Light Headed
What would you think of a person who would plant
some seed in the ground and then go out and dig the
seed up every day to see if it had sprouted?
We know that you would think that he was pretty
light in the head and ought to have a guardian ap
pointed. Yet that’s about the way some people do,
who start a bank account. They put the money in the
bank, but the balance never grows because it is check
ed out as fast as deposited. In order to get ahead
and secure enough funds to make a profitable invest
ment, the deposit should be left alone to grow, like
the seed in the ground.

URGE REMOVAL OF
59,000 FAMILIES
Believe Drouth Area May Be
Affected for 20 Years.
Washington, D. C.—Migration of
59,000 families from the drouth
damaged farms of the great plains
was recommended in a population
survey of that area by Dr. C. W.
Thornthwaite, former university of
Oklahoma climatologist.
His study, published by the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, contended
that wind erosion had damaged 65
per cent of the plains region, ex
tending from the Canadian border
into the Texas panhandle.
A long range government pro
gram for the return of millions of
acres of wheat land to its native
sod, he said, might be the only
means of checking the devastating
dust storms. ,
Observing that long dry spells
have been frequent in the history of
the plains, Thornthwaite predicted
that “the present drouth might be
prolonged for 20 or more years.”
Evidence from tree rings, lake
levels, and other sources was cited
in the survey to show that a 40 year
drouth began in 1825 and was in
terupted by only occasional wet
years.
The weather experts estimated
that a minimum of 12,610 families
should move out of Montana, the
state in which he reported the
greatest “surplus population.” He
urged a migration of 12,200 families
from Texas and 7,360 from North
Dakota.
Heavy removals also were sug
gested for South Dakota, Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and
Colorado.
School census returns indicated,
he said, that 36,000 families have
left the great plains since 1930.
“The ideal situation in the great
plains,” he said, “would be a vir
tually complete return to a grazing
economy where pasturing on the
range is supplemented by the rais
ing of feed and forage crops.
“This does not mean a re-estab
lishment of the great ranches and
the restoration of the cattle kings,
but rather an increase in the size
of farms to a point where cultiva
tion and grazing can both be con
trolled.”
“Half-Man” Plants
One of the plants of South Africa
is called 'half num” by Hottentot na

long trunks and mop like tops, suggest

Where Hailstones Are Formed
Hailstones are formed in strong up
ward -currents of air in which rain
drops, as they reach the higher and
colder altitudes, are frozen and in
crease in size by the continuous con
densation on their surface of moisture
carried upward. When they reach a
size and weight in which the support
ing power of the rising air current Is
overcome they fall. During their de
scent more moisture is frozen on their
surface.

The Derby
The Derby was instituted by the
twelfth Earl of Derby in 1780. Its
widespread fame was not an instan

greatly in popularity by 1847 that in
that year the house of commons voted
to adiourn over Derby day, and this
continued as an annual parliamentary
custom until 1379.
