HEAVY CONSUMPTION

Big Increase Shown in Figures

Largest Percentage of Material Used

for High Figure Given.

the amount consumed In January is an
Indication According to figures of the
bureau of markets, United States de-

pOundes of virgin wool, grease equiva-
emit were consumed by manufacture
compared with 3S.200,000 pounds for
the corresponding month in 1919 and
65,1O0000 pounds in January, 1918.
The amount consumed was more
than the monthly average for either
1918 or 1919 and higher than any
month since May, 1918. The largest
percentage of wool used was fine,
which has a high grease content and
is, no doubt, partially responsible for
these high figures. AT the same time
it continues TO reflect the puhlic's in
siStence for fabrics composed of fine
woods. the consumption of fine wool
being the largest reported for any
month since the Inauguration Of the
monthly wool consumption report by
the bureau of markets.
The percentages of grades used are
as follows: Fine. 80 per cent; one
half blood. 1S per. cent; threeeighths-

it is not simple tapering to slender. point
ed summit like Full (Fujiyama) the great vol
cano of Japan 1t is rather broadly truncated
mass resembling enormous tree stump with
spreading base and irreguIarly broken top.
Its life history has been varied Like all
volcanoes, Rainier has built up its cone with the
materials elected by its eruptons-with Gin
ders and steam-shredded particles and Jumps of
lava and with occasional flows of liquid lava that
have solicited into layers of hard, basatic rock
At one time it attained altitude of not less
than 10000 feet, if one may judge by the steep
inclination of the lava and cinder layers visible
i in its TANKS. Then great explosion followed
that destroyed the top part of the mountain and
reduced its height by 1000 feet. .
Indian legends tell of a great eruption There
have been slight erupiOns within memory-one in
1913. in 1884, and in 1858 and the last
in 1870. Even now it is only dormant. Jets of
steam melt fantastic holes in the snow and ice
at its summit and there hot springs at lis
foot But it is entirely safe to visit Mount Raj
nier, further eruptiOnS are unlikely
Later on this great cavity, which measured
nearly three miles across from south to north was
filled by two small cinder Successive feeble
eruptonS added to their height until at last they
formed together low rounded dome-thef emf
that now constitutes the mountains summit
The higher portions of the old crater rim rise to
elevations within few hundred feet of the sum-
NIT and. especially when viewed from below stand
out bodly'as separate peaks that mask and seem
to overShadOw the central dome Especially prom
fnent Point Success Q4.I5O feet) on the south
west side and Liberty Cap Q4,112 feet) on the
northwest side.
The altitude of the main summit has for many
years been in doubt. Several figures have been
announced from time TO time, no two of them in
agreement: but al! of these. it is to he observed

DDS. In 1913 the United States. geological survey
in connection with its topographic surveys of the
Mount Rainier National Park made new series
of measurements by triangulation methods at close
range. These give the peak elevation of IA 4OS
feet. thus placing it the top of the list of
high SUBMITS of the United States. This last fig

by more than foot two, and may with some
confidence be regarded as final. Greater exact
ness Of determination is scarcely practicable in
the case of Mount Rainier. as its highest summit
consists actually of a mound of snow the height
of which naturally varies. n

SMALL FLOCK IN BACK YARD
Amount of Space Available
Table Scraps Good Feed

The size of the flock which can be
most efficiently kept will depend upon
the space available and the amount
of table scraps, or other waste avail
able for feed. Over-stOcking is a mis-
take. Better results will be obtained
from few hens in a small yard than
from larger number. poultry special
lists of the United States department
of agriculture say.
The backyard poultry flock rarely
should consist of over 20 or % hens,
in many cases of not more than s or
10. and occasionally of only or a.
For a flock of 20 to % hens a space
Of not less than % by 80 feet should
be available for yard. Where less
space is available the size of the flock
should be reduced, allowing on the
average 20 TO 80 square feet per bird.
A few hens are sometimes kept sue
ceSSfully with a smaller yard allow
ance. but if the space Is available
yard Of the size indicated should be
used.

When q bee loads up with honey It
carries readily half of its own weight
in nectar and it sometimes carries as

Bee studies at the Iowa agricultural
experiment station show that bee
requires about an hour for a round
trip while gathering honey. In
strong colony the bees will gather as
much as eight or nine pounds of honey
in a day under favorable conditions.

Perhaps your property has harm

common barberry or the purple-ieaved
variety among your clumps of bushes
or in the border
Your father or grandfather or some
ones grandfather may have planted
one bush or a whole hedge of bushes
from which the birds have scattered
seeds in all directions along streams
and in wood lots. You may have ac-
quired such property recently. At

any, dig them and report the numba
and location either TO your agricultur-
al college. or to the Office of cereal
Investigations, bureau of plant indus
try, United States department of ag-
riculture. Washington, D. c., so a rec
ord may be had of them. BY this
means those engaged in the eradica-
ton work can check back to see that
any sprouts overlooked are dug up.
Letters will be sent to persons making
the reports urging them to be sure
no sprouts were left in the ground.
Many Roots Missed
Even with the most careful digging
many small roots doubtless have been
missed. Seeds, too, may have been
shaken off and covered by loose earth.
Many of these no doubt will sprout
during the spring and summer. The
tender leaves of sprouts or seedlings
are even more likely to become infect
ed with wheat rust than leaves of ma
ture bushes. Sprouts, if allowed TO
remain, will soon grow into large
bushes. The work already done will
then be in vain.

TIME FOR CUTTING ALFALFA
Well Started is About Right
Saves Loss of Hay.

Usually al about the time alfalfa
is one-third or One-half in bloom, new
shoots begin TO grow out from the
crowns of the plants in preparation
for new crop. Sometimes this new
growth comes before the old growth
is in bloom. and sometimes only when
the stage Of full bloom is reached.
The time to cut alfalfa Is just when
this new growth near the ground is
well started; if cut sooner, the new
growth will be very slow in starting;
for the old hay stops growing when
the new growth gets well started.
