Stevens and Swift, leaving eighteen ; the county of Le Sueur being 

 added, makes up the nineteen. As before stated, the feeling in 

 the spring was that the force of the plague was about spent, and 

 there was an indisposition to dwell upon it. In several of the coun- 

 ties that did not report, the damage was too slight to amount to 

 anything, so that the table will probably be a full exhibit of the 

 damage in the state. 



The following table gives the total damage to each crop together 

 with the area :

The next table gives the total damage to all the crops as returned 

 by counties, which show somewhat less than in 1874, and very 

 much less in every item than the estimate made by the Grasshop- 

 per Commission.
