Just to relate a short story on bug catching. I am about 2 days older
than dirt myself . I do remember my grandfather would place a #3 wash tub
out in the field, And fill about half full with water and add just enough
coaloil to cover the water. Then a lantern was hung over the tub and would
burn at night until the oil was used up in the lantern. This system worked
very well though it did catch both good and bad bugs alike. Just remembering
