Sprinkle Early
Early morning is the best time to
sprinkle the lawn. A thorough wet
ting is best; it promotes deep,
healthy roots in contrast to the shal- |
low root system of grass lightly j
sprinkled.
Robins Damage Crops
Game Warden B. S. Frederickson |
[ of San Jose, Calif., advised the I
board of supervisors that damage I
to the strawberry crop in the fa- I
mous Santa Clara valley will be
heavy this year. Robins, he ex
plained, had arrived at the same
time as the strawberries beran to
ripen and ate them as fast as they
turned red.
Waxing App es
Waxing of apples has “markedly
prolonged the salability” of them,
. D. V. Fisher and J. E. Brittain of
j the Dominion experimental station,
! Summerland, B. C., said recently,
i They found that apples in cold stor
] age for more than seven months
shrank only a pound to the bushel,
but that unwaxed apples kept at 60
degrees shrank a half-pound per
bushel in ft'/e weeks. Waxing of
apples “materially reduced” their
shrinkage in low-humidity areas,
they discovered. The waxing does
not affect the flavor. The scientists
said that waxing delayed the onset
of mealiness in Delicious apples and
reduced the “core flush” in Mclntosh 1
apples.

Colombia Rich in Metals
On Perilous Mountains
Pushing down on Colombia from
the northwest is the long finger of
Central America, capped by the Re
public of Panama.
Coming up from the southeast to
meet it are three fingers of the
Andes, three towering cordilleras
or ranges that are Colombia’s
greatest blessing—or its greatest j
burden.
In those mountain ranges are
deposits of gold, platinum, silver,
manganese, chromium, molybde
num, antimony and zinc. Pouring
down from the mountains are great
waterfalls, offering a promise of al
most limitless electric power.
But those very mountains, high
and dangerous, sometimes virtually
impassable, guard their own wealth.
They make travel and transporta
tion difficult and risky. They fore
stall attempts made merely to
measure these metal deposits.
So difficult is this transportation |
problem that in many cases the air
plane is the only possible solution
at present.
There is certainly iron and coal, j
some of it rich and workable, but
nobody seems to know how much. |
There are zinc deposits, some of
them containing the purest zinc in ■
the New world, but all that is known |
for sure is that they occur along the |
winding 100-mile Magdalena river j
and are scattered through the state j
of Cundinamarca.
There are scattered deposits of ;
manganese, which the United i
States needs for its steel alloys in i
war and peace, and small deposits
of chromium which are required
for battleship steel and for high
powered projectiles.
Rich deposits of gold, silver and '
platinum are much better known, I
and are already being worked.
Each year Colombia is producing
nearly $1,000,000 worth of platinum,
also gold valued at $20,000,000.
Traffic Court Reform
Sought to End Injustice
Immediate steps to remove juris
i diction over traffic violation cases
| from officials whose compensation
1 is dependent upon fees or fines is
I the leading plank in a drastic pro-
I gram for traffic-court reform ad
vanced by the American Automobile
association.
The announcement was made by
Thomas P. Henry of Detroit, presi
dent of the national motoring body.
He recommended that the proce
| dure of all courts in regard to traf
fic cases be brought into harmony
with the principles set up by our
special committees, as follows:
“I—All traffic cases should be
handled apart from other court busi
ness and minor traffic violators
shall not be treated as criminals.
“2—Speedier handling of cases
should be provided for by establish
ment of violations bureaus when
minor infractions are too numerous
to be handled through regular court
procedure.
“3—Physical courtroom condi
-1 tions should be improved as to facili
ties, arrangements, cleanliness and
appearance.
“4—Traffic judges should be well
, grounded in the knowledge of traffic
] laws, traffic policing and traffic en
i gincering, in addition to regular
j legal training.
Garbage Feeding Venture

little significance has been given #r •
it as a going business and one ftaut
annually amounts to thousands el
I dollars. This industry flourishes m
j the more populous cities and near
' the larger cities. Reports sftnw
I that there are about 1,500,000 gar
bage fed hogs being marketed year
ly in this oountry. About half ul
this number are fed annually and
exclusively on garbage, while tire
other half arc finished with more or
less grain. There are about 3,090'
garbage feeding establishmerj*?;
which feed from 100 to 800 hogs, OB
the total number about 400,000 bewri
are sold yearly to local
in their territories. Very few trf
these feeders themselves slnug.Wtr'r
