While crops of almost all kinds make a more vigorous growth in seasons that are too wet rather than those that are too dry. 1t Is noticeable in period of years that small grain is of a better quality when the rather dry conditions prevail, while the root crops do better In the more moist seasons.

Weather Man Says All Rain
 Fell Yesterday No More Now

It rained yesterday afternoon, rained hard for short while, but the threat ening clouds before the game did more to cast a wet blanket upon the fans of Montgomery and surrounding towns than did the actual precipitation.
 The weather man was called on the telephone about as often as central could make the connections, and for some time was busy informing fans that things looked wet. and that chances were about even as to whether 1t would rain before o'clock or after that hour. It was a sure thing that 1t was going to rain sometime before night, anyhow.
 To make up for the dismal dampness and disappointed crowd of yesterday the weather man says that the next three days will be almost ideal baseball weather. With the clearing off of the clouds last night the thermometer was expected to drop slightly, but not enough to hurt the most sensitive of pitching arms. The temperature will, however, begin an upward movement as soon as the high barometer area which Is bringing the fair and pleasant weather really gets here.
 The rain area was yesterday after noon moving off to the eastward from the Mississippi Valley. and 1t was thought in the Weather Bureau Ofice yesterday that all of the games of the Southern League would be interfered with. This was not based upon any reports as to the cities themselves, but on the weather map covering those cities.
 During the thunder storm which passed over the city yesterday after noon about o'clock, the wind attained a velocity. of thirty-four miles per hour. the direction being from the north. The greater portion of the .9s inches of rain which fell was precipi- tated within twenty minutes. Of this

told that 1t is composed Of the central
small portions only Of the flowers Of
the crocus, 10000 Of which it takes to
make a pound. Altar Of roses sells at
SIP odd per pound, and IT takes
10000 pounds, or nearly five tons Of
roses, to obtain one pound Of the oil.
Aconitine, extracted from the root Of
monkshood, is said to be the very
strongest poison extant, the dose being
one six-hundredth Of grain. 1t is sold
at the rate of sos per ounce. x
Turning from the vegetable to the
animal world in search Of rare drugs,
the writer refers to the musk of the
Asiatic deer, which at $24 to $50 an
ounce must be prize to the Willy
hunter. In some Of the tropical seas a
floating, sweet smelling mass of am
bergris is met with worth at present
$50 per ounce, or $3.50 per pound In
