Glover Fields.

observation-disclosures from the
northeastern part of johnson county
are reporting an invasion of green
bugs into their fields. Glover is suf-

chance at devastation.
Those who have investigated say
that millions of the little bugs are
found at the roots of the young clio
yer and whole fields have been Slapped

The bugs we're first noticed a few
