the fresh and canned fruits

How Artificial Nests
Aid in Bass Culture
It has been ascertained that black
bass culture is greatly ulded by artl
flclal construction of nests. The mule
small-mouthed bass builds its nest by
sweeping the stones of a lake bottom
bare of sand in a three-foot circle Al
ternntely using his nose und his tail
the lish makes a saucer-shaped nesl
ready for the eggs of his mate; but
he will readily use a nest that has
been prepared for him. Accordingly,
the fish experts expedite his home
bulldlng.
For the big-mouthed boss nosts are
made of moss embedded in concrete,
as this species prefers u iibrous bed
for its eggs. Ponds with bnslns six
feet deep in the center and with shal
lower water elsewhere are so pre
pared. Wild fish caught by the book
are put In to mate here, to the great
increase of reproduction. Proper as
sortment of the fish and the preven
tion of crowding accomplish excellent
results.
How Tree* Affect Future.
If this nation is to continue to main
tain commercial prosperity, the for
estry situation becomes a world prob
lem. What does It mean to this pros
perity wljen such great manufactur
ing centers as Pennsylvania, New
York, Michigan, and Ohio have to
import lumber in billions of feet every
year to keep their factories going?
New York, Imports about 3,000,000,-
000 feet annually, the American Tree
association says. Many other states
Import great quantities. What will t
mean to state and national prosperity
when industries have to slow down
and cut pay tolls because of the
mounting cost of forest products? We
think of California us one of the
states with thousands of acres of un
cut forests, yet the state uses more
than It produces. This all means
something to every person of school
age today—the citizen and taxpayer
of tomorrow.
How Glait Can Bo Cut.
A method of cutting glass clean and
straight without the aid of a glass
cutter is given as follows: Dip a
piece of common string in alcohol and
squeeze reasonably dry. then tie it
around the glass on the line of cut
ting. Touch a match to it and let it
burn off. While the glass is hot
plunge it under water, letting the arm
go well under to the elbow, so there
will be no vibration when the glass
is struck. With the free hand strike
the glass outside the line of cutting
giving a quick sharp stroke with a
stick or knife. Of course this will
leave a sharp edge around the cutting
How X-rayt Save Tree*.
Hidden defects and diseases in tree
trunks are revealed by means of an
X-ray outfit which shows conditions
that cannot be detected by ordinary
examination.
The outfit is one of the first to be
developed- and has since been im
proved Into a more compact form.
The apparatus is also useful in in
specting poles that carry power or
Other wires, to determine if any of
them are dangerously decayed in

Cured sniaU Boys of
“rinickinscs” at Meals
Meal time generally was a trying
period In the Brown household. In
variably Bobby didn't like half the
things that were served, ami Billy ex
pressed u dislike for the other half.
Often they agreed on the same Item.
It required threats und persuasion to
force them to partake of the food pro
vided, but at length the Browns de
citled on anew method.
For weeks they compiled a list of
the eatables that the boys hated, and
served them exclusively for dinner.
There was a howl of anguish from
the two urchins ns they glanced at
the table. The parents passed the
various dishes Instead of Mr. Brown
serving them, hut the hoys, with
pained look, took tiny helpings or
passed them up entirely. They pecked
at the food and went to bed hungry,
for Mrs. Brown had seen to it that
there was nothing in the larder to at
tract them.
This went on for several meals—
ami the boys finally had to surrender.
Now they actually are fond of some
of the victuals they formerly detested.
However, neither has been heuril
since then to kick about any item of
ihe food. They are afraid they'll havr
to eat it for days at u time. —Now
York Sue.
Africa’s Sausage Tree
One of Oddest Known
A tree which bears fruit apparently
only to deceive Is the so-called "sau
sage tree” of East Africa, a queei
tree If a queer one Is to be found.
As the sausage tree is approached
while bearing fruit often reaches a
length of two feet, with a most Invit
ing look but a most disappointing re
sult upon inspection.
The exterior seems to be edible
upon a glance, but the Interior is hard
and weedy pulp, neither tempting to
the palute nor edible.
Tite tree, which is a member of the
cataipu family, has a use, however,
and enters into both the religious and
medical life of the natives of the
country where It Is found. The negro
tribes of Nubln consider the tree
sacred and hold religious festivals Id
the moonlight beneath its branches
Poles made from the trees are erected
before the houses of the chiefs and
are worshiped by other members ol
the tribe.
The natives cut and roast the sau
sages and place the cut sides against
pdrts of their bodies afflicted with
rheumatism and similar complaints.-*
Washington Star.
Canada'* Statu*
Canada Is not an Independent na
tion in the same sense as Is the Unit
ed States. Canada Is a self-governing
dominion within the British empire
At the Imperial conference of 1926 the
position of Canada and other self-gov
erning dominions wns defined as fol
lows: “They are autonomous com
munities within the British empire,
equal in status. In no way subordinate
one to another in any aspect of thelf
domestic or external affairs, though
united by u common allegiance to the
crown, and freely associated as mem
bers of the British commonwealth ol
nations.”
Made New Football Game
The introduction of the carrying
feature Into football Is attributed upon
a memorial tablet at Rugby to a school
boy named William Webb Ellis, who
In the closing minute of a drawn game
In the autumn of 1823, "with a flue
disregard for the rules of football as
played In his time, first took the ball
in hie arms and ran with It, thus
originating the distinctive feature of
the Rugby game.” In the forty years
that followed, many clubs sprang up
throughout England, some playing the
kicking and others the carrying game,
but all handicapped by a lack of uni
form rules.

HOW TO PREVENT AN
OUTBREAK OF POISON OAK
As the lure of blossoming spring
flowers urges people to the out of
doors the following from Georgia’s
Health, the official publication of the
state department of public health, is
timely:
The season is near at hand when
we begin having trouble from coming
in contact with poison oak and x sieh
other plants as give a dermatis that
is anything but pleasant.
Some individuals do not seem to
be very susceptible to the sap from
such plants and vines, while others
are extremely so. These poisons
should be avoided whenever possible.
If one is exposed, however, no time
should be lost in taking the necessary
steps to prevent an outbreak from
the irritant. To do this, if one is
coming in contact with the poison,
gloves should be used and the face
protected. After the contact no
time should be lost in taking steps to
prevent an outbreak. The dermati
tis may sometimes be avoided even
after handling these plants by free
use of alkaline soap and water or
alcohol containing a little sodium hy
droxide dissolved in it. The poison
is soluble in alcohol and alkalies.
Gasoline may be used; most of our
pleasure seekers and wild flower
hunters go in automobiles, and it
would be advisable to use gasoline
from the tank on the hands on re
turn to the car. Common baking
soda dissolved in water is a fairly
good remedy; it is not as effective as
the alcohol and hydroxid mentioned.
The washing must be done prompt
ly and thoroughly or it will tend to
spread the poison over a larger sur
face.
Home made lye soap is a good re
medy, followed with several rinsings.
BALANCED FARM
METHODS SEEN
IN CROP LOANS
More than 43,500 Georgia farmers
applied to the regional crop produc
tion loan office at Washington, D.
for loans during the first four months
of 1933, according to figures released
by the offices of the Georgia Agricul
tural Extension Service.
The crop production loans were
initiated by the government as an
emergency measure for giving re
lief to storm-stricken or drouth
stricken areas, but in the last twe
years the service has been extended
to the entire country as a farm re
lief measure. In 1932 Georgia farm
ers sent in approximately 45,000 ap
plications. This year it is estimat
ed by Harry Brown, of the extension
service, that the applications will
reach 65,000, since 43,571 had come
in by April 1. ,
The maximum crop production
loan to a farmer is ?300. The aver
age of the loans to Georgia farmers
so far this year has been $92 pe
application.
