CRAWFISH VERSUS COTTON
BY ROBERT A. SANBORN

black soil will bring a CLEAN of prosperity
TO his eve, and the day following he will be
brought angrily to consider the necessity OF
planting again. The crawfiSh, being a cruS-
taccan of thin shell and delicate person,
must avoid the direct rays of the sun. SO he
iudiciously remains in his hole through the
dav, controlling his pangS of hunger until
the sun has proceeded elsewhere. He is not
a bit secretive as to the locality Of his abode;
for as he tunnels he brings the mud to the
surface and piles it in chimney torn round
the opening In digging he probably uses
his tail, and by curling this appcndage he
CONVEYS the supcrfluous mud to the sur
face. A field inhabited by crawilSh resembles
from distance a field badly narrowed,
being scattered thickly with these rough
chimncyS from eight to ten inches high. he
holes 90 down TO depths OF sixteen feet;
though the average depth Is from five to
eight feet. :
In drv seasons the farmer has chance OF
getting his crop well started, since the craW-
fish will hug the moiStcr depths; but IN wet
seasons he might as well not plant at all IN
this infested region. In this event the rule
is to plant corn, which, owing to ITS peculiar
manner Of growth, is practically exempt
from danger Of being eaten OIL.
Attempts have been made to rid the fields
Of crawfish by gathering them at night and
shipping them to the markets in New Or
leans From a field of eighty acres one farm
cr collected twcnty-scvcn barrels one year,
and twelve barrels the next. Another farmer
offered his negroes a barrel Of flour for every
barrel of crawfish they brought him 1t
was economical for him to keep this bargain
until flour went above three dollars a barrel,
when he changed to corn. In ten years he
rcckoncd that he had given away over two
hundred barrels Of flour and corn. As the
crawiish run about six thousand to the bar
rel some idea Of their oppressive numbers
may be reached.
If it was practically possible to accom-
plish. closing the holes at night and 50 cX-
posing the crawtsh to the next day sun
would undoubtedly relieve the situation;
but the stopping Of several million holes IS a
feat that would require more than one night
Some experiments will be made this year
under the direction Of the Biological Survey
Of the Department Of Agriculture in using
calcium carbide and Chord OF lime; for
this local plague has now enlisted the very
highest powers in the land.

TO the idle and disintercsted person 1t IS
at first amusing TO think OF the lobster
as a positive ChcCkmate to the growth OF
cotton. There is an element Of the fantastic
in this association which leads to the threSh-
old Of a world as wild and topsyturvy as
Wonderland or Looking glass. Plants have
their natural enemies, and agrlculturiStS
their handCaps, and things are bad enough,
thinks the farmer, without imagining little
monsters that crawl up out Of the mud at
night and bite off the heads of infant cotton
plants. And vet this is not imaginary but
an actual condition that obtains in very
fertile region Of Mississippi and Alabama.
Around the Mississippi Agricultural COL
lcgc at Aberdeen they are not laughing at
this queer and unexpected performance OF
the lobster. As a matter of fact, they would
seriously explain that it was not the lobster at
All that was giving them trouble, but the
crawfish. However, the craWllSh, or CrayiiHh.

there is more to it than this.
Up in the northeastern part OF Mississippi
is a strip of peculiar soil that extends IN
southeastern direction down into Alabama.
1t is all Of one hundred and fifty miles long,
and varies in width from ten to twenty
miles. The soil itself is an adobe or gumbo

surrounding the strip lies the post-oak coun-

which is a loose gravel Where this has been
