GRASSHOPPERS ARE
COMING INTO VALLEY

A horde of grasshoppers recently
crossed the state line at Lake Tahoe
and on the morning of the Fourth
were a short distance this side of
Edgewood. The road was literally
covered with the pests for distance
of quarter of a mile. Two days
later the hopprs had worked their
way to a point near the old Young
ranch and were headed due east,
which means that if they continue
their travels they will reach Carson
Valley in due time. In some locali-
ties at Lake Tahoe the grasshoppers
have completely devastated grazing
lands.
