GOLDFISH ARE RAPID GROWERS
Some Interesting Experiments With
Finny Revenue Producers.

The Norwegian director of fish
cries, DR.. Johan Horst, has just con-
.cluded some interesting experiments
designed to ascertain the extent of
the migrations of the cod and the
rate of its growth. as we'll as the
probable rate at which the supply is
being exhausted.
Last year he caught 2,4OO of the
fish, and after marking them, re-
turned them TO the sea Two hun
Idred and seventy-nine Of these were
caught again the same season, which
shows, of course, that the drain upon
the supply of cod is even larger than
has been popularity supposed.
4 The increase in the length of a
fish marked on May 2G and caught
on the 10Th of the following Fcbru-
AIRY was considerably over 100 per
cent. 1t was shown, too. that during
the period named the fish had trav-
eled fully LOO kiiomctcrs.
! AS a result of his studies Doctor
iHjorst is not inclined to pessimsm
as to the outlook for the industry.
While admitting that the proportion
of fish caught every year is extremely
large. he feels certain that the ra-
pidity of their growth and the extent
of their migrations are factors that
will prevent too serious drain upon
the supply, especially when the fish
eries are properly regulated by law

SOURCE OF RUBBER PRODUCT

Countries Supplying Crude Mate
rial Of Special Interest.

"Crudc rubber, its source of sup
ply and the conditions governing its
progress from the source to Ameri-
can tire factories, have been sub
jccts of especial interest in this coun-
try Of latc," said m officer Of tire
and rubber company recently.
Crude rubber is a vegetable prod
uct, gathered from certain species Of
tropical trees, shrubs, vines and
roots. 1t was first introduced into
Europe in 1888. 1t was first used
for pencil crasers and in waterproof
cloth, and, finally. in solution. in &C.

thereafter the development Of the
industry was rapid though the in

Rubber can today be divided into

that have grown wild and where
there has been no cultivation process.
Such trees and shrubs are found
mostly in northern South America,
Central America. Mexico, Central
Africa and BornCo.
The finest rubber in the world has
until recently been obtained from
the Amazon region Of South Amer
lea and is known as fine Para. For
over century this rubber has been
gathered in practically the same way.

Loans on Cotton
at 6 per cent

Last year the First National
Bank loaned money to EVERY
farmer who offered warehouse
receipts for cotton as security.
and by means of these loans
hundreds of bales of cotton were
stored and sold later at higher
prices which put thousands of
dollars in the pockets of our
farmer customers.
We do not advise the farmers
to store their cotton this year nor
do we advise them to sell at the
present prices. This is a matter
which should be decided by each
individual farmer according to
his needs and circumstances.
We are prepared however to
make loans, secured by ware
house receipts for cotton, to
those farmers who may wish to
hold their Gotten at Six Per Cent
Interest.
