RAGWEEDS.
(Ambrosia trihda.) J

Ragweeds are indirectly the cause
OF slowed industry. The victims OF
the ragweed each year 60 through
much torture, due to the pollen OF
this huge, coarse plant. The air
cooling system used IN 50 many
of the large buildings has done
much to alleviate the suffering OF
those who are allergic to this pollen,
But the cause of the trouble still
is able to carry on.
RagWeeds, giant. common, peren-
NAL and small, are continuing to
extend their range. The great, or
giant, ragweed is known from Nova
Scotia to Florida, westward to the
Northwest, Nebraska. Colorado and
Arkansas. The other members OF
the tribe either occupy the same
range or establish new territories
Of their own.
Their habitat is in moist, rich
soil OF fields. waste places and road
sides. They are gross feeders,
crowding out valuable crops. The
usual height Is from 1 to 10 feet.

Here are some figures which will
give an idea Of the volume Of the
Nile River. and Of the great mass
Of its yearly fiood:
When the Nile is low, it dis
charges $4,000 gallons Of water
each second. At the high point of
the food, the discharge each Sec
ond is close to 2,50o, 900 gallons
per second!
Those figures were gathered at
Aswan, a small city south of Cairo.
Aswan is the place where 4 huge
dam has been built.
Aswan Dam, as it is called, was
finished in 1902. 1t is more than
5000 feet long. a huge wall Of gran
ite with steel doors. There are
$50 of these doors and they serve
as "sluices."
The dam contains more than .
million tons of granite, about one
sixth as much stone as went into
the Great Pyramid Of Gizeh. To
provide a place for the foundation
of the dam, a trench 100 feet wide
and 100 feet deep was cut in the
bed of the river.
Thanks to the Aswan Dam, the
food waters do not run wild" to
the same extent they did in former
times. They are held back by the
dam and form lake about 120
miles long.
There is no effort, however, to
stop the whole Nile flood. Even the
best dam which could be built would
not do that!
The steel doors are raised at flood
time to allow a large part of the
flood water to flow past. Telephone

Seedtime is from August to No
vember. Birds are very fond Of
the seeds. Cattle steer clear OF
the plant because it has protected
itself with annoying bristly hairs.
Even the leaves are so rough and
hairy, they remain untouched.
The ragweeds have gone far to
insure for themselves prosperity.
The fruit is q quarter Of an inch
or more long. brown, obovoid and
five or six ribbed with a comic beak
at the apex which Is surrounded
by I'VE or six shorter spines. like

are the cause Of much trouble

The harder the Merry Little
Breezes shook the tops OF the nut
trees the harder Striped Chipmunk
laughed, but though they teased
and teased him he wouldn't tell
them what he was laughing at. He
said 1t was just q little secret joke
all his own. So the Merry Little
Breeses shook the trees until they
were tired and sent the brown nuts
rafting down to Farmer Browns
Boy. And the nuts they couldn't
shake loose he knocked down by
throwing sticks. The faster the nuts
ratified the happier Striped Chip
munk grew. and the more his
cousins, Chatterer, the Red Squirrel.
and Happy Jack, the Gray Squirrel,
scolded. They said unkind things
to Striped Chipmunk and they
called Farmer Browns Boy q thief

OF course, they were selfish. There
were ever so many more nuts than
they could possibly use, and yet they
didn't want any one else to have
any. They didn't want their merry

have any, and as for Farmer Browns

less than a great robber. Chatterer
quite forgot that he and Farmer
Browns Boy had become very good

reports are obtained from points
above and below the dam, and
these reports give facts about the
flood. The men in charge of the
dam can Judge from these facts how
many of the doors should be opened.
Besides helping to keep the Nile
floods in check, the dam provides
. fine supply Of water for dry sea-
SONS Thousands of millions Of
gallons are saved in the lake above
the dam, and this water is fed out
In months after the yearly food is

In some ways Egypt is behind the

taken during the present century.
It has added thousands of square

Aswan Dam was planned by Brit

their direction. Other measures
also have been taken to control the
