| Description: | Same as catalog # 507050 CINETOPICALITIES IN BRIEF (NO. 19) A plague of grasshoppers in Mexico. Mexico. In Northern Mexico we see horrible shots of a plague of millions of grasshoppers crawling over fields. We are told it is the worst bout for years. Men mix up large drums of poison with sawdust, treacle and bran and scatter it over the fields by means of a kind of machine-gun implement on the back of moving trucks. M/S of the crawling grasshoppers being shooed away by men's hands | |
