disastrous to farm crops in the south

Grasshoppers this year are apt to
prove almost as disastrous as they
were in certain portions Of Woods

were rendered almost as bare as well

The small insects are already pres
ent in multitudes in Tillman, Kiowa

be a menace in many other portions
Of the western side of the state. If
sharp measures are not taken at once
to get rid Of them, they win do untold
damage.
