mologist. West Virginia University Az
ricultural Experiment Stntionl
The forests of West Virginia are
rich in native nut-bearing trees and
shrubs. At least twenty-seven species
are found that bear nuts which are
used as food by man or by the animals
that are Of value to man. The nut.
bearing trees furnish also the bulk
OF hardwood timber that is produced
In the state.
With the probable exception Of the
beechnut. all the more common varie.
ties OF nuts. and. presumably. those
that are less common as well, are At.
tackled by the larvae, or grubs. of over
dozen different species of snout
beetles. Some of these larvae feed
on the husks and inner tissues of i'm.
mature nuts and others on the ker.
nels OF nuts that are more nearly
ripe. Young walnuts and hickorynuts
are frequently attacked soon after the
blossoms fall from the trees and the
infested nuts drop TO the ground be-
fore they are half grown. Chestnuts,
acorns and some other varieties sus-
tain the greatest injury as they ap.
proach maturity. II is not unusual
for chestnuts that are kept a week or
two after gathering TO become from 50
per cent. to IS per cent. "wormy" and
acorns often suffer to even a greater
extent. The infested nuts are rem
iered unfit for food and In many cases
are SO badly eaten that they will not
terminate when planted.
The injury which these insects do to
a valuable article OF food and their
direct detriment to natural forest de-
velopment, in causing the failure of

Chestnuts are frequently gathered

these worms" come from has often
been q matter of conjecture on the
part of those who handle nuts. 1t is
a common belief that they originate
from the sting" Of some insect ad
ministered at the time the trees are
in bloom. As a matter Of fact. they
hatch from eggs that are in the nuts
at the time the nuts are gathered.
Most of these eggs are deposited by
this chestnut weevil a short time pre-
vious to the dropping OF the nuts
from the trees.
The common acorn weevil is the
largest of the weevils attacking
acorns. In size ii is similar to the
hickorynut weevil but in color il more
nearly resembles the larger chestnut
weevil. The spots on the back are
smaller than in the latter species.

conspicuous. The snout is very slen-

the female. ii is nearly half an inch

as long as the body. The pygidium.
or last abdominal segment. of the male
is deeply concave with the concavity
smooth and shining and surrounded by
a rim of silken hairs. This peculiar
character enables the species to be
separated very readily from all other
members of the genus.

REGULATE SEX

Se4entasts Have Been Studying fog
Years to Discover Law and
Undoubtedly Il Would BE
Boon to PouItrynen.

For years the scientists have been
trying to discover the law that regu-
,Istes sex. Undoubtedly the discovery
would be great boon to poultry
keepers. To have the farm over-run
with cockerels when early pullets are
wanted is annoying. and It is not sur
prising that any system purrorting TO
regulate the sex is eagerly tried by
breeders. We have heard il claimed
that the pointed eggs hatched pullets
and the round ones cockerels, and
then again the opposite is claimed.
Others claim that the location Of the
air cell is the determining factor. and
again that 1t Is merely a question Of

What to Do
Before the
Doctor Comes

There are few people who at one
time or another in their lives have
not been present when some person
was injured, or when some emergency
case arose. 1t is unfortunate how few
know what to do to aid the unlucky
person until physician can arrive.
A great amount of good can be done
by the proper emergency treatment
In saving the strength of the patient,
lessening the duration and degree OF
his suffering and, in cases where the
skin has been broken, in preventing
the injured part from becoming more
infected than il was at the time Of
the accident.
Although il is very necessary to
Know what to do in case of emer-
gency, it is quite as important to
know what not to do. 1t has often &C
CURED that because of some ill-ad-
vised emergency treatment the inju-
rles of the unfortunate person, which
were serious enough at first. have
been made more severe
In Serious Cases Send for the Doctor.
Two points, which, although not q
part OF the treatment itself. in all
serious cases az least should not be
overlooked, are first. don't forget to
send for the nearest physician at once
so that he may be coming while you
are proceeding with the treatment
and second don't get excited or fright

as you may do something in your
haste that may add further TO the
injuries or suffering of the patient
The seriousness Of burns and scalds,
OF course, depends upon their extent
and degree. Death is usually the re-
suit If two-thirds of the body's sur
lace Is affected by only very slight
burn or ii one-third Of the surface is
affected by burn that destroys the
tissues below the skin. Other results
OF burns and scalds not fatal are de-
formlties caused by destruction of the
tissues and parts and the contraction
OF the scar tissue that is formed In
which may go On TO a general blood
poisoning

TINY BABY'S ol!IFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot. all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first 1t seemed to be q few
mattered pimsles. They would break
the skin and peel on leaving the IN
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body. leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top Of her
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw.
full to see SO small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then We decided to try Cuticura
BY using the Cuticura Ointment We
softened the scab and 1t came OF. In
der this, where the real matter was.
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment.
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
of and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is a hne
picture Of a fat little baby and all
is we'll. We only used one cake Of Cuti-
cura Soap. two boxes OF Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re
solvent. II people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer

THE. BLACK MAN

CUT VICTORY
Fight BY Rounds
Tells Bloody
Story

RlNGsIDE, RENO, July 5.-After
fifteen rounds Of the most cruel pun.
ishment ever inflicted on white
heavyweight by a negro boxer, Jack
Johnson, yesterday afternoon conclu'
sively proved his right TO the heavy.
weight championship OF the world by
winning in fight that was one sided
from the start, outboxing, outslugging,
and outroughing the once great white
man. Johnson showed his superiority
throughout. He was In danger only
once during the course of the battle
and that was when JEFF landed two
solid smashes to the stomach.
Johnson jabbed Jeffries on the face
and body, almost at will and soon had
the big fellow battered and the right
eye completely closed, the right cheek
being cut, the lips pdffed and the
forehead swollen.
At the beginning of the end of the
fourteenth round. Jeffries was barely
able to see and the first punch caused
him to wobble.
Johnson dashed in right and left
and whenever they were clinching
sent Jeffries' head back with right
uppercut. Jeffres could hardly see
and his efforts were appealing. When
he retired to his corner he wobbled.
When In his chair he hung his head
and shook it in sorrowful manner.
The Last Round.
He came up very weak for the flf
tcenth. Johnson seeing his advan
tage, and with a series of right and
left smashes to the head, sent JEFF
fries down for the count OF eight

scious and was an easy; prey for the
