USE THE SWATTER

On the authority of the United
States government, WI are Informed
that "a single fly at the end of the
ninth generation may reach the num-
Der of 1858, 100000 0 female flies, to say
nothing of the male flies"
Figuring from this basis, a single fly
killed in June means that several bill
lions will never be born which other
wise would be on hand to annoy and
destroy the human race.
A fly killed in June means that mil
lions may be deducted from the July fly
census returns. This is an encouraging
proposition.

ITS SPRINGTIME ONCE MORE
Weather Conditions Change Wonder
fully in Two Weeks

Weather conditions made remark
able strides toward real springtime
conditions within the two weeks Just
past and ii now appears that every
thing will shape about so that FARM
ing operations will begin on average
schedule time.
Two weeks ago today, Thursday the
ground was still frozen from the grass
roots to anywhere from three to five
feet below the surface. The rain of
ten days since and the subsequent
spring-like weather made the usual
rapid changes during the past week.
Several early birds put in garden
last week-such as lettuce, onions,
radishes, etc. and others are planning
on planting potatoes this week. The
usual spring "roarback" may be ex-
pected at any time, however, and be-
fore this is in print the surface of the
ground may be frozen and the fellow
who has been figuring on breaking the
1925 spud market may wish that he
had kept his high-priced seed cuttings
in the cellar until Good Friday. The
warm sunshine of the last few days
of last week has caused the lawns and
pasture to take on something of the
emerald hues of spring" which is
good ten days earlier than the aver
age green grass.
The maple buds bursted their COW
erings during last Friday and Satur-
day, the sap was dripping from mill
ions of broken limbs. the blackbirds
and meadow larks arrived and voiced
their gladness and all appearances
were that the Ice King had again been

II showed Tuesday: double P.S.-The
ground was frozen hard Thursday
morning; n B.-Spring may have re-
treated into Arkansas or Louisiana.

Farming in Many Lands

W. E. Aughinbaugh, in Leslie's.
 Despite the large tracts of ground under cultivation in Latin Am erica and the far east. little real progress has been made in the actual use of modern farming machinery. Through out these lands one sees crooked sticks, some few tipped with iron serving as blows. Cereals are cut by sickles. or else by pieces of tin taken from Standard Oil cans, in far more places than by harvesters, and the OK and the ass are obliged to do the work of the threshing machine so common in America Winnowing is still done by tossing the seeds with the cheff m the air, with the result that the pre- vailing winds blow the useless mate rial aside allowing the grain to fall into a receptacle. The only innovation have ever seen in this line was in Burma, where elephants were used as winnowing machines. Unhulled ricS . was placed in hollowed trees and a log held by the elephants trunk was used to pound the mass, thus separ- ating chaff from rice The elephant then inserted his trunk into the re- ceptacle and with one snort blew the chaff away.
 Good roads are not to be met with in the agricultural countries where large estates are to be found, and as a rule most of these big farms are in iso- lated districts far away from rail- roads or other transportation facili- ties. As consequence the crop has to be hauled sometimes hundreds of miles to market. This is especially true in Uruguay. the Argentine, Aus tralia, South Africa, Russia and Si- beria. For this purpose numerous pack trains. teams and wagons are re-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-07-22

quired, and many breakdowns and ac- cidents are experienced. On the re- turn trips supplies for the estates are taken.
 But little attempt is made to make homes comfortable or to provide them with modern conyeniences. Where wood is scarce adobe houses are built to give shelter to the farmer, his fam fly and his hands. Of late corrugated iron is being used extensively for this purpose, but in the warm countries In the summer such residences are far from comfortable. Few of these farms provide stables for stock or shelter for implements. Meat, freshly killed, each day forms the principal item on the menu, supplemented by coarse bread, baked in mud ovens. The scarcity of chickens, ducks and other barnyard fowls is noticeable also. One would think that in wheat growing coun- try like the Argentine millions of chickens would be raised by farmers for the purpose of sending eggs to market-for Latin Americans are ex- ceptionally fond of "cackle- -berries't-- yet such is not the case. Millions of -eggsware yearly imported into these lands from Spain, Italy, Morocco and Russia. Strange to relate but little fruit Is raised. This is particularly true of Latin America, which imports berries. fruits and melons from Eu- rope. South Africa and New Zealand,

 | Qs-I see where the Alabama Bar asso- Esatlon advised a new constitution as the tanacea for Alabama's s ills. What is the procedure for obtaining a constitution in |klabama?
 A new constitution must be framed fby constitutional convention and sub omitted to the people of the state for Erau1lcatlon. Alabama lawyers are not NaIone Tn their desire for new constitu- 4tions. Seven states of the union will mold constitutional conventions this lyear. They are: Indiana, Tennessee, Eand Massachusetts. It is notable that lthere are three southern states in the plumber. Here's hoping that Alabama lWill follow her neighbors in the near future.
 The procedure for obtaining consti- ituuonal convention is complex but not lso cumbersome as to thwart the desire PS- IAO NOlSIS. A HldJOTlly OL lIle leSlS- Ilature must vote to submit the question Ito the qualified voters as to whether tthe convention should be called or not. Unlike the requirements in all other Legislation, such a measure does not lcall for the signature of the governor. lit is left entirely to the people to de- tcide. Of the votes cast in the refer
 endum the majority must be in favor
 of the convention before 1t can be lcalled.
 After the election of delegates to the
 convention the new constitution is left entirely in their hands, up to the time fwhen it is submitted to the people for final ratification. The old constitution Ihas no power to regulate the proceed {ings.
 It is harder to get constitutional convention in Alabama than in other states, because the initiative must come from the legislature which meets only once in four years. The legislature will meet next year. It wI. be the oppor- tunity we are awaiting. The time is not too far off to prepare to use it.

Fortune Chewed Up Each Year

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 Loud and long are the complaints of the stringency of the times and the walls concerning the tightness of money; but these laments are not com ing from the manufacturers of chew ing gum. Neither the war nor any oth- CT calamity has affected the output of this great necessity. The annual i'm ports of chewing gum average about 100000 pounds, although in 1913 the average reached nearly 14,000. .00U pounds. Thus it is estimated that $13,- 000,000 are chewed up annually.

in Buffalo went on record in favor of woman suffrage in New York in the coming November election by adopting the report of the resolutions committee. This report declared that while the policy of the conference was to consider only question of administration, never theless, We have carefully considered the matter of woman suffrage because of it's far-reaching effect and beg to re- port that a poll of the mayors shows that of the 47 voting, fl are in favor of woman suffrage.
 The resolution reads as follows:
 Whereas the New York state egis- lature has decreed that the question of the right of women to vote shall be settled by referendum November 6, and,
 Whereas, The women of New York state have, through their suffrage party and other organizations, undertaken war service on the behalf of the nation, and
 "Whereas, Other nations, including our allies, Russia and England, have pledged themselves to the cause of a greater democracy as expressed by woman suffrage,
 Be it therefore resolved, That the state conference of mayors, assembled in Buffalo, do hereby recommend that tEis government profit by the experl- ences of other governments and by STdiiliIlS equal suffrage dNdll llSSll LII the services of it's women as well az of it's men in the full efficiency of citi- zenship.''
 WANTED IN KANSAS: A RECIPE
 FOR GIRL BABIES!
 The report has gone out that in cer- tain school district in far off Kansas there has been no girl baby born in nine years. A happening in an equal suf- 4~tz l. l, f,.1r r+ or a divorce case-is always an argu- ment for or against votes for women. So, of course, this plight of the Kansas school district will come in for it's share.
 By the suffragists the moral will be drawn that votes for women produces high value in girls. By the antis it will be cited as proof that woman in her deepest instincts is so opposed to enter ing the filthy mire of politics that, rather than be forced to do so, she re- fuses to be born at all.
