LOANS ON lidea; that a snake may swallow its young to protect them from danger and release them afterward. _ A person may easily be startled into “seeing things” wbiich are not really true. Remotely possible, but I do not believe it. That the call of the “Raincrow” indicates rain. Not known to have any bearing. The “Raincrow” (yel low-billed Cuckoo) is recorded from early May to late September, the season for sudden showers or thunderstorms. Snake oil as a Hniment. Any oil may have a soothing effect, chicken grease, lard, melted fat, etc should be equally good. Call of the Screech Owl indicates death. All owls are nocturnal and night is the natural time for them to call (“song” to them). Screech Owl comes nearer to houses, pre sumably for mice, and not because of death or sickness.

Opossum does have some an atomical and biological .peculiarities which have given rise to false ideas, but they mate similarly to other animals.

Counts Control of the Mexican bean beetle by dusting with Rotenone. This is preferable because of little harm done to bean vines and also the fact that it is a non-poisonous insecticide. Let it not be said that any one who has a garden spot has not plant ed vegetables for Victory. It is not too late to plant the following: okra, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, corn, cow- peas, and peanuts. Practically all of the above require little or no spray ing and are very resistant to disease and insects. Some people like to mulch tomato plants with straw, leaves, or litter to conserve moisture and give a longer fruiting season. Deep planted to- company has found any connection in their extensive trade with trap pers. Kill beef animals at certain stage of the moon. Large packing houses slaughter every day, the year round. With millions of dollars invested, wouldn’t you expect them to find it out if it were true? Bad luck from a black cat crossing the road in front of you. Oh-hum—Scat! mato plants wil stand the drought much better. It is time now to plant tomato seed for a late crop of to. matoes. There is nothing better for garden crops than constant cultiva tion.

Mix bait with corn meal and calcium arsenate and scatter by hand lightly over the foliage, pro portions 9 pounds meal to 1 pound calcium arsenate.

This summer, especially, will be a critical time for pas senger travel on the Southern. Our services ana la-ii- ities will be strained to the limit. Our regular trains and our stations are bound to be crowded as never before.
