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. At the
court house none of the ofliciale had
? any knowledge of such a place an4L.no
! such name as that of Douglas J. Mul;

low appears on the tax books of the
county.
Finally we learned from Hon. D.
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.

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.
