They Ate the Crops in Nigeria So Fast
Natives Gave Up Farming.
In many parts of Nigeria. and es-
pecially among the hill regions Of the
northern provinces. balloons are one Of
the greatest plaques TO the farmer and
a source of menace to property and
even to life. A protectorate officer
while engaged in business in a noun
tain village was informed by the local
queen that her people could not con-
tinue their farming owing to the raids
of baboons.
During the absence Of the men a few
weeks previously these beasts had ac-
tually come into the heart OF the VIII
lage and destroyed the crops. accord
ing to the Wide World Magazine. The
natives are in constant dread Of them
and continually fear for the safety Of
their children.
sir William wallace relates that he
has seen droves of nifty to a hundred
of these animals all in single file, and
that lately he himself shot two effor-
nous brutes who were grinning at him
from the cliffs. They utter a nerve
shattering and a horrid bark.
They possess a regular system OF de-
fence and always have signallers out
TO watch the approach Of a possible
enemy. These scouts are always tho
biggest monkeys and they signal by
lbarlxs TO their comrades when stran.
gers are approaching.
