They have eaten starched clothing hanging on the clothes lines, chewed cardboard from the hack of picture frames and bared lawns. It is the worst grasshopper plague in the history of the district. No grass remains on the properties which were showing green shoots three weeks ago, and graziers will now have to cut scrub or hand-feed their stock.
