After an absence Of several year,,
gras-hoppcrs, or locust-, have again
made their appearance In swsrms IN
the eastern portion Of the country.
About seven or eight years ago they
devastated the farms IN the vicinity Of
Cothrint and White Rock, between
Folsom and Iatrobe, and did consid.
cradle damage as In this direction nj
Brighton.
About white Rock the locusis were
10 thick m 10 block up tho doorwayn Of
fam.houses by the drifting process,
being piled up In some places 10 n
height Of several feet. When they died
the stencil was almost unbcnrahic.
Out IN the fields they stripped the veg.
citation, including tho trees, Of every.
thing green, causing the country 10
look m II sirocco hni swept over II.
Referring TO their appearance In
that locality, the Folsom 7tiegruph
says, "Aflliious OF them arc destroy.
Ing everything they eau get hold Of,
and considerable alarm N felt over
their appearance, and the result OF
their Visit. They came too late to do
any great damage 10 tho hay crop,
which Ia nearly all In. Other thugs
will surely suffer loss unless they dis
appear. Thoss that are here arr, from
what We can learn, very small, but
they are vorncious and have done n
great deal OF damage already. A fcw
years ago thoy visited the State aud
caused great damage. There was no
way 10 combat them"
The Insects are also operating In the
vicinity Of Costumes, according 10 the
Calf Gazette, which says: "silllion.
Of grasshoppers have appeared on the
ranches along the rich bottom lands Of
the cosumnes. The destructive pests
are reported 10 10 moving In a south.
