until his friend should returnl
The evening pasaed and he came

No Cabbage Snake Says zntomolO-


More than a hundred letters
have been received by the Miss
our a agricultural college asking
for Information concerning the
so-ca|led "poisonous cabbage
snake says the Kansas City
journal, and the collection of
snails, centiPedes and other creep
ing things received from these
inqnlrers would form the foun-
datipn for splendid collection
of Missouri's lower animal life.
The most peculiar thing about
this scare that has swept the
state from one end to the other
is that it has no foundation in
fact. Professor j. M. Stedman,
entomologist of the college, says:
Not thing is found on cabbage
that conld have been found any
TALL for the last 70 years.
"And more than this, he con
tinues "there is not an animal in
the world that will poison cab
bage SO as to injure the person
eating the cabbage alone or both
cabbage and animal. The whole
scare seems to have started from
fake report concocted by a cor
respondent of the st. Joseph
News. Being hard pressed for
news one day, he wrote of a whole
family that had come to pain
full death from eating cabbage
upon which new reptile resem-
bling small snake was present
in large numbers. Other papers
copied the story. People read it.
and began to carefully scrutinize
their cabbage patch, and of course
were rewarded by finding upon
it bugs and worms that can be
found any fall. The most COM
mon specimen 1 have received is
a nematode worm, somewhat re-
semblingra horse hair that lives
as parasite in crickets and grass
hoppers and is perfectly harmless.
Not a single one of the seventy
five specimens 1 have received is
at all injurious. This so-called
cabbage snake is a myth, pure
and simple, and people should
cease bothering about it"

There is salmon nursery in the
centre of st. John, N. b, in q

Canadian Government buys the
fish from fishermen at 81 each, and
employs 6 to 10 men every season

st. John River, where they are
caught, to the pond. This year
1922 salmon were placed in the
pond and the loss was only 81 per
sent. The salmon are stripped
from October 23 to about Novem-

by short stories, which made his
talk most valuable and interest

ideas in teaching spoken of by
Prof Barbe, could be introduced

would be great improvement all
