Western road, at depth of ten feet
beneath the surface, came upon q
black, curly walnut tree, in a perfect

which it was found indicates that the
time was either anterior to or con.
temporaneous with the drift period
which, of course, was thousands of

Ants In Kansas.

A plague of ants has appeared in
the northern central counties of Kan
sas, and the insects are destroying the
alfalfa and wheat crops. All vegeta.
ton within radius of several feet
of their hills is killed. The ants are
a larger variety than has ever been
seen in the state before. They multi
ply very rapidly, and the farmers are
using every means to exterminate
them. The insects have invaded the
cities and towns and are making life
miserable for the Inhabitants. Thew
are very vicious and do not hesitate
to attack either person or animal in.
terfering with them.
