Tlie Commissioner of Agriculture has furnished Repre-ciitatlve Cobb, of Kansas, with the follow-Ins: synopsis of Information rewlved by himcoiioerning the exU'iit of the suffering from tlie grasshopper plague ; . DEFAHTOKXT O AoatCtrLTVBS, WASHISO. tok, Jan, 26, 1875.-ia; The premptness with which yea desire that year letter should be answered, of toe 24th Inst. , renders It impassible to give any thing mora than aa approximate U-mateot the extent and severity ef to Injuries inflicted by grasshopper in the West. , From a brief examination of our records, I conclude : . -1. That the area of this destrucUve visltnUon comprise from 206 to 225 mile wide, extending a far a Uie aettlements In Southern Dakota, through Kebraska and Kan, over 800 mile In length , aad Inclining to to south. A tew western eouuUca of Iowa and Minnesota report injuries, but not to compare in severity with those of the country farther west. I am satisfied Uiat Uie ex tent of territory visited by these insects In 18J4 very considerably exeeeds 100,000 square miles. I. Th grasshopper district West ot Missouri embrace a was of population or the state 01 Kansas and Nebraska and of Southern Dakota, amounting to over half a million hi 1870, with a large iaeraase sino. Including to counties east of Missouri in low - and Minnesota, more or leas affected by Uie plague, I toinklt not at all extrav agnut to assign toree-quarter ot a million a toe approximate population of these cuairicis. t. From return raoelrea from tne wunmtssion. er of Agriculture In Kansas, tt appear Uiat case of total destitution, In any countie rcportcu, vary from forty to two hundred. Report from countie not In toll Ust received by (hi department show injuries a sever a in any oUier. Tbe average ef such ease ia return to toe Com missioner of Kansas Is 000 In each county. Tnese do not InciiKl ease of partial destitution , which in some counties are quite large, ranging from 20 to 1,000. The cases of total and parual aesutn tion in Hie thirty counties amount to ever 40,. 000, while in other countie there are probably case unrepresented sufficient to sweU tlie aggro-ante to W. 000. In the aioro thluly populated counties of Nehraska and Dakota Uie number of such case, of course, is small. Adding the cases east of Missouri, I do not Uiink it out of Uie way to estimate Uie number of our people, more or less severely afflicted by this pest, at from 75,000 to 100,000. , Very respectiuiiy, (Signed) '' Freo. 8. watts, commissioner. i ( ,...... if;,;: Bold and Successful Robbery at ' - Memphis. .
