GRASSH0PPER PEST.
Millions Of Them in Sanpete - Stems
ming Tide with Consumption.

Sam Calder has returned from trip
through sanpete and Sewer valleys.
He says the grasshoppers are so thick
in Sanpete that they can be scooped
up by the shoveiful. and are spread
ing over the country in clouds. A gov
eminent expert Is, however on the
grounds endeavoring to stem the tide
by innoculatlng the hoppers with the
bacllli Of tuberculosis, the idea being
to spread the disease among them so
that they will die off in vast numbers
before serious damage Is done TO the
crops. This plan of operation was adj
yocated nearly a year ago by a Salt
Lake newspaper man. Mr.. Calder
says that the outlook for crops In the
south county Is something great, and
the sheep men in particular are jubl-
liant. Then the work upon the Salna
cutoff Is bringing many railroad work
ers Into that part Of the country, which
livens up things.
