Insects That Help Mankind.

One of the great sources Of loss in
wheat growing has been due to the
injurious activities of the wheat-midge,
which feeds on the grain, and, if I'M
molested by its natural insect enemies,
would soon reduce our wheat crops to
the vanishing point. But several of
our friendly insects keep the nudge
in restraint, one being the ravenous
two-wlnged flies which seize and carry
away the nudge, and suck OFT its
juices. Its most powerful foe, how
ever, Is the parasite that lives on the
midge-a small, black fly, somewhat
resembling the ant. The young of these
four-winged flies live on the larvae
and eggs of the nudge. AS the nudge
increases in number, these parasites
also increase, for they depend Tor
living on the nudge, and the more
midges there are the more parasites
there are on hand to eat them up.

From Lieutenant
Carroll S~wetenburg
HAPPY IN FRANCE, THOUGH HE
WANTS CANDY CIGARETTES
AND PAPERS FROM OLD
ABBEVILLE-IN UNTIL
THE FINISH.

Lieut.. Carol Swetenburg, who
was among the first of the Abbeville
boys to 60 overseas, has written his
home people two or three bright,
cheerful letters. In a letter written
on May 10th, he says:
"This is n nice day in May,
which reminds me of a pretty Sun
day in April over there. We are
lucky enough to get a few hours to-
day and, of course, Jul thoughts
wander back home, and we wonder
what you are doing back there. We
know you are thinking Of US also.
There is not much news that we
can write. Every thing has to be
censored. I know you have received
my first letter but I am sorry to say
I have not heard from you yet.
am expecting a letter the latter
part of the week.
We are kept pretty busy. We
never think how we are, so long as
we can move an inch and as l am
still going and going all the time
I guess I am all right. So don't
worry but just write and send me
a piece of candy once in a while
My cigarettes are out and as the
ones 1 asked you for have not
come, / guess I will just quit.
We are living a real soldiers life
these days and every one seems to
be getting fat so you see it is a
great life.
Have not seen anyone here yet
from home except some negroes
when I first landed, / do not know
where the other boys are, or what
regiment they r in.
I guess I should be able to write
a book about this country, but ev.
erything in the country is connected
with military information. The wal
has been going on so long and ii
seems now that it will last until
we are able to finish it.
! All of you write some time ane
remember I am thinking of you all
all the time. Don't worry about
me.
. Send me the papers. / have mo-
seen one in so long, I would moi
know how n looks.
With love,
Carroll. =

OF HUBERT TOO.

News from our boys who have
gone overseas and have definitely
embarked on their great adventure,

Hubert Cox has written his mother

young mar and of his family will

My Dearest Mamma:
1 am just going to write a note
now and when we land I will write
a long letter. The censorship is so
stringent until it makes news a very
scarce. article. Our trip so far has
not been a very pleasant one. We
have been in an ocean gale for the
last three or four. days. l think
every soldier or the ship has been
sick. I never was so sick in all my
life as I was the other day but
feel a good deal better now.
This good old boat has geen rock
ing some . I was back in the kitchen
the other day and saw a fifty gallon
pot of tea jump off of the stove. So
you can easily imagine just how
rough the sea has been. 1t has been
9 rather hard matter to get any
thing cooked, or rather it was dur
ing the gale. I saw soldiers pay
ten cents apiece for nabiscos. AT
home they sell for fifteen cents a
box. One of the boys came to me
and asked me did I have anything
to eat. l sold him a al of pork
and beans for twenty-five cents and
thought I was getting a very good
price for it. Before he had gotten
out of my sight he vas offered five

boys are on this ship. I think most
of them are doing very we'll aside
from all being a little sea sick.

of this kind for a few days, it may
help his appetite and you could
Hooverize a little and too, it would
get him in practice, for to hear he
and Mr.. Clary talk it wasn't much
use to send Forrest and myself for
they would finally have to come and
settle things any way. A little ad-
vice from Chas. A. Jr., is to stick
to the old ride to Atlanta and back
and keep away from "any chow"
There's always something 70 do,
when we are not busy the Y. M. c.
A.. has some kind of entertainment
and the weeks fly by.
May 26th, 1918.
The feed in this army life does
fairly we'll, so I'm getting along all
right and as to health, I am really
better than when in civilian life. l
wish you could see me in my, "fa-
tique suit" (soiled hands and face)
at chow some of these evenings.
1t don't get dark until nine-thirty
these nights. 1t seems funny to
think that when we are going to
bed you all are just about finishing
dinner, about six hours difference in
the time.
My last home letters only took
twenty-four days to come. l have
not seen a Press and Banner this
week but guess I'll get some copies
soon.
You write that since you didn't
know where I was you would think
of me as being in Paris. Well, since
the Cannon Monstre" has been fir
ing on that city for nearly a month,
guess you will be glad to know that
I'm not in Paris and as yet haven't
even been to see the city.

April 4th, 1918.
Dear Mother:
I am still in the hospital but get
ting on nicely, so don't worry or
think that Pm very sick. I guess
my transportation will be arranged
soon and I'll be sent back to my
squadron. I've had something like
grip, but am not very sick. I've also
had a good bed for the past week
and since they seem to be rather
scarce in the army I expect I'll hate
to leave, then you know the nurses
have been rather nice too. I'll be
glad to get back to the old squadron
though.
We certainly are having some fine
weather, it rains often but is sure
fine when the sun shines. I expect
I'll be getting my trunk out soon
and be digging down for my old
Palm Beach suit. If it is not the
latest cut Uncle Sam will have it
altered.
I would like to visit old Abbeville
now, or just ever read The Press
and Banner, so give Mr.. Greene my
address and tell him to send it
along. The news will be old when
1 get it, but it will from the U. S.
A.. and Abbeville.
April II, 1918.
Forrest Clary is still here, so we
have seen the city together and it
certainly has been pleasant to loaf
with someone from your own home
town.
I get to see more of France and
the French people every day and
its all very. interesting. 1 wish
Papa could come over here and see
some French railroading. 1t would
be interesting and helpful. They
have good roadbeds md tracks but
the cars and locomotives are certain
ly old types-are between one
fourth and one half the size of Am
erican types. When it comes to
switching they have the U. S. beat
all right. They have rails on a plat
form mounted on wheels and rails
so that it can be pushed from one
track to another or even clear
across the yard, similar to our turn
tables. So you see the cars can be
placed on the platform and pushed
to any track desired without so
much changing switches. These cars
are so small they can be pushed by
man-power and often they use a
horse to pull them.
May 18th, 1918.
I am glad to get back to the old
4s5th, and I've been working (easy)
for most ten days. I am still get
ting on fine and getting as much to
eat as a soldier could expect.
Tell Aunt May not to worry, as
1 never forget to put on my rain
coat before going to bed. Some of
these barracks leak a little like a
sieve) and this is some country for
rain. They call it Sunny France,
but it rains every day. I am just
teasing about my coat but this is
certainly a damp country during
the spring. We can get plenty of
tin or tar paper roofing to cover our
barracks, so if I haven't energy
enough to cover over my bunk, then
it would serve me right to get a lit
tie sprinkle. You can bet my bunk
is covered q never was lazy.) We
have double deck hunks and sleep
in the top one, so you see the fell
low under me had little to worry, it
was up to me. I couldn't stand for
the rain to soak through my straw
mattress and blanket just to get
him. You might try Papa; on a bunk
