The Advice G. Some.

Everybody feels at liberty to ad-
wise and prescribe fol- The farmer,
and often the advice he gets is won
derfuI indeed. We have, for exam
pie, letter frcn a Florida reader
telling how paper in that state de-
clared that it would not do to turn
under green crops there, that they
would produce humic acid (which
is death to crops" Yet our friend
has turned under green crops for
three years and still grows other
crops. Similar ha1f-information is
responsible for the advice SO often
given to cut out cotton entirely, for
the insistence on "diversification"
that means only the planting Of a
variety Of crops without any fixed
plan Of rotation Or farm manage
ment, and for lots Of other equally
valuable advice. As farmers, we
undoubtedly have much to learn yet,
and can learn much from men in
other lines Of work; but we confess
that it makes Us rather tired to have
men who do not know the first little
bit of farm practice or agricultural
science turn loose a lot of unsought
advice at the farmer.-The Pro-
gresSive Farmer.

AMERICAN liL!TfRsCY.
Both Germany and England Are Far
Ahead Of Us in Education.

The attitude some OF our people
assume in depressing foreigners ant
all that is foreign, argues them both
narrow and intolerant. In respects
TO some Of the purposes and activi
ties of life we may, with propriety
! study EGrOVean countries. For in.
stance, in the matter If education
both Germany and England are far
ahead Of US. It would be folly fol
US to deny it.
Figures compiled by the United
States bureau of edacation show
that there are only three persons
out Of every 10000 in Germany who
cannot read and write; that there
are $50 illiterates out Of every TO-
000 persons in Great Britain. In
the United States the proportion is
40 iIiijerates IN 10000.
The department of educa ton is
not convincing when it explains the
great discrepancy by saying that the
figures taken il Germany relates on
ly to adults, while the figures taken
IN the United States embrace all
persons over the age CT ten years.
lnasmuch as nearly every person
learns to read and write before he
is ten years of age, if he learns to
read at all, the explanation is not
satisfying.
The principal reason for the large
proportion Of illiterates in America
IS the presence of several million
negroes, a considerable number Of
Indians and thousands of foreign
immigrants, who come from the
most illiterate classes. Of certain
European nations. AL American
states having a large negro pOpula-
ton, have large class f ilIiterates.
For instance, in Alabama. which is
low in the list Of states, when literacy
is considered, there is only 3 per
cent Of the white population litter
ate. On the other hand nearly 40
per cent Of the total negro popula-
ton is iliteratc.
It is to be remember, Il. however,
that no real or general effort has
been made 10 give the negro the ed
ucation except in the past forty
years. It is also to be remembered
that the percentare cf iliterates
the negroes is steadily de-
The negro is yet in the
position where -.le must depend up
on the white race fer the education
Of his children. The steady de-
crease in the number OF negro illit-
crates is evidence Of a growing
spirit Of generosity on the part Of
the dominant race, as we'll as Of an

George Ort, who is employed at
Braman's livery, met with what
might have been a fatal accident on
Friday morning about II o'clock,
when assisting in taking Braman's
western horses from the cars. He
was holding large black by rope
and had proceeded down the runway
to the gate when horse on one side
of the black bumped into him and
frightened him so that he reared up.
Mr.. Ort was at the horses head and
the horse struck him in the arm and
back, knocking him down. He was
severely bruised about his legs and
arms but no bones were broken. DR..
Powell gave the injured man atten-
ton at his home where he was TAX

A peculiar formation on the leaf
of the white ash and water beech
has been reported by Theodore Day
of Dyberry, who was in town on
Monday lie brought with him
formations and he declared he
never saw anything like them. On
the Beech leaf there are small red
formations running along the veins

different appearance in that its for
nation is in the shape of pea pod
and of a reddish brown color. The
insect lays the egg on the leaf and
the egg causes the leaf to swell up
and gradually inclose the eggs into a
pod-shaped mass. The leaf is entire
ly used up in the process and Mr.
Day says that many of his Ash trees
are covered with this formation and
on some limbs every leaf has been
absorbed into a brooding place for
the eggs of the unknown insect. On
opening one of the pods small white
worms were seen, one pod contain
ing about twenty-five of them. They
appear to have small legs and crawl
in the manner of a grub. Mr.. Day
says that he believes they ultimately
go into a chrysilis form and develop
into some species of fly.
