The Governor Of Nebraska On Grasshoppers

His Excellency, Kobert Fumas, Governor of Nebraska, has niade close inquiry s to the condition of the crops in that State, and has iasued a proclamation to the people einbodying the results. He says that information derived trom the several oounties (as well as extensive personal observatiou) warrants the assertion that, though the orops are shorter than for several years before, there is not a failure, and no ground for serious alarm as to tho general prosperity of tho State. The droughty agricultural year, which has affected the whole United States, and tho greater part of Europe, has had its effect on Nebraska; and small grains, therofore, not yielding as was expected at the end of June, are ouly au average in yiold aml quality. The small grains were harvested before the grashoppers appeared ; but, as in States north and soutb. this year, the grasshoppers have dono damage to the farmers to a considerable extent. Happily for Nebraska, however, very little but corn has been subject to their ravages ; and oorn is by no means destroyed, but will range trom half a erop to (possibly) aluiost an entire failure in a few places. ïhe fruit erop of Nobraska is more in quantity than ever before, but, as a rule, the fruit is infeiior in size ; and taking the whole range of agricultural produuts- hay, grain, vegetables, roota, and fruit - the State ha never produced so groat an aggregate crup. No axaiis needing relief are yet reported; but a mimbor of points on the extreme Western border, help will be required by the poorer settlers, who have but recently come into Nebraska, whose farming operations, therefore, were not extended and not varied, and who were depending on their corn erop alone for subsistenoe. Even those who may have to suffer, however, show no disposition to abandon their homesteads. ïhey need employuient; and in the case of the hoinesteaders, have to quit their lands for a time to work in the towns. 8ays Mr. Furnas : " ïhe more fortúnate of our own citizens will meet the former emergency by affording employment, and Congress which alone possesses the powor, will, no doubt, promptly meet the seeoud emergeucy."
