During these hot summer days occur
phenomena which very few Of us rigidly
understand. What is sunstroke? Why are
some persons affected by the sun and not
others? Why do negroes bear tropical heat
better than white men? Why are southern
races dark, and how did they become so?
And why, after white man has been ex-
posed to the suns rays for several hours,
does he first burn, then peel and finally
tan?

tributing cause, is not the chief cause Of

Second Rate Conference-Gov.
ernor Will Take No Action.

Raleigh Spe cial. 3oth. to Charlotte Observer
A three hours conference to-
day between Governor Kitchin,
State officers ond officials of the
several railroad companies re-
garding the railroad passenger
rate situation resulted in no
progress so far as any agree
ment for concerted action to
procure legislation at this ses-
sion that would allow the Cor
poration Commission or other
State tribunal to investigate and
readjust the rates if shown by
the railroads to be too low, af-
ter the trial year ending April
LIST. It did develop that Gov
ernor Kitchin will oppose any
movement whatsoever at this
time to reopen the question of
passenger rates and that if
there is any movement at this
session the railroad COM
panies will have to take the
initiative and procure the intro
duction of the bill to empower
the commission to pass on the
rates after some fixed period
within the next two years and
try for getting it through the
Legislature in spite of the op-
position of Governor Kitchin.

Of the island has totally disap-
peared, and the soil has been so
noneycombed by the rodents that
it can no longer be cultivated. In
a number of the Channel islands
where there are many thousands
of rats, only a few ferns and
MOSES grow. The animals live
on crabs, which exist in great
numbers. Rats go on grabbing
expeditions at low tide and cap
ture theshelfish by biting off their
legs. They then carry the bodies
to their burrows. The sewer rat
is at home in sea water, and will
swim from a wharf to any an
chored vessel that takes it's fan
cy, crawling aboard by means of
the anchor chain. 1t is estimat-
ed that rats yearly do$1O, 600. 600
damage in the cargoes of vessels
and in warehouses on docks. Rats
areomnivorous, eating everything
from wheat and poultry to the
bark of trees, and they sometimes
attack children and old people.
They carry disease germs from
one part of the world to another
and extraordinary precautions
have to be taken against them in
various ports. Rats multiply with
terrific rapidity, a single pair

quantity of the homegrown pro-
duct has increased to a remark
able degree since the Depart
ment Of Agriculture began its
propaganda for diversified agri-
culture in the South as a means
of fighting the boil weevil. In
some sections, especially in Ala
bama and Mississippi, alfalfa
has become an important crop.
Last spring one small town in
Mississippi sold over 50, 900 worth
of alfalfa seed. Five years ago
there was hardly an acre of this
crop in that vicinity.
Many other crops formerly
grown in small acreages only
have been sown on an increasing
ly large scale for the past few
years. This is especially true of
corn, cow peas, and beans. The
cow pea crop especially has be-
come vastly more important than
formerly. This crop is used both
for hay and as a seed crop, for
which there has been a steady
demand at good prices.
Southern farmers also are turn
ing their attention to stock rdis-
ing. Cattle have not been much
raised in the South, both because
forage crops were not extensive
ly grown and because CT the
presence Of the tick which
spreads the dreaded Southern
cattle fever. The government,
both State and national, is now
making an effort to eradicate
this tick, with every promise of
success. This will permit of the
development of an important new
industry in the South which is
not affected by the boil weevil.
Apparently it will only be a
short time before the South will
adjust it's agricultural industries
to the changed conditions brought
about by the advent of the boil
weevil, and will be even more
prosperous than it was when
cotton was king. At the same
time, owing to improved methods
of culture, and increased acreage.
the cotton crop will probably be
even greater than it is now"

are not dangerous and which are
some times even useful, the mi

civilization has evolved and which
follows men into every cline. is
a serious peril to mankind. This
