Great Damage Dose In Morrow County

Heppner-Grasshoppers BY the mill
lion are appearing in some localities IN
Morrow county. They have settled in
great numbers in the Sand Hollow
country, farming district about ten
miles northeast Of Heppner, where they
are doing considerable damage, They
are doing the most damage to alfalfa
and the Lay crop, and In some places
are taking gardens. E&8
The first crop Of alfalfa, which was
immense, has practically all been
saved, but il 10 feared that very little
Of the second crop can be eaved, owing
to the rayages Of the millions Of these
insects that have been congregating in
the alfalfa fields. At Hynd Bros, a
Big raL' b in Sand Hollow, they are so
thick in the alfalfa that In the evening
after the insects go TO roOst on the
heads Of the alfalfa plants they can be
scooped up by the gallon by taking
coal oil can or bucket and striking
through the grass. 1t Is only the work
of short time TO fill a gunny sack.
Some Of them caught in this way are
being fed to the hogs.
Along Willow creek, where there are
many alfalfa ields, the grasshoppers

iamage in some places they are attack

iamage, owing TO the fact that the

;reen leaves from the stalks. In the
wheat belt they have not appeared in
sufficient numbers TO cause any alarm

The Russian center is rapidly pushing

Russian left flank threaten completely
to change the position Of the two

of the border are full of men suspected
of intention to desert. The officers are
