For Heveral years past thlH InHect has been recognized iih a more or loss serious pest to young cotton plantH. The insect Ih known to oc cur throughout South Carolina, but soems to aHtiume the role of an im portant i n sect pent to cotton only in the Coast and near coast countries of the State. In these counties the injury Hoems to he increasing with each succeeding year. The present seanou Iwih been very favorable for the root louHe development and, consequently, the injury to cotton has been unusually severe. The insect Ih easily recognized by its po Hition on the plant- and by being of a hluiHh color, less than 1-H2 of an inch in length. It iK somewhat sim ilar to the ordinary cotton leaf louse which cause the cotton leaves to curl up during <>00!, moist weather. The injury Is occasioned by the small insects sucking the juice from the young tap roots of the cotton, and causing them to die. An infested plant Ih easily recognized by the stunted and willed annoarnf"'" "f t lie rot tage. ~ I ti their activity, the root lice are dependent upon the ants as a means of traveling from j one plant to. another and, conse quently the farmer must look upon t lie ants as enemies instead of their friends. In the spring, as soon as the ants are noticed excavating about young I cot ion plants, begin a system of shal low cultivation as rapidly as possi ble. The infested cotton should he cultivated at least once a week dur ing dry weather and as soon as. the soil will permit after every rain In this way the ants are thor oughly disorganized and must turn their attention to organization in stead of nursing the cotton root lice hence, their progress is greatly re tarded This process should be kept up until the cotton is thorough!} es tablished in t h<? soil and in a thrif ts growing condition Hy far the most satisfactory* way of controlling cotton root louse yet found is hy following carefully planned svstem <d' rotation of at least three sear's duration. This system should l?e planned in such a ssa.s as to prevent com on from fol lowing either cotton or corn, but a crop of small grain and cow peas hay should precede a crop of cotton on had Is infested lands.. The' follow ing three sear rotation system has been used with marked success on 1 ho farm of Judge C. \ Woods at Marion. Corn followed by oajs and cow pea 1 1 a \ . follwedo by cotton the third >ear. This system has been followed on an originally badly in tested field for the past five years and :i> <\ result the root louse inju rs has been reduced ?<> practically nothing. It is of immense value to have a winter cover crop upon the infest ed land at all times as it prevents thi- winter food plants of the cotton root louse from growing upon land This naturally reduces the infesta tion for the following, spring. - So far, repellents against l his in sect have been of little .value as re medial measures. Mi's, Flanders Will Not (Jo To Trial. Savannah, (la.. July 5.- Dr. W. J.

The Uriankhal are a poor, semi-no madic tribe, who have been driven Into the recesses of one of the most dim cuh and remote redone of Aala by stronger advancing horde# of Tartar* aad Siberian Russians. They used to dwell la better land* on the Siberian side, bat now they are all within the Chlneae empire In the peculiar moun tain-locked baa in around the source* of the Yenisei The existence of these people In this region 1a peculiar, says the Wide World Maiadne Long, long ago there there was a race of people who In habited the bank* of the Yenisei In Hl beria, who tilled the soil and worked metals. They made atone Implements until they learned how to make b route ones, and later they attained to the knowledge of Iron. They covered the land with gigantic gravel- mounds, the burial-places of their chiefs; they drew pictures on the rocks, and wrote their strange picture language, thereby giv ing ub a clew to their identity and helping us to know something about them. Hordes of men from the south, how ever, drove them out of this good land, and they retreated to the far north, where they still exist. They live there In a bleak land of tundra, within the Arctic circle, and are called Bamoyeda ? primitive people who have returned almost to the status of the atone age. Hut a portion of the tribe remained for a time, and gradually retreated far ther Into the Inaccessible forests to the south and east, where we now find the remnant In the remote cor ners of the Upper Yenisei basin. These are the Url&nkhal, the forest dweller* ? or, aa tome call them, "the wild Urtankut." Outside food, birch bark and reindeer ekln are their sole necessities. Theirs Is indeed the sim ple life! CAUSE OF CHILD'S MISTRUST Many Mothers Fall to Give Bsbee Sat isfactory Answer When Ques tioned About Command, The obedience of children la often made difficult by parental uncertainty, says the Indies Home Journal. It Is sometimes forgotten that obedience 1b a virtue f*r which the co-operation of two peraunH In "Sssentlai ; one tcT give the orders, the other tq carry them out. The Initial condition is a Judicious, firm and well considered giving of orders. Nothing i9 so de moralizing to workmen or soldiers as a sorles of hasty, unadvised and con tradictory commands. With all tho willingness In tho world the sense of distrust which is thus awakened sug gests disobedience. The trouble with many children who seem not to know how to obey is that their parents do not know bow to command. The orders are given has tliy and changed readily on petition. Even an unwillingness to obey is made sufficient reason for withdraw ing tho injunction Some of the dis cipline of young children in as fool ish as the mother who says In an swer to the question "Why?" "Be cause! And you know, .Johnny, that when mother says 'Because' she al ways means 'Itecause!'" The child quickly perceives that the parental discipline has no more sense in it than that. Tho disobedience which ensues Is a fair expression of distrust. Obe dience begins with respect. Hut re spect is forfeited when It is made plain that tho commands are not intel ligently given. Who Is Responsible? Qlady's had been naughty, ?o naugh ty, in fact, that her mother was forced to have recourse to the time honored and only effective remedy In such cases. This operation being successfully but painfully completed, the little girl sank into her mother s lap disconso lately. "Mamma," she sobbed, "did gran'ma spank you when you was small?" "Yes, dear; when I was naughty." "Ohl" A minute's pause, then: "And did her mother," continued Gladys, "spank her?" "Year, dear." "And was she spanked, too, when she was naughty?" "Yes." Gladys gave a sigh of despair. "Then who did start the silly cus tom." ? Answers, London. Primrose for Memory. The primrose of old was credited w 1th a medicinal as well as a super stitious value. Even now in some country parts a decoction of primrose leaves is supposed to restore a falling memory, and In 1G54, when Culpeper wrote hlB I^ondon Dispensatory, the primrose was regarded as an almost universal panacea, curing "con-vul sions. falling sickness, palsies, etc.," and strengthening "the brain, sonses and memory exceedingly." And even the healthy did not disdain to eat it. for primrose pastry was once a popular l^ancashlre delicacy. ? London Chronicle Architectural Nondescripts.
