These same “hoppers,” dead many years In a bottle of alcohol on the shelf of a deserted house, wen of the phenomenal swarms which, like a great ruin cloud, appeared out of no where In the summer of 1$?4 and wrought havoc In several crop-growing states of the Southwest. With the finding of the pickled In sects, revealed when house wreckers tore down an old home here, pioneers recalled the gmashopiier “clouds” of 74 which suddenly devastated crops and all growing things. Billions of them appeared from the \skfes. stopped momentarily, and passed to nobody knows where. Their appearance was one of the mysteries andXtrngedles of the pioneer West Old timers say they appeared as suddenly as a thunder storm, settled down upon growing corn, grain and pastures ahd proceeded to devour all edibles In sight • Believe It ol' not but Nebraska and northern Kansas grandparents will tell you the hoppers were in such numbers that they darkened the sun, ate so fast that “you could almost see the com go doWn,” and when through with growing things, attacked the curtains on the windows of homes. Some even claim, in all seriousness, that the noise of the grasshoppers' eating could be heard for sbme dis tance. Others said trains were de layed when locomotive wheels “spun” over the bodies of “hoppers” gntb- ered on the tracks. t J. P K inard. Rock Hill, 8. C. ..
