ly pointed out some striking illustra-
tons of how the available labor sup
ply could be used to much better adj
vantage If supplemented by ma
chinery; Of how some labor Is not
fully utilized because machinery Is not
used. On one farm In the corn belt
he saw two strong men, each with a
team of horses and a single moldboard
pillow, following each other around the
field. On an adjoining farm a seven
teen-year-old boy, driving four horses
to a two-furrow pillow, was doing as
much and better work. On one farm
two men with two horses to a wagon
were spreading manure with forks. On
an adjoining farm one man with three
horses to a manure spreader was ac-
complishing a larger amount of work

SCRATCHED RASPUTIN'S FACE

Mile. Vera Smlrnova Is known to
every Russian who has been In Petro-
grad within the last five years. Her
marvellous contralto voice had won for
her the most enviable position in
court life.
She was the lioness of the most ex-
elusive set of all of Russia, and she
was the idol of the peasants of that
Inflated country. Her rendition of the
Russian gypsy songs endeared her to
all.
Travelling In the set she did, she
was bound to come, sooner or later,
to the notice of that famed mystic of
all mystics-Rasputin, the Holy One of
Russia.
For long time the man who domi-
mated Russia even more than the car
himself, had cast covetous eyes ON the

Bad Product Not Wanted.

the case of very perishable crops, like
berries or lettuce, there are serious
losses of food because the shipments
carried plant diseases when loaded.
While no shipper would knowingly
load badly infected fruits or vege-
tables, such produce may reach the
markets in poor condition because the
disease was present when loaded and
developed in transit. This is espe-
cially true where shipments are made
without providing proper ventilation
or refrigeration.
Steps to Combat Disease.
Whenever shipments of produce suf-

inspectors Immediately notify the
shipper and through the Psychologists
of the department of agriculture the
county agent in the locality where
the diseased shipment originated is
instructed to take steps to combat the
