SUNSHINE A GERMICIDE.
Tests Show That Germs OF Disease
Can Not Survive When Exposed to
tho Sun.

Sunshine Is an amazingly potent
germicide for the farm housekeeper
and the dairy and stables. The prac-
tice OF exposing cooking and other
utensils used in connection with food
TO direct sunlight makes use of this
fact. although comparatively few ap-
preciate exactly the work done by the
sun In this regard. Probably only
those who are acquainted with tests
which have actually been made real
ize how quickly sunshine kills disease
germs exposed to IL. Hence the fol-
lowing tests may be generally instruc-
tive and interesting.
A pastry. creamy mass Of tubercu-
lous material. which was proved to
contain uncountable numbers OF viru-
lent tubercle bacilli. was obtained from
tuberculous COW and spread I'm thin
smooth translucent layers on sheets
OF glass, pieces Of wood. and strips of
muslin. Some OF the sheets of glass,
pieces OF wood. and strips OF muslin
were then placed outdoors on a mod
erately warm. clear calm day where
the sun could shine on them, and an
equal number were placed in a dark
room. After Is minutes exposure to
the sun, the tuberculous material on
the glass. wood. and muslin still con-
tained large numbers OF living, viru-
lent tuberclo bacilli, which were prov
cd 20 De fully capable or causing tu-
berculosis, hut after 80 minutes ex-
posurc 20 the sun no liviug tubercle
bacilli could he found; every test that
could bo made proved that they we're
all dead.
Similar tests with quite large opaque
masses OF tuberculous material, larger
and denser than any tuberculous per-
son Is apt TO expectorate, proved that
the bacilli In such masses on glass are
still alive after 4. but entirely dead in
less than s hours. and still alive in the
material on wood and muslin after s,
but dead In less than 16 hours.
The tuberculous material in thin
layers on glass. wood, and muslin,
kept in a dark room. was proved TO
contain fully virulent, living tuberclc
bacilli after so days. The contrast Is
remarkable. tubercle bacllli OF the
same kind. on the same kind OF ma
In hox OF
minutes In the sunshine than the
number OF days they remained alive in
n dark room.
As most varieties OF disease germs
are more easily destroyed by germl-
cides than tubercle bacilli. and as tu-
bercle bacilli. in tho thin layers in
which they are likely TO adhere to
clothing. blankets. rugs. draperies, fur
niture. walls. floors. etc. are killed by
the rays OF the sun In less than half
an hour, though they remain alive in
dark places a month and longer, 1t Is
reasonable to draw the following con-
clusions:
(a) As general sanitary principle
IL Is desirable that all dwellings,
stables. etc. should be so constructed
that an abundance of sunshine can
reach their interiors.
(b) As a general protective meas
ure against disease germs. 1t Is an ex-
cellent practice to expose utensils for
handling milk, and milk cans afte.
they have been cleaned. to direct sun
light. and TO hang or spread wearing
apparel. blankets. bedding. rugs. horse
blankets. etc, periodically where the
sun can shine on all parts OF them.

TEACH FARMING IN SCHOOLS
Extension Department. of Clemson
College Will Cooperate With Rural
Schools Of State.

Clemson College, Nov. 22.-The
extension division Of Clemson col.
lege, at the request of the State su.
perintendent of education and the
county superintendents' State asso.
citation, has entered into an agree.
ment to cooperate with the educa.
tional forces of South Carolina ir
teaching agriculture in the public
schools of the State. The division
has issued bulletin No. IL, School
Room Work for Club Members and
Others outlining the character OF
work to be done and naming the bull
letins and texts necessary to the
execution of this cooperative agree
ment.
The extension division has also
prepared supplementary text book
in agriculture, with special reference
to South Carolina conditions, and the
State superintendent Of education
has agreed to have this text publish
ed and sold at actual cost by the va
rious county school book deposit
tories. This text book. agriculture
for School and Farm" has received
hearty Endorsement from educators
and others in this and other South
ern States as an appropriate book
for study by pupils, teachers and
farmers. The book is in catechism
form, appropriate for use in the
sixth and seventh grades, and any
teacher, whether agriculturally train
ed or not, can teach it and learn
something of the subject at the same
time.
In addition to class room work, a
miniature farm is to be conducted
on or near the school grounds for
teaching the arts as we'll as The
science of agriculture.
The essentials alone will be taught
and only short period each day
will be required to teach, even in the
sixth and seventh grades, principles
which. If put into practice judicious-
ly, will revolutionize tho agriculture
of the State within five years, double
yields, and cut fertilizer expenses at
least i'm two.
Clemson college will provide a su-
pervisor OF agricultural instruction
in the public schools. He will work
in close cooperation with the public
educational forces Of the State in in
PRODUCING and developing this work
in the schools.
1t Is realized that only small
percentage Of the public school pop
ulation would or could ever receive
such training otherwise, from lack
of opportunity or desire or both to
attend college. 1t is proposed, there
fore, to digest the subject Of scien-
tific agriculture and to give it to all
the children in a sort of emulsion
form ready for assimilation, and for
practical application. In this way
1t is hoped to prepare them for their
life work directly, or for higher edu-
cation, should such be desired or
available.

Cooperative Marketing
for Hawaiian Pineapple

" MARKETING division to assist
~ pineapple growers has been or
ganized by the U. s. Department of
Agriculture's experiment station In
the Hawaiian Islands. Prices which
Gamers have been offering for pine
apples are less than the cost of pro-
duction. The Hawaiian pineapple
grower today has to expend from $12
to SIS per ton to produce his fruit,
whereas the price offered by the can
ners range from SIS to $11 per ton for
first-grade pineapples and one-half
these prices for second-grade prod
ucts. As result the small grower
is now seeking market for his fresh
fruit in the United States. However
the business of shipping can hardly
be carried on satisfactorily without
organization and it is to help out in
this connection that the new division
has been organized, according to the
latest report of the Hawaii expert
ment station.
1t is also suggested in the report
that better arrangements could be
made If there were a branch of the
marketing division in San Francisco
which should act as a central office
for fresh pineapple shipments. This
office could undoubtedly prevent the
succession of bare and flooded
markets which has characterized the
previous condition of pineapple ship
ments.
The same office could also do val
liable service in handling Other
Hawaiian products, such as sweet po-
tatoes, onions, bananas, beans, coffee
cocoanuts and kukui nuts. The las
mentioned product Is particularly val
liable on account Of its large oil con
