Ploughing TO a depth of six inches

ot driving srasshopper catcher
through an infested field, catching All
the crasshoppcrs that hop. and then
feeding the insects to chickens. They

PfrS, or II il is preferred to feed the
Erasshoppers alive. the machine can

Wheat Reports from the delegates
from the different grain exchanges, who
met in Washington recently to talk
over plans for marketing the next sea-
sons wheat crop and the advisability of
opening the futures market indicate
that it was the general sentiment at this
meeting that no futures market be al
lowed. From the reports received here
il was gathered that grain men con-
slider a market such as would have to
exist under the government guarantee
to the farmer of 1920 for his wheat as
entirely too unnatural to permit OF
speculative operations. 1t is desire,
however, of the trade to throw the
cash markets open to general opera
tons. and apparently the cash trade
is anxious to again participate in the
handling of the American wheat crop
Corn.-The market sold off after an
early advance and closed with net
losses Of x to 81 &c for the day. Prices
have been on the down grade for thirty
days, during which time the market has
lost nearly 35 cents a bushel.
