Other experiments have been tried one of which has been the popular using of poison bran, which has been in a measure successful but still not i i bringing the desired results. I Henry Wessoll has iust completed In device for the extermination of the hoppers v. hieh is a galvanized tank eight feet in length with a back board of perhaps twenty inches I high and n heard and screen wire at tached. The vat or tank is placed Ion the front of v.n auto. This tank lis filled with oil. either kerosene. i tractor fuel or distelate where the hoppers are thrown into the oil which kills them.
