A. F. Strcitz constructed a grass-
hoppers catcher or dosser the other
day and sent it down to his farm
on the South side. His farm
neighbors arc also using the catch-
ers, and by so doing will greatly
diminish the number of hoppers.
Mr. Strcitz is of the opinion that
the catcher is the best method of
exterminating the pest, and those
who desire to construct such can
obtain information concerning the
plans and di mensions by applying
to him. Several farmers between
the rivers are also using the catch-
ers with good results.
