The farmer may not venerate the
automobile, but he must admit that,
although the automobile teaches otn

a very valuable lesson in economy.
Everybody knows how plant lice. or
aphis, overrun and destroy plants ana
how the sole protection against plant
lice has heretofore been patent pow
ders more or less costly.
But of late years farmers have no
ticed that. while all the plants in held
or garden were covered with aphis
all the roadside growths, white with
dust from flying automobiles. had not
a single aphis on them.
Hence an experiment. Turnips. peas
and cabbages were coated with ordi
nary dust instead of costly powder
Result disappearance of all insect par
asites.
The automobile. in word, has
taught the farmer that dust, which
costs nothing. will protect his plants
from plant lice and other pests just as
completely as the most expensive
powder can.

FEARED SECOND CRASH.

Our greatest terror, outside of the
bitter cold which benumbed us was
the fear that the Carpathia would be
unable to see us and would run us
down. We wanted to keep the boats
together as closely as possible, and
the only rowing that was done was
to get away from the suction Of the
Titanic when Il sank, and to keep
warm when we felt about to be over
come by the bitter cold.
After the ship had sank, every
thing became as quiet as the grave.
Nobody talked; not word was spok-
en- during the long vigil until the
Carpathia hove in sight about 7:30
o'clock, when it was broad daylight.
The only words uttered as we stood
huddled in our little craft were those

nocently up into his mothers face
