STAMPS BY LUNAR MEASURE
Governments Stickers for One Years
Use Would Make Strip 763, ,220
Miles Long.

Until within very recent years all
of our postage stamps were printed
for the government by private con.
Germ under contract by the year. Now.
adays they are turned out at the big
factory in Washington that makes
Uncle Sans paper money.
The work is better done and at Il
great saving There is a saving in ink
(Which is made on the premises)
there is saving in gum Qikewise of
home manufacture), and there is saw
ing of the profit that formerly went
to the contractor.
1t is a huge job. During the last
year the bureau of engraving printed
50,OOOO0O,OOO postage stamps. That
approximately was the number re.
quired by the 11O,OO0.OOO people of the
United States for mailing letters and
parcels-an average of 454 stamps for
every man, woman and child.
If all these 5O,OOO,OOO,OOO stamps
were placed end to end in one STRIP,
how far would the latter extend? A
small calculation will show.
If you started at one end of the strip
in q railroad train and travelled cOntin-
uOusly day and night at a speed of
sixty miles an hour, it would take you
nearly a year and half to reach the
other end. You would get there in 12-
72O hours. or $50 days.
This strip would be 1920 miles
long In other words, it would extend
from the earth to the moon, back to
the earth. then back to the moon again.
with enough of its length left to en-
circle the globe nearly twice at the
equator.
Spread out in a single sheet, the
5O,0O0,OOOO0O stamps representing
our annual requirement for mailing
purpOse) would cover 1915 acres, or
fourteen and twO-thirds square miles.
To make that number of postage
stamps requires 1,75O tons Of ink and
2,125 tons of gum.

Lame Sickness.

An investigation Of the South Afri.
can disease known as lemziekte, or
lame sickness, suggests that 1t Is due
to a special plant poison that is gen
Grated under abnormal conditions In
grasses or other plants that are nor
mally harmless. It's development
seems to be associated with unusual
weather and soil experiences Of which
summer drought is important. Through
such conditions, whiting would favor
the formation Of the poison, and this
explains the common belief that the
disease results from eating wilted
plants.

Trade Value in Gum Tree.

In the South, where the red gum
tree UiquOdambar styracif1ua) grows,
few are aware that the gum which ex.
udeS from this tree when its sapwOod
is wounded has commercial value,
says the American Forestry Magazine.
Of Washington Small amounts of the
dried gum have been used for some
time in the manufacture Of chewing
gum Storax is used in the manufac-
ture of perfumes, tobacco. adhesives
and pharmaceutical preparations, and
contains cinnamic acid and cinhamic
alcohol. both Of which are in demand.

CATTLE EXPERT
HERE NEXT WEEK
FOR MEETINGS

DR.. A. T. kinsley, conceded to be
the greatest authority in the country
on cattle and swine diseases, will DEM
onstrate over the block at the big
two-dairy demonstration meetings
which the farm bureau dairy commit
tee has arranged for Dec. 30 and 80
in Imperial Valley. Mr.. Kinsley's
lectures have attracted nationwide
attention and local farmers are look
ing forward with considerable eager
ness to see and hear this specialist.
Many dairymen who have been
puzzled as to proper crops to grow to
supplement alfalfa will be delighted to
know that Prof. P. B. Kennedy of the
office of foreign plant Investigations
of the University of California will
show samples of grasses and forage
plants to supplement alfalfa. Prof.
Kennedy is the best authority in the
state along these lines and much val
liable information can be gained from
his talk.
Prof. C. V. Castle of the bureau of
animal industry of the United States
department of agriculture, formerly
in charge of the famous University of
California herd at Davis, will speak on
Sow Testing" Prof. Castle has
charge of this work over the country,
and he will show why every dairyman
should join cow testing association.
In addition, Prof. Castle will talk on
Feeding Dairy Cows" Dairymen
can rest assured that this talk will be
worth going long distance to hear.
DR.. NJ. E. Mcdonald of the state de-
partment of agriculture, who has
spent much of his time in the valley
lately, and consequently is very ia
miliar with conditions here, will speak
on Some Simple Equipment for I'M
proving Dairy Conditions in Imperial
Valley" On account of his knowledge
of local conditions DR.. McDonald's
talk should prove exceptionally val
liable.
Farm Advisor E. L. Garthwaite,
who is helping the farm bureau dairy
committee to arrange these meetings,
says this is the finest bunch of speak
ers on dairy topics ever assembled in
Imperial Valley and urges every
dairyman or prospective dairyman in
the valley to attend these meetings,
Dec % and 80.

FARM DIRECTORS
DISCUSS LABOR

Farm Advisor E. L. Garthwaite, in
the absence of Frank Beal, member
of the county board of supervisors,
who was to appear before the board
of directors of the Imperial Valley
Farm Bureau and discuss the posi-
bilities of importing European labor
to take the place Of the japanese who
have been excluded by the recent vote
,of the people of the state of Califor-
MIA, presented in substance Mr.. BeaPs
plan during the afternoon session of
the directors, holding their monthly
injecting at the Barbara Worth hotel
yesterday.
CAS- | understand Mr.. Beal's plan,"
said the farm advisor, "it is not the
intention of the committee which has
asked to be appointed to go to Europe
and secure these families to take up
the work on the valley farms, but to
secure them from the immigration
station at Ellis Island on their arriv-
al"
Mike Libert of the Seeley farm
center did not approve of the plan.
Director Henderson then took the
floor and urged that the farms be
ildue more attractive Tor tne Amefl-
can farmer and the inducements
greater. In this case the importation
of any foreign labor would be unnec-
essary, he said
Chairman Clark took the same
stand.
A letter from George P. Clements
vice president Of the international
| Cotton League Of the West and secre-
tary OF the Los Angeles Chamber OF
Commerce, was received, asking the
local directors to approve the move
ment of importing Chinese coolies tc
replace the japanese.
