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.

"Kveryone who has been interest

atui it was not a surprise to me.
All 1 want is for the truth to be un

when the truth i> unearthed 1 will
be acquitted. "

TRIBE LEADS PECULIAR LIFE
Urlsnkhal at One Time Dwelled In Si
beria, but Have Been Drive* to
China by Ruuiani.
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
