1920, says: 80.

miles wide, forms the northeastern

doubtedly her coasts yer frequented
by Norwegian rovers as early as the
tenth century, and we even have it on
the authority of the Flemish geo.
graphers that the island was discover
ed and named by Basque fishermen
who crossed the Atlantic in pursuit of
whales a hundred years before the
voyage of Columbus.
Whether or not one credits them
with so early a discovery, it is IN
doubtedly to the seafarers of the Bas-
que provinces that Cape Breton owes
her name-perhaps the oldest name in
North American geography.
1t is from the voyages of the Ca
bots, however, that Cape Breton dates
her history. The highland to the
north of the island is now generally
agreed to have been the landfall of
John Cabot-the first sighting of
North America of which We have rec
ord. Peter Martyrs account of the
voyage of the younger Cabot in 1893,
when the island was claimed in the
name of "King Henry" shows that a
landing was made on these northern
shores at least a year before Column

continent.
Columbus Came After Others
Columbus left Palos, Spain, August
3, 1892, with three ships and landed
on the small island, San Salvador
October 18th. On his second voyage
he landed at Jamaica and Hayti. II
was not until his third voyage in 1893!
that he touched the main land OF
South America, neal the mouth of the
Oronico river. All thought Columbus's
discoveries we're a part of India.
1t was Amerigo Vespucci, a Floren-
tine navigator, who reached the east
coast of South America, in 1899, re-
turned to Europe and made known the
facts that the discovery was not In
dia, but a new continent. Hence
America is named for him.

KEEP AUTO TIRES
r p INITIATED

Seventy-five per cent OF all automobile
tires are damaged by being run with
out proper imitation, according to the
engineering division of Iowa State col
lcge.
Tires should be pumped up so that
they carry 20 pounds pressure per
square inch for every inch OF diameter
of the tire. The only sure way to tell
tho pressure of a tire is with the use
of a gauge test. Such as kicking, feel
ing or noticing the manner of its rest.
ing on the road are not good indica
tons. A reliable gauge Is a good in
vcstment.
Soft tires break their fabric easily
when they strike a sharp obstacle in
the road, while d properly inflated one
passes over it with but little damage.
The idea that tires should carry less
pressure in hot weather is all wrong
say the engineers, since when the, tire
is soft there is more damage done by
heat and contact than could be done
by a little extra initiation. a tire gen.
orally blows out when heated due to a
former crack in the fabric when it was
not properly inflated
See that valves are in good shape or
they will allow the escape of air and
then the tire becomes soft before the
driver notices it. The easiest way to
test the valve is to turn the wheel so
that the valve stem is at the highest
point and then immense it in a glass OF
water. If bubbles appear in the water
the valve leaks.

RID HOUSE OF SMALL
faS DESTG .E

The home economics division of Iowa
State college have given out the fol,
lowing rules to help the housewife in
her annual battle with the rcd ant or
common ant that infects the pantry.
The best way to rid the house of
these pests is to locate the place they
are coming from. Usually nest can
be, found and this can be destroyed by
putting kerosene on it. II the nest
cannot be located one good way to trap
the invaders is to satuartc sponges with
syrup and borax. This kills them when
they come to get the sweet. Also a So
luton of arsenic and syrup will de-
stroy them, but care must be taken not
to leave it where children will get it.
Another tried method is to put a sat.
uratcd sponge, containing sugar and
sodium arsenate, in a glass jar with a
perforated cover. The ants will collect
in it, especially if placed on a runway
where they have been travelling.

HOG PRODUCTION IS
V,ESSENEn

Hog production in Iowa will be re
| duced so per cent this year, due to loss
es this spring, say animal husbandrI
experts at Iowa State college. The
cold, rainy weather has caused many
farmers to lose the greater portion OF
their pigs before they could get then
started.
Iowa did not breed as many sows
as usual, due to the high cost of corn
so that the pig crop shortage will be
greater than before.
Pigs should not be kept confined in a
pen, for that makes it easy for disease
to attack them. They should be given
a. good run and plenty of chance for OK
ercise.
One way to prevent considerable trou-
BILE is to put them on q good pasture.
The best pasture is q clover or alfalfa
field and pigs get the most good from
it. However, blue grass or a rye field
will serve the purpose. A grain ration
should be fed along with the pasture.
An acre OF common pasture will serve
two sows and their litters,s while an
acre of alfalfa will handle three or four
sows and their filters throughout the
season.
Where corn is used to supplement the
clover or alfalfa pasture. about two
pounds per hunderd weight should be
fed. Rye or blue grass pasture needs
some protein feed as tankage along
with the corn allowance. Those who
are in touch with the situation believe
that prices for swine will run high this
fall because of this pig crop shortage.

THE FARM NEWS
SPECIAL PAGE DEVOTED TO THE FARMING
INTERESTS OF CRAWFORD COUNTY
RINDER IRVINE CHEAPER

According to reports sent out by the
Bureau of Plant Industry, of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
the wheat growers need have no appre-
hcnsion as to the supply Of binder Irvine
this season. Indications are that there
will be a plentiful supply Of this com
modify available for the American farm
err Not only will it be plentiful, but it
is likely to be cheaper this year than
for some years past.
Yucatan---thc chief and cheapest
source of henequcn, from which the
Irvine is made-produced a large crop
this year; which, coupled with the ter
mination of control Of prices by the
Commission Reguladora, was response
bic for a drop in the price of fiber from
Is to 10 cents a pound in March. The
price is now reported to be 8 cents a
pound. This reduction should be re-
flected in the price of tWinc this season.
* Thus far the recent revolution in
Mexico has not affected the henequen
industry of Yucatan and Campeche, the
two important fiber growing states of
that country. 1t is too late now for any
disruption of this industry to affect
seriously the supplies of Irvine for this
years harvest, as practically all the
fiber necessary for the present needs
have already been imported to the
United States. ls
y Although there is no danger for this
years Irvine supply, officials of the de-
partment of agriculture are somewhat
apprehensive over the effect of the low
prices for fiber prevailing now will have
upon the production of henequen dur
ing the next few years. Low prices,
according to reports to the department,
are leading the growers in Yucatan to
reduce their planting, with the result
that Il real shortage of the fiber five or
six yearsshence, is very likely posi-,
