The grasshoppers have been playing sad havoc with some of the wheat fields on the Arkansas. Mr. Dunn, of Vernon Township, has a field of twenty-two acres completely eaten up. He thinks, however, that as the cool weather has set in, the wheat will grow up again. Some of the “cusses” are making a miserable attempt to lay eggs, but the frost wakes them up as they start down in their holes.
