PILOT FISH BETRAYS TRUST
OF COMPANIONABLE SHARK

In olden times people believed that
the pilot fish used to guide and pro-
tect ships.
The fish would swim before the ship
when all was well, but would disap-
pear, they said, if rocks or land were
near, so as to warn sailors.
1t is a fact that the pilotfish swims
with ships and sharks, but it is not
with any intent to guide or protect.
When swimming with a shark the
pilotfish keeps just ahead, and if he
finds food, washes about and flops his
tail on top of the water to attract the
sharks attention.
Then, when the great fish comes
up, he shares the meal with it. But
often when sailors throw a baited
hook over the side of their ship the
pilotfish betrays the shark and leads
it to the baited hook.

to bring suit in each county through

The commission suggests that the
gasoline tax be boosted through an
amendment to the existing law and
that total revenue from this source
be devoted to maintenance and con-
struction of roads in the state, the
funds to be apportioned among the
founteen counties and the state. Such
a tax would be easily collected, the
report maintains, and would place a
portion of road maintenance cost up
on tourists using the state roads.
The report will be turned over by
the governor to the sixth state legis-
lature which convenes in January.

They are carefully protected by

tain lions of the game preserve north
of the Grand Canyon bury the uneat-
en- portion of the deer But observa-
tion has shown that they rarely re-
turn to it. Deer are so plentiful that
when the lion is hungry again, it
finds it easier to make a new kill
This condition has made the use of
poison bait on the kill of the lions, a
fruitless method for their extermina-
ton.
Fortunately, the hunting by pri-
vate parties of predatory animals,
which is permitted on the preserve,
and the efforts of the federal pre-
datory animal exterminators, have
been very successful, and the num-
ber of lions is being held down to
small number These hunters use
dogs to trail and tree the lions, when
they are shot from the trees.

Contrary to the generally accepted
opinion of the best and safest time
to drive, Baker says that night offers
him the best opportunities to cover

traffic is the lightest and he can see
other cars coming by watching for
lights around corners and at cross
roads.
Baker has driven at the Indianapo-
lis 500 mile sweepstakes race but he
contends that he would rather drive
cross country runs than in regular
road races, the danger being less. He
says that at Indianapolis you can al
ways tell what you are going to do
but the dangerous part of the driving
is not the speed but rather the ques-
ton OF what the "other fellow is going

SWARMSING OF BEES WILL
DECREASE HONEY YIELD

Brooking, S. ID. July l2- Bee
keepers who are looking for large
yields of honey should not allow
their colonies to swarm" advises
Roy M. Gilcreast, assistant profess
sor in dairy husbandry and apicul-
ture at State College.
Zone of the prime requisites for
large yields of honey is a large
number of bees in each colony
When the colony swarms, the num-
ber of bees is reduced by one.half.
or sometimes more AS a result
neither the old colony or the new
is strong enough to store a large
surplus in honey. One strong col
ony is worth several new ones
when surplus of honey is wanted.
"Swarming is the bees natural
method of reproduction, and, as it
is deep-seated instinct, it cannot
be entirely prevented. But if the
prOped precautions are taken, the
number of swarms can be greatly
reduced. SwarmiSng usually oc-
ours about the beginning of the
honey flow and is brought abou,
by conditions which cause the bees
to become dissatisfied with Their
old home. One Of the most com
mon causes of swarming is tbs
crowded condition of the brood
nest. When the queen bee has to
stop laying because she has no
more room she becomes dissatisfied
swarming takes place. The crowd
ed brood nest may be caused by
too many bees in the hive or by
the bees storing honey in the broou
nest In either case, more room
should be provided. Put on super
so it will not be necessary for the
bees to store honeyin the brood
nest. These should be put on be-
fore the main honey flow begins
as it is much easier to prevent the
bees from getting the swarnlinp
fever" than it is to cure them af-
ter they once get the habit
"Also, see that some shade is pro
vided during hot weather. If the
hives are not naturally shaded
place wide board over the top
Of the hive so that one end cx
tends over and shades the hive en-
trance"

WESTERN ALFALFA GROWERS
WATCHING THE GRASSHOPPER

The alfalfa seed growers in the
western part of the state are keep
ing their eyes open for young
grasshoppers these days, according
to A. l.. Ford, extension entomOlo-
gist at State college. They are
very much interested in these lit
tie fellows because their abundance
denotes whether or not they will
be able to produce seed crop
without poisoning.
In some places, where the hop
pers have been bad during the past
several years, the seed growers
are smiling, for there are hut few
hoppers. In other places, the gro
wers are worried because the young
hoppers are very thick, which
means that they must put poisoned
bran mash again this year.
Plans have already been laid for
poisoning campaigns in most of
the Black Hills counties. Consid-
cradle trouble is being experienced
this year in obtaining arsenic,
which is the poison used in bran
mash. If it is impossible to secure
enough of this material, expert
ments will he conducted in an at
tempt to find substitute. This is
very important as the alfalfa seed
crop is at stake in several places.

HOW TO USE VACATION FOR
CHILDREN

The chief business of the child
for the first twelve or fourteen
years of his life should be to grow
strong physically. During the SCH
ool term of eight of nine months
he is usually living in more or
less unnatural way, sitting still for
longer periods than he should, fol-
lowing out processes of logically
arranged thought, and much too
often doing things in which he has
little real interest. His natural
growth, physical and in many cos
es mental, is more or less interferr-
ed with.
Vacation time gives a good chan
ce to overcome some Of the draw
backs of our schools. Three mon
tbs long hours in the fresh air
and sunshine, tramping, swimming,
hunting, fishing, and -'---:.,c. a
moderate amount of physical labor
for which the child is held respon-
sible plenty of plain wholesome
food, sleeping out of doors, and he
will return to his school in Septem-
Der with Drowned body, alert mind
and fund of information that the
school could not possibly give him.
His interests will be widened, his
muscles and mind strengthened,
and he will have learned how to
use his leisure time.

SWEETS ATTRACT ANTS
INTO HOMES IN SUMMER

Brookings, S. d., July PA de-
cided preference for sweet foods
such as sugar sirups, molasses, jel-
lies, jams marmalades, cOnserves,
honey, candies, sweet fruits, cakes
pies, etc. is shown by the fou
species of ants which frequently
make summer invasions of dwell
ings or stores in South Dakota.
These four species are commonly
known as the tiny thief ants, little
black ants, little red house ants,
and little brown field ants.
The little red house ant nests in
side of heated buildings, such as
homes, stores. greenhouses ETC.,
and is much more Of a pest than
any other species. The tiny thief
ant has been found to nest in
buildings occasionally. The other
two species nest outdoors but en-
ter buildings as visitants in search
Of food
Many measures have been recon-
mended by entomologists for the
eradication of house ants but none
are more effective than the use of
certain poisoned sirups known as
bats and the carbon bisulphid
treatment.
An excellent bait which rcpel
ants may be made by thoroughly
stirring three grains of sodium ar
senite into third Of a pint of
Karo or any other sirup. With this
bait it has been demonstrated that
all ant visitants can be driven
away from the houses in a few
hours. However. the ant colonies
are not killed with this bait and
consequently reinfestation Of the
house may take place. The bal,
should be placed in such situations
as are readily accessible to the ants
and may be poured into fat recep'
tacles such as covers of cans.
