FARM BUREAU AN
NOUNCES PROGRAM
Projects Outlined at
SATURDAYS Meeting

The executive committee of the
[NeW Castle County Farm Bureau
met in the office of the Bureau of
Labor, Wednesday,, May /. The
meeting was called to order at 200
o'clock by President J, T. Shall
trOss. Secretary Mrs. Mary E.
pickey read the minutes Of the last
meeting. The report of the Secre-
fary on membership indicated that
gre was a decided increase in
Membership since the last meeting.
Several bills were allowed and the
Secretary was instructed to draw
bn the Treasurer for TIE same. The
Constitution and Bylaws Of the
Farm Bureau were gone thru and
bach paragraph discussed. The
whole Of the Constitution and BY
laws will be published in the
Bounty papers within the course Of
he next two weeks. 1t was decided
That future meetings would be held
t the call of the President, in the
B1Gce Of the Bureau of Labor. So
lar as possible, these will be held
Il Saturday afternoons. From the
reat quantity Of work that is upon
be executive committee, it is prob
pie that these meetings will be
eld at least once a month.
The following program Of work
Ehich was adopted at the final or
|antzation meeting Of the Farm
Bureau was discussed in detail by
be executive committee:

ROLL STEEL FOR $215 WEEK
Manv Workers In st. Louis Mills Az
erage $1,000 Year, OFF,
cial Says.

ST. Louis.-Rollers employed at the
st. Louis and Granite City plants Of
the National Enameling and Stamping
company are making as much as $215
n week, working eight hours a day, an
official of the company said.
He explained that rollers were paid
on tonnage basis, and that such fig
ure was unusual, but estimated that
many of the 175 rollers employed in
the two plants average $4,000 to $1,000
a year.
Rolling steel is one of the forms Of
labor requiring the highest degree Of
skill, although men sometimes serve
their apprenticeship in three or four
years. The work consists of superin-
tending the heating of steel bars that
are to be rolled, adjusting the rolls
and feeding the steel into them.

clear layer Is then drawn off for eva
poration. This process ~ to be pre-
ferred since heat hastens Qualification.
Evaporation.
A patent pan evaporation can be
bought on the market. DO not put too
much strip i'm the evaporation ut once
as n thin layer (about two inches)
makes quicker evaporation and al
lows the impurities to reach the sur
face more easily and less color is de-
veloped. If an ordinary gutter is
placed alongside the pan when Install
ed, the scum can be raked off into this.
In starting n patent evaporation have
water in all parts and heat this until
the Juice enters. The finished strip
upon cooling should have a moisture
content of not over 30 per cent. One
gallon should weigh not less than 11A
pounds. AS the liquid thickens the
boiling point is raised. Water at Ordi-
nary pressure boils at 212 degrees
Fahrenheit, while q sugar solution
containing not more than 30 per cent
Of water bOils at about 224 degrees
Fahrenheit. When the boiling point
changes from 212 degrees to 224 de-
grees the product Is ready to remove
from the fire. If an accurate thermo-
meter is placed in the boiling strip a
rough estimate of the density Of the
product can be made. In taking the
temperature do not allow the bulb of
the thermometer to touch the bottom
or sides of the evaporation or be eX-
posed above the surface of the liquid.
When the strip has reached the prop
er density II should be removed from
the fire and rapidly cooled. If cooled
II makes a lighter strip and better
grade. The strip can be placed in tin,
glass or wooden containers but these
should be well scalded before using.
Sorghum for Forage.
Since the foliage of sOrghums re-
mains green until the heads are ma
ture, fair quality of coarse forage
Is secured. The time of planting Is
the same as for strip, that is, ten days
TO two weeks after corn planting time.
Sorghum for forage is either sown
thick I'm drill rows about feet 6 inches
apart at rate of 10 pounds seed per
acre and cultivated, or sOwn with the
grain drill or broadcast at the rate Of
one bushel per acre. When cultivated
in rows the best method of harvesting
is with a corn binder and the bundles
set up in small shocks may be set to-
gether in a large shock and tied near
the top. When sown broadcast the
crop is cut with mower or grain bin
der and handled as coarse hay. When
cut with mower a stubble of six
inches should he left as this facilitates
drying and gathering the heavy fodder
with hay rake. Heavy sorghum hay
dries very slowly and should be left
for one or two weeks in swath before
raking and cooking and should be thor
oughly cured In cocks before stacking.
The average yield carries from a to
tons per acre.

Lieutenant Towle's men learn
camoufage from the defensive and
offensive points of view-how to
advance under cover and to defend
themselves under cover. They
have invented scouting and camou-
fluers' sharpshooters' suits which,
when worn by the soldier, make
him appear like a bit of the land
scape, as boulder. log. stump,
or a part of the foliage of a tree.
American women camoufeurs
are being. trained according to the
same method as the men, under the
Women's League for National
Service and under Lieutenant
Towle. Discussing their work, he
said:
There isn't any reason why the
women shouldn't do as we'll as the
men as camoufeurs-that is, in
making the materials behind the
lines. 1t isn't heavy work, but it
demands ingenious workers, skilled
in details.

members are young women who
are self-supporting. They are art
lists, architects, metal workers,
wood carvers, photographers, etc.
1t is an exceptionally versatile and
responsible group. They take a
three months course under Lieu
tenant Towle.
Each member of the class makes
and develops her own camouf1age
suit, according to her own ideas,
with the foundation of instruction
that she has received. Suits as
they have been constructed by the
girls so far are in one piece. like a
divers suit, with a hood covering
the head. A human face shows
white in the distance and the corps
is experimenting with wells as face
coverings.

California Climate

Many have claimed that the cool,
cloudy summers and springs we
have had of late in Southern Cali
fornia were due to a shifting of the
Japanese current. Some naviga-
tors have reported a decrease of five
per cent in the temperature of the
ocean, off the coast. Prof. David
Starr Jordon declares there is not
the slightest evidence of any
change in the Japan current in his
toric times. nor would it be possible
for the current to change except
with very marked change of the
confguration of the, coast.
The Japan current comes up
warm from the East Indies along
the coast of Japan, then goes north
ward to the Aleutian Islands, COOL
ing as it goes, then turning south
it comes as diffused wash of cold
water down the coast of California
as far as Point Conception, bring
ing cold water fish with it from the
North. At Point Conception it
turns away from the coast, leaving
the Channel Islands with much
warmer water than is found to the
Dorthward.
In California. along the seacoast,
there is certain amount of mois-
ture always present, temperatures
between 45 and IS deg, averaging
20 per cent relative humidity; IS
deg, so per cent; above 80 deg, 20
per cent. Evaporation increases
with the rise in temperature. for
the drier the air is the more it alb
serbs moisture.-Selected.

Tryon Hall, the old G. K. G.
Billings place on Washington
Heights. bought by John D. Rookie
feller, Jr., to be given, ultimately,
to the city for park, is the spot
chosen for the practical experiment
tai work by the women. Hither
they go with Lieutenant Towle to
try out their camoufage suits and
be photographed, wearing them,
in different positions, to see that
they blend with different colors of
the landscape and would be in
visible to the enemy not only on
the firing line but on the plates of
the enemy photographer.
This is the most serious work
that has been undertaken under
the auspices of the National League
for Women's Service. The mem
bers of the camoufage corps, of
whom there are 40, confidently ex-
pect to cross the water to assist in
the camoufage work at which
English and French women are
already busy.
They will not be accepted by the
government as regular workers and
enlisted for the service until they
have completed their training and
shown that they have made good,
but the fact that Lieutenant Towle
is on leave in order to instruct
them is sufficient proof that their
work will be considered.
There is no age limit, up or
down, for women joining the corps,
but each member must have had
some practical technical training
before she joins. This keeps from

with a path crossing over the roof
are like the side of the hill. Even
the gray, blue and red caisson
wagon moving along the road is a
blur of color. Canvases in triangu-
lar shape tied to the foot of the
telephone poles, outward and on
both sides, conceal the road. To
an observer on foot or in the air at
a thousand feet the hill looks de-
serted-an almost treeless plain
with no Distinguishing feature save
a neglected old path. Yet that
hillside harbors six dugouts, sever
al observation and listening posts,
men, cannon, machine guns, and a
network of telephone wires.
Beyond Yonkers there are trench
sections with mo Mans Land"
and its barbed wire entanglements
and dugouts. The trenches are
dug so deep that the heads of the
men do not show above the surface,
and the sod removed to dig them
is replaced. The openings of the
dugouts of the trenches are not, as
is sometimes supposed, far behind
the trenches. They are in the
trenches with the entrance on the
enemy side. Bombs may fall in
the mouth of the dugout, but sell
dom inside.
The obvious is sometimes as
good as the invisible" Lieutenant
Towle said recently. For instance,
the famous dummy fleet the British
used. Another camoufage to which
the Germans were dupes was red
cannon, scantily camoufaged,
placed by the British at the summit
of a hill. The cannon was visible
to every German scout flying over
it. but it seemed so obviously
fake that not single enemy bomb
was dropped on it. Yet it held it's
position for long time, and at
night poured it's stream of fire into
the enemy.
The same idea is carried out
by the American camoufeurs, who
model dummy men and guns for
decoys. The enemy air scout sees
a partly camoufaged cannon or
machine gun with its men bending
over it at work and the smoke
pouring from it's nozzle intermit-
tently. He cannot see, completely
hidden from view, real cannon
whose men are firing a deadly vol
ley from under cover, and whose
ammunition comes to them through
tunnels.
"Such experiments are being
made by the military camoufeurs
at Yonkers. There are other tricks
to be learned. for they also do
their own painting of army equip
ment before using it. Although
an ambulance or army truck may
not be entirely invisible on account
of the various backgrounds it must
pass, it can be mottled into
very poor target. In motion it
will appear as a blur caused by
heat rays, for it is notified in the
colors whose values constitute COL
lors which the suns rays would
make"
At first natural camoufage was
used almost entirely. A clump of
trees and brush hid whole ma
chine gun company, a group of
rocks harbored a listening post.
and a deserted mill might hold
regiment. But the enemy has
learned that even the trees and
stones hear," and a natural camou-
tagged refuge is never safe wholly
from air attack now. The most
innocent seeming object is never
theless an "object," and therefore
a target for the scout. whereas
perfectly smooth hillside. with no
distinguishing marks, may be al
most entirely undermined, and yet
not arouse suspicion.
