ADDS TO HARDNESS OF BRICK
dclentltt Explains Why Straw la a
Necessary Ingredient In the
Process of Manufacture.
Qveryone Is familiar with the story
of how Pharaoh commanded his talk*
makers to .Increase the bnrdena laid
on the Israelite* by wlthboldlns from'
them the straw wherewith to make
bricks, says the Popular Science
Monthly, and doubUess many have
wondered wherein the hardship lay.
By moat people, probably, the view has
been held that the straw was added as
a binding material, much as hair is
used In the mortar; but such an ex
planation Is scarcely satisfying when
It Is remembered that the straw fiber
la a very weak one. Alexander Find-,
lay says In bis "Chemistry In the Serv
ice of Man”:
"About fourteen years ago It was
found by Da. E. G. Acbeson, to whom
we owe the discovery of carbornm|im
and the process of making artificial
graphite, that when clay Is mixed with
a dilate solution of tannin It becomes
much more plastic, and the strength
of the dried brick Is, moreover, great
ly increased. Although straw does
not contain tanntn It wns found that
when straw-la treated with water, the
extract obtained has the same action
on clay as tannin has, the plasticity of
the clay and the hardness of the brick
being greatly Increased."
WEEKLY LETTER
FROM J. J. BROWN!
Atlanta, Ga., Aug.—Georgia pro- j
ducert of velvet beans are looking,
forward with much interest to the |
meeting called in Macon, Thursday,>
August 8th, at 10 o’clock, at the !
Chamber of Commerce, for the pur
pose of formally organizing an asso
ciation of velvet bean millers of this
state.
The State Bureau of Markets has just •
issued a call directed to all who are
interested in the velvet bean industry j
to attend this meeting, as it will be !
most important. It will look not on-;
ly to the development of the industry i
which is rapidly growing, but to its!
protection, both in the matter of pro- J
duction and marketing.
The State Bureau of Markets is a j
statement just issued calls attention j
to the fact that here is a large' quan-1
tity of velvet bean meal in the state!
and it will not be long before the
farmers are considering the fertili
zation of their soils for fall planting.
Velvet bean meal has a great, feed
ing value, but considering it purely
from the standpoint of a fertilizer,
the bureau points out that a ton of
this meal, ground ith the hulls, con
tains .58 per cent phosphoric acid,
3.45 per cent ammonia and 1.26 per
cent potash; and figuring this on the
basis of the unit prices of fertilizers
lasts pring, it states that this meal is
worth $32.50 per ton purely as a fer
tilizer. The market bureau further
says:
We think it wise to call the atten-

New Chapter in Anthropology.
It if an extraordinary chapter In an
thropology that Prof. Wood-Jones,
of the University of London, reads
in the Talgal skull and associated
remains discovered In New South
Wales in 1889. The antiquity sug
gested is far greater than that of the |
European ancient »k««l* ; »^ >n»tend |tion " of Georgia faraeratVu.e fact
of being descendant* of the anthropoid. ..an t ...i—. v ,
apes, the human race Is shown to have
been so highly developed as to have
boats and domesticated dogs before the
apee appeared. This skull, distinctly
human and highly mineralized, was In
a stratum with extinct poached ani
mals, Bones of dingo dogs were found
In a similar stratum, and with them
bones of extinct pouched animals that
had been gnawed by the dogs. Only
pouched animals were known In Aus
tralia at the time of Captain Cook.
Australia has been an Island since
poached animals were evolved, and It
Is argued that the Talgal man mnst
have come In a boat with his family
and dogs.

Calling attention to the indications
of a serious coal shortage the coming
winter, Commissioner of Agriculture
J. J. Brown advises all farmers who
are in a position to do so, to cut all
the cord wood possible this fall, and
have it ready for thew inter trade.
‘All indications point to the fact
that the situation as-to coal this year,
ia going to be worse than last year,”
Commissioner Brown said. “In fact
it has been reported the fuel adminis
tration may find it necessary to place
serious limitation upon the use of
coal, or even an embargo, in thoso
districts where wood can easily be
obtained.
"Undoubtedly, therefore, there will
be a good demand for wood for fuel
purposes, and those who arc prepar
ed to deliver it, will be in an advan
tageous position. It is best, of course
not to cut wood for fuel until the sap
gets out of the trees, say from about
September 1st on through thef all.”
“Don’t forget to plant winter wheat
. is the urgent advice of the Stato De
partment of Agriculture,” ns there
will be urgent need for every bushel
of it that .can be raised.
The Department is consistently
and persistently advising every farm
er in the State to put in at least two
acres of winter wheat to each plow,
and to give his very best acres to it
It is now time to begin to plan for
wheat and oat planting.
Tho State Bureau of Markets
stands ready to lend its assistance to
any who may desire it in the matter
of securing good quality of seed for
fall planting. .Prompt attention will
be given to the requirements of those
who will write the bureau at the State
Capitol, Atlanta, Ga.

KILLED UNTIL MATURITY
Atlanta, Ga.-—The slaughter of
broiler tuikeys weighing from two
to four pounds, which is about 25 per
cent of the weight of a mature bird,
is obviously wasteful. Tho Food Ad
ministration is now appealing to ho
tels, clubs and restaurants, where
most of the broilers are consumed, to
discontinue serving them.
It is also desired thst dealers re
frain from purchasing these . imma
ture birds and that they urge farm-
e to raise turkeys to maturity there
by addin gto our meat supply.
