Mosquito larvae are the food these mil

fasten on an old tough one in preference
to common food like water bugs. They
have to catch the old mosquitoes on the

based chiefly on their destruction Of the

FISH TO FIGHT MOSQUITOES

Waters.

PANAMA. Sept. I.-They are going 70
make fish do a large part Of the mosquito
fighting on the isthmus in the future. The
Canal commission has received a lot Of
mosquito-killing fish from the Island Of
Barbados in the West Indies and is going
to begin a systematic planting Of the
species in waters within the Canal Zone.
The fish have been placed temporarily in
the tank in the court OF the Administration
building at Ancon.
The freedom Of Barbados from malaria
has been attributed to the presence of
these fish In large numbers in the streams
and lakes Of the island. The fish are
known commonly as millions and their
scientific name is Girardlnus poeciloides,
They belong to a group Known as top min

near the surface Of the water.
They are never more than IN inch and

Scientific Training in Agriculture

given large prominence and from statistics
presented European Russia, Siberia and
western anada have millions upon millions
OF acres which can be utilized for the rails
ing of export wheat, but the United States,
with its rapidly increasing population has
pretty we'll reached the limit of its wheat
area. and now we must attack the prob
lem differently and raise more wheat per
acre planted. The average of Germany and
England is over thirty bushels Of wheat
per acre, while our is about thirteen, and
in Nebraska, with soil that cannot be beaten
for potential fertility, the yield is about
eighteen bushels.
During all these discussions, involun-
tarily the question came TO my mind.

Knowing as l do the qualities which are
stored up in the bosom Of our unduIating
valleys and splendid prairie lands, coupled
with physical and climatic conditions where
wheat. corn, alfalfa, clover and other crops
are successfully grown, these allied with
the potential fertility our lands possess,
afford the machinery whereby the soil viii
give more generous response and yet keep
its capital stock intact.
The thinking men Of Nebraska have and
are emphasizing the Importance OF an in
teligent agriculture, but / am sorry to
say we are sadly behind in the procession
OF our sister states and the provinces across
our northern border in the matter OF pro-
viding the means whereby the result OF

duc.iuns. Winnipeg. situated as II Is
amidst the best wheat fields of the great
northwest, seemed to be a very fitting place
for the netting together Of botanists,
CHI mists. soil physicists, plant reeders
and active agriculturists, who are seeking
by united effort TO get the best possible
return from the land and to conserve its
abb ity to meet the needs of future genera
tons.
Major P. G. Craigie presided over the
subsection. He was a member for many
years OF the Board of Agriculture Of Great
Britain and a man who has given much
attention to the problem OF the food sup
DIV Of the world and the ability of the land
10 feed the mouths OF the rapidly increas-
ing population OF the globe. His address
was a very mastery review OF the food
problem. During the days that followed
this address and until the close of the
meetings. the question OF how TO meet the
physical needs Of the world and keep intact
the earth's productive ability was the
esiduum OF all the addresses and discus

public good. And on the last day OF the
meetings I have been speaking OF the sec
uons OF chemistry, botany and economic
science met with that of agriculture, and
the president of the meeting, DR.. Arm
strong Of London university, in summing
up the result of the discussion, said: THE
best policy Of insurance a nation can in
vest in is the intelligent use and care of
its landed possessions"
Yet Nebraska, with it's rich inheritance
of soil conditions. which are unique, whose
possibilities OF production one can scarcely
compute, with a population considerably
over double that OF the province Of Man
itoba, has less than one-third as much
invested in its agricultural college, than
that province has. they having spent dur
ing the last four years over 81, $780, 600 in
buildings and equipment, and the same
comparison is true Of other provinces and
our own states. l believe that the most
important business the people Of Ne
braska have on hand today is the elabora-
ton Of a system whereby definite informa-
ton as regards the best methods for the
securing of maximum crops and keeping
intact the fertility Of the soil shall be car

MCREARY HOME IS BURNED
Dwelling at Benson Partially De-
stFOyed by Fire EARLY in
the Morning.

Fire, caused. supposedly. by electric wir-
ing. partially destroyed the handsome home
OF w. w. McCreary on South Lynn avenue
Ia Benson between s and I O'Clock Saturday
morning. The volunteer fire department
OF Benson turned out and fought the blaze
without help from the Omaha IRE depart
ment.
Although badly damaged and wholly
burned in part the house was saved from
total destruction. It Is understood the
loss, amounting TO 5000 or 5000. Is fully
covered by insurance.
Neighbors first saw the flames after the
latter had gained q good start. The front
OF the house was burned the worst, the
northeast corner being the seat Of the fires
origin.
All the furniture was saved. Considerable
damage to the unburned portion Of the
house was done by water. The home OF
DR.. II. w. L~oechner. within twenty-five
feet OF the McCTeary residence. narrowly
escaped catching fire. The work of the
volunteer firemen proved decidedly efficient

uE recent meetings Of the Brit

vaneement Of Science, which

from many countries Of the world. In

over the seas and a large attendance trom
our own country and Canada. BY courtesy
the members of the American association
were admitted as members OF the mother
society and very largely participated IN

For convenience the meetings are divided
up into sections representing different nat

The school superintendent was In
the habit of dropping In to the differ

cital Of lessons from the pupils. One
day her active mind hit upon physiol-
ogy as the study for examination.
It happened that the teacher did
herself not like the study of the hui
man anatomy and therefore had not
drilled her scholars rs she should have
done. But the little girl to whom the
first question was put SO bewildered
the superintendent and made her lose
her patience that there were no more
questions OF similar nature asked.

$50 to any one who would volunteer
for the unpopular task of hanging a
condemned criminal. Seeing his chance
to make up for his bad market and
comforting himself with the thought
that he was unknown there, he did

lishman would But he answered, with
