At the far top of the kiln (at the famous pottery works of King Techel, China), and in the chimney are holes e foot square, into which 2 man, whe acts as a human thermometer, looks to determine the heat. His method 18 ‘simple. He spits into the hole, and if the spit turns to steam, the tempera ture is not suificient. When the heat is so great that the saliva is shot back at him with a little explosion, every thing is all right.—John Knight Shry ock In Asia, Beliefs About Parsley. It was said that parsley seed went nine times to the devil before coming up. If parsley were sown on any day except Good Friday, it was thought that it would not come up curly. In ancient Greece the graves were strewn with parsley. It was and is today deemed unlucky to transplant parsley.

There is not going to be “autumn harvest” season in the former sense of the word when all the money came in to the farmer'during a few months and when business men could con centrate their efforts for trade into aj short space of time and in a few; months strike off the losses of slack months and accumulate the whole year’s profits. 1 This year the “harvest season” has begun already with the movement of vegetables and light foodstuffs through the curb market and in ship ment to foreign markets.- Thaf, how ever, has not been developed into a real money producer yet, it will be‘ next year. Sweet potatoes are begin ning to move after being held over the winter. It is, in effect, the Spring harvest season for that crop. In May June and July the watermelon and cantaloupe harvest season will pour its money into trade channels. Inl July and August the tobacco harvest will pay its big dividends to farmer and merchant. In the normal brisk business season of Autumn other crops will be harvested and keep the income from the farms up to or a lit tle above the preceeding months but the amount of money put in crculation will never again be so much larger in proportions to the other seasons. Especially will this be true the next fall. There will be practically no‘ cotton. The actual cost of produc~“ tion has been figured at 28 cents a pound at present prices of the com—‘ modities that enter into its produc-‘ tion. It will certainly be at least 20! cents a pound. Thus, business men, who have formerly been content to merely drag along during the Spring and Summer months, trying to keep from loosing a great deal per month rather than trying to make anything, with the certainty of receivng the year’s profits during the fall months, must revise their business methods‘ and plan to make each month show its own profits. The merchant who fails! to take into full consideration the change in agricultural conditions | that has been forced on the farmers this year is going to have hard sled ding before the year is over. The farmers generally and individ ually have turned from cotton as money crop .. not because of any: thing the newspapers have preache or the farm organizers advocated, bu because cotton is not profitable thi year and will not be profitable fo the next two years. They are plant ing all-year-round crops. The mer chant must harvest his shekils all the year round.
