With the advent Of dry weather
armies Of grass hoppers have made
their appearance in Monroe county
and in spots have assumed almost the
proportions Of a plague. The chief
damage is being done to pastures,
meadows for the most part being har-
vested, but thousands Of them have
invaded the hay stubble. Pastures
are burning in addition and feeding
dairy cattle has already begun. It
will take hard rains to revive the
grass. - Paris Mercury.
The D'ornellus threshing outfit
down on the Santa Fe lane was on the
idle last Tuesday as the result Of the
refusal Of farmers to pay &c a bushel
for threshing oats. The customary
price has been 3 cents. With twice
the acreage and more than twice the
yield per acre, the farmers claim, a
thresher should make more money at
&c this time than SC with an ordinary
crop. D'ornellus was at work on the
Bill Ball and Roy Key crop when the
dispute over his charge arose. The
boys had 40 acres and the yield was
above 40 bushels to the acre. - Par
