MoNGOOSE IS A PEST
WEST INDIES SEEKING PLAN TO

The mongoose pest IL becoming
really serious; Il 10 worse than ever. :
writes Trinidad correspondent to q
British paper.
Formerly. he says, the government
gave Q substantial reward for each
body or tail produced. but no sub
atantial reduction resulted. Some en-
terDrising peasants were suspected Of
making successful minor industry
by breeding the mongoose, and In one
ward Il was established that an inno-
cent warden had paid for the same
tails over and over. again. AS soon
as bought they were buried. only to
be dug up and sold again In the morn
Ing.
Another amusing. II expensive. thing
occurred n this connection In two ad-
joining wards an experiment was
tried. At one they gave q fat rate
rs cents each-male or female. At
another the price was 81 for the fe-
male and 80 cents for the male.
After some time It dawned on the
ofIlcial purchasers that there was q
great prsponderance Of females in the
latter ward. The simple peasant had
again proved one too many for the au-
thorities. Inquiry proved that all the
females caught In both wards were
sold Ia the one where the price was
raised. and all the males vice versa

PULvERIZED SOIL is
BETTER THAN CLODS
PIantfood Already in Ground Is
More Accessible-Land Rem
dered More Fertile.

Soil well pulverized before the crop
Is planted is much more productive
than cloddy land or any land left with
an uneven surface, because the plant
food already in the land is made more
accessible and the little root feeders
which literally fill the ground can bet
ter gather nourishment from both
earth and air.
Land thoroughly plowed and thor
oughly pulverized before planting is
not only rendered more fertile from a
natural standpoint. but is in far better
condition to receive whatever artificial
fertilizing one may wish to apply.
