At tire monthly meeting of the
City Federation in the city hall
Monday morning the selection of a
matron for the Rest Room was re-
ferred to the executive committee
which meets wfr> the rural life
committee at 9oclock Thursday
morning in the municipal building
council room. Other busmess con-
sisted of the report of the civic
improvement committee, made by
the chairman. Mrs. Ji. J. Turren-
tine. in which she outlined plans
for planting the local shrub, crepe
myrtle, and tree, the pecan, select-
ed by civic organizations. She urg-
ed that immediate attention be
given py associations and by indi-
viduals to tills planting early in the
season.
The federation passed resolutions
to foster the better observance of
the prohibition law, and plans will
be formed to that end
Because of the death of Mrs. E.
D. McNiel. mother of Mrs, C. C.
Yancey, who is a member of the
executive board, only l*iportant
business was transacted, and reso-
lutions of sympathy for her were
adopted, and the meeting closed
with silent prayer.
Mrs Carrou x. v>»rrlson was
hostess to the Luncheon Club at
her home Friday al one o'clock m
one of the most cla|>oiate affairs
of tlye season when she entertained
with A Christmas buffet luncheon.

each egg is equipped with polar fll
aments that become entangled with
the “fur’’ of young leaf hairs. As
the leaf grows and the hairs be-
come spread apart, the eggs become
sufficiently scattered to keep the
grasshopper from getting more than
two or three eggs during the entire
feeding season.
The contents of a grasshopper's
alimentary canal are eliminated
approximately once every hour. Tn
that tuns the hairworm larvae
must work from the egg into the
cavities of the victims body, there
to thrive on the food it has di-
gested Again nature is prepared
The equatorial region of the nema
egg is composed a substance
soluable in less than an hour.
Environment Determines Hex
An even more astounding circum-
stance leading scientists to believe
environment may be responsible
for determination of sex, enters na-
ture' s colorful scheme. Female
hairworms, growing from half an
inch to xix inches in length in
six weeks, usually are many times
larger than male nemas. Whether
it is because of limited room to de-
velop in the grasshopper’s body or
because of insufficient food supply,
the hairworms, regardless of the
sex pm[x©sity in the larvae, always
become male when a large number
of eggs are swallowed and as tn-
variahh are females when the num-
ber is limited.
In every case. Dr. Cobb says, a
parasitized grasshopper immedi-
ately becomes sterile. Tests have
shown that fields attacked by ne-
matized grasshoppers are free of
the pests tn following years or un-
til uninfexted grasshoppers from
adjacent territory invade them.
That, he says, explains "grasshop-
per waves" in thiA country .
WRECKING PLOT SUSPECTED
PITTSBURGH. Deo 12 —Rail-

reports which tend to indicate that
a wrecking plot may have caused
the crash of the Detroit Limited

here last night. One mt<n was kill-
ed and six were injured
Early reports of railroad officials
indicate that a rail had been loos-
ened on the curve where three
reaches and the locomotive of the
west bound flyer left the track.

"Farmers are efficient," Brand
declare*, "but the lack of prosper-
ity on our farms ha* stood in the
way of a more efficient agriculture.
Our problem 1* not to grow a great-
er aggregate quantity of farm pro-
ducts, but to grow the same amount
at a smaller cost per unit of pro-
duction. We must grow fewer acres
with greater profit.”
Brand points to several measur-
ing sticks of rural efficiency.
“In 1880 less than 20 crop acret,
per farm workers were utilized,
whereas the average farm worker
now culticates 33 acres In 1900 it
was considered a fine performance
if a sow raised a litter of five or
six pigs tiiat would attain a weight
of 200 or 225 pounds at eight
month* or approximately 1.200
pounds per litter Now one-ton lit-,
tens are common and in many con-
tests ton and a half and two-ton
littlcrs have been raised in six
months.
"Hens used to produce 150 eggs
Now many individuals
produce more than 300 in a year,
and whole flocks average more than
200.
"Since 1890 farmers have in-
creased their yields of wheat by
17 per cent, oats by 14 per cent,
and potatoes by 39 per cent. Pro-
duction of grain per man per acre
increased from 12,000 pounds
1870 to 25,000 pounds in 1925 ”

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—An
elaborate process so intricate that
nature alone can guide it to perfec-
tion, is credited for the survival
of American agriculture.
Tile tremendous scheme, reveal-
ed by Dr. N A Cobb, federal chief
nematologist. is built around the
subtle function of the Mermw sub-
nigrescens, commonly called the
hairworm. Years of study and in-
vestigation have convinced Dr.
Cobb and his associates, whose work
has been assisted by approximate-
ly 150 of the nation’s foremost zo-
ologists and entomologists. that
grasshoppers. in limitless horde*
and a thousand species, would de-
vour practically every farm crop
but for hairworm parasitization.
An avaricoius enemy, the nema
enters the grasshopper’s body when
it swallow’s eggs of the hairworm,
matures there, and bores Its way
out Tile grasshopper dies from the
wound
Nature has perfectly correlated
every detail. The nematizing pro-
cess is as ruthless and deliberate as
premeditated murder. Instinct
forces the grasshopper to feed
several inches from the ground, on
the exixised surface of plant leaves.
To make sure the victim Ls trapped?
the female hairworm Is so consti-
tuted that she cannot lay eggs in
a shadow Emerging from the
ground in the spring, she ascends
to a position well lighted by the
sun, irrevocably the spot on which
grasshoppers feed.
Feed Regulated
An overdose of eggs would cause
premature death for the grasshop-
per It must live until the nema-
tode lias reached an adult stage,
and nature makes It her business
