Really Is a Jag in a Georgia Melon

the discovery of a criminal tendency
in the watermelon heretofore unsus.
pected.
I'VE have been experimenting with
every sort of fruit and vegetable that
contains sugar." said Mr.. Wilson, the
watermelon, pears, apples, peaches,
plums, pumpkins, muskmelons, Irish
potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets and
other vegetables. The watermelon sur
prised us. We never expected it of
it. The purpose is to develop the
cheapest kind of denatured alcohol for
use as fuel.
THE experiments have been made
under the directions of DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley, chief of the bureal of
chemistry. Of course it is impossible
to extract this alcohol in paying guam
titles from melons, but we hope to do
so from sweet potatoes.
The experiments have been made
to benefit the seacoast portion of the
south, from Virginia down the Allan
tic around Florida and along the gulf.
Sweet potatoes can be grown cheaply
in the sand of these sections. One
bushel of sweet potatoes will make
gallon of alcohol. The product Is a
better and cheaper fuel than benzine."

THE department of agriculture has
1 come along with some good news for
those citizens in southern Indiana who,
when arrested last fall for conducting
blind tigers" set up as a defense
that they had become intoxicated from
eating watermelonS. The department
has not yet analysed the Indiana
brand OF melons, but it asserts that
there is a jag" in the Georgia mel
ons.
OF course 1t is carefully concealed,
and much care and labor is required
to extract it, but it is there just the
same. The department has proved this
beyond doubt. Out of 100 pounds of
watermelons experts in chemistry
made one-tenth of a gallon of alcohol.
They also have convicted the humble
sweet potato Of possessing another
spree. Secretary Wilson announced

WASHINGTON.-F 20 years James
w Wilson. secretary of agriculture,
has been sounding the praises of the
American hen. He has shown by sta
hst1cs, pictures, reports, omelets, soft
boiled eggs and spring chickens that
the American hen beats the world.
She Is not the possessor of great per-
sonal beauty, she does not aspire to
be a butterfly of fashion, but is a very
fine representative of the housewife
type of chicken. If fine feathers made
fine birds she would not be in it. For
the peacock Is a dazzler and the roos-
ter struts with an air that cannot be
Initiated by his more modest compan-
ion who does the homework and
scratches around for the children. But
the hen, by keeping steadily at work
and doing the best she can, has been
enabled to enrich this country by more
good dollars than all the silver mines
of the west and all the gold of the
klondike. Statistics show that in a
single generation the American hen
lays eggs enough to make the Allan
tic ocean one vast omelet and fill the
Pacific with scrambled eggs. Placed
on top of one another they would
make stack 10000 times as tall as
the Washington monument and almost
as high as the price of beef.
All this has been done by the one
egg day hen. But along with the
airships and the 26,000-ton battleships
the two-egg hen has arrived. No, she
was not produced by Luther Burbank
by grating a Leghorn chicken onto a
roe herring. She is just a plain, ordi
nary hen, who resolved to do her best

This hen has appeared in Wilmington
and Is the property of a 14-year-old
boy. Lilbourne Martin. But she is not
a native of Delaawre. No, she thanks
her feathers she was born at Bynum.
Md, and thus good old Hartford coun-
ty adds another gem to the diadem OF
the state that made good eating IA
nous. Though black as a colored poll
tician, she rejoices in the name Of
SNOWFALL, and as such will go down In
history
For generations Maryland has been
famous for her chickens, and whether
they were fried la Maryland or were
laid to rest in the old-fashioned pie,
they have served their country well
and have left pleasant memories be-
hind them. 1t is all the more crafty
ing to record that out of the heart Of
the fried-chicken belt has come this
phenomenal hen.
According to the records, she not
only lays two eggs day, but some
times varies 1t by contributing three.
All are perfectly fresh and suitable
lOk ldIuAy use. i she Cdn Keep
her record for year this will mean

mas and the Fourth of July. If all the
eggs grow up into chickens Mrs.
Snowfall would soon have enough de-
scendants to cluck around the world.
She deserves a medal from Secretary
Wilson and cablegram from Col.
Roosevelt for her efforts to prevent
race suicide.
/ Mrs. SNOWFALL is a model hen. She
never worries about the fashions in
feathers; she is not forever running
off to some barnyard by the sea or
chicken house in the mountains; she
does not try to shine at bridge or out
scratch her neighbors. She stays at
home, looks after Mr.. Snowfall and
the children and attends strictly to
business. Wherefore will she be re-
membered wherever the egg is held in
honor and the chicken in esteem.
