Atlanta, Oct., 4.—Through the ac

geologist, the fact has been establish
ed definately that the largest single
block of marble over quarried was
obtadniMl recently at the plant of the
G. rgi;. Marble cm par;, at Tate, G.t.
An invesligatoin covering several
weeks was made by Dr. McCallie and

National Headquarters responded wit
a grant of $105,000 for relief work. ,
Governor Shoup of Colorado, appre

disaster relief work, placed the er.

In response to appeals from Pres!

The terrible h^yoc wrought by the

More than 2,300 homes were affected
nnd 7,351 persons were left homeless
Estimates of $500,000 as an absolute

In connection with the administra

creasing effectiveness on the part of
the Red Cross to deni with emergen

year. In 328 Chapters of the Ameri

special committees to survey the re
sources of their respective communi
ties nnd to he prepared In case of

Chapters, a network of communication
has been formed through which instan

any part of the United States.

The fodder should never be pulled
from corn intended for seed as num
erous tests have shown that corn
loses in weight from 15 to 30 per
cent and that seed from stalks from
which the fodder has been pulled do
not give as high yield as when it is
allowed to remain on thestalk.
In a few hours a grower can go
through his fields and select enough
seed to plant his crop for the next
year. In making these selections, the
following characters should be watch

(2) Tip of ear completely covered
