rha Wrist and th. ANN.

The real wrist, as one might say, Is
the elbow joint. 1t Is all hand, prac-
tically speaking. from that point to the
tips of the fingers. When you turn
your wrist it Is the whole forearm
that makes the twist, and every move
ment Of the fingers is controlled by the
muscles of the forearm. The power
to turn the wrist TO and fro at the ell
bow Joint is possessed only by human
beings and monkeys. and even the
higher apes are not able TO do the trick
nearly as well as we can. In this
movement the great blceps muscle
in the upper arm is Importantly con
cerned, its powerful action in turning
the forearm outward being accounta-
BILE for the fact that we are able to
put so much more strength into twist
in that direction than the opposite
way. Many of our most familiar tools
Indeed. such as the screwdrlyer, are

The weather during the past week
was generally favorable for farm work
and the growth of crops. The tempera-
ture was about normal in the western
and slightly above the normal in the
eastern counties, with an abundance of
sunshine. The rainfall was generally
below normal, but heavy local showers
occurred in the eastern and portions of
the northern districts, with severe local
downpours in the northeastern counties.
The amounts of rainfall range from
nothing in the southwest to over seven
inches in Fayette County. Rapid
progress was made in haying and
harvesting, and large amount of hay
has already been secured in the best of
condition. Barley and early oats
harvest has been completed in southern,
and is well advanced in northern dis
tricts. Threshing has begun in south
eastern counties, and reports indicate
light yields of wheat. rye and oats.
The severe local rain and wind storms
in the northeastern and portions of the
east central districts did considerable
damage in lodging the unharvestec
grain, and there is danger that the late
oats will be materially damaged by
rust in these small areas. Corn has
