Text Appearing Before Image:
swarmeddown from the mountains and devoured every green thingthey could find. We had hard work to save our crop. Itlooked as if starvation was coming. The men got greatlog rollers and rolled back and forth. Herds of cattlewere also driven over the marching crickets to crushthem; rushes were piled in their path, and when theycrawled into this at night, it would be set on fire. Butall seemed in vain. Nothing we could do stopped thescourge. Then the gulls came by the thousands out of the GreatSalt Lake. They dropped among the crickets and gorgedand regorged themselves until the foe was checked. Noman could pay me money enough to kill one of these birds. After the cricket war the grasshoppers came to plagueus. Great clouds of them would settle dowa on ourfields. Father saved five acres of his greiin by giving upthe rest to them. We kept the hoppers from setthng onthis patch by running over and over the field with ropes.We used our bed cords to make a rope long enough. The White Indian Boy
Text Appearing After Image:
Pioneer Days 7 But it was a starving winter anyway, in spite of all wecould do. We were a thousand miles from civilization,surrounded by hostile Indians. We had very little toeat and next to nothing to wear. It was a time of hungerand hardships; but most of the people managed to livethrough it, and things grew brighter with the spring.
