Early in the summer of 1873 the homesteading farmer in southern Minnesota had good land beneath his feet, credit when he needed it, and a market for all the grain his family could produce. Before him—as far as the eye could see—was the wheat that would guarantee his future.
Riding the early June winds were hordes of Rocky Mountainlocusts, swirling and gnawing their way east through the tendergrasses, stripping the countryside. The farmer and his family could do little but watch as the grasshoppers dropped into their fields anddemolished the waving stalks of wheat. When the swarm moved on, the fami ly was left with only the hope that they could survive the winter to plant again in the spring.
They weren’t alone in their troubles. Throughout the state newspapers reported swarms of locusts so large that they eclipsed the sun. The roar of their frenzied feeding sounded like a prairie fire. From Rock, Pipestone, Lincoln, Redwood, Renville, Brown, Watonwan, Blue Earth, and Faribault counties, farmers reported losses totaling mil lions of dollars that summer.
What had been a bad dream for the farmers in 1873 became a nightmare in 1874. The grasshoppers had done more than ruin crops, they had laid eggs. The following spring, black clouds of young hoppers erupted in field after field in search of food, and within days Minnesota was again under siege. The locusts consumed crops as far north as Becker and Aitkin counties and as far east as the Mississippi River.
Pluck, determination, and charity carried many Minnesota farming families through the next three winters. With each spring thaw came hope, and with each plant ing came disaster. As grasshopper swarms crossed and recrossed the state in search of new feeding grounds, the crisis made inroads into the mainstream economy. Local businesses extended credit to farmers until the money ran out, while food prices soared.
In 1876 newly elected Governor John S. Pillsbury encouraged Minnesotans to do everything they could think of to fight the pests, and listened patiently while one person after another offered solutions. A teacher from New Ulm, Gustav Heydrich, proposed a horse driven machine that would sweep grasshoppers into a bin and then crush them under the machine’s heavy wheels. A Willmar citizen, Andrew Robbins, invented a tar-filled metal pan that would scoop up and trap grasshoppers as the pan was dragged across a field. Several hundred of the inexpensive “hopperdozers” were put into operation. In 1877 the town of Le Sueur advertised a bounty of 20 cents a quart for dead grasshoppers; but, the number caught exceeded the town’s coffers, so the bounty was reduced to one dollar a bushel. Still the grasshoppers came.
A relief committee, chaired by prominent St. Paul politician Henry M. Rice, distributed many thousands of dollars across the state feeding and clothing 6,000 people during the winter of 1876 and appropriating $75,000 in 1877 for buying seed grain. Help also came from the National Grange, which collected $11,000 to spread among the stricken families in Minnesota and in other states.
In the the spring of 1877, the next crop of locusts hatched and Minnesotans prepared for another year of disaster. But instead of eating their way through the state, the grasshoppers lifted their wings and rode the wind across the border. The ordeal was over but the grasshopper plague was only one of a series of misfortunes that hit Minnesotans in the years after the Civil War. Droughts, floods, hailstorms, crop disease. and insects plagued the wheat fields all through the 1870s.

“We Make Sewing Fun!”
Re-furbished Sewing Machines many to choose from
Things that go bump in the night also go bump in the daylight. Every odd sound you hear in your home is not made by a spirit, but some of them might be. There is a reason why things seem to happen at night. During the day you are occupied. If you hear a thump or the light comes on, you probably won’t pay attention to it. If those same things happen at night when the house is quiet, you will pay attention and your attention is what the spirits are looking for.
Imagine sitting in your home late at night when you hear a sound that doesn’t make sense to you. A chair moves in the kitchen; there’s a knock on the wall; a creak on the fl oor; walking on the stairs. These are all easy sounds for a spirit to make in hopes of getting our attention.
That said, when you hear one of these sounds, don’t immediately jump to the conclusion it’s a spirit. Most of the time it won’t be. See if you can fi gure out what else might be making the sound. Is it cold outside and your house is contracting? Do you have a pet that may have run up or down the stairs? Perhaps that same pet pushed the chair in the kitchen.
If you’re not able to fi nd a satisfactory reason for the sound and believe it’s a spirit, see if you can fi gure out who it is. Sit quietly and ask (in your head) for a name. Ask for clarifi cation who might be visiting you and why. Something else that frequently happens is the manipulation of electronics. Lights turning on and off; the TV coming on or shutting off by itself; computer acting up.
Since everything is energy, it’s easy for a spirit to play with the gadgets around our home. Again, before you believe it’s a spirit, make sure you don’t have a short in something or a light bulb doesn’t need to be changed. If you’re sure things are running smoothly, then it’s time to tune in and see if you can fi gure out who’s attempting to communicate with you.
Thank you for your interest and attention. Till next time, stay in touch with yourself, with your life, and with those loved ones who have moved on.

● On Feb. 25, 1873, Enrico Caruso, the greatest tenor who ever lived, is born. After making New York's Metropolitan Opera his home base in 1904, Caruso recorded
scores of arias of three- and four-minutes in length -- the longest duration that could fi t on a 78 rpm record.
● On Feb. 26, 1919, more than 800,000 acres of the Grand Canyon is established as a national park. The Grand Canyon is the product of millions of years of excavation by the mighty Colorado River. The chasm is exceptionally deep -- dropping more than a mile into the earth -- and is 15 miles across at its widest point.
● On Feb. 21, 1927, humorist Erma Bombeck is born in Dayton, Ohio. Her fi rst book, "At Wit's End" (1967), comprised a collection of her columns. Among her many other popular books were "The Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank" (1976) and "If Life Is a Bowl Of Cherries, What Am I Doing in the Pits?" (1978).
● On Feb. 27, 1934, auto-safety advocate and activist Ralph Nader is born in Winsted, Conn. Nader's 1965 book "Unsafe at Any Speed" criticized the auto industry for poor safety standards, and ultimately led to various reforms.
● On Feb. 23, 1958, fi ve-time Formula One champion Juan Manuel Fangio of Argentina is kidnapped in Cuba by a group of Fidel Castro's rebels. He was released unharmed several hours after the Cuba Grand Prix.
● On Feb. 24, 1969, after a North Vietnamese mortar shell rocks their Douglas AC-47 gunship, Airman First Class John L. Levitow throws himself on an activated fl are and tosses it out of the aircraft just before it ignites. For saving his fellow crewmembers and the gunship, Airman Levitow was awarded the Medal of Honor.
● On Feb. 22, 1990, the Best New Artist Grammy is awarded to Milli Vanilli. Months later, German record-producer Frank Farian revealed that he had put the names and faces of the talentless Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan on the dance records he was creating using real musicians. Four days later, Milli Vanilli's Grammy award was withdrawn.
● On March 3, 1887, Anne Sullivan begins teaching 6-year-old Helen Keller, who lost her sight and hearing after a severe illness at the age of 19 months. Under Sullivan's tutelage, Keller fl ourished, eventually graduating from college and becoming an international lecturer and activist.
● On March 6, 1899, the Imperial Patent Offi ce in Berlin registers Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) on behalf of the German pharmaceutical company Friedrich Bayer & Co. The brand name came from "a" for acetyl, "spir" from the spirea plant (a source of salicin) and the suffi x "in," commonly used for medications.
● On March 2, 1904, Theodor Geisel, better known to the world as Dr. Seuss, is born in Springfi eld, Mass. Geisel's fi rst book, "And to Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street," was rejected by more than two dozen publishers before making it into print in 1937.
● On March 1, 1932, Charles Lindbergh III, the 20-month-old son of aviation hero Charles Lindbergh, is kidnapped from the family's new mansion in Hopewell, N.J. Days later the baby's lifeless body was discovered near the Lindbergh home.
● On March 4, 1966, a John Lennon quotation that was ignored in England sets off a media frenzy in America: "We're more popular than Jesus now." Bible Belt disc jockeys declared Lennon's remarks blasphemous and vowed an eternal ban on all Beatles music, past, present and future.
● On March 5, 1977, the Dial-a-President radio program, featuring President Jimmy Carter and CBS news anchorman Walter Cronkite, airs for the fi rst time. Carter answered calls from all over the country from his desk in the Oval Offi ce. Some 9 million calls fl ooded the CBS radio studio during the two-hour broadcast.

SNOWFLAKESNature provides us with a plethora of beautiful things to observe. Snowfl akes falling from the sky on a cold winter’s day are an amazing sight, right? Ok! Ok! maybe not here after 3 months of looking at the white stuff but what the heck, as long as long as it's still out there let's take a closer look.• Is it really true that it can be too cold to snow? According to “Farmers’ Almanac,” that is false. The
better statement is: “It can be too cold to snow heavily.” As long as there is a source of moisture and some way to cool the air, it can snow. Most heavy snow events happen when air temperature near the ground is at or above 15º F (-9.4ºC).
• Wilson A. Bentley of Jericho, Vermont, was an early pioneer in the study and photography of snowfl akes. An exhibit of the “Bentley Snow Crystal Collection” at the Buffalo Museum of Science at the University of Buffalo in Buffalo, New York, shows the deep interest in snow of the man known as “Snowfl ake” Bentley. A farm boy who was mostly home-schooled, Bentley had a great interest in nature, and being in one of the snowiest areas of the country, he spent a lot of time studying snow. He photographed snowfl akes using photomicrography, which is photography through a microscope.
• The Jericho Historical Society has mementos of “Snowfl ake” Bentley in its Museum opened in the lower level of the Old Red Mill in Jericho. Bentley captured 5,000-plus snow crystal photomicrographic images during his lifetime. More than 2,000 of his images are in his book, “Snow Crystals,” published in 1931.
• The fi rst research grant ever awarded by the American Meteorological Society was given to “Snowfl ake” Bentley in 1924 for his 40 years of “extremely patient work.” He had articles published in National Geographic, Country Life, Popular Mechanics, Monthly Weather Review and The New York Times.
• You may recall a set of four commemorative snowfl ake stamps in 2006. The four stamps issued by the U.S. Postal Service used four original photographs taken by Dr. Libbrecht. The photos were taken in Fairbanks, Alaska, Houghton, Michigan, and two in Northern Ontario. Dr. Libbrecht also has published a number of books about snowfl akes. Look for them at a bookstore or your local library for much more fascinating snowfl ake information. (continued on page 6)

●“The soles of my work boots got worn down. I had paid a lot of money for the boots, and they are really well-made, so I didn’t want to part with them. I took them to a shoe-repair place, and the owner said he could resole them for a really great price. They are like brand-new now. Maybe it’s just me, but I had never thought of having a new sole put on a shoe. I’m happy I learned about it.” -- R.L. in Tennessee
● “This is a fun thing to do for kids on St. Patrick’s Day: Turn milk, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes or any food green with a little nontoxic food dye. It’s really fun, and the reactions you get are so cute!” -- C.F. in California
● Periodically run your clothes washer through a load on hot with 3 cups of vinegar added to the water. Do not add any clothes. Use a washcloth or old towel dipped in the water to scrub the outside of the machine. Let the washer cycle through, and leave it open afterward to air-dry. This will clean out any gunk in the machine and help it to work better.
● To clean artifi cial fl owers, place the arrangement fl owers fi rst into a paper bag. Add a cup of salt and gather the opening of the bag around the stems of the fl owers. Twist closed and hold tightly at the stems. Shake the arrangement vigorously. The salt beats the dust off the fl owers. Hold the bag upside down for
a second and shake lightly to make sure all the salt granules fall off into the bag, and then remove the arrangement.
● Ink stains can sometimes be removed from clothing or furniture upholstery by using rubbing alcohol or hairspray. Using a clean paper towel or white cloth, spray the ink, and immediately dab and press several times. Repeat using a clean portion of the cloth until the stain is removed.
●“I purchase large pieces of cheese from my bulk retailer. I keep it fresh and mold-free by wrapping it in cheesecloth that I have sprayed with plain white vinegar.” -- E.C. in Indiana
● “I use an old hairbrush to remove the lint from the trap on my dryer. My hands and my grip aren’t what they used to be, and sometimes it would be hard to get the lint started. The brush is easy to use, and I just swipe it over the screen and knock the lint off into a small trash can.”
-- A.L. in Ontario, Canada

EYES (continued): • The Chinese claim to be the inventors of eyeglasses but apparently used them initially only to ward off evil spirits. These eyeglasses were for protection and probably lacked the ability to improve vision. Historians are unsure who invented the fi rst eyeglasses used to improve vision.
• The fi rst known artistic representation of eyeglasses was a painting by Tommaso da Modena in 1352. The glasses in his painting were perched on the nose of his subject even though most known early glasses for improving sight were not. Monocles, scissors-glasses and lorgnettes used for improving vision were either worn around the neck on ribbons or chains, clipped to clothing or just hand-held.
• Monocles were framed lenses attached to a chain or ribbon and used for one eye when needed. Lorgnettes were two lenses in a frame that the user would hold up to the eyes. They were somewhat of a fashion statement, especially for ladies. They were popular at the opera and masquerade parties. Scissors-glasses were two lenses on a Y-shaped frame that, like a monocle, were hung on a ribbon or chain.
• Have you ever heard the term “pince-nez?” These were two-lens glasses that “pinched” the nose in order to stay on. The name comes from French: pincer, to pinch, and nez, which means nose. They too were in frames and attached to a cord, ribbon or chain.
• London optician Edward Scarlett perfected the use of sidepieces or arms that attached to lenses in 1730. His new style eyeglasses that slipped over a person’s ears, eliminating the need for chains, also freed the hands. They were popular and rapidly spread worldwide. • Contact lenses are not as “new” as you may think. The idea goes back to the late 1800s when glassblower F.E. Muller, a German known for making glass eyes, blew a protective lens for a man who had cancer. The patient wore the lens for 20 years until his death, without losing his vision. The term “contact lens” actually is attributed to a Swiss physician, Dr. A. Eugen Fick, who published the results of experiments with the lenses in 1887. • Sometimes there is confusion over which eye professional to see for eye problems. Opticians manufacture and dispense glasses and contacts. They often deal with patients after they have seen an optometrist or ophthalmologist. An optometrist is a vision professional who can diagnose vision problems, prescribe contacts and
eyeglasses, provide treatment before and after eye surgery and prescribe drugs for various eye problems. Ophthalmologists are licensed medical doctors and can do everything performed by optometrists plus they can perform eye surgery. An ophthalmologist must complete four years of medical school following a college degree and an internship that focuses on their desired specialty.
• Animal eyes are varied in their placement, size and acuity. Many animals have vision that is far superior to humans. Maybe that is why we never see animals with eyeglasses! Do you know which animal has the largest eyeballs on earth? That would be the giant squid, whose eyes are about the size of beach balls (about 18 inches, 45.7 cm). Imagine meeting those underwater! Ostriches have the largest eyes of any land animal, measuring about two inches (5 cm) across. Ostrich eyes are bigger than their brains, which are about the size of a walnut.
• If someone says you are “blind as a bat,” consider this: Bats are not blind, but they don’t use their eyes to see. They use sound waves instead. They make high-pitched sounds and listen for the echoes when the sounds bounce off objects. This is called echolocation. Whales, dolphins, some shrews and a few species of birds also use echolocation.
• Horned toads (short-horned lizards) are interesting little reptiles that have a couple of very odd talents to help them ward off predators. They can infl ate their bodies up to twice their size, looking like little spiny balloons, and some of the species have the most bizarre ability to shoot blood from their eyes. The blood comes from ducts in the corners of their eyes and can travel up to three feet (one meter). This “talent” is used to confuse predators and contains a chemical that is noxious to coyotes, wolves and dogs.
• Have you ever been told you have “eagle eyes?” If so, you must have great vision. An average person can see a rabbit at about 550 yards (503 m), while an eagle can see it at about a mile (1,760 yards or 1,609 m). So, protect your vision and enjoy what you see!

Snowfl akes Continued• Another physicist, Ukichiro Nakaya,
who is actually a nuclear physicist, has studied snow crystals (or snowfl akes) for many years and was the fi rst person to make artifi cial snow in 1936. His development made it possible to extend ski seasons all over the world. The Ukichiro Nakaya Museum of Snow and Ice in Katayamazu in Kaga City, Japan, is about 311 miles (500 km) west of Tokyo. Another snow museum in Japan is located at Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan. The Snow Crystals Museum of Asahikawa looks like an Austrian castle.
• Snowfl ake, Arizona, is a place you might expect to be covered with a large amount of snow in the winter. The town, the northernmost community in Arizona’s White Mountains, actually receives less than a foot (30.5 c) of precipitation per year. Snowfl ake was not named for the winter fl akes that fall but after two Mormon settlers, Erastus Snow and William Flake, who started
the community in 1878. • Kenneth Libbrecht, professor of physics
at Caltech in Pasadena, California, has a website that shows diagrams of the 35 most common types of snowfl akes. The website, snowcrystals.com, has some interesting facts and fi gures and even information on some great places for snowfl ake touring.
