The interesting question in natu3a.

answered by Professor w. NJ. Wheeler
in the negative, Notwithstanding the
fact that Darwin and Lord Ayebury
have expressed the opposite view
"Ant-rice" is a kind of grass, of whose
seeds some species of ants are very
fond, and as it often grows abundantly
near their nests, they have been cred
tied with purposely cultivating it. Pro
fessor Wheeler says that the grasi
near the nest is accidentally planted
The ants, having stored the rice il
their chambers, are accustomed L
carry out grains that have begun tt
sprout. 10 say that they really SOW

RAIN WAS NEEDED.

Water Valley After long droutl
only broken by IN occasional shower,
general rain has fallen in this sec,
tion. 1t was just the kind of rain tC
bring out and push up all kinds Of
vegetation, regular and slow.
As for the young corn, the rain jus
came in time to save it. 1t is now
thought that plenty Of corn will be
made to meet the requirements of the
farmers. This will come from late
corn, as the old is almost a complete
failure. Prospects are better and the
hopes of the people are brighter. Cot.
ton which is very good, will be but
little benefited by the rain. The
crops of peas, potatoes and hay will
receive new impulse.
