The crawnsh and the Levees.

Whenever | hear of a break in the
levee down in my district, know that
nine chances to one crawfsh have
caused it. The assertion may sound
slightly exaggerated, but it is fact
nevertheless that the troublesome little
crawfish work more danger to the le-
wees than does the water. On big rise,
when the bed of the river is stretched
from embankment to embankment, the
crawfish burrow into the levees and
live there in the moist earth. They
multiply faster than maggots and loosen
up the earth worse than moles.
The levee may be completely sodded
with grass and you see no external evi-
dence of the damage going ON within,
but when the next big rise comes you
Will see it. | have frequently known
the water to break through the levee two
or three feet from the top, and you can at
tribute 1t to nothing but the destructive
work of crawfish. This was particular
ly true of the break at Offut's in 1852,
when portion of the town of Green
vile was submerged. The builder OF
the levee in the future will have to take
into account the cTawfsh as one OF his
most stubborn foes. st. Louis Globe

The catalpa never shows the "sere
and yellow leaf in autumn like the
sumac, hard maple, ETC., for the rea-
son that its leaves are caught in a
green, unripened state by the first severe
frosts. In one night their bright green
is turned to a dingy black. This sud
den check gorges the cambium layer
and new wood of the stem with water.
An excess of water swells the proto-
plasm of the cells to such an extent as
to rupture the inelastic bark, and in
trees where the cell structure of the
wood is not ripe the crack will extend
into the wood often with a noise like
an explosion. This often occurs in the
fall when it is not cold enough to stop
blowing. Sometimes we have much
loss in nursery in this way with varie-
ties not fully ripe when the first frosts
come. Sometimes indeed it Injuries
very hardy varieties. In such cases the
swelling of the protoplasm comes from
the water absorbed at the ground sur
face when combined wet and cold come
together in autumn. The cracking Of
cherries and pears comes from the same
cause-that is, by absorbing water on
wet days, causing an expansion of the
protoplasm. With trees the best treat
ment is to cover the rupture with moist
clay and then wrap to exclude the air
as much as possible. Iowa State Reg
