Causes of High Prices

Less than forty per cent. of the cult
ably we'll cultivated and less that twelve
per cent. is yielding maximum return s.
Secretary Houston of the Department of
Agriculture told the National Grange of
Patrons of Husbandry, in convention at
Manchester, N. H last week, that the
best figures he could procure led to such
a conclusion and that only in very few
localities had Conditions been developed
to insure maximum returns. American
agriculturists, he declared, had not com
anywhere near the limit of the output of
the soil. The end of the pioneer stage
had not even been reached, but the very
foundation of our national existence had
been neglected in the building up of great
industrial centers.
AS the United STATES has practically
reached the stage where it has ceased to
be an exporting nation of food prod ucts
and is becoming dependent on foreign
nations for the necessities of life. Sec'y
Houston's views as to where the fault
lies and the remedy for it are interesting.
First, he declares, that Americans are
inefficient and neglect their opportuni-
ties. All this has an intimate relation 20
the high cost of living. of course, and
speaking of what the Agricultural De-
partment hopes to do to solve the prob
lem OF the increasing cost of living Sec'y
Houston expressed the opinion that
"the existing chaos and conseque Mt
wastes, result from faults on the part of
the farmer in the growing and handling
of his products from the machinery of
distribution, including physical equip
ment and physical handling; from the
manipulation of those middlemen who
perform no useful and necessary sery ice
and from ignorance on the part of the
consumer and of the producer of the
character of the product which is placed
upon the market"
He added, however, that he was not
pessimist and expressed his belief that
out of the chaos would come order, bet.
ter and bigger crops, improved living
conditions in the country and relief to
the city dweler through greater produc-
tiveness of the soil and businesslike over
hauling of marketing methods.

Two Waterloos.

1t is very curious fact that good
many people do not know that two
battles were fought at Waterloo. Both
of these were fought against the
French. the first under the command
of the Duke of Marlborough on Aug.
II, 1705. who on this date actually oc-
cupied the same ground AS the Duke of
Wellington did little more than a
century later. June II. 1915. the only
difference being that the former was
marching on Brussels and the latter
was marching from Brussels. In the
first battle the French We're defending
Brussels. They marched out to meet
Marlborough. but owing to the slack
ness on the part of Schlangenburg. the
Dutch general. who was fighting with
him. it was not a success, Marlborough
only taking few of the French troops
as prisoners. The following one. fought
against Napoleon by Wellington, proved
to be one of the greatest victories ever
recorded in the annals of England.

STOPPING THE EARTH.
1t Would Generate Heat Enough to
Turn Our Globe to Vapor.


The stopping of a projectile always
results in the generation of heat. The
velocity and weight of projectile be-
ing known the amount of heat deve-
oped by its stuppage can be calculated.
In the case OF large bodies moving
rapidly the result of the calculation is
something astounding.
For example. the earth weighs i.000,-
O00,00O,O0O tons and travels in its or
bit at the rate of over eighteen miles
a second Should it strike target
strong enough to stop its motion the
heat developed by the shock would be
sufficient not merely to fuse the earth,
but also to reduce large portion of it
to vapor. 1t has been calculated that
the amount Of heat generated by col
lision so colossal would equal that OBJ
tanned from the burning of fourteen
globes of coal each equal to the earth
in size.
And should the earth after it's STOP
page fall into the sun, as it certainly
would do. the amount of heat that
would be developed by it's impact on
the sun would be equal to that gener-
ated by the combustion of 5000 earths
of solid carbon.

| What causes a white frost? Why is
there no frost on a cloudy or windy
night, even though it is cold enough?
Why does frost hit low ground and not
high ground?
A white frost is frozen dew or vapor.
During the day the surface of the
earth and vegetation are warmed by
the sun. and when the sun sets they
! begin to ecool off, and the moisture in
the atmosphere is condensed and de-
posted on the cool surfaces. In warm
weather the deposit is dew, but in
cold weather it is frozen and becomes
frost. A frost can only occur when
| the surface temperature falls below
80 degrees, the freezing point of wa
ter. If the temperature be between 80
and % degrees it is light frost; If be-
low % it is a heavy or killing frost.
| Clouds impede the radiation of heat
| from the earth, thereby preventing
| it from cooling to the frost point,
and an enveloping fog or smoke may
do the same thing. Frost may occur
in the open country when town, pro-
! tected by a smoke cloud, is free from
it, and in a valley frost sometimes
occurs at the bottom because the layer
| of air cooled by, contact with the cold
| surface of the higher ground is heavier
and settles down. Wind will prevent
frost by keeping the air in motion and
thus preventing the deposit of mois-
ture.
