 wind." 



Osborne City, Osborne County. — " No locusts were observed to pass over us from the

 June and July, traveling north, but they did not stop with us ; they have not returned 

 from the north." 



Oswego, Labette County. — " No locusts passed."

 west by north ; none came down."

 crippled or sick one would light. No damage done. Wind south or southeast." 



ii'ichita, Sedgivick County. — "A few passed over from the northwest till the wind 

 changed from north to south ; a portion settled and destroyed some wheat ; laid no 

 eggs. The northwest wind which prevailed last Sunday swept high overhead, scat-

 numbers that, had they comtj down, no damage would have resulted."

Wi field, Cowley County. — " Not that I am aware of." 



Yates Center, Woodson County. — "They were seen by some, passing from northwest 

 to southeast during prevalence of north wind ; but for the truth of this statement I am 

 not willing to vouch, as I did not see them ; however, there could not very well be 

 any mistake in regard to them passing with the wind. They did not settle." 



Oskaloosa, Jefferson County. — " Have seen none flying this fall." 



Paola, Miami County. — None were noticed passing over this locality. Don't think
