THE Governments green bug book will be in
some respects a rather startling publication.
1t will represent few striking figures TO show
the enormous damage done during the present
year by this enemy of the wheat, which has sud
denly assumed such alarming conspicuOusneSs, and
will make known incidentally several and
curious discoveries regarding a remarkable species
of insect.
1t takes just about pound of wheat to make an
the grain, then, will Yield sixty loaves. Such being
the case it is estimated that the equivalent of
thousand million loaves of bread has been
devoured this season by the green bug in Texas and
Oklahoma alone. This number of loaves would
suffice to supply every man, woman. and child in
the United States with bread for fortnight-pro-
vldlng them, that is to say, with loaf of bread
apiece every morning for fourteen days.
Last years crop of wheat in Texas was H. 20 1S6
bushels 1t will be about half large this year the
other half having been eaten by the green bug The
wheat crop of Oklahoma in 1900 is, 90; ,Ss2

the green bug. The total damage done by the

out of existence.
The green bug is aphis plant louise about an
eighth of an inch long To the casual it closely
resembles the tiny insect SO familiar a DESTROYER
of rose bushes. The fact that the female becomes
grandmother in eighteen days is by means the
most remarkable characteristic of the creature
which not only lays eggs. but also brings forth its
young alive. When 1t happens to have occasion for

We decided TO create an appetite

The success of the venture was well
illustrated when l dropped into a

Perhaps the most novel event is the
race of dog teams. The driver is
permitted to direct his dogs only with
his voice, and on no account to get
off his sleigh to steer. Stories of the
performances of dog teams, as Chi
merical as trout stories, are handed
down from father to son. On the last
occasion twenty-five teams entered.
The starting line was nearly halt a
mile wide; and harder race to start

testants showed SO much more inter
est in the life blood of their next
door neighbors that it was difficult
to prevent the race from developing
into a battle Indeed, some of the
teams were unwiSe enough to round
the turning mark from opposite
directions; when, it is almost needless
to say, some of the competitors came
home on three legs.
AS for the dangers of life in Labra-
dor, should not say that they were

no endemic diseases; we have an

the year there any males egg laying females.
The eggs hatch in the spring; but they produce ready

days old the young themselves, likewise self fer

against playing any match-the con-
testants always STIMULATING before

beaten, as the object was not to

they were we'll aware that they had
not the mental stability to take
beating. These things have passed
