Program for Those Persons Who
Think Santa Claus Deception
Should Come to End.

We have tried to work out little
Christmas program for those who OBJ
ject to Santa Claus. We respect the
opinions of all who think the decep.
ton should be stopped and feel that
we ought to help them to arrange q
disillusionized and thoroughly harm.
less Christmas-what you might call
"a germless and renovated and disin-
fected and veracious Joy season
which the children will take hold OF
with enthusiasm without in after days
wishing to upbraid their parents and
hiss at them. "You lied to usl"
We suggest, therefore, that the chill.
dren be called together on Christmas
morning by the governor and address
ed as follows:
kids: We shall now enjoy our gift
giving. l tore off few scads from my
roll the other day and handed them to
your mother. and she dived headlong
into the bargain counter food and for
two whole days appeared not again.
and when she did crawl out, battered,
jammed, ragged. torn, bruised and old,
she clutched to her bosom these few
gimcracks, fol-de-rols and highly un-
serviceable articles. We have placed
them upon these chairs SO as to divest
the business Of any stage effects that
might heighten the pleasure in any
way or give a false impression. You
are to understand that had to give
up for these things, and wish to for
get about 1t before ! feel real good in
side again, and with these few re-
marks we will now fall to, and you
want to be quick about 1t. for want
to read my paper In peace."-Judge.

WORMS SPIN CoLORED SILK

The United States government has
just set the seal Of its approval and
belief in one of the most remarkable
discoveries regarding silk since ST.
Ling, queen of China, found out
that the cocoon of a worm could
be converted into shimmering gar
ment for herself. This is the produc-
ton, without the use of dyes, Of col
ored silks, spun direct, in Is colors,
by the worms themselves.
The discovery, which deals with
the food fed to the worms before they
commence to spin their cocoons--
since they eat nothing after they
start spinning-was made in New Or
leans by DR.. Vartian X. Osigian, son
Of family of silk producers of Har-
poot, Armenia, who is now produc-
ing colored silks and experimenting
in other lines of sericulture within
the city limits of New Orleans.
The feeding formula is secret, in
so far as it concerns the production
of the colorss which range from the
natural snowy white to the deepest
black. All the colors are fast, and
far superior to the present-day dyed
silk Of commerce. One of the most
beautiful of all these silks is a rich,
deep gold in color, just as 1t comes
from the spinnerets of the worm. No
chemical is fed to the worms, states
Doctor Osigian, but the difference in
color is due to variations in quantity
and quality of food given before the
worm ceases eating and begins work
on its cocoon.
The matter of difference in produc-
ton, however, is an "open secret"
1t is due to a new food tree, produced
by the discoverer for the first time
in New Orleans. The tree is graft
of the mulberry on the Usage orange,
producing larger, more succulent
leaf than the mulberry tree, and one
of different shape. Feeding on leaves
from this tree, the silkworms pro-
duce from 600 to 500 yards more to
the cocoon.
AS soon as this cocoon is finished,
man interferes. Fed on the improved
hybrid mulberry tree, the silkworm
becomes nearly twice its ordinary size
and, in order to cover itself perfect
ly, must produce more silk. This is
the reason why the -silkworm
spins more yards Of fibre than the
smaller worm. Bisulphide of carbon
is passed through the cocoon as soon
as it is completed. II the moth were
to develop, 1t would ruin the
silk. Then the single strand of silk
Is taken unbroken from the cocoon,
by floating it In hot water, brushing
It over with q small broom, thus
picking up the loose ends. These ends !
are transferred to bobbins, operated
By machinery, which unwind q half

FIRST CHRISTMAS OBSERVANCE

II is said that Christmas was first
observed In the year 90 and that It was
not until the year 1877 that It was made
"a solemn feast. Pope Telesphorus de-
creed that It should be celebrated by
all Christians In that year. On one
early Christmas day the Roman En.
peror Diocletian. hearing that the
Christians assembled in their church
were engaged In celebrating the birth
Of Christ, commanded that the doors
Of the church be closed and the build
ing set on fire. This was done and six
hundred persons lost their lives in the
burning church.

most general use and which it is es-
peclally desirable to have tested are
the true clovers, such as red, alsikc
and crimson; alfalfa; such grasses as
TIM thy, orchard grass, fcscue grass,
blue grass, broom grass, and the mil
lets; cereals, rape, flax, vctch, and
corn. Much of the seed of these crops
except cereals and corn, is imported,
and widely variable grades are on the
market. Just now great deal of
clover seed is being imported from
Italy, and specialists believe that
much of it is poorly adapted to Ameri-
can conditions. The prevalence of
forelgn-grown seed in the market is
probably not generally recognized, but
1T is one Of the important elements

SEEDS ARE EXPENSIVE
SO BUY THE BEST
Every Farmer Should Control the One
Factor of Crop Production that is
Within His Power by Testing His
Seed--A Bulletin Tells How.

Red clover seed is selling at ap
proXlmately so cents q pound. At thai
price farmer can not afford to SOW
as clover seed anything that is not
clover seed. Half dollar a pound fo1
weed seed, chatf, and dirt is too high
price to pay for the privilege of be-
ing carclcss-particularly as seed
testing is comparatively an easy and
wholly an inexpensive operation.
There is but one factor in crop pro-
ductlon over which the farmer has
absolute control. Sunshine and mois-
ture are matters that are wholly be-
yond his power Of influence. Mcasur-
ably, he can control culture, but too
much rain or too long a drought at q
critical time may place even that be-
yond his power. But. no matter what
happens the farmer can be sure that
he is planting good sccd-thc kind of
seed, that gives Il fair chance. will
producc q full crop. lie can not af-
ford to handicap himself at the out
set by planting adulteratcd or dead
seed-thc kind of seed that can not
make full crop no matter how favor
able conditions may be.
Labelling of Seeds Promised.
The sale of seeds, in many States, is
regulated by law, the seller being re-
quired to make certain statements as
to quality, but the law is not appli- |
cable to seeds that go into interstate |
commerce. In order to n ,et this diff |
ficulty SO far as possible, the Secrc- |
tary Of Agriculture, in 1917, asked |
representatives Of the seed trade to
meet III Washington and secured the
consent of most of them to Il sugges-
ton that seed men label all farm
seeds sold in lots Of 10 pounds or
more, the label to show percentage of
pure seed, percentage of gcrmination.
and date of termination test. In some
cases the agreement was not lived up
to, but the matter has again been
called to the attention of seed men
and many of them have again an
nounccd that thcy will fully label all
farm seed they sell
Practically all large seed houses
now have facilities for testing the
quality of all lots of seeds that thew
buy and sell. They have, therefore.
the information that the farmer needs
and ne should insist on being given
