Published in The Waukegan Daily Sun and Gazette on August 18, 1919.

     Pana, Ill. Aug. 17.-Finding that his second clover crop was being destroyed by grasshoppers, Cyrus W. Rayhill spent $19 to build a grasshopper trap. Last week he caught eighteen bushels of grasshoppers. He dried the insects and fed them to the hogs and chickens, and saved the clover crop. Now he is drying the grasshoppers as chicken feed for next winter.
