Col. A. I. Dallis In Cubd.
Col A. 'I'. Pallia left this week
for Cuba. IPs mission is in the
lint ure of a scientific rosearch.
Mr. I tail is liii« visited the island
before, nnd lins now arranged to
experiment with, some of the
grasses down there. According to
Mr. Pallia, “Pnrona" and “Gui
nea” are the best grasses to be
foil ml in Cuba.
M r Pallia has probably experi
mented with grasses and forage
plants more than any individual
in Georgia. “I’nspulum Pilita*
turn." or "Pallis Grass,” a won
derful hny and grazing grass was
introduced in the United States
by Mr. Pallis about the time it
was in New South Wales, Austra
lia. In Australia it has revolu
tionized tlie dairy industry. The
grass was originally brought from
Ceylon.
Much lias been accomplished
by Mr. Pallis’ i"vestigations, and
much more is expected. He has
an experimental farm just out
side the city, where he has for
more than n dozen years devoted
a large portion of his time to grain
nnd grasses. He probably bus
the prettiest nnd most interesting
place along the line of the Atlan
ta & YVest Point. The railroad
officials are friendly to the work
done und aid hint in any way they
can.

-Snake in Cabbage.
A lady living nt LaGrunge Mills
will probably give the noble vege
table commonly known na the
cnbhngo, a wide berth in the fu
ture, It was a few days ago that
Mrn. Mobley was cutting open a
cabbage for dinner, .when areal
anake, alive and iu lighting hu
mor, and evidently all put out at
being ho rudely disturbed, raised
its little black bend and looked
wickedly at her. His snakeship
was fully four inches in length,
and the colpr of the cabbage.
Now is the time for some of our
street corner philosophers to tell
us where the snake came from, or
if it had originally been a plain
ordinary, every-day cabbage worm.
Perhaps Pat I>ix, or .Too Swanson
or Hob Young cun tell us.

A prominent citizen remarked
to the Reporter: “Can’t you
newspaper men do something to
reduce the number of dogs in
this city? The city is almost over
run with them, and while there
are some fine dogs, the number of
worthless canines here is more
than we should have.” We agree
with this gentleman, and really
believe that there Bhould be a dog
tax as in some other cities. The
dog that apparently has no owner,
or is not worth paying a license
on, should be killed off. The fact
that there are so many dogs hav
ing hydrophobia these days,
ought to bring the matter to the
attention of our city officials, and
the number reduced. The good
dogs, (the four legged kind) are
all right, but it is the common,
worthless curs that are in the
way.
