Explosion of the Sun Is
Predicted by Astronomers

Learned astronomers. who study the
heavens Just as carefully as the aver
age fellow does the innermost recesses
of his pocketbook before pay day, are
intent upon adding to our load OF
worry burdens. They-some OF them
believe the sun is going to explode.
One of them, writing in Popular AS
tronomy, points to the fact that our
sun is of advanced age, and predicts
it's finish as the leading figure in our
solar system. He finds that our sun
has contracted 100000 miles from
each side, thus giving it's hot center
1S6, 100000 miles less of room. SO you
see the suns center is rather crowded
for space.

Sandpaper Label Simple
Plan to Avoid Mistakes

Perhaps the simplest of all devices
for protecting people from taking doses
from poison bottles by mistake is the
,sandpaper label. The actual label,
with the usual skull and crossbones,
lis pasted on piece of sandpaper large
enough to go all around the bottle. so
THAT when you take up the bottle in the
night, no matter how dazed from sleep
you may be. the rough, unfamiliar feel
Iof the sandpaper rouscs you, and you
Recognize at once that the bottle con-
Trims poison of some description. The
printed label will tell the kind OF
tDOison in the bottle.

Fox Raising Real Industry.

An industry that was begun some
years ago as hobby, that of fox farm
ing, has now grown into real indus
try profitable to those engaged in it.
In all the provinces of Canada and in
many OF thewnorthern states fox-rais-
ing is carried on extensively. The Jap.
anese and Norwegians also are devel-
oping this idea, having suitable cli-
matte conditions for the raising OF
foxes for the fur market.

Animal Diseases.

Animal diseases, such as hog chol-
era, the foot-and-mouth disease, etc.,
are costing the farmers and the gen.
eral public an enormous sum each
year, although agricultural leaders
have been waging an effective fight up
on such epidemics. Ultimately the
farmers will be enjoying the use
of about $2OO,OOO,OOO which they now
lose each year through these causes.

seed Wheat Must Be Famed.

Premature ripening of early vari-
ties in many sections together with
the ravages of disease in both late
and early varieties has resulted in
great amounts of shriveled and un-
developed grains which are unfit for
seeding, and it is Of the utmost i'm
portance that we take cognizance of
the condition in our preparation for
the 1920 crop.
Most of the diseased and shriveled
kernels may be removed by thorough
tanning. Feed the tanning mill
slowly and either give seed wheat
several fannings or increase the
speed of the fan, not the shaker, by
placing a smaller pully or gear on
the fan shaft. Even with the best
wheat one fourth of it should be re-
moved by the tanning and no wheat
should be planted that has not been
famed.

WOULD PROTECT FISH.
Finny Tribe In Maryland Waters
Being Depleted.

F1nny TT1DG In Maryland waters
Being Depleted.
The Maryland Conservation Com
mission is working to replenish the
supply of shad, herring, white fish,
yellow perch, catfish, sunfish and
bass. The work is under the direc-
ton of J. P. Snyder of the United
States Bureau of Fisheries, who, in
his statement of the products of the
fish hatcheries, declares that there
are millions of fish eggs which have
escaped their enemies and are de-
veloping into the secondary stage,
floating on the waters of the Chesa-
peake bay and its tributaries.
In his report Mr.. Snyder points
out that owing to the work Of IRE
sp0nsible fishermen and the poison
ing of streams by factories the fish
supply of Maryland waters is in dan
ger of depletion. In order to over
come this he advocates the licensing
of fishermen with the provision that
licenses shall be recalled if the fish
ermen are found guilty of using
illegal methods or killing small fish.
He added that fish culture can be
made profitable under proper condi-
tions.

The Wheat Situation.

Premature ripening of early vari-
cites in many sections has resulted
in great amounts of shriveled and
undeveloped grains which are unfit
for seeding purposes.
Half of Maryland's wheat crop was
in the field during the long spell of
wet weather following harvest.
Between IS and 500 of the
wheat sprouted and molds develop
ed. resulting in loss of about
$5,OOO,00O.
Little OF this wheat will be fit for
milling purposes though it may be
used for feed if properly handled.
Diseases such as smut, scab, etc..
have been especially prevalent, caus-
ing losses approximately $4,000, 900.
Let's all work together to make
the best of bad situation, first. by
notifying the County Agent of any
available sound seed wheat; second.
Dy employing such preventive meas.
ures In the treatment OF seed to
eliminate diseases in the 1920 crop
as are available; third, by utiIizing
IN every possible way all grain unfit
Tor commercial purposes; fourth. by
RAINING out the undeveloped and dis
eased grains from wheat used for
seed; fifth, by seeding as nearly as
possible to the correct date indicated
on the seeding map.
