Dallas. S. D., May l5.-Years ago
This section of South Dakota was af-
elicted with a grasshopper plague, but
since then it has enjoyed prosperity.
Now, however. a squirrel plague
threatens portions of the country. The
squirrels are those of the striped va
riety, about the size of c~hipmonks, and
there are allnost millions Of them.
From whence they came no person
seems to be able to tell. Last season
they were here in goodly numbers, but
This spring the number seems to have
multiplied ten and perhaps twenty
fold.
In many localities the squirrels follow
