GrasshOppers Took Crop
My husband got onto old Charley
and travelled back to find the cows
away down by Ramsey creek laying
down chewing their cuds as cheerful
~ as could be. This is just an ince-
dent but here is another, the coming
of the grasshoppers in 1872.
In the spring of the year, they
seemed to come all at once and settled
on everything, acting very hungry
and eating everything even tobacco
until nothing was left. Fork handles
and even ak handles were eaten until
they felt like rasps.
They took three crops and the
fourth year they had just begun to
eat patches of grain. Not very large
crops had been planted as people were
afraid it would do them no good. NV
husband planted about ten bushels of
wheat just after the Fourth of July
and did not have much of crop.
My husband heard roar like a
wind; he stopped the horses and when
l looked across the fields, the grain
looked red with clouds of grasshop-
pers. They rose and sailed away like
one mighty cloud to the southeast and
that was the last we saw Of them.
We borrowed $500 during this hard
time and paid Is per cent interest and
finally got it paid though it was very
hard work. For three years we
couldn't get enough money to send
letter home. In 1872 we lost all of
our horses and had to get a yoke of
oxen to help. He had hail, drouth
and grasshoppers and last of all, de-
preston, and still we live.
