TOADS ARE VALUABLE

That toads are of economic value.
particularly to the gardener. is the
assertion Of DIR. j. +. Ackert.
1t has been estimated that one toad
is worth sl9.44 in a single season be-
cause of the cutworms II devours." said
Doctor Ackert. Approx imatcly SIS per
cent of the food of the toad consists
of garden pests.
The toad is nocturnal in habit. COM
ing out in the dusk TO search for food
which consists mostly OF insects and
their larvae. During the day II sleeps
in its burrow, made by backing into
the soft earth or dense vegetation.
Toads arc of special value. since
they are accustomed to live in gar
dens where insects are most injurious.
In some sections OF the United States
the gardeners even buy them - aid
in keeping obnoxious insects under
control
The popular belief that toads are
poisonous is erroneous. They possess
rough, warty skin. which, however,
does rot cause the formation Of warts
upon the hands of those who handle
them. as is often supposed.

months. moderate rise early in the
week was followed by wide declines,
which. in turn. were SUCCEEDED by
wide recoveries. The net change for
the week was a loss Of only hfty-ive
to sixty-fve points.
on the opening Of the week the mar
ket was up about fifty points on e1-
pectations of bullish bureau reports
on condition and acreage. These re-
ports were not as hullish as expected.
and were followed by decline which
carried active months 80 to 225 points
under tho last prices of the preceding
week. Much of the selling was slim
ulated by fear Of legislation against
cotton and the efforts by England to
induce joint regulation OF the market
by England and the United States.
Much liuuidation came out. and. with
it. considerable short selling. Toward
the end Of the week the market acted
oversold. and came back strongly to
within less than Il cent OF the previous
weeks close.
While the bureau reports acted
against values. bullish traders claimed
the condition Of 7o.3 per cent of the

record for that date. on top Of de-
crease Of 4 per cent In acreage, could
