Georgia State Champion Pig
Raiser Was 11-Year-Old Boy;
Youngsters Start Hog Farms

Swine worth half million dollars
We're raised by Georgia pig club men,
bers during 1918. Four years. ago
there were no pig clubs in the state,
but under encouragement from the
College of Agriculture and the United
States department of agriculture S.67S
boys in Georgia are now enrolled in
these organizations. Their beneficial
effect on the swine industry of the
state may be judged from summary
recently received by the department
from its pig club agent in Georgia.
Outstanding progress is reported as
follows:
THE Increase in final value of hogs
raised by pig club boys in 1918 over
those in 1917 was more than SO per
cent. Pig club boys won 40 ribbons
and $505 in prizes in the open ring ut
two Georgia fairs. The increase in
number Of pure-bred hogs raised by
pig club boys in 1913 over 1917 was
more than 306 per cent. The state
champion was the eleven-year-old son
of one-horse farmer who bought his
pig at an auction sale for $3.50. She
Is worth $500 today. Six pig club
boys in one county will start hog
farms this year. All of them began
with one small pig"

outlined here at the annual meeting Of
the United Waist League Of America,
attended by delegates from all parts

Samuel A. Lerner, president Of the

ment would have the support not only
of the waist manufacturers, but of the
dress manufacturers, milliners and
other producers Of woman's wear.

PLAN TO MAKE
OIL FROM SHALE

a heavy, thick, dark OIL resembling in
many ways the petroleum known as
fuel Oil; and it may be used as such.
These crude oils vary, as may be sup
posed. according to the shales from
which they are produced. They smell
more like asphalt than petroleum.
An immense amount of gas is liber-
ated by the distillation. Some enthusi-
asts believe this gas will be a sufficient
fuel supply for the retort furnaces, but
In this the chemists do not agree. The
idea savors too much Of perpetual mo-
ton. Important by-products are paraf-
I'm and ammonium sulphate. 1t is also
considered probable some form of COM
mercial fertilizer will be obtained.
Several bona f1de experimental shale
reduction plants are now being con-
structed in the three states mentioned
Chemists of the bureau of mines
are agreed that the greatest hindrance
that could occur to the legitimate de-
velopment Of shale oil industry in the
United States would be any extensive
"wildcatting"; that is, selling of stock
in imaginative shale oil plants, or
even In plants to be erected by unin-
formed persons and which may be
held out to be practical commercial
ventures. A shale oil plant is an ex-
pertinent in this country at the present
time. nothing more.
In order to encourage legitimate and
practical experimentation, an effort
will be made to induce congress to
make an appropriation to assist re-
sponsible companies.
Let the fact be clearly stated that
manufacture Of oil from shale must
be, so far as is now known, one of the
greatest industries in years to come.
Plants which are understood to be ex-
perimental are perfectly. legitimate
now. They are good businesses. But
evidences of wildcatting are abundant,
and they will tend to discredit the en-
tire business and cause 1t to be looked
upon for long time, perhaps, as a
gamble, just as wildcat mines and oil
wells have caused many people with
money to invest to view all such
propositions with suspicion.

Half-lnch Spider Is Victor
Over Fish Two Inches Long

The amazing strength of spiders is
shown in a number of instances. Thus
We have an instance of half-ineh
spider catching a two-inch fish. 1t was
of the ground or wolf family. A sci
enlist came upon it struggling with a
fish on the edge of little pool. Its
claws were buried In the fish's tail !;
1t had the tail out Of the water, but
the head still remained underneath.
The spider struggled to pull the fish
up the bank and the fish struggled des-
perately to pull the spider into the wa
ter For ten minutes the scientist
watched this silent and deadly fight.
Then he hurried away for bottle in
which to put the combatants when he
captured them. He was gone about
half an hour, and on his return the end
had come. The fish was dead and the
spider was slowly dragging its victim
away.

to come, to supply increasing demands
for and lessened supply Of petroleum
and its products. Salt Lake City seems
to be the natural center for expert
mentation and exploitation of an in
dustry which is not yet born in this
country, although manufacture Of oil
from shale has been conducted on q
years.
In Colorado, Utah and Nevada, east,
west and south Of Salt Lake City, are
shale deposits of unknown magnitude,
and of richness surprising that Of
shales known elsewhere. Oil shale Is
common and general term for sew
eral different geological formations
different in appearance and in gum
content.
Without attempting any elaborate
description, 1t will be sufficient to say
that the Colorado deposit Is found in
dense masses of black rock. often with
considerable fossil content. Some
southern Utah shale appears In broad
strata two or three inches thick, light
gray in color, and may be extracted
and handled like great planks, while
the Nevada deposit pronounced rich
est of ally appears in sheets rarely
more than half an inch thick, of fine,
even texture resembling an oil stone
and dark brown in color. 1t Is readily
broken, even with the fingers.
Different Productive Methods.
Chemists say different methods of
reduction will be necessary in the
concentrating rock. A greater part
OF all experimentation by competent
persons in the United States has oc-

small shale reduction plant was built
at the university about year ago. II
Is not used now, nor did its use ever
have any special Significance. To be
even more plain, the fact of this small
retort having been built ut the univer'
sity was seized upon by some pro

considerable advertising matter has
been circulated regarding an Indus
