cursed and called
upon to leave the country without delay.
The record adds that notice of appeal
was given against this decision, but that
before the day Of hearing arrived the To-
Gusts. probably finding their quarters no
longer safe, had flown to seek fresh
