Alleged Discrimination To Be
Given Hearing

n. D DRAINAGE
AND, POOR SOILS
ARE DISCUSSED
These Two Subjects Are Talked
By Members of State Aca-
denny of Science

Fargo, N. D., May 6.-Practically q
fifth Of North Dakota is without def
mite drainage into any river, Elwyn F.
Chandler professor Of civil engineer
ing at the University Of North Dakota
told members of the State Academy
of Science here today. This amount
of territory, which totals little less
than 1900 square miles, drains into
lakes, ponds and alkaii pools and evap
crates. In some places the land is SO
level that only the most accurate sur.
veying would indicate which way the
waters would run and which drainage
system of the state would finally re-
ceive any surplus should the rainfall
in North Dakota reach a stage where
the lakes and pools would be filled to
capacity and seek an outlet.
North Dakota, according to Prof.
Chandler divides its drainage waters
almost equally between the Gulf OF
Mexico and Hudson Bay. The state
as whole has about 10000 square
miles of territory. For the purposes
of the present statistics, every one OF
these square miles has been turned
into one or the other of the drainage
territories of the different streams.
OF the total, 81 per cent, or S9,94O
drain into the Gulf Of Mexico by way
Of the Missouri and the Mississippi.
The Hudson bay received the waters
from about 30,760 square miles.
Good for Grazing, Forestration.
There are some soils in the state SO
poor that they can only Ibe used for
grazing or for growing forests, said
III. L. Walster, of the agricultural col
lege, and the sooner these are definite
ly mapped out and their limitations
learned, the better it will be indicated.
Mr.. Walster spoke Of the soils OF
McHenry county. He said that there
are three families of soils there which
should be used only for grazing and
forestration. They. are the Sioux soils,
the Valentine sand and fine sand soils
and the Dune sands. The Dune sands
are very much subject OF drifting and
the Valentine soils also drift in a les
ser degree. All three families are es-
pecially "drouthy'' and unfit for cult
walton when they are underlaid by
gravel.

POULTRY SANITATION
VERY IMPORTANT

Clemson College, S. c., June g.
Most of our poultry diseases are
brought about by unsanitary con-
ditions in the poultry yards, poultry
houses, and feeding utensils. Recent
ly examination and thorough study
was made on some poultry farms in
Florence County, where there had
been an outbreak of a disease, re-
sulting in heavy mortality, says N.
r. Mehrhof, Extension Poultry Spe-
cialist, who reports that upon exami-
nation of the birds tape worms,
round worms, and coccidia were
found, and that upon studying the
conditions under which the chicks
were living it was found that they
were housed in unsanitary houses,
the yards were unsanitary, and the
feeding hoppers were dirty.
What does sanitation mean? 1t
means clean sanitary houses; houses
chat are dry, properly ventilated
plenty of sunshine; clean yards, that
are planted in some good green
crop; clean birds; clean feeding
and water hoppers; clean feed. If
we do not have the above we cannot
make a success in poultry.
There is no one phase the poul-
try industry that is neglected as
much as this. We cannot expect to
get results if our poultry does not
have the proper environment. SAM
tation means better poultry and more
profit.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1922-06-07

that the bodies were a sort of root,
whereupon the laborers cannibalisti-
cally devoured them. Hearn unearth-
ed Creole legend that these bodies
were man-root that made it's appear
ance once each century in the swamps
Then he wrote the story.
But matter-of-factness soon stepped
in with anothsr version Of the episode.
The man-root of the story was the
root of a cypress that a laborer un-
Willingly and Enthusiastically skinned
with his grubbing hoe, so that under
the blood-curdling spell of the swamps
to the laborer the cypress root took
on the appearance of Il human body.
The man-roct story, however, will
always live.
Swamp literature of cypress is no
thing if not hidcous. You learn q
good deal about snakes, for cypress
brakes are alive with deadly serpents
--rattlesnakes and moccasins, and
other varieties. These reptiles have
been the basis for many Negro tales
that writer's of earlier years delighted
in putting on paper. For instance,
there is the "horn snake" According
to these tales, this serpent grows to
immense size. At the end of it's tail
!
strikes man, beast and vegetation,
even grown trees, with the horn, and
whatever is struck Immediately with
ers and dies. Old Negroes believe
that all of the dead trees in cypress
brake have been struck with the horn
Of this snake. But common sense
steps in and insists that the "horn
snake" is really very harmless rep
tile. Its average length is from two
feet to two feet and half. Its back
is dark brown or bronze color, while
its underside is striped with red, like
the belly of red-banded water
snake. The body is fairly slender,
and the tail ends in sharply pointed
singer, or horn, dark and very hard.
Other swamp literature of cypress
deals with untamcd runaway slaves
who found refuge in the cypress
brakes. In this literature are the
vivid descriptions of voodoo festivals
with the great snake Of voodooism
always present.
A reason for the mystery about cy-
press is the form Of it's growth. 1t
has swollen base. It's roots are al
ways under water, so they send up
protuberances above the water, which
are called "knees." The deeper the
"HCCI JHc HlSHcI GIC CIlc kllcSS.
Consequently, a cypress brake has
curious appearance, for the "knees"
are of all sizes and heights above the
water. The theory Is that the tree
"breathes" through it's "knees," or, in
other words, that it's roots are aerated
through these protuberances. In the
history of bee culture you find the de-
tails Of the use of cypress "knees,"
which are hollow, by the Negroes as
bee hives. Then the "Old Family
Doctor Books" tell of resin from the
bark and cones Of cypress and it's
"knees" that is the foundation of an
excellent salve.
Turning back to ancient times, cy-
press was sacred to the Greeks. In
their mythology it is said that Apollo
loved beautiful youth named Cypar-
issus. The latter was changed into a
cypress tree that he might mourn for
