 ful In ridding his patch of the pests. 



He has rigged a small gosoUne engine 

 and vacuum cleaner on a little wagon, 

 which he hauls up and down the rows, 

 drawing the potato bugs in as he goes. He 

 aavs It is the greatest success by way of 

 ridding a field of the pests he has ever at-
