as will be understood. The beams 2 being
journaled upon the axle of the cultivator are
capable of being swung up and down to en-
able the operator to regulate the, position of
5 the pans relatively to the plants by means of
the handles.
The peculiar adaptation of my invention to
a cultivator enables one to protect the plants
from the weevil, insects, &c., simultaneously
'o withthe plowing or cultivation of the plants,
thus saving time and extra labor, as the at-
tachment of my device in no way interferes
with the cultivator-teeth.
Having thus described the invention, the
15 following is what is claimed as new therein:
1. In a weevil-catcher, the combination with
the beams of a cultivator, of hangers adjust-
ably secured to said beams and lateral exten-
sions integral with said hangers, of pans ad-
20 justably secured to said extensions, chains sus-
pended over the pans from the cultivator-.
frame.j
2. In a weevil-catcher, the combination with
the beams of a cultivator, of hangers adjust-
ably secured to said beams, and lateral exten- 25
sions integral with said hangers, of pans ad-
justably secured to said extensions, chains sus-
pended over the pans from the cultivator-
frame, and shields connected to the pans and
cultivator-frame. 30
3. In combination with a cultivator, a wee-
vil-catcher comprising hangers adjustably se-
cured to the beams of the cultivator, lateral
extensions integral with said hangers, pans ad-
justably secured to said extensions, and spaced 35
apart, rods secured to the cultivator, curtains
extending from said rods to each pan, and
chains suspended over the pans from the said
rods.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in 40
presence of two witnesses.
