Out in California they are
gathering the grasshopper crop.
sacklng it up and selling it for
chicken feed. Formerly the
grasshopper ate up everything
green in sight and made himself
a general nuisance. The vacuum

would not buy and he was on his

idea popped into bis head that
made his fortune. He moonted
his sample on a sled and pushed
it in the field. Now the vacuum is
used by the thousands in that
