Insect Injuries to Corn.

Great is the American corn plant,
and to it is devoted portion OF the
annual report of the Illinois state
entomologist under the subject or
The More Important Insect Injuries
to Indian Corn" The same is also
published as bulletin No. o6 of the Hi
nois experiment station. Concerning
as it does, one OF. the industries OF
widest extent throughout the United
States, the information given touches
the interest of nearly every region OF
the country. Every farmer north,
south, east and west may take an in
structive stroll with Dr.. Forbes
through the entonologic field. There
are few who will not learn something
of worth from the practical report,
and the illustrations really illustrate
it in an exceptionally clear and ad-
mirable manner.
While the economic feature receives
full attention, the author also takes
into account the rapidly rising inter-
est in nature study and makes his re-
port of material value for this purpose
to the public school teacher and STU
dent of whatever grade. The study
presented is intended to furnish a
clew to the whole system of insect
life of which the'corn plant is the cen
ter. 1t thus stands as many re-
spects type OF example OF the rela-
tions OF plant to its insect visitants.
Dr.. Forbes has pleasing way OF
throwing Illuminating side lights on
the statements Of familiar facts, to
the increase of their interest and
value.

POWDER
VILLAGES IN THE DARK.
Japanese Settlements Amid Dense
Groves of Evergreens.

Atlantic.
Without having actually seen them
you cannot imagine how dark some
Japanese country villgaes remain,
even in the brightest and hottest
weather. In the neighborhood of
Tokyo itself there are many villages
OF this kind. At a short distance from
such settlement you see no houses;
nothing is visible but dense grove
Of evergreen trees.
The grove, which is usually COM
posed OF young cedars and bamboos,
serves to shelter the village from
storms and also to supply timber for
various purposes. So closely are the
trees planted that there is no room
to pass between the trunks of them;
they stand straight as masts and min
gle their crests SO as to form (: roof
that excludes the sun. Each tlsatch-
ed cottage occupies clear space in
the plantation, the tree forming a
fence aoout it double the height OF
the building Under the trees it is
always twilight: even at high noon,
and the houses, morning and evening,
are half in shadow. What makes the
first impression of such village al
most disquieting is not the transpar-
ent gloom, which has certain weird
charm of its own, but the stiffness.
There may be fifty OF hundred
dwellings, but you see nobody and
hear no sound but the twitter of in
visible birds, the occasional Growing
of cocks and the shrilling cicadae.
Even the cicadae find these groves
too dim and sing family. Being sun
lovers. they prefer the trees outside
the village. I forgot to say that you
NAV sometimes hear vie1vless shut
LIBERALIZATION, chaka-ton--But that
familiar sound in the great green ST.
lence seems an elfish happening. The
reason of the hush is simply that the
people are not at home All the adults
have gone to the neighboring fields,
the women carrying their babies on
their backs, and most of the children
have gone to the nearest school, per
haps not lees than a mile away.

New Wheat Territory in Mexico?

A Canadian authority af6rms the
strong probability that Mexico will
become one Of the great wheat pro-
ducing countries within the next few
years. Experiments with different
kinds of wheat show yields of from
fifty to sixty bushels of wheat to the
acre from the turkey red" variety. 1t
is stated that number Of syndicates
have obtained concessions from the
government by which they have the
use of large areas of land for terms Of
years, and if it is discovered that
large crops can be raised in Mexico
an endeavor will be made to place the
grain growing industry on a CONNER
cial footing.

OLDTIME HALF CENTS.
Two of Them Sent to Washington
Last Year for Redemp-
ton.
Gateway Magazine.

The treasury of the United States
On May E, 1908, redeemed two half
cent pieces. This is the first time in
the, history OF the country that any
such coins have been presented for
redemption. 1t is more than GEN.
tury since the first half-cent piece
was coined, and it is hardly fifty
years since the government discon-
tinued minting them.
Possibly not one person in a thous-
and living in the United States ever
saw half-cent piece. Is
The last annual report Of the di-
rector of the mint page 81, shows
that 7,8o5,222 of these coins, repre-
senting $3o,476.1I, were issued. For
almost half century each annual re-
port of the treasury department has
included them among the "outstand-
ing obligations of the government.
The half-cent piece was the coin of
the smallest denomination ever made
by this country. It enjoys the dis
tinction also of being the first coin is
sued and also the first whose denomi-
nation was discontinued. The United
States mint was established in 1892,
and copper half-cents and cents were
issued in 17o3 Hall the total Num-
Der of half cents issued were coined
previous to 1870, after which year
their coinage, with few exceptions,
was limited. None were coined for
circulation from 1872 to 1894, nor
from 1886 to 1848. Finally in 1857
their coinage, with that Of the big
copper cent, was discontinued. On
account of their limited issue in the
last years of their coinage they prac-
tically had disappeared from the
channels of trade.
The need of adopting the half cent
as the lowest value computing factor
for coin were made in the early
days of the republic. Colonial half
cents and British farthings of the
same commercial value were then in
circulation, and many articles were
priced and sold in half cents. With
the progress of the nation value arose
and the needs for a half cent disap-
peared and their use following the
first decade Of the century was al
most entirely confined to multiples.
While all other discontinued types
and denominations of United STATES
coin have found oblivion, the half
cent is the only one of which the
treasury reports do not record some
portion Of the issued redeemed. This
singular and unexplained fact has
been one Of frequent comment and
inquiry from mint and treasury off,
cials.
Large quantities of the half cents
are to be found in the stocks of coin
dealers. The most common dates are
sold at a good premium, and the ex-
tre:nely rare ones are worth their
weight in gold.
Ferran Zarbe OF St. Louis was the
man who sent the two half cent piec-
es to Washington for redemption. He
now prizes highly the little voucher
calling for zone cent" which was sent
to him with that amount of current
coin in exchange for the two half
cent pieces be had forwarded.
