Sweet Singer From Michigan
In September Kalamazoo Michigan and nearby areas faced a grasshopper plague described as the worst ever. Birds and insects swarmed stores and restaurants paused service as hoppers filled arc lamps and silenced lights. A train between Cressy and Delton halted by the insects, their crushed bodies oiling rails hindered engine wheels until crews cleared them.
