To Crops Set
Out at S45,000

Grasshopper damage to crops in
Imperial county this. year was ap-
proximately $4,000, County Agri-
cultural Commissioner B. A. Harri-
gan said Monday.
Most of the damage was to alfalfa.
Damage was greater this year
than last because of the higher cost
of commodities.
Crickets, in addition to annoying
human beings, have been damaging
the new crop of carrots and cucum-
bers. They also have been doing
their usual damage to clothing and
household furnishings, Harrigan
said.
