Actions That Seem to Indicate Some
Sort of Nervous System.
Plants sometimes appear to possess
reasoning power. Charles Darwin in
stanced the case of the rootlet, which,
piercing its way through the soil and
detecting a stone or lump of hard clay
In its path, will go round it without
touching it. How does the rootlet or
plant know that the stone is there?"
he asks. certainly 1t cannot see it
and as it does not touch it cannot feel
it. The avoidance therefore seems to
be in the nature Of perception of some
kind which is mental operation"
The species of mimosa known as the
sensitive plant will contract its leaves
even at the sound Of a footstesp. and
when such a plant is being transplant
ed it crumpies up during the process in
such a way that it really appears to be
suffering from fear. Afterward 1t re-
covers and resumes it's ordinary mode
of life.
Plants undoubtedly possess con-
seriousness of kind which ables
them to carry out certain operations
necessary TO their preservation, and
this can only be done through the pos

By ALEX .. COBB,
County AGENT.

Reports from different farmers
would seem to indicate that the wheat
crop in Wayne county this year had
been successful. Reports of %, 2s
and 80 bushel yields sound good. but
it is always to be remembered that
the big yields are the ones that are
most often reported. Some investiga-
ton has shown that there are farmers
in the county whose wheat only aver
aged 10 TO Is bushels. Taking it all
around it is hardly likely that the
county average will be much over
that of the last few years, from Is TO
Is bushels.
Not Paying Crop.
The average farmer of the county,
when closely questioned will concede
that wheat is not considered a pay
ing crop on his farm, and is sown
mainly to round out the crop rotation,
and to aid in securing a stand of
clover. This is not at all a healthy
viewpoint from a business standpoint,
and practical investigation tends to
show that it is not a necessary con-
dition. Considering the rental value
of land to be about $500 per acre, it
costs about $3.50 to produce an acre
of wheat. A Is bushel yield barely
pays this expense. The county av-
erage in 1911 was 1871 bushels.

HANDLE EXPLOSIVES
Colonel Taylor Talks to a
Number of Railroad Men.

Before a crowd of between so and
rs railroad men, Colonel Taylor, chief
of the Bureau of Explosives, delivered
an interesting lecture on the Trans
portation of Explosives and Imfiam-
mables" in the auditorium of the high
school last night.
His lecture was illustrated with
stereopticon views. Colonel Taylors
talk held the close attention of the
railroaders. He pointed out the inn
portance of railroad men knowing the
physical rules governing and relating
to the transportation of explosives
and combustibles.
"The explosives are foes worse than
war. They are more deadly, more
dangerous and more treacherous. Men
must know how to handle them if
they would call themselves railroad
men," he declared.
I'm the six years previous to the
establishing Of the bureau which
represent, 80 per cent of the accidents
which resulted from the transporta-
ton of explosives was due to the ig-
norance of the men who are RESPONSE
BILE. Now the Interstate Commerce
commission requires that railroad men
be instructed in this matter"

Powerful Argument Advanc-
ed For Building Tubercu-
losis Hospital.

On account of the economic value
of each man and woman to the COM
munity in which he or she lives, it
is asserted by DR.. S. Edgar Bond,
members of the Antf-tuberculosis So
ciety of Wayne County, that hospital
for the care and treatment of tuber-
cular patients would be a valuable
asset to the county, by saving such
men and women to a life of useful
ness, instead of allowing them to die
and leave their share of undone.
I'VE have been prodigal with life,
and now we are beginning to realize
the value of the individual man. We
have legislation in state and nation
for the protection of our laborers in
factories, and for the general public,
yet in our own state the loss of life
from tuberculosis every year is vastly
greater than from all external clauses,
including railroad accidents" he stat
ed.
An Apt Illustration.
"suppose that a thunderboIt would
descend from a clear sky and entirely
destroy the city of Richmond, killing
several thousand residents at once and
causing all the others to die a linger-
ing death. The entire world would be
Mortified, and would Immediately put
their vast resources at the command
of the stricken city, send their most
able scientists to investigate, and
make every possible effort to help the
suffering people, especially If they
thought that they could successfully
help the stricken city. But enough
people die in the United States every
year from tuberculosis to make city
the size of Richmond, and yet we are
entirely ignoring the situation, with
the exception of a few active organiZa-
tons who are trying to bring the mat
ter before the eyes of the public. Mil
lions of dealars will probably be spent
to protect Dayton against a disaster
similar to the one which befell it last
spring, and yet the only thing lost
which can not be replaced was less
than five hundred lives in and around
Dayton. Compare this with the an
nual loss Of more than four thousand
lives in cur own state from this dread
tuberculosis.
"The figures given on the deaths in
Indiana from various causes are as
tonishing tuberculosis cause over
four thousand deaths; pneumonia is
responsible for over three thousand,
and all external causes two thousand
five hundred. Smallpox, so much
dreaded, caused only twelve deaths
last year, and yet if person became
afflicted with this disease he is hus-
tied off to a pesthouse. whether he
wants to go or not, and yet tubercu-
Iosis, with its toll of over four thou
sand deaths a year, is allowed to flour
fish unchecked by any concerted eff
fort"
