Biological Survey of the United _ States Departmént of Agriculture is a somew hat more leisurely movemeni ~ than the northward advance and often ‘ takes a longer time. In spring particularly in the West the migrants appear in hordes, in waves that carry . them forward at varving rates of speed. Twenty miles a day is probably a fair rate for many of the smaller hirds. The economic value of this northern movement is important at the time the birds start migrating the insect population is smallest on account. of the hazards of over wintering and the state of pupation in which . most insects pass through the colder months. The northward movement ot 3 millinn.{ul' insect-eating hirds feeding ~upon them prevents the maturing of countless number of these undersirable pests. and helps to check their otherwise inevitable increase. ; ———— .

Other accessories, applicable espe(rz‘ially for summer tourists use, with which the Qakland-Pontiac. dealers are stocked, include the new auto watch, which attaches to the header hoar(i: beside the rear vision mirror, its rimi designed to harmonize witli the interior hardware of tHe car: the themogauge which attaches to the instiument panel and -insures additional motor protection oif a long drive by indicating instantly the heat of the engine and spare tire locks as insurance against theft. = Mr. Bullock stated that the policy of his organization was to recommend only such accessories as offered utility to the motorist.. By centralizing their merchandising in the home office only accessories approved for - Oakland and Pontiac cars by company engineers are offered, he said. A further advantage he pointed ‘out lies in centralized purchasing power which < results in a better T)rice_' both to the ; dealer and the public. - i L . !

Fireldss cookers give many a farntwife an occasional afternoon oft or help her get to church on Sunday mornings. Acetylene or gasoline mantle lamps or electric 'lights are rép!ac—ing the kerosene lamp, giving better lizht and easing the labor of cleaning lamp chimupeys; : : In a survey of forty thousand fagm homes in. forty-six statés, conducted by the General Federation of Women's clubs. it was found that TI.S per cent. had géWing n‘fim;hi-nes; 51.5 per cent, foed choppers; 50.1 per cent, refrigeration of some kind; 44.6 per cent, waler piped to the house; 40.3 per cent, washing machines; 30.5 per cent, kerosene or gasoline stoves; 24.6 per cent, electric or gas sadirons, and 17.3 per cent, vacuum cleaners, While this group of howmes may not have been entirely typical, the survey does indicate that hundreds of thousands of farm homes are .becoming equipped with labgr-saving devices, the Foundation adds. ;

One-Legged Farming System Won’t Stand Up

Thousands of farmers who are now depending upon cash crops could double their income by combining the production of -cash crops and feed crops with well-managed live stock. states the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation. Trying to succeed at farming with one crop or product is about as diflieult as making a table stand withi.only one leg. Growing a variety of feed and cash’ .crops lgads to rotation which preserves fertility, helps to control weeds, insects and. plant diseases, and mainfains high crop yields. All the crops

produced are not likely to fail or to be lower in price at once. Diversification permits moré effective use of man and horse labor and machinery. I"armers who rély on live stock are more likely to have a proper proportion of their acreage in legumes than those who depend solely on crops for their incowe, the Foundation adds. Live stock helps to preserve the fertility of the soil, saves labor by har--vesting some crops without éost, utilizes waste land and waste crop products, provides more of the family liy--ing and gives the farmer profitable oecupation during ‘the winter, turning the farm into a factory operating the year round. : RN S eßel Y v Man Falls to Death -Charles W.

Docked Lambs Avoid . Docked Prices

Failure to dock lambs and to, desex ram lambs results .in diixt«iuu_nts of 51 to 85 in price, yet these operations e neglected every year with hundreds of thousands of lambs, especially in the Middle West; the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation points out.

Industries Seek to Use Farm Wastes |

\\'ilh paper. ranging from coarse wrapping to fine bond being manufactured successfully from corn stalks, industries are lurni’ng more and more to farm wastes as a source of raw materials, the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation observes. Likewise, farm leaders are looking to industrial utilization as a means of widening the markets for farm products. - Chemists have produced over 200 different * products from corn stalks and -a - similar number from straw. Corn stalks can be made into wall board at a cost of %16 per 1,000 board feet, even after payving 57 to 88 a ton for stalks at the tactory. Rayon, cellulose for explosives, print paper,; acetone, and a sugar for dinbetics are other products which ean be made from corn Stalks. - Corn cobs.also are a rich source of Indastrial materials, espedially furfural, which is used in making a hard rubber substitute. in an anti-knock

for . autos, in embalming fluids and in an anesthetiec. Cobs also furnish perfumes, fruit flavors. and a_ compound 300 times as sweet as sugar. Most of the commercial supply of furfural is made from oat hulls which accumulate at oat meal factories. Straw furnishes a gas suitable for heating and lighting, vegetable carbon, vegetable pitch, and straw oil. The work of tl_lle packing companies in utilizing wastes of animal sl:uighter is well known, Casein from skimmilk

The amount of these farm wastes available for use is tremendous, the Foundation continues. Annual production of corn stalks not used by live stock probably approaches 10 million tons, equal to eight times the } total paper consumption in the Uhnited States. Straw probably totals well over 100 million tons, and cobs 20 ’million' tons. Cotton stalks, cottonseed hulls, flax staiks, sucar cane bagasse, and peanut hulls are other wastes useful for industra. : o e - Seek to Net Aside Will. A complaint to set aside the will of the late Mahlon Powell, which gave $BO,OOO to Indiana university has been filed at Wabash by Sarah M. Powell, and others, relatives of the dead man, against Nathan F. Gilbert, executor, and trustee of the school. It is claimed Powell was of unsound mind at the-time the will was made. Its provisions read that Powell left his entire fortune to the university to establish a chair in philesophy because he “hated sham in churches” and believed I.

Hard to Shake Belief ! : in Good and Bad Luck ~ It is hard to overcome such inbred myths as the “thirteen” superstition. To any reasonable person you can: demonstrate in two minutes that there is nothing in it. But these beliefs in good and had liuek are not kept going by people capable of rea-| son. They are the beliefs of the un-i thinking mass with whom it i 3 useless to argne. .’ i Parnell, the famous Irish statesman, was one «‘if_lhe many prominent politicians who have been afraid of 13. His mother was responsible for it. Yet she ‘was a woman of character and intellect.

To ‘have so consistent an example of absolute integrity would be of incaleulable worth to any child: 1 never ean sufticiently express my debt of gratitude to them. o My father was a ‘“natural born” scientist, an indefaticable searcher for the relation between cause and effect. It was he that tauglit. me to ask the why of everything: (o want to know and to understand things. Both my father and my mother judged persons by the essentials of character; such. things as honesty, kindness, uprighiness: by what per‘sons were—not by how much money they had or how muech show they could make.—Mary B. Mullett in the American Magazine, . e : Pals : The late Chauncey M. Depew was fond of telling stories on himself. On one of his last birthdays, which had become oceasions of ceremony, he told this one: : 4T feel as Methuselah must have when one of the-beauties of his conrt congratulated him on his nine hundred sixtieth birthday sayving, ‘You don't look a day over 930."

The Appointed Place

The big business man had died and gone to—well not to heaven.. But kardly had he settled down for a nice long smoke when- a hearty hand slapped him on the back. and into his ear boomed the voice of a persistent salesman who had pestered him much on earth. * “Well. Mr, Smith,” -chortled the salesman, “I'm here for the appointment.” * : “What appointment?” “Why, don’t you remember?’ the salesman went on. “Every time I came into your office you. told me you'd see me here!” ‘ - Thou and You A reader asks “whén and by whom was the plain language, thee and thou, changed to you when speaking to a single person?’ We can only say that the change was brought about by public usage. If one were to adhere strictly to the laws of grammar, then one should still address a single person as thou instead of you, and some people do this yet, but the ordinary custom has become to drop the secfid person singular, even when only person .is addressed;- and to use the second person plural. There is no law of any kind requiring this, it ig simply the custom.-—Exchange. " Rites of Baptism : Immersion is unquestionably the most ancient form of Christian baptispn. The word “baptism” is derived from the Greek ‘“bapto” or “baptizeo,” literally meaning to immerse, bathe, or wash. Baptism in the Latin or Roman Catholic chureh was originally by immersion. That method prevailed until about the Twelfth century. In some places individual Catholle churches continued to baptize by immersion until only a few hundred years ago. According to the ritual now authorized hy the Catholic church, baptism "is performed by laving the candidate’s head.—Exchange.
