Farmers have become so acuus-
toned to fighting weeds and grass
in the cultivated fields that they
regard 1t as a matter of necessity.
They think the land is full OF foul
seeds and of course they will sermi-
nate when it rains.
When virgin soils are first placed
in cultivation they are comparative
" free from weeds and grass, and
that they become toul is due TO
faulty management on the part of

The crowded city is more repcllent

men too often are, by that desire for
civic growth which looks only to in.
crease in numbers and material gain.

To say that comet caused the

attribute to 1t plague. war and famine,
as did some people hundreds of years
ago 1t is natural enough to regard
usual, and, therefore. the poets have
aptly referred to them on occasions
of dramatic intensity.
Thus Milton, relating In Paradise
Lost" the beginning OF the rebellion
of the hordes of hell against the hosts
of heaven. tells us that
lncensed with indignation, Satan
stood
Unterrifed and like comet burned.
Likewise Shakespeare, following in
the steps of the historian Plutarch,
represents Rome on the eve of Cae-
sar's assassination as prey to the
elements. Casca speaks OF "A tempest
dropping FIRE" and is inclined TO the
opinion that
Or else the world. too saucy with the

When beggars die there are no comets

The banana, which the late Sir AL

in England. is believed by some peo-
pie to be the original forbidden fruit
Of the Garden of Eden la any case,
ii Is one OF The curositles of the veg
etable kingdom, being not tree, II
palm, a bush, a shrub. vegetable or
an herb, but a herbaceous plant with
the status of tree. Although 1t some
times attains a height of thirty feet,
there is no woody fiber in any part
of its structure, and the punches
growing on the dwarf banana plant
are often heavier than the stalk which
supports them. No plant gives such a
quality OF food 10 the acre as the ba-
mana; 1t yields forty-four times more
than wheat. Moreover, no insect Will
attack 1t, and It is always immune
from disease of any kind. Altogether,
a highly favored plant.
