Jt COUNTRY WITHOUT TUTS
House Flies Unknown--
A Health Resort for
Babies.
It should be refreshing and a
bit encouraging to the fatigued,
hopeless fly-fighters to know
that there is in the world a coun
try in which there are no flies.
The place is the British West
Indies. Dr. B. E. Washburn who
has recently gone to these islands
in the interest of the Internation
al Health Commission and who
has taken up his first work in
Port of Spain, Trinidad, says, in
writing friends in North Caro-i
kna: "You will be interested to
know that there are no house
Ikes here. I did not see any of
these in any of the ten islands on
which we stopped. The people
know nothing of the house fly
and in this way, if in no other,
are singularly blessed." I)r.
Washburn, says further. "To my j
surprise, I find that all of the ,
is.ands, and especially British |
Cuiana, are health resorts for |
babies and are so used by the ,
people from England. It has j
certainly been true in our case, j
too, for the baby has grown very | [
much."
s
This interesting fact that c
there are no flies in British West
Indies—starts up a number of v
questions and curious conject-
ures. Why is it they have no j
hies? Is it that they have lost
the seed? Or is it that they have
n
some active parasite or ammal
Ti
that feeds on /lies, like the South!
American ant-eater, for instance?
Certainly, it is not that they have
rv tilth. They have heal and
n. ~'sture and if rumor has it true,
they have all the filth that is
necessary. With these three
conditions we have more flies
than we can manage, and that
they have more favorable condi
ti as without any flies is what
we do not understand.
A'e are not surprised, however,
to know, since there are no flies'
tlure, that it is a health resort ;
f..r babies. Kngland is fortunate
ir having such a place, but babies
v. :d do well at almost any place
v . cry there are no flies, provid
ed they are properly fed and are
k >t clean.
Av ie Dr. Washburn to do
nothing more for international
he. Ith than find out the cause for
their freedom from flies by
which our fly problem could bo
solved, he would have rendered
a blessing to mankind and his
name would deserve a place along
with Jennet 's and Pasteur's.

How to Make the
Corn Crop Pay
As a result of a number of
years' work, the Mississippi Ex
periment Station has found the
average cost per acre of growing
corn to be $12.50. This includes
no charge for fertilizers, and, as j
the average Southern farmer uses !
fertilizers on his corn crop, it'
may be assumed that the average
per acre cost of production over
the entire South will be in the
| neighborhood of sls. Then since
I the South during the last ten
years has averaged little mere
than fifteen bushels per acre, it
follows that on an average the
corn we have raised has cost us
around a dollar per bushel.
If this has been the average
cost, how about the thousands
and thousands of acres that have :
made less than the average? We
have all seen them —runty, neg-;
lected, weed-infested patches of;
the "little yaller kind" of corn j

used. Of course the fellow who '
farms in this way can better af
ford to buy his corn than raise it; i
but we are inclined to think that 11
such a farmer has missed his I
calling, and that he would be 
better employed working for I
wages at a dollar a day, where 
his employer can do the heavy '
thinking for him. 1
But these facts are not argu- i 1
ments against our raising corn;
rather they indicate that until
we double our present average'
yields we are going to find corn
raising a mighty poor business.
This brings us around to the un
deniable truth that the farmer
who only makes average yields,
whether they be of corn or cot-
ton. is never going to do anything
more than break even, if he be for
tunate enough to get out of debt.
The ten-bushels-of-corn-per-aere
man is generally the man who
averages a third of a bale of cot
; ton, and a lifetime of poverty is
all that such yields can ev.'pi
1 mean.
1 What's the remedy? If we had
ten loads of stable manure to go
on every acre that goes in corn
this year we believe we'd have
an almost certain moans of doubl
ing our corn crop. The trouble j
here is that we haven't the
nure, and the simple truth is that
we can't afford to continue to
buy corn until we have enough,
live stock to produce sufficient!
manure to double our corn yields.
Nor can .commercial fertilizers,
while valuable in their place,
lever alone safely be depended
upon as the most economical
means of doubling our yields of
corn. As supplementary sources
of plant food, particularly as
sources phosphorus and potass

to do without commercial fertiliz
ers; but to use them as a source
of nitrogen for corn is poor
economy.
Our choice then would be a
rank growth of bur or crimson
clover to turn under for every
acre that goes in corn. Here tool
the embarrassing fact bobs up
that we haven't these clovers for
every acre: but we do believe
that they are within easier reach
of the average farmer than the
required amount of stable ma-|
nure.

Some Forms of Rheumatism Curable
Rheumatism is a disease
characterized by pains in the
joints and in the muscles. The
most common forms arc: Acute
and Chronic Rheumatism, Rheu
matic Headaches, Sciatic Rheu
matism and Lumbago. All of
these types can be helped ab
solutely by applying some good
liniment that penetrates. An,
; application of Sloan's Liniment
! two or three times a day to the
affected part will give instant
relief. Sloan's Liniment is gcod
tor pain, and especially Rheuma
tic P«. in, because it penetrates
to the sea' of the trouble, soothes
the afflicted part and draws the i
pain. "Sloan's Liniment is all
