WAsPs LACK COMMON SENSE
Foolish Insects Aid the Work Of IN.
furious ParasItes, Says a French
Scientist.

Paris.-Animal instinct is not al.
ways infallible, Professor Bonier told
the French Academy Of Sciences the
other day. AS al example he de.
scribed Investigations carried out re.
Gently by Professor Roubaud in the
life Of wasps.
They have, it seems, a parasite, Of
tiny gnat, which deposits its larvae in
the cells inhabited by the wasps. The
larvae destroy the wasps' own larvae,
The dead larvae are then devoured
by the wasps themselves and by that
they free the parasites, which would
otherwise die of.
To that error the wasps add an.
other; the parasite gnats in their
turn have an enemy In a microscopic
insect which lays It's eggs in the
gnats' larvae. The wasps do not seem
to be able to distinguish between
friend and enemy; they destroy these
eggs which would have produced val
liable allies for them in the struggle
for life.

GOOD CROP BY DRY FARMING
Prot. Thomas Shaw Makes Interesting
and Instructive Talk on Con-
%servation of Moisture.

Prof. Thomas Shaw, who gave a
very interesting and instructive talk
on dry farming at the Minot Farmers
institute, has had charge Of As de-
nomination farms in Montana the past
It was very dry there SO the
results that he got are significant. Be-
low are some of his statements:
l feel sure that If the land had been
farmed as it should and as 1t could in
1909 and 1910 that the crop in 1910
would have been at least twice what
it was. From the experience that l
have had I am sure that it is possible
to grow a good crop in North Dakota
every year if the moisture is saved.
If the land is handled on the dry farm
ing system. OF the farms that l had
charge of last summer the result was
failure in every case where the land
did not have the right preparation the
year before. Where 1t had there vas
a crop Not as large as can be raised,
but a crop that will go a long way
toward paying expenses and a great
deal larger than was raised here with
q much larger rainfall. At Chester
the rainfall was 7 inches from Sep
TENDER, 1909, to September, 1910, ard
3k inches during the growing season,
and the yields We're 10 to 18 bushels.
At Cutbank the rainfall was 6k
for the same season and the yields
were from 20 to 30 bushels. These
yields were secured on summer fallow
that had been handled right.
The professor said that the right
way was to pillow it in June, pack at
once and follow the packer with the
harrow. And narrowing occasionally
to keep up the soil mulch. The plow-
ing should be done to a good depth,
and this is the best time of the year
to pillow deep. The soil has the mois.
ture in it, and the long summer gives
the soil that has been brought up a
chance to be worked into shape to
give up its plant food.
The professor said that he would
rather have corn ground than the sum.
mer fallow as far as preparing the
soil for a crop of grain. In case the
l. oCaooh oAooAo ~ WI II @CASu IAS
grain on the summer fallow would
produce more straw than that on the
corr ground. When questioned as to
narrowing grain he said that this grain
mentioned above was narrowed four
times. First when the grain was just
coming up. When 1t was four to five
inches high. third when it was six to
seven inches and the fourth time when
1t was nine to ten inches high. He
thought that If the grain had not been
given those four borrowings that the
yields would have been much less. He
also stated that the amount of seed
to sow should be less under dry con.
ditions. That not owe a bushel
should be sown of wheat. In fact
three pecks fife or bluestem and one
bushel Of durum would be about right
in the western part Of the state and
that these amounts could be increased
eastward in the state a the rainfall
was larger.

lambs a be made to suck nicely the
first two or three days, there is but

in February, and they will become

WEBSTER IS WAKING UP
ON SUBJECT OF ROADS
Proposes a Highway Through
the County

Among the visitors in Americas yes
terday was Colonel J. F. Souter, one
of Prestons well known attorneys,
who brings the cheering announce
ment that his good county, Webster,
is now fully alive to the Importance
.of good roads and is going to build
highways like those of other cou1-
ties of South Georgia.
The good roads idea prevails strong
ly there, Colonel Souther states, and
the people are already at work.
Webster has a convict gang, and
seventeen "zebras" are now on the
good roads job over there. This force
will be supplemented by the farmers
residing along the proposed high
ways, who will contribute free labor
to the cause.
1t is proposed to build, first, a
north and south road across the coun-
ty from the SchIey-Webster line
southwark through Preston to the
Terrell line, a distance of about twen-
ty-four miles With this road finish
ed, another link will be built connect
ing Preston with Plains.
This will afford fine road to Amer
icus, a distance of twenty-miles. At
present, the road from Plains is none
too good, and it's Improvements IS
greatly desired. Farmers on the north
and south road will put their labor
ers and mules at the disposal of the
county as soon as the crops have
been laid by.
Sumter will gladly welcome her
good neighbor, Webster, into the good
roads counties of South Georgia.

whole CITY IS GRIEVED,
DEATH OF MRS. FORT
Beloved Lady Unexpectedly
Stricken

When the announcement went forth
at early dawn yesterday that Mrs. Al
len Fort was dead it seemed incred-
ible and friends, hoping the statement
untrue, stood stunned and grief
stricken until it was known beyond
doubt that the pure spirit of this love-
ly woman had indeed winged it's fight
on high.
The angel of death came just as
the darkness of night was dispelled
by the rose tints of dawn, and in the
sunlight of glorious morning the gates
OF Paradise opened unto their own.
In sweet and silent slumber, sur
rounded by her loved ones, the end
came SO peacefully.
Though not in good health for a
month past, no one, not even members
of her household and most intimate
friends, regarded Mrs. Forts condi-
ton as at all serious Wednesday
evening, she appeared better than US
ual, and left her room for a short
walk.
During the succeeding hours Of
night she rested well until 4:3O
o'clock, when one of her daughters
was aroused by her breathing. Other
members of the family were called
hastily and were at the bedside when
the end came.
Their grief at the death of this de-
voted mother is shared by an entire
community, whose tears of sorrow are
mingled with theirs. None knew her
but to love her, none named her but
in praise.
Mrs. Fort was the widow of Judge
Allen Fort, one of Georgias states
men and jurists, who passed away
four years ago She was a member
of the Hollis family, of Marion coua-
ty, one of the best known in the state,
and was married to Judge Fort in Ma
con in December, 1876, at the home
of her relatives, Judge Thomas j..
Simmons.
Their married life, ideal in the full
est sense the term implies, was spent
in Americas, and in all the Southland
there was no ,happier home. In his
profession and in public life. she was
ever her husbands strong right arm,
guiding his every destiny.
Of the sons and daughters surviving
there are Misses Floyd, Mary and
Georgia Fort; Rev Allen Fort, CT
Chattanooga; James Fort, of Wash
ington, and Hollis Fort, of Americus.
Two sisters, Mrs. Susan Taylor and
Mrs. Lucy H. Simmons, are among
the nearest surviving relatives,
though there are other kindred
throughout Southern Georgia.
And to all Of these sincerest sym
pathy is oppressed in the taking away
of their loved one.
The funeral arrangements will 1e
announced tomorrow morning, as the
hour of burial cannot be fully deter
mined until relatives now en- route
here have arrived today.

PENSION LEGISLATION.

1t is fitting that the year bringing
the fiftieth anniversary of the Sumter
call to arms for the preservation of
the union should find congress ready
to render justice to the surviving vet
Grams. The nation would have been
sundered and plunged into another
form Of division and sectional war if
the appeal to the whole loyal popula-
ton of the country had not been met
in a spirit Of indomitable patriotism
and self-sacrifice. 1t required 2,2O0,-
600 armed men to put down the re-
bellion and save the country as an in
destructible union of indestructible
states. The destiny OF the United
Stateos depended on the conflict. There
was no place to turn for soldiers ex-
cept to citizens engaged in their vo-
cations in the fields, the shops and
elsewhere. OF the more than 2.000,-
600 volunteers who fought in defense
OF the union four-fifths have PASSED
away. The survivors average over 20
years Of age, and the mortality among
them is reported to be 100 a day. 1t
Is time to give them full thought un-
less eulogy when taps are sounded is
to be considered sufficient apprecia-
ton.
BY vote Of 212 to So the house
mas passed a bill to grant pensions
ranging from s12 to $50 a month to
