There has been no changes in the or der of procession and line of march, and 2.3O is the time designated by Marshal Everett E. Whipple for the starting of the procession. The 20 or more organizations, military, semi mil ifary. firemep and all civic organiza- lions, will form at the points assigned, including the women's division. Promptness on the part of the organ f1ations to participate will insure the starting of the parade at the selected time and to the minute. Saturday is a half holiday in all the manufacturing establishments and in trades general ly, therefore it is probable that the procession will be fully as large as if Before dismissal of the parade in Dixon square, Hon. Samuel H. Davis will deliver short address.

Old Idea of Gulf Stream,
Once Taught in Schools,
Changed by Later Study

1t is only by speaking loosely that
the shippers of several incoming ships
can say, as reported, that the presence
of many sharks along the coast was
due to a shifting of the Gulf stream.
What they mean was that the northeast
drift of warm water is greater than
usual, broader, perhaps, or closer in
shore, or possibly a degree OF two high
err in temperature than is customary at
this time in this latitude, says the New
York Sun.
The Gulf stream as a distinct cur
rent cannot be identified north OF the
thirty-secOnd parallel of latitude, which
II crosses between the Bermudas ana
the Carolina coast. There 1t dlNlueS
into small streams. The westerly winds
blow u6on it and break up its surface.
lis warm waters become mixed with
fine colder ocean and it becomes an ele-
mpur of the northeast. At the same
time the warm currents are recognlza-
l,ln ~; far north rs 10 degrees latitude,
II triGe south of New York; beyond ~
degrees north and 60 degrees west
longitude no test of temperature, salt
ness, color or motion serves to dlstln-
cuish them from the rest of the ocean
| drift.
Who does not remember having 1t
IMPRESSED on him in his schooldays
that the ministratlOns of the gun
strrnm alone made habitable the Brit
ish Isles? 1t is not true, as patient
| s,udy hns shown. The southwest
winds bring moisture from the ocean
to Europe, and this great blanket OF
moist air contains much more latent
heat than dry air at the same temper
oturn From the moist air come
| clouds. fogS and rain, which c0ndenSe
heat and water upon the Old World
and prevent the loss Of ground heat
nv radiation. That is why there IS
such a striking difference in temper
otures upon single line of latitude
cutting the two continents.
While the warm water flows north
east from the Mexican gulf the coid
water on the north is finding its way
southwesterly, deeper down. When
fine cold current strikes the troplcal
zone II becomes heated and rises 10

CIV TESTING PROVES
POPULAR WITH FARMERS
Tt's Is ExrIained ry the Fact That
Profits increase-What Cow-Test-
ing Associations Do.

(By C.. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee,
Knoxville.)
Where there are enough cows to
Justify the action CD the part of farm
ars. cow-testing associations are de-
sirable. Several communities are al
ready organized and have testers en-
ployed.
Conditions for a cow-testing associa-
ton are ideal when there are 400 COWS
in about % herds. Several Tennes-
see counties are coming up to this
standard.
A cow-testing association will dc
much for any dairy community.
1t furnishes an exact record of pro,
duction of each cow in the herd, with
a record of the cost of feed consumed
and the net profit per COW. About one
third of the cows in Tennessee are
kept at a loss. 1t enables one to weed
out the Improbable cows.
The records of production enable
one TO feed more intelligently and
more economically. 1t is a common
practice to feed all the cows in the
herd alike. Under these conditions
the poor cows will receive too much,
and the good ones will not get enough
The proper way is to feed each cow in
proportion to the amount of milk she
gives. When this practice is adopted
1t usually results in greater production
of milk at less cost for feed.
The tester is able to advise with the
owner each month in regard to the
most economical feed to use, and also
to balance the rati0ns for the owner
The members can cooperate in buy
ing cottonseed meal and other feed
stuffs in carload lots, thus effecting a
saving.
Cow-testing associations stimulate
community breeding, exchange o.
bulls, and a spirit of friendly rivalry
and foster a better social spirit in the
| community.
1t enables one to tell which are The
best cows from which to raise heifel
calves.
The cost Ia a trife as compared t.
the returns.
