Isolation Of Seed Plants

A farmer who wishes to make real

variety. should plant the seed in sep
arate plat removed mt least 300 yards
from other fields of cotton or separat-
I'd therefrom by 20 or 80 rows of corn.
An isolated planting does not provide,
of course. for close comparison with
the local variety, but this can be made
in the following year to much better
advantage. with the larger stock OF
seed then available, ield Planting
can be made, as well as test plant

conditions.
The distribution of seed of superior
varieties of cotton is no longer linn

$ PLAN TO END WAR
 IN EUROPE

George Max Esterly has an ingen- ious plan for routing the enemy from the trenches in the European war. He says that water is more effective than powder and having had considerable experience in mining knows whereof he speaks According to his idea the expense would be comparatively small in comparison with the vast sums of money that are being shot away by the artillery and the results would be more effective.
 MT. EsterIy says that, on his min ing claims in the Nizina district that under an eighty pound working press ure he can throw a six inch stream of water two hunderd feet. He believes that if giants were placed in the tren- ches, say 500 feet apart, or ten to the mile, that with ten inch no~zles under 200 pound pressure, enough water tOull bE Ntlll llllo tue AlliP o4 i.lN ttAF" my with sufficient force to not only food and bury the troops, but also to clear the ground and put it back into condition for agricultural purposes. If lakes are available 8 hydro electric plant could be installed but if not the power could be transmitted from any distance necessary. These plants, Mir. Esterly argues. would be useful even after the war ends, whereas all the powder and shells now used are a total monetary loss.
 Of course it remained for an Alas kan to devise some new, effective anr inexpensive kind of warfare for the Europeans to adopt in case they want to end the present war in hurry.

SIMPLE COLDS OF CHILDREN.

1t seems as if some catch a new cold
every few days. II they are strong
and rugged they may throw it off but
it is risky to trust to luck. Better
give it quick treatment and don't take
any chances of ITS getting worse. be-
cause II you do the child may be laid
up sick and you will have a lot Of
worry and doctors bills.
Best way to rid the child of the cold
is to give it few drops of Johnson's
Anodyne Liniment on teaspoonful of
sugar Give it about every four
hours. The children like it. too. And
it sure does stop a cold quick.
You've heard Of Johnson's Anodyne
.Liniment probably ever since you were
a child yourself.
Maybe you didn't know that the
recipe was discovered by a doctor. old
Doctor Abner Johnson, Yankee doc
tor down in Maine.
He made 1t to stop pain and increase
the circulation. It's so safe you take
it inside for a cold or rub it on outside
to stop pain. And it does the work.
5 So whenever you need a liniment for
sAnything use Johnson's Anodyne Lini-
ment. You can buy 1t most any place
where medicine Is sold.

Stream Measurements in the North
Atlantic Coast Drainage Basins.

The measurement of streams was
begun by the United States Geological
Survey in 1883 in connection with Spe-
clal studies of water for irrigation, and
since 1895 the appropriations by Con-
gress for the Survey have each year
included an item for gaging the
streams of the country. Measurements
of flow have been made at about
5000 points in the United States and
at many points in small areas in Sc
ward Peninsula and the Yukon-Tan-
ana region. Alaska. as well as in the
Hawaiian Islands. In this work many
private and state organizations have
co-operated, either by furnishing data
or financial assistance. In July, 1913
about 1880 Saging stations were being
maintained by the Survey and the CO.
operating organizations. and many
measurements of discharge were made
at other points.
\ report on the North Atlantic coast
basins, just issued. represents the re-
suits Of cooperative work between the
Federal Survey and the States Of
Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts. and
New York in 1918. 1t gives the re-
suits of investigations OF the streams
that enter the Atlantic from St Croix
River. Maine, TO Rappahannock River
Va. which discharges into the lower
end of Chesapeake Bay, and includes
also the measurements of flow of St
John River, which reaches the ocean
through the province of New Bruins
wick. The records include descriptions
Of the stations at which the measure
me1ts were made and table of gage
heights and daily and monthly dis
charge.
The report. published as Water-Sup
ply Paper 55l, is highly technical in
character and has no interest for the
general reader but will be useful to en-
sineers and others interested in the
utilization Of the streams. Copies
