Fargo, N. d.. Aug. 20.-A letter from
Peter Herbrandson, the well-known mem
ber of the legislature from Trail county,
says: the crops around Caledonia are
damaged from Is to SO per cent by Hessian
fies.~ In many fields a great percentage
of wheat is dead and a close inspection
gives most disappointing results.
There has been disposition to ignore
reports of damage by the flies, but the
statements from prominent, farmers have
been SO persistent that the grain ex-
perts in the valley are beginning to re-
alize that great damage has been done.
In many fields the grain killed by the flies
can scarcely be distinguished without ex
animation from ripening grain and has
gone -unnottced by a great many farmers.
The work of the flies was, fortunately, in
spots.
