The Span Of
~ssSN.

In making calculations on the num~ Der of years ahead of you 1t is very necessary to take your occupation into consideration. Fishermen have the healthiest jobs on record. Putting the average mortality at 100, the fisher mans percentage is 7S. Deep sea fish ermen have a higher rate, due to more accidents. Jewellers have the very low mortality of 76. Among the more gem eraI occupations, farmers and clergy men are the longest lived of all peo- ple. Occupations concerned with t0e handling of liquor have very high death rate. Proprietors and superin- tendents of hotels with bars who do not attend the bar have rate of 13o,. wrdle the rate for men of the same class who attend the bar is ITS. When the men are g per cent or more over weight the rate In the first class rises from 1855 to I'll, in the second class from IFS to 237. The mortality rate of walters in hotels and other places where liquor is served Is 177. Many insurance companies have sharp limi- tations in insuring these men, other wise the rate would be much higher.

FOREST LLiiG UN--.. TIT 2.
Submerged Petrfied Trees That tiuSt Be Centuries Old Removed as
 Menace to Navigation.

When the government ship canal that connects Puget sound with Lake Washington was opened, the waters of the lake were lowered 12 feet While wire-dragging the lake, says a con- tributor, the United States coast and geodetic spxvey discovered a subma- rine fsrest. The tops of the sub- merged trees were so close to the sur face that they were a menace to nav igation. Underwater logging opera tions to clear the lake were there fore started.
 It is lthought that the forest Is pre- historic, a remnant of one that grew in the Lake Washington area in the days when 1t was dry land; or that great landaides in remote ages car ried the trees into the lake.
 The trees were without branches and stood vertical, or nearly so; they were semipetrified. The longest trunk removed was 121 feet inches. The top, 10 inches thick, rose to within feet of the surface of the lake. The butt was feet 6 inches fin diameter, and the roots, firmly embedded in the bottom of the lake, had a 20-foot spread. It was found 1,500 feet from the shore.
 Off the sosth end of Mercer island, in Lake Washington, nearly hundred trees were destroyed. The cleanup gave a count of more than hundred trunks during the first three months of 1920, off Nanitou point. The larg- est trunk in tfht area stood in 121 feet of water, HOO feet from shore. The tree was III feet long, with 5-inch top and a 3-foot butt
 Wherever possible, the trees were pulled out by the roots. Fastenings | were made to the trunks by dragging 1 the blight of cable through the water at the required depth. When the . n'~ht .o3chcd tha trunk, one end or the cable was passed through an eye 1 at the other end, and the loop formed was run down ts the trees. When the trees were hauled up, they were cut l into 4-foot sections and thrown bacE Into the lake. Since they were water logged, they immediately sank. l Sometimes a trunk was caught that could not be uprooted, Such trees were blasted off at the top until yes sels could pass safely above them An idea of the extent of the submerged
 forest and the difficulty of removing
 the towering ancient trees may be de
 termined by the tlme-three years ano
 six months-that it has taken the en
 gineering corps, working steadily, tc
 make the lake safe for navigaton.- | Youth's Companion.

An airman who drops lighted pipe from his plane is responsible for any damage his pipe may cause. This was decided at a moot, or discussion, in Gray's Inn hall, London, recently .t which Justice Darling presided
 Mir. Justice Darling, in the course of his judgment, said that for an airman to take lighted pipe and smoRe it when flying at a point where if if fell 1t would fall by gravitatlon to the earth instead of to the moon, to alloy, it to fall or not to prevent 1t to fali -thnt was in Itself prima facie negliI gence.

The Bureau of Entomology, Uni ted States Department of Agricul- .ture, has been called upon for aid in combating cable borers, which pene- trate the lead-sheathed cables of telephone companies in California
 and elsewhere in the United States. Some seasons the damage is quite serious, moisture penetrating through the holes made by the borer and causing a short circuit in wet weather. Various kinds of suspen- sion rings, lead alloys, and chemical repellanats have been tried with little success, but the inroads of the borer have been checked by treating the

CONTROL OF GARDEN INSECTS
Spraying With Solution of Arsenal, of Lead Is Effective for Potato
 Bugs or Beetles.

Spraying with arsenate of lead will control potato bugs or beetles. This poison solution is made of one pound of arsenate of lead to ten gallons of water, with little laundry soap added to make the solution stick to the leaves. Cucumber, muskmelon and squash beetles may be controlled by dusting the plants with air-slacked lime mixed with lead arsenate powder. When plants of any kind are attacked by lice Black Leaf 40 Is generally used. Arsenate of lead and Black Leaf 40 can be purchased at any drug store and they are usually accompa- nied by directions for their use. Con- troi of vegetable insects and diseases depends much on prompt action as soon as their presence Is noticed. Spraying and other methods are nec- essary some time or other every year, for every plant in the garden is in- fected at some time with either a dis ease or an insect

Tests Disprove Old Theory

The old theory that charring the butts of fence posts and telephone poles preserves the wood has been disproved by a series of tests recent ly conducted by the Forest Products Laboratory of the Forest Service, United States Department of Agri- culture, on fences with charred and untreated posts of varied species. The charred posts proved in these tests to be even less durable than the untreated ones.
 Theoretically, an area of charred wood around a post should prevent decay, because charcoal does not decay or encourage the growth of fungi. But the charred area around a post is not usually solid covering. 1t is checked through in many places. If green unchecked posts are charred, checks will open through the charred part as the wood seasons. In either case the uncharred center of the post is exposed to fungus infec- tion and will decay as rapidly as un- treated wood.
 Charring deep enough to resist decay would undoubtedly weaken a post of ordinary size.

Sunfowers are being extensively grown for silage in parts of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana where climatic conditions are such as to make corn growing for silage uncertain. Sunfowers yield as high as ' or tons to the acre, and when cut green for silage have not developed enough wood in the stalks to seriously impair their use for cattle feed. Growing of sunfowers is being encouraged by the county agents, and extensive tests of the action of silage on sunfowers are being made at the United States de- partment experiment station at Red field, South Dakota.
 Farmers of Manatee County, Fla, this year will store sweet potatoes on an extensive scale for the first time, due to the work of their county agents. Because of the difficulty of obtaining proper storage, it former ly was common occurrence for far mers to ship their potatoes to nor thern markets or canneries within a short time of harvesting, and later find themselves compelled to pur- chase potatoes by the 3-pound can at several times their original market price. A community storage house with capacity of 10000 bushels has been erected, and farmers have space allotted where they can place their potatoes and take them out at will.
