Early Picking
Worth $50 an Acre

Ten acres of cotton picked at the
proper time in the fall from October
LIST to November LIST may yield as
much as Is acres on the same cotton
picked in january, according to the
specialists who have been conducting
farm studies in the South for the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture
On farm in Arkansas an acre of
Boykin cotton harvested in the period
between October LIST and November
list is worth $12 for line and seed.
In January an acre of an equally good
crop of the same variety was worth
only $106. Express cotton gave $193
per acre in October. but in January
the crop was worth only SIP.
The result of delayed picking is
chiefly a deterioration in grade and
quality. For example, in a case where
October first cotton rated as strict
low middling," while on January 21st
the same variety classed as good or
binary" only.

A Lack

Sometimes l am afraid l lack real
sense of humor, although / have been
able, in time, to see the funny side
of it when knocked down a hornets
nest | thought wasn't loaded; when a
waiter split hot soup down my back at
a banquet; when l sat down on new

Imy new white fiannels; when l was

Again Dubbs sighed.
But, at the final test, I always fall
short. I'll be jiggered if can laugh

How Beetles Travel

In considering the case of a fero-
cious beetle, imported not long ago
for the purpose of wiping out de-
structive caterpillar, much was held
to depend upon the ability of it's larva
or grub, to travel a long distance in
search of food.
The question was on the "staying
powtr," on which largely hung the
prospect of survival and successful
distribution of the species.
To decidt it, resort was had to a
novel expedient, vigorous young
grub biting placed upon a roll of paper
spread on table, and allowed to
walk as it wished, though prevented
from getting off the roll at the sides
by a cardboard fence. The roll was
so arranged as to be relied back and
forth the table by turning spools at
each end.
AS the grub travelled, its every
movement was followed with a lead
pencil, so that its track was continu-
ously marked. So fast and far did it go
that the paper roll had to be replaced
with a fresh one again and again,
eleven rolls in all being used.
The grub kept going for seventy-two
hours, at the end of which it lay down
and died of fatigue and starvation,
after travelling nearly mile and
three-quarters. Its greatest speed was
deemed successful, proving the insect
to be first-class "stayer."

States and
Slate Pencils

If all the states used by schoolboys
and schoolgirls in this country were
put together they would suffice to
roof a good sized city.
But ordinary roofing slate would not
serve for school purposes. For such
use only the finest quality is demand
ed land the same may be said of slate
blackboards for which great slabs are
cut and smoothed. Backlboards of
this material are expensive but pre-
ferable to any substitute, being wear
proof and taking white chalk-marks
better
In Europe slate pencils are usually
made by hand, but in this country they
are turned out by machinery. There
is in Pennsylvania a quarry famous
for the fine quality of it's slate, which
yields many millions of pencils an,
nually. The rough material is first
sewed into suitable pieces and then
each piece is cut to standard length
5 IL inches.
The machinery produces the pencils
in the form of cylindrical rods of that
length, which are pointed on emory
wheels by boys who handle them by
two and three with great dexterity
and rapidity. Finally they are put VI
in pasteboard boxes of 100 each.

Serve Breakfast
With System

! The secret of getting breakfast in a
hurry is to have everything so well
systematized that every move counts
! for something In the first place, one
must know what one is to have for
breakfast the minute one comes into
the kitchen. 1t has all been planned
the day before. Many women waste
time hunting around for something
to get 1t saves much valuable time
and isn't bit more trouble to lay the
table just before going up stairs to
bed. Put on the doilies, silver and
napkins, and if there is to be toast
have the toaster in place, although it
shouldn't be connected, of course If
you are particularly systematic you
have every days breakfast menu writ
ten on slate and hanging on the wall
over the table,
AS to Grinding
OF course the first thing to do is to
grind the coffee, and you will grind it
yourself rather than let them do it at
the store if you really want good cot
fee. There is coffee mill that fastens
to the wall with glass jar to hold
the coffee and a measuring cup to
catch it as it is ground that is very
useful in saving time.
Every Minute Counts
Figure to yourself the difference in
time consumed in opening the cabinet
door and getting out the coffee, get
ting a. spoon and measuring it into
the mill and grinding it, or in simply
going to the wall and turning the
crank till there is enough in the cup,
then pouring it into the pot. And
every minute counts. Set the coffee
boiling, then take the tray to the re-
| frigerator and pile onto it the things
that you will need. Have little
breakfast set in the kitchen and that
you can get at easily and quickly.
Willow ware is very good for this,
and very inexpensive. Suppose you
are having fruit, cereal, scrambled
eggs, toast and coffee. Prepare the
fruit and put it on plates, take up the
cereal which should be in the cooker
if it is the cooked variety, in the
small dishes, cut the butter and put
all this on tray, or better yet, a
wheeled tray and take it to the table
Now scramble the eggs and take them
up on plates, pour the coffee, cut the
bread and make the second trip and
breakfast set in the kitchen you are
you are done.
Just try this and see if it isn't bet
ttr than flying about the kitchtn hot
and excited, doing this and that with
no system, while hubby stands, watch
in hand, wondering if he is going to get
more than a cup of coffee this morn
ing.

Factorys That Make
100 Pounds OF
~Milk--Net Cost Var
les Slightly With
Season

| two-year study of the cost of milk
by the United States Dairy Division
and Purdue University, on a number
of dairy farms in northwestern In
diana, has resulted in figures 0 nthe
requirements of producing 100 pounds
of milk in winter and in summer. To
| give permanent value TO the results,
these requirements were determined
in pounds of feed, hours of labor, ETC.,
and by substituting present costs and
values for the various items a farmer
can determine very closely what it is
costing HIM to produce 100 pounds of
milk at the present time.
Reduced to Figures
In the summer months the require
ments for 100 pounds of milk were as
follows: Concentrate, 20 pounds;
dry roughage, 27.4 pounds; silage and
other succulent roughage, COL pounds;
hauling and grinding concentrates,
$0014; pasture, 004 acre; human Ia
Dor, 90 hours horse labor, OF hour;
overhead and other costs, $O..993.
In the winter months the require
ments for production were: Concen-
trates, 1856 pounds; dry roughage,
66S pounds silage and other succulent
roughage, 1915 pounds; hauling and
grinding concentrates, $003; bedding,
2O3 pounds; human labor, rs hours;
horse labor, 0.3 hour; overhead and
other costs, $0.385.
1t has been generally believed that
the cost of producing milk was con-
siderably higher in winter than in
summer; and while this holds true as
far as the gross cost is concerned,
the figures obtained in this lnvest1-
CATION show that the net cost OF pro-
ducing 100 pounds of milk from NO
yember to April was only Is per
cent higher than the cost from May
to October, inclusive, and that the
total cost varied only slightly from
month to month within each of these
seasons This small difference be-
tween net costs of production is
largely due to the greater credit al
lowed for manure during the winter
season.
Prices Fluctuate
The price received for the milk,
however, fiuctuated sharply from
month to month.
Further details on requirements for
milk production, including such fac
tors as cost of keeping a COW for one
year, cost of keeping a bull, proper
ton of work performed by each class
of labor, percentage relation of vari-
GUS factors in the cost of production,
and other details are presented in
Department Bulletin 1858, Require
ments and Cost of Producing Market
Milk in Northwestern Indiana, which
may be obtained from the United
States Department of Agriculture on
request.

A Fortune in Cats Fur

In the old nursery story of "Puss-
in-Boots" a clever cat made his mas
ter's fortune and turned him from a
poor miller into rich man who mar
ried the kings daughter
Today it almost seems as if puss.
whether clever or not, is again in a
position to make her owner a wealthy
person, for nowadays, when all furs,
are mounting so rapidly in price, that
of our household pet is worth quite
a respectable sum.
Black skins are the bost valuable.
Those of ordinary house cats bring
from IS to 13s ($1.50 to 1925 nor
mally) each, and the demand for them
can be estimated from the fact that
one catalogue alone, of all those issued
by different 'furriers for the recent big
London fur, sales, offered twenty
thousand house cat skins.
The fur for our domestic pet is, in
fact, extensively used for coat Innings.
No wonder cat stealing is remu-
nerative form of crime, and one often
hears of whole neighborhoods being
deprived of all their cats by the depre-
dations of thieves with an eye to
money making.
One cannot help feeling that if the
value of pussey were better known
people would make haste to stop
drowning all but one or two in every
litter of kittens, and would take good
care, when they moved, or went on a
holiday, not to leave their family pet
to the tender mercies of the streets.
For she is, or could easily be, very
valuable commodity.
Her fur is not her only asset. The
rat plague is one of the tipics of the
moment; it's extension is causing wide
spread CONSERVATION; and in this con-
necton the household cat is almost
worth her weight in gold.
The damage done by rats is almost
incredible.
tits calculated that their rayages
cost Great Britain something more
than $50 million dollars ayear. Rats
are exceedingly rapid breeders, and
multiply at an almost incredible rate,
and they can gnaw their way through
brick walls and everything short of
concrete. One rat will consume so
pounds of grain in a year.
In a period of afortnight rats car
ried away seventy-one dozen eggs
from certain merchants premises
think what eggs cost at the present
time. Every cargo ship that sails
bears it's complement of scores of rats
and they are a great menace.
Cats would multiply rapidly if they
were cared for in a scientific way, in
stead of being so often put outof the
world almost as soon as they enter it.
We cannot afford to neglect the lit
tie animal which offers us two distinct
ossibilities-warmth for the cold
weather and the preservation of our
plentiful food supplies against
the voracious rats.
There is room for a new and -four
ishing industry in the breeding of cats
for profit. The enterprising may make
the old fairy tale come true, and dis
cover that puss can bring a fortune
to his owner in real life as we'll as in
fable.

Wildwood Crest

Eden Mitchell and his band OF
workers are making the sawdust fly In
their efforts to complete the Crest pier
before August LIST. The pier will have
three buildings on it. The music ball,
with band shell, is at the ocean end
and the entrance way to this has a
building on each side. All three build
ings are square, of large size and should
accommodate the biggest crowd OF the
season In lts quest for amusement and
entertainment.
With the motor boats running hourly
bet ween s a. m. and 4 p. M. from the
Crest landing to Cape May and re-
turn, many visitors are enjoying this
cool and comfortable ride.
An auto accident occurred at the cor
ner of Pacific and Lavender roads On
Sunday, July 4th, when a machine
driven by Miss Olympia Ingenito col
lided with another car, In which was
seated Mrs. Fredericks, of 1873 n. 18th
street, Philadelphia. Mrs. Fredericks
and her driver were rendered uncon-
scious. Mrs. Fredericks, 1t is said, lay
for two days unconscious at the Blake
home near the scene of the accident.
b. F. Compton,, of Rosemary road

has a big all-brick open fireplace. , A
heavy door, made like the door of a
country barn, invites the caller to the
hospitality within. Built originally
for an artists studio, 1t has been trans
formed into a pretty and unique little
dwelling.
There is pronounced objection by
business people and visitors at the Crest
over the cutting out of all street and
and board walk electric lights at night.
The argument Is made that II coal must
be conserved, Wildwood itself should
share in the process of conservation aud
the burden of a reduced electric supply
borne equally by all sections of the
island.
That thu Crest is not immune from
the small, one-family bungalow idea is
evidenced by the dozen Of that type on
Stanton and Stockton roads.
