Buffalo Gnats
PLAGUE IN ARKANSAS HEAVY TOLL OF STOCK (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) Received May 8, 11.50 p.m. VANCOUVER, May 7. Deadly clouds of buffalo gnats which swarmed over Kansas and Arkansas farms recently, are being killed in countless millions by a heat wave. The plague has beer so bad that many farmers have herded their livestock into barns. Two thousand horses and mules died in one Arkansas district last week. The larger animals get their throats and lungs clogged with the gnats, while pigs and poultry die from loss of blood.
