There was a man who lived up Katy Fork by the name of Brady Hatfield.He had a reputation of getting rid of those pesky potatoe bugs from the potatoe vines.It was said that he went to the field,picked out 7 bugs,placed them in a clear bottle with a sealed lid,said a verse from the bible,then placed the bottle in the creek, so many days later they were gone.
I remember as a kid people talked about him that it really worked.I remember my mom,Tilda Hatfield of Browning Fork having this done on her potatoe patch and no more bugs !

People who live on Katy Fork are weird…oh wait, I used to live on Katy Fork.
I guess that explains that then.
