This same party. after orderlrm his fertlllzer. had his sotl analysed and found that it. called for 300 lbs. less Super Phosphate. 100 lbs. moe potash, and 100 lbs. more ult- rate of Soda than that whlch was originally intended for use. ‘The result of thls balanced fertilizer, ln addition to the fertilizer already in the soll, has given hlm a crop which. up no the present tune. has not been equalled on his fann. Consequently, the questlon arises as to the amount of the loss brought about by pmmlscuously us- ing fertilizer on land without. knowing just what. elements are required tn the soll.

In the Old Testa- ment. we have a llst. of living creatures that were declared by 1111- Law of Moses "clean" or flt tor food, and also a llst of llvlng et-catttres. declared "unclean" or unlit for food. Of insects we read '11 "nll Insects that. have legs "e thelr feet are clean nnd flt. food“ and the grasshopper ts lteularly- mentloned as being C.l‘{\ll. Now we come to the New Testa- ment, where. tn tug account. glven ol John the Baptist. we read that. "his food was locust. and wlld honey“. I well remember many __ve1:rs ago hearing a mlnlsfer say- ing ln the course of hls sermon that _ the locust that. John the littpttst ate was a kind of bean and not the insect. known by that name. This was certainly untrue. The locust that. John the Baptist. ate was the locust. of the plagues of Egypt. the locust that. now ls lcuntLall over Altlcxand the so- ealled grasshopper of Western Can- adn. David Llvittgstotie ln nls book titrtltes mention of hls eating locust. nnd wild honey and declnrlng ft. to b1- a very wholesome and twat-uln- 11-1: food. All the natlves of Africa cat lnrtist and mostly all travellers 1:: Africa have par-taken 11f them. I myself have for long periods, 11111111: no other food was lwatlable. as ts the case ln many ' arts of Aft-lea. lived utmost exclus vely on lne-‘st and Wild honey. In pre arlntz them for food, the (11111 an wings ‘are broken off. 't"1:r~n they are roasted on the hot ejnls t tused to roast. them ln a Irylnc pan wlm peanut. oll, which there ls an abundarce ln Afrlca. 1n this manner they taste something like shrimps. The body ol the locust ls about two and one quarter inches tn length. It ls about.) three inches to the tlps of the wings. It ls very strong on the wing. but. cannot alter its course in the alr. It can fly for long distances ln one d1:- ectlon. but. 1t must allght before changing its course. In Africa, locusts revel from the east to- wards the west. I have never known them to fl in any other dlrectlon. A cloud o locusts extends from the surface of the earth to n helglln, of about, one hundred yar . The sometimes extend to a length o ten mlles and to a depth of flve miles or more. They fly so closely packed that they obscure the day and the sun van- not. be seen through them. They eat all vegetable matter as they go and when they have passed. there ls nothing left. neltner leaf nor blade of grass. The appetite of these insects ls truly voracious. They will devour articles of cloth- ing and even leather. They passed over my camp one day while I was away and they destroyed my tent and damaged my saddle and saddle blankets that. were lying outside. _In the cool of the evening they alight, onthe ground or on trees. In the early morning the natives turn out by thousands to gather hem in for food. They take off their wings and feet. and spread them out tn the sun. They gutckly dry 1n the tropical sun at: then the natives grind them tnto meal. This meal cooked with peanut oll or palm oll is really not. unpleas- ant to eat. In the night. the locusts ‘av tnelr eggs. The eggs are hatched out. 311st about the tlme when the next. year's crops are beginning to grow. The young locust or as the Beers call them, foot looper (ln- fantry: cause as mucl: damage as the original swarm. I have often ln the early morn- lng seen the ound covered to a. depth of six nches with locusts. They cannot fly until the sun f5 well up. At such times rallway trains must stop as the ralls be- come so supp)" that the wheels wlll not grip. Now t1 few words about honey. Africa ts a country literally cov- ered wlth honey. In every part that. I have been ln, honey existed 1n abundance. It forms an important Dart in the food of the natives. When travelling through thecoun- try they depend-on honey entire- ly. When hungry they slt down near water and hunt for honey near the road o1- foot nth. In a. few minutes they wlll ave ath- ered all the honey they nee . 0f course the natives eat. comb and larvae as well as the honey. I must". {law clgose with a few words about, 9 “ ‘melt bird".
