Grnsshoppers in the "DeIta."

Farmers in the Delta" in Missis-
sippi, report that the grasshopper
problem is becoming real serious in
their section. The insects have
swooped down on their cotton and
corn fields by the millions, and all
efforts to get rid of them have so
far failed. Where one is killed it looks
like score takes its place, and the
planters are at their wits end. They
have tried dosing them on coal oil,
paris green and little Of everything
in the poison line, but the hoppers
seem to fatten and thrive on it, The
latest engine of destruction tried on
them is tarred cloth 16 feet long by
s feet wide, 20 which mule is hitched,
and IT is thus dragged over the hop
per.infested fields. Every bug that
butts against the tarred cloth sticks
closer than brother, and, though
bushels of them are destroyed in this
way, the number does not seem to
diminish, and in some places the crops
have been eaten up.

He said that while the soil Of the ISL
ands was admirably adapted for the

il was left 10 an enterprising Greek to
commence the cultivation of this fruit
on the islands, with the result that he
founi a market for them at 75 cents
apiece. He also said that in spite of the
fact that oranges, lemons and other
citrus fruits could be raised i'm abund-
ance, nevertheless $4,000 worth OF this
fruits Is annually imported. There is no
reason, he affirmed, why the Western
cities should not be supplied with
fruit from these islands as the Eastern
cities are from Jamaica. Mr.. Farquhar
said that the plantations paid a divi-
dend of about 90 per cent. 10 their own
erS.
