WOULD YOU RELISH A DISH OF FRIED GRASSHOPPERS?

Corvallis, Ore., March 29. —Ever eat fried grasshoppers? You’re missing a real delicacy if you don't according to Frank L. Snow, professor of industrial journalism at the Oregno agricultural college here. . Snow spent six years in South -Central Africa, and it was there that he learned something about what is good to eat. “After all, what one eats is largely a matter of custom,” said Professor Snow. Many fastidious epicures in this country are willing to pay high prices for frog le®»But down in Africa the blacks turn up their noses at the idea of eating frog meat ! “ ‘lkona muschli,” they say. (No Rood.) “But natives are particularly fond of grasshoppers. I first indulged -in their delicacy when I had been without food for many hours, and they really tasted like more.” /
