GRASSHOPPERS 1 "CANNED"-WHAT? A friend of the editor, who is ever on the lookout for -the unusual and who in his time has had some acquaintance with "hops," though we suspect lie would not care for us to ! say . in just what shape?whether j? "grass" hops or just plain hops? (we are careful to say "hops" not "hop" which is something else) lias | sent us an article relating the tale of a man who has found a sale for grass hoppers. Our friend has made the fur| ther discovery that "Fairbanks," where the alleged industry of canning t grasshoppers is furnishing employment for many people, is located in Lexington county. He substantiates > the claim of location by reference to i a Ra:id~MeXally map of 'he State, v.nich pure enough locates the afore,said town in Lexington county, at the fork of a creek, near Chapin. Inquiry at the postoffice failed tc? reveal anV T such place on the postofllce map, and no postotllce guide, even as far back as 1910, gave any such postoilice anywhere in South Carolina.

Ernest Anilck, who is a native of the Fork, that some twenty years ago there was such a postofflce as Fairbanks, located near Chapln, but it has long since been abandoned. " Judge" Amick knows no such person as Malloy.. We at firstt felt Inclined to refer the whole matter to the Culhoun Times, which is now conducting a "whopper" contest, but inasmuch asThe Times has barred professional "whopper fabricators." we shall have to forego this method of escape, because we are sure that no crass amu- ' teur could have designed such a whopper, or hopper. The occasion of all of the above is un article from the Saturday Blade. I If any of our readers know the whereabouts of Fairbanks or D. J. ' Mulloy we will welcome the knowledge. We should like to become acquainted with a gentleman who can commercialise the hop of a trasshopper. Undoubtedly his intimate knowledge of hops may etxend to the other kind, in which case we might secure a good recipe for home brew (not for ourselves but our-friend). The article is as follows: Fairbanks, S. C., June 30.?Douglas J. Mulloy recently enlarged his grasshopper cannery to several times its original size to accommodate the increased numbel- of orders. Hitherto Mulloy had made a meager living by catching grasshoppers. pickling them in alcohol, and shipping them in , ordinary quantities to high school labI oratories for dissection in biology j classes. But some trme ago he received a letter from a man in New York?a Syj rian?asking him if he could ship j canned grasshoppers in quantities', i cooked merely?not preserved in alI cohol. Mulloy replied that he could, i and soon all the small boys in Fairj J>anks were out with nets and the i grasshoper population of the place i began to diminish. The business grew from that time on. ; Mulloy now has a factory devoted to the grasshopper canning industry. i ' outfit forced feed?a complete power > y length. Does the work of six to I t mi mo:'..

'* I He receives daily shipments from neighboring localities and is planning to establish agencies in various parts of the country for the collection of the raw product. He has perfected several ways by which grasshopper meat can be prepared for human consumption. One process treats the raw product in such a way that all hard,* stiff or bony parts bf the insect are softened: then the whole is seasoned and pressed Into cakes. Another grasshopper food product is made by frying them crisp like French-fried potatoes. These are sealed in air-tight packages and sold under the name of ''hoper-crisps." The most delicious of Mulloy's novel products is said to be the grasshoper preserves, which are mude by boiling the insects down thick in mo lasses, in flavor grasshoppers resemble a mixture of raw tomato und cheese with a dash of pepper. They chew like crab meat. Food experts testify that they are rich in nourishment, being 85.4 per cent proteid, 10.68 per cent corbohydrate, and 2 per cent fat.
