with twig- brooms, and are driving
them into round holes which they dig

can be seen up Chico Creek, near the
Rancho Chico sheep camp, on the

ak Indians in each are at work. The
first operation is 10 dig funnel
shaped hole 3 feet acros and about 8
feet deep, then the band scatter out on
q skirmish line in different directions,
and commence sweeping and "driy-
ing" the hoppers toward the pithole,
and by working around In a circle
they gradually drive a good share OF
the orthopterous insects toward and
into the holes, from which the poor
hoppers "can meier come out again.
