"Owing to the extremely warm ' weather," reads the report, "coyotes v stayed in the rough and brushy places, a which made it necessary to put the t poison bait in and around these places, f It was noted that mice Interfered ma- ? terially by carrying away and eating the poison baits before the coyotes could get to them. "Poisoned grain was used in an effort to kill off the coyotes, but in many 1 cases there was no end to mice comim; 1 Into poison stations."

It is a place ; where dogs are taught to live in a * crowded city. They are taught the ' art of ."heeling," which is to follow 1 closely at the master's heels. They are 1 also tnunht to eat from only one hand ?the hand of the master. Then they learn how to sit in the corner quietly when company comes, how to cross the streets at the proper signal and how not to growl when they see some other dog.

In view of the recent newspaper iscussion of boll rot and the sulhuric acid method of treating cot>n seed, and in order that the farinra may not be confused or inadver>ntly misled by any of these articles, le following conclusions based upoa tore than ten years' study by the outh Carolina Experiment Station re given. The Station's study of anthracnose r boll rot dates back to 1908. The rogresa made has been reported connuously in Station publicnt?ons nee tnsi naic. i ut? iLAiciidiua ice through its "Weekly News otes" has kept the farmers informI as to the practical results obtaind. It may be well at this time to reeat some of the recommendations lready published. The treatment of cotton with conentrated sulphuric acid was first ?sted by ireotor Duggar of the .labaina Experiment Station in 1011. le found that it reduced the infecion, but not enough to control boll ot. Our results agree with his. In 909 we discovered that the anthracose fungus actually penetrates the eed before they are mature and rerains alive within the seed until lanting time the following spring, 'his important discovery that the ungus is carried within the seed was nnounced and fully described in the 908-09 annual report of the Station nd has served as the basis for th n ontrol measures which were developd and which have been published rom time to time. Investigations have been conducted ising different chemicals and gases, lifferent mc.hpds of hocting u;:j rying, etc., continuously up to the resent time. None of the methods ret devised have been effctive for radical use in completely eliminatng the fungus which living in the eed, perpetuates the boll rot. The Station does not recommend he treatment of seed with concenrated sulphuric acid to control boll ot alone. The Station has emphasizd these methods through the pracice of which the disease has been argely eliminated from the state, re. ulting in the saving of millions of lollars to the farmers. Where the areless practice of planting diseasd seed is persisted in, the disease till causes a serious loss. As indiating the present limited extent ot oil rot, we were able in the fall of 920, after diligent search with the elp of the county agents, to locate >nly one field in the state from which ve could rot for use in our laboratory ind obtain seed heavily infected with oil field experiments. In spite of the tv,o? ooPft nr#? hrnueht in to the station every year from all over the tate for planting in our tests, only >nce have we got hold of infected ;etd and at no time during the past hree years has the percent of cotton mils in any field of the Experimer station or College Farm affected with inthracnose boll rot exceeded one jercent Usually no infection ha >een found except in experimental )lots where we purposely planted liseased seed. Any one desiring information as o the concentrated sulphuric acid reatment of cotton seed will find 'till directions in our "Weekly New Cotes" of April 2, 1921.

C. I CANNIBALS IN BELGIAN CONGO Government Has Not Yet Fully Suo? ceeded in Stamping Out |. the Practice. This particular section of the Belgian Congo* through which we were passing hud been closed to white truvi elers for many years because of the rampant cannibalism of the natives. We have been unable to detect any signs of cannibulistic practice In the I umwatte ruled by Kabongo or ilutom: bo Makulu, although trusted carriers still often disappeared overnight from i caravans in these regions and feasts always took place with suspicious seI quence in some village near by. FurI ther on to the north, where the strong ! arm of the white man's law has not yet readied, cannibalism is still in its palmy days, and slaves are fattened for the regular feasts of the year. I Here the government lias not yei mi lowed white men to penetrate. Even in the district through which we were now passing a Belgian trader had been attacked only a few months before. Shortly after leaving the village of a chief?Mpereta?who had received us with extreme cordiality, we came upon a relic of the recent history of the chief and his village. It was a phallic emblem post decorated with the blenched skulls of small children. It had escaped the notice of government troops who have orders to destroy them. At several villages we found the oh sort of Bachokwe natives still avowed ly hostile to all white people, who had given up open cannibalism only when they had to. The people and their chiefs refused to have anything to do with us, although they did not open hostilities. On such occasions we quickly changed our plans as to setting up camp for the night. The trail ahead seemed strangely attractive ,1ust then, even to our tired carriers.?Helen E. Springer in Scrlbner's Magazine. Walking to Walk. For a long time in this country walking attracted less attention than any other outdoor pastime on the , calendar.
