more for their wool clip than the
usual income through organization for
marketing, according to the report Of
the county agent office of the State
College extension division. The av-
erage prices received for the wool were
from so to 81 cents per pound, willis
previous to the work of the farm bu-
reaus, the prices offered to local farm
ers were 8 to 10 cents less per pound.
With the high price on hogs, shrunk-

as much as the governments guaran-
tee, says j. W. Wilson, professor of
animal husbandry at State College.
Professor Wilson bases this statement
upon the results of experiments on
Quoted at the College some years ago
in feeding 44-pound wheat in compari-

average daily gain per head of two
pounds, the good wheat producing

Muskrat Lore.

The feed of the muskrat consists of grasses, apples, bark of trees, water plants, carrots, turnips, cabbage and corn, and crayfish.
 Although millions of these brown colored rats are trapped each year for their fur, the number does not seem to decrease. When the fur is made in- to clothing it is called Russian mink or Baltic seal.
 One of the ways of trapping the muskrat is to set trap three or four inches below the surface of water in a place where he has been in the habit of leaving the water. In this way he will step into the trap as he under takes to leave the water. Still anoth- CT way is to place the trap just below the entrance into his home. Some trappers use apples or turnips as bait.
 The home quarters Is usually quite a large cavity and contains much grass and sticks. During the first two or three weeks of the life of the young the mother muskrat does not leave the home but depends upon the male to furnish the feed supply.

Films to Replace Books.

Motion pictures will take the place of textbooks in schools and colleges, according to Thomas A. Edison, in an interview recently. "The only text books needed will be for the teachers own use," declares the inventor of the motion picture camera. "A great film library of educational and indus trial subjects should be built up In Washington. Then these films could be issued on the rental system to all in- stitutions in the United States, even to the most remote rural schoolhouses, and the system could be so operated that it would pay its own way" As- serting that anything which can be taught to the ear can be taught better to the eye" Mir. Edison continued :: "The moving object on the screen, the closest possible approximation to real ity, is almost the same as bringing that object itself before the child or taking the child to that object. Film teaching will be done without any books whatsoever. The only textbooks needed will be for the teachers own use. The films will serve as guide posts to these teacher instruction books, not the books as guides to the films" By making ''every class room and every assembly hall a movie show, 100 per cent attendance" will be as- sured, Mir. Edison says. "Why, you won't be able to keep boys and girls away from school then"
