The custom Of using as seed potatoes

ly improved, say specialists of the Unit

The grower cannot expect to get max

any more than the dairyman can expect
to get maximum milk yields from scrub
cows. The best time to select seed po-
tatoes, according to the specialists. is
in tho fall when the crop is being har-

vidual plant and the quality of the tu-

Good seed is pure in respect to the

Tell the Age of Oceans

Washington.-How old is the ocean?
Standing on the shore and looking out
over the eXpanse Of water, the ocean
seems a fixed and eternal fact, but
the seas had beginning and will have
an end. Scientists say that when this
time comes the last drop Of water will
have been absorbed into the earth's
crust, its surface will be a desert and
all life will become extinct.
The age of the oceans have been
estimated by leading authority, Pro
fessor Frank Clarke of the United
States Geological survey, at about 90
100000 years. This, of course, is only
an approximation. but is based on
carefully studied scientific data.
All the water was once contained
in the vapor that surrounded the glow
ing, slowly cooling mass which is now
the earth. After the gases combined
to form water the process of making
the ocean salt began. This was the
work of the rivers. Mineral salts were
extracted from the rocks over which

Flowing with tractors presents some

DDS in general use are divided into
two classes-those in which the plows
are elevated and no blowing is done
across the ends, and those in which
the plows are left in the ground con-
tinuOuSly. In most cases better plOw-
ing can he done when the plOwS are
idle across the ends of the fields, and
for this reason the methods of this
class are more popular, but many
farmers prefer the other methods, as
they eliminate waste of time and Ia
Dor.
PlOwmen using tractors wish to re-
duce to a minimum the time spent

some travelling while the plOws are
Idle, care should be taken not to do
too much of it, as it reduces the num-
Der Of acres which can be plowed in
a day, making the tractor that much
less efficient. Short turns, however. are
awkward for most tractors, and where
such turns are necessary the operator
often has more or less difficulty in
getting the outfit in the correct posi-
ton for starting into the new furrow
ut the right point. Some tractors turn
more easily in one direction than 9TH
ers, and this should be taken into con-
sideration in laying out the fields.
Advantages Summarized.
The advantages of blowing by the
methods in which the plows are idle
across the ends of the fields are that
the short, awkward turns are elm
mated, except in some cases at the be-
ginning and ends of the lands, and
usually less spaces will be left at the
corners to be plowed with horses. The
advantage of the other methods are

its age is calculated. The amount of
salt carried by the rivers of the world
is computed by the scientists and COM

ocean. After evaporation and the We
locity of currents have been couSid-
cred, it is possible TO calculate how
long it has taken TO make the sea
water as salty as 1t is today.
About three and a half per cent of
mineral salts and 961s per cent fresh

great sensation In East Yorkshire

His fate is now brought afresh to

be considerably less.
In using the first-named methods it
Is necessary to measure the lands in
the center of the field accurately, leav-
ing an equal area on all sides of the
field in which to turn the outfit, and
which can be plowed last by running
the tractor completely around the field
several times. If one end of the field
is unfenced the outfit can he pulled
out into road or lane, or an adjon-
ing field. for turning. 1t may be
preferable to pillow up to the fence on
the two sides as the body of the field
IS being plowed, and leave the head
land only across the end of the field
which is fenced. The width of the
headland will depend largely on the
turning radius of the tractor. With
easily handled outfits it is not neces-
sary TO leave more than 10 or 20 feet.
Careful Flowing Saves Time.
If the field is to be finished up in
the best manner, with no irregular, IN
plowed strips between the land or at
the edges, it is essential that care he
taken to have the headland of the
same width clear around the field, to
have the distances measured exactly
when starting new lands, and to have
the first burrows as nearly straight as
possible. A little extra time taken in
measuring off the necessary distances
and setting plenty of stakes for guild
ance will nearly always be more than
returned in saving time at the finish.
If the tractor pulls three or more
pIowS, cutting total width of three or
more feet, some effort should be made
10 have the width of the headlands an
exact multiple of the total width Of
the pillow, so that the last strip across
the field will exactly cut out the land
or finish it to the fence. This will
do away with the necessity Of making
trip across the field. probably over
the plowed ground. to turn a narrow
strip which has been left unplowed

Keep 800 Job

with returns from five large states not
yet received, and those from none of
the other states complete, the Contiuu-
ance of PA employment offices already
is assured. Because of its limited ap-
preparation the federal employment
service is itself able to finance but
sixty Offices, and the outside support
for the other 200 offices will be CON
tinued until congress acts upon the
Nolan-Kenyon bills for a permanent
national employment service.
Welfare organizations and chambers

mobilization began also are continuing

John +. pensmGre. director general
Of the United States employment serv-
ice, predicted that when the returns
from the states are complete 1t will be
found that considerably more than
three hundred federal Offices viii be
open through voluntary contributions.
From the end of March To June 80, he
said, more than four hundred Offices
were kept in operation by outside
funds in expectation that after the
latter date the employment service
would be able to resume their financ
ing, but because of the reduced ap-
preparation for the new fiscal year, he
explained, continued support is being
asked for the next five months, within
which period, 1t is understood con-
