To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Fields of alfalfa suffered very severely from the attack of the locusts ; the latter were also very destructive to beans, cabbage, and tomatoes, but corn, melon, and pumpkin vines were not much injured by them. The pyrethrum plants from the flowers of which the insect powder known as " Buhach" is produced were not much injured by the locusts. In places where the plants had been considerably eaten I found many locusts which acted very much as those do that have been sprayed with a solution of bu...hach and water ; they had completely lost the use of their legs and were lying upon the ground in a very helpless condition, occasionally jerking a leg or moving a foot. Several of them were dead, evidently having partaken too freely of the leaves of the pyrethrum plants, as no poison had been put out up to this time. Wheat fields, as a rule, were but little injured by the locusts, the principal injury being done by biting off' a small proportion of the heads and allowing them to fall upon the ground.
