DIRE MENACE TO TRAVELLER
quentIy Fatal to Unobservlng or
Too Careless Hunter.

Although the tropical shrubs Of
Queensland are luxuriant and beauti-
full, they are not without their dan
gerous drawbacks, for there is one
plant among them that is deadly in it's
effects. This is the singing tree. If
q certain portion Of the travellers body
is burned by the singing tree death
will follow.
Sometimes. while shooting turkeys
IN the scrubs have entirely forgotten
the singing tree till warned Of Its
close proximity by its SMELL" said a
visitor to Queensland. II was only
once stung, and that very lightly. Its
effects are curious; it leaves no mark,
but the pain is maddening, and for
months afterward the part when
touched is tender, in rainy weather or
when 1t gets wet In washing.
II have seen q man who treats ordi-
nary pain lightly roll on the ground In
agony after being stung, and I have
known q horse so completely mad,
after getting into grove Of these
trees, that he rushed Open-mouthed at
everyone who approached him and had
to be shot Dogs, when stung, will
rush about whining piteously biting
pieces from the affected part. The
small singing trees, q few inches high,
are as dangerous as any, being hard
to see and seriously impeding ones
ankles"
The singing tree emits peculiar
and disagreeable smell. 1t is best
known, however, by its leaf, which is
nearly round and has point at the
top.

PROCURE OIL FROM BIRDS
Are Especially Favored in Re-
spect of Light.

The price of coal oil is matter Of
no interest to the inhabitants Of the
island of st. Kida, a favOrite haunt
of that animated oil can, the fulmar,
observes the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune. SO rich in oil is this sea
bird that the natives simply pass a
wick through its body and use 1t as Il
lamp.
The oil is also one of the principal
articles exported from the island.
1t is found in the birds stomachs, is
amber colored and has a peculiarly
nauseOus odOr. The old birds are said
to feed the young with 1t, and when
they are caught or attacked they light
en- themselves by disgorging it.
In st. Kilda it is legal to kill the full
mars only during one week in the
year; but during that week from $4,000
to 10000 birds are destroyed.
The mutton bird of the Antarctic
also carries It's oil IN the stomach and
can eject this Oil through the nOstrils
as means Of defense against enc
mics.
Quantities Of mutton birds are
slaughtered every year for their oil on
the coasts of Tasmania and New Zea-
land. In its composition and proper
ties this oil closely resembles sperm
oil

Side Applications to Cotton.
At the time the cotton plant is in
full bloom ample plant food must be
available or else a large percentage
of the squares will shed. While there
are other factors that cause shedding,
for example, lack of a proper amount
of moisture; still, it has been proven
that even with the most favorable
moisture conditions, a lack of plant
food is the potent cause of this
trouble.
Under boil weevil conditions, the
fertilizer used in side applications
should contain a high percentage of
phosphoric acid and a rather low per-
centage of nitrogen. This fertilizer
has the effect of forcing the young
bolls to quick growth and early ma
turity.
Side Applications to Corn.
While it usually pays to make
larger side application of fertilizer for
cotton than for corn, STILL many of
the best farmers in the Southeast
advocate liberal side applications for
corn.
The period of the growth of corn is
much shorter than that of cotton; con-
sequently, there must be present in
the soil large supplies OF available
plant food at the critical period of its
growth. which is from the time it is
waist high to tasselling time,

A strong effort is being made by the
taxdodgers to crippel or destroy the
effective working of the new law for
the equalization of property values
over the state.
1t is mainly beng opposed in covert
and to some degree hidden way.
That is by arousing opposition to
Governor A. Ii. Roberts for second
term. The democratic hordes of tax
dodgers are shouting themselves horse
for a certain East Tennessee Republican
and claiming that he can easily defeat
Gov. Roberts.
Any person or newspaper in the
state that does not support this valua
ton is either taxdodger or is being
controlled by taxdodgers.
1t will not suffice to say the first
proposed law was better and should
have been passed. That is now beyond
discussion. The thing to do is to sup
port this measure now.
