1934-10-17. Grasshopper Plague Feared. Gayfield, Victoria.




Grasshopper Plague Feared 
OUYEN, Tuesday. Fears that the grasshopper plague, which has been causing trouble in other States, may be extended to the Mallee have been aroused by a report that the pest has made its appearance in the Gayfield district. Mr S. Carmichael, of the Closer Settlement Commission, states that the grasshoppers there are small and they have not done any appreciable damage to crops.
