But For Them All Green Plants Would
Vanish From the Earth.
Few persons can realize at first
what an immense number and variety
of microbes there are not only around
us In the air and dust and water, but
also IN us aud on us and In and on
every living thing. The work. the
huge system of chemical change and
the circulation of the elements-car-
bon. oxygen. hydrogen, nitrogen and
sulphur which they carry on Is in
cessant. varied and complex. Those
five elements are the main and essen
tial constituents of all living things
Surprising there were no microbes,
there would be no putrefaction. no
breaking down of the dead bodies Of
animals and plants which were once
alive into gas and substances soluble
In water
They by II series of steps in which
different kinds of bacteria or microbes
are successfully concerned convert
the proteids aud the fats and sugars
OF dead plants and animals into less
elaborate bodies. organic acids. aro-
matte bodies and other compounds

duced by the action of first one and

certain special microbes, which con-

IL there were no microbes this would
never occur, The earth would be
numbered with the dead bodies of past
generations Of animals and plants-un-
decomposed. And very soon all the
organic elements, all the carbon and
nitrogen. II not all the hydrogen and
oxygen. on the face of the earth would
be fixed in these corpses. and the
green plants would perish from the
whole world for want Of sustenance,
for 1t is the green plants which feed
ON and absolutely must have as their
food the carbonic acid, ammonia and
nitrates into which the microbes re-
solve all living things when dead. 1t
Is the green plants which from those
simple compounds build up again the
more complex molecules, the sugars,
fats, albumens and proteids and pro-
vide for the nourishment and increase
Of the most complex Of all-the living
matter hidden in protoplasm.-Sir Ray
Lancaster in London Telegraph.

RECEDING TIDE LEFT
THEM HIGH AND DRY.

T. S. Woods and Clarence Vincent
made a trip to the inlet Sunday in
the formers launch, and while explor-
ing one Of the creeks found their
gasoline tank was dry. They were pro
vided with more gasoline and pro-
ceeded to fill up, but while they were
so engaged the boat drifted upon a
sand bar and before they realized it.,
The swiftly receding tide had left
them high and dry. After d time a
Port Orange boat came along and find
ing the tide would not be high until
they abandoned their boat
and returned in the other to Port
Orange with the intention of walking
home from that place but were fortu-
nate enough to secure a ride with one

New Enqland Corn Exposition

The addition of 10 bushels of corn
per acre to the annual yield in New
England would mean 81, 900, 600 annual
" to agriculture in this section of the
country and would greatly enhance the
value of New England farms.
The New England corn exposition to
be held at the Worcester fair grounds
the weeks of November TIP will show
the farmers of New England how that
extra 10 bushels of corn can be Sc
cured.
Leonard B. Clore of Franklin, Ind,
in the famous johnson county corn
belt, director of the National Corn
association, and known the world over
as the Corn king" has come east for
the express purpose of directing the
New England show, the first event of
its kind to be held in this section of the
country.
Mr.. Clore brings with him all the
ideas and many of the features that
have made for the success of the big
western corn expositions in years past.
He makes the assertion that every
New England farmer that will exhibit
at the coming show the 10 best ears of
corn grown by him this year, attend the
show in person, make his own COM
parsons and 60 home resolved to profit
by what he sees and hears at the show,
can increase his next years corn crop
by 10 per cent.
Nearly $1,000 in cash prizes will be
awarded at the show, and in addition
there will be largs number of special
premiums in the shape of cups, agricul-
tural implements, household goods, etc.
Some splendid corn has been grown in
New England this year as result Of
the inspiration 'of this show, but the
real benefit will not be known until
1911.
The exposition is intended purely as
an educational proposition and will be
free from the money-making schemes
that characterize ordinary agriculture
shows.
1t has the support of every New Eng
land governor, every New England ag
riculturallcollege and board of agricult
ure, every secretary of every New
Englandlcommercial organization, every
New England railroad and of every
master and every member of every sub
ordinate grange in New England ant
this imposing list of interested worker
comprises about everybody in New Eng
land that raises corn or eats it.

Gus woodsman. In the words of the
little pamphlet which the Department
of Agriculture sends to persons making
inquiry, "Invalids seeking light outdoor
employment need not apply" He
must be sound-bodied, Injured to hard
ships, able to ride, pack, and take care
of himself and his horses in the woods
and mountains, familiar with the region
and local conditions where he seeks en-
ployment, and resident of the State
in which he will be appointed. AL
though the requirements are largely
physical and practical, they include both
sufficient general education to qualify
the ranger to transact national forest
business intelligently, and knowledge
Of land surveying, mining laws and
customs, and the handling of range
livestock. In the Southwest some
knowledge of Spanish is often neces.
sary.
To secure the right kind of men the
examination is largely test of prac.
teal capacity to do things. The candi-
date must give demonstration of his
horsemanship, ability to pack, knowl
edge of the use of the compass, anC
similar matters. Other parts of the
test are written examinations. Be
cause of the desirability of securing
in the new rangers, recruits who will
prove capable of rising to the higher
responsibilities laid upon forest super
visors, the tests of educational qualifi
cations have been strengthened. Thus
the government is obtaining picked
men for the rank and file of its littl,
army of employees who administer anc
promote the proper use of its nearl!
two hundred million acres of nationa
forests.
