'The African mosquitoes intoxicate

I'd clamp down its edges with valises
and boxes; I'd light inside it three
green wood fires, filling 1t with bitter
smoke that all insects are supposed to
lcathe. Finally I'd get in myself. I'd
smoke big pipes of the black native
tobacco and I'd long miserably in that
hot. smoky atmosphere for the dawn.
For despite all my precautions quite

Frequent cultivation also sets free

from the time the rows can be fol-
loved until the cultivator wheels IN

shovel cultivator is probably the most
practicable More and smaller shovels
would be better in a clean, mellow

will not run on the rows until the
plants become quite large. Level cul-
