He was born IN Stockholm In 1866 and
educated at Stockholm, Upsala, Berlin
and Halle, at the university of the lat
ter city receiving the degree Of doctor
of philosophy. In 1885 he undertook a
journey OF, exploration in Persia and
Mesopotamia.
In 1890 King Oscar sent an embassy
TO the late shah of Persia, and Hedin
was member OF the party. The next
year he made a journey through Kho-
rassan and Turkestan. A dozen years
ago very little was known about the
mysterious land Of Tibet. In 1893 DR..
Hedin set out on trip from the Rus
sian frontier to Picking through por-
ton Of Tibet and the Lobnor region.
His accounts OF his experiences, which
were quite adventurous, and of his
scientific observations. which were of
much value. excited keen interest and
led TO his undertaking In 1899 another
expedition to the same region. This
time he had large caravan, was
backed by King Oscar and had the aid
OF the car of Russia and the special
assistance OF General Kuropatkin. He
devoted three years to gathering mate
rial regarding the geography. geology,
ethnology and plant and animal posses
sIons OF the regions explored. He
learned much about Tibet. though he
was not permitted to enter Lassa.

to your neighbors between you and
town SO that they will be ashamed of
themselves If they do not follow it,
and thus have good roads to town
during the greater portion of the
wear?
A road treated in this way will
shed water off into the ditch. Water
always seeks the easiest wav toward
the centre of the earth. and finds it
is a good deal easier to slide off into
the ditch than it is to get down
through, especiallv through puddled
and almost water-nroof earth.
It is then ur to YOU to get it out
of the ditch. This can be done only
by drainage, either natural or arti-
fetal. Bear in mind that the drag
will not take water out of the ditch.
Bear in mind that it will not work
on a road-bed of pure sand, because
sand will not stick together. IF,
however, you can drag good soil
out of the ditch and mix it with
the sand, it will make a very decent
road. Neither will the drag work in
a mire hole where water stands dur
luV Iu0 SuullI10T S0dSOu. Ou Will
have a culvert for that, or otherwise
drain it out.
Do not understand us to say that
this drag is a panacea for all the ills
of bad roads. It will simply make,
if properly used. a good road out of
a very bad earth road. A rood road
must be hard and smooth and oval
all three at the same time. The drag
will make it smooth and in time
make it oval. The trampinp of the
horses on earth which has any con-
siderable percentage of clay in it will
in time make it hard.
Bear In mind further that you can
not make a frst-class road by drag
ging the first time, the second time,
nor the third. It will, however, make
it little better every time It will
be better the second time than the
first, the fifth than the second, and
the tenth than the ffth.-Wa allaces'

South Carolina Crop Bulletin.

Cotton planting has been finished,
and more than two-thlrds has been
chopped, with chopping still In prog
ress. Cultivation has been begun.
Stands of cotton are generally good,
though there are numerous reports
of plants dying on gray lands In the
western counties and on sandy lands
in the eastern ones, owing to too
much rain and the recent cool nights.
In some of the southeastern coun-
ties. some fields have been plowed up
and replanted. Excessive rains and
lack of cultivation caused the plants
to turn red or yellow in many places,
and the recent cool nights have
checked its heretofore rapid growth.
The first squares were noted on the
10th in Colleton County. The gen.
eral condition of the cotton crop is
poor, though promising in a few To-
calities.
Corn is suffering from want of cul-
tivation and is turning yellow but
where cultivation has been practica-
bic it is in good condition. Stands
are generally good except on bottom
lands where worms continue destruc-
tive. There is yet much corn to be
rlanted on bottom lands in the west
ern half of the State.
Tobacco is doing well. Rice plant
ing is delayed in the Georgetown dis
trict by high tides. The week was
favorable for truck and shipments
of potatoes and beans were heavy.
The strawberry season is over. Wheat
is promising where not rusted or
damaged by the Hessian fv. Fall
oats are fine, and spring oats have
improved rapidly. Oats are ripening
in the eastern counties and some have
been cut. Pastures are fine. Peaches
are plentiful in the eastern counties,
but are very scarce in the western
ones. The first shipment of peaches
was made this week. Apples are
scarce and the trees continue to
blight. Melons, gardens and other
minor crops continue to do well.

Crop Notes from Craven.

Farmers here in the truck belt are
very much discouraged. All crops
shipped have been generally low, and
the truck has got farmers behind,
apd cotton is quite grassy in some
sections.
The apple crop is very poor. Fire
blight or pear blight has attacked
nearly all the apple trees in our coun-
ty, and there will not be many apples.
S me of the trees are nearly dead.
Corn is doing well. Irish potatoes
not good, but an extra CROP of bugs.

and the young plants are looking
well. So far as we can learn, plants

HOW TO USE THE DRAG I'm MAX
ING DIRT ROADS.

planned in Last Weeks Progressive
Farmer.
By the word "drag" we do not
mean a harrow, but an implement
such as that used by Mr.. King in
illustrating his lectures, In connec-
ton with the Northwestern good
roads train. on the subject of how to
make good roads out of just dirt
common dirt, or any other kind of
dirt except sand. These drags are
sometimes made after the arrival Of
the car from a split log, sometimes
from plank of either hard or soft
wood. We have frequently described
the various kinds, and do not need
to repeat that now. The illustration
in our issue of last week gives a
good idea of the split-log drag, and
in the issue of the 28th of the plank
drag. If our readers are at all inter-
ested they will look over these issues.
notice the photographs of the drags,
and make one the first opportunity
they have. Anybody can make the
drag, and the boy is likely to make
better drag than his father.
The question we discuss now is
definitely and specifically how to use
it. Make your drag at once so it
will be ready. After the first rain
hitch on to your drag so as to give it
an angle of about forty-fve degrees
and go down one wheel track. The
best way is to go from your own
front gate to the next neighbor's
front gate on the way to town, then
turn around and come back on the
other track, smoothing down the
rough places. filing up the ruts, and
throwing little dirt to the centre
of the road. 1t is better to have
the ground quite muddy and slushy
the first time. 1.-TWO horses may not
be able to pull the drag if it is a
heavy one, so if necessary, put on
the four-horse evener and hitch up
four.) Then stop. You will have
made a smooth passageway some
twelve or fourteen feet wide, little
higher in the middle than at the sides,
which will shed water fairly well.
Then when it dries off partially, put
on your two horses and go over it
aoain-perhaps that afternoon or the
next day-then wait until after the
next rain, and when it is drying off
Ca little experience will show you
just when it is right) do it again.
Passing teams in the meantime will
have puddled this earth and made it
so that it is partially impervious to
water. Teams will not be obliged for
comfort to follow one track. There
will be no ruts for them to follow
and you will find that they will beat
down and compact the whole of this
twelve or fourteen feet. Then wait
until after the next rain, and do it
again, always throwing little dirt to
the middle of the road and gradually
grading it up and filing up any
holes or other unevenness.
This is a very simple method-so
simDle that YOU will not believe in it
until you try it. You will wonder
that you did not think of this long
ago; that it never occurred to YOU
that the tougher the mud the better
road it will make. IF you want to
get your road little wider, wait un-
til the next rain and plow a very
shallow furrow down one side and up
the other, then take your drag and
move this into the middle of the road
and still further build it up.

Messrs. Editors Climatic condl-
tions exert a great influence over in
sects, and as there are some errone-
Gus notions abroad in regard to this
subject, and as the present season is
giving us a good opportunity to OBJ
serve the effct of the weather, this
would seem an opportune time for
few words on the subject.
The Moon nan Erroneous Notion.
Last week a man earnestly argued
with me that the eggs of insects al
ways hatched at the time of new
moon; said he didn't believe it at
first, but that observation had con-
vinced him. That night it was full
moon, and the very next morning L
found eggs on an elm leaf which
were then Matching some of the
larvae were entirely out, some were
lust part way out of the shells, while
others were still unmatched. Three
DAYS later / observed larvae of potato
beetles which had evidently only
hatched day or two before. So far
as known the moon is without effect
on insects or their eggs. 1t may be
that on bright moonlight nights some
species of insects might fly which
normally remain quiet, or it might in
duce some insects which normally fly
at night to keep quiet, but it is not
known that the moon exerts any dl-
rect influence on the life-history of
insects.
Cold Winters.
Persons often say to me that the
cold winter weather will kill out GER
tain rests, but / have seldom known
this-to result. The truth is, that
mere cold has very little effect on
most insects. A cut-worm may be
frozen solid, kept all winter, and yet
when thawed out in spring will be in
good health and with normal and
destructive appetite. Insects which
are natives of warmer countries
the Harlequin cabbage bug-may be
lnuch reduced by cold winters as they
require some time to become ac-
clima ed. We do not remember TO
have seen as many harlequin bugs
this year as last, and this may be In
part due to the cold winter, but there
are nevertheless a good many of them
around, and they will probably make
-heir presence known before the sum-
mer Is over. But insects which are
native of this or cooler countries,
ike cut-worms, potato beetles, straw
berry weevils. grasshoppers and 9th
ers are not much affected by the cold
of our winters. On the other hand,
alternate freezing and thawing is
much more destructive to insects,
just as it is to plants, hence mild
winters may be expected to do more
to kill insect pests than cold ones.
Warm and Cool Seasons.
If the spring season be cool, cut
worms are more destructive. This
may be for two reasons: First, be-
cause the cold increases the amount
of food necessary to maintain life,
and second, because the cold may re-
tard their growth so that their in
juries are prolonged over a greater
period. Cool Springs are also favor
able for plant lice, such as rose lice,
cotton lice, green louise of the apple,
and others, while these USUALLY quick
ly disappear when a spell of hot, dry
weather comes on.
Damp and Dry Seasons.
