After many years of annoying delay
and experimentation 1t now seems
probable that the state road depart
ment of Florida has determined to
adopt practical MEASURE of procedure
calculated to bring results. The old
method never took anyone anywhere;
admittedly. the problem has always
been one OF considerable difficulty be-
cause of the vast extent of territory
sought to be covered, but former
boards made the mistake of endeavor.

being completed as an integral part of

certain proposed routes were desig-

raised in a better way from net in

OF this is tho amount OF money put IN

GATHERING THE GIFT CORN

Carl S. Vrooman, director OF the
Farmers Gift-Corn Relief. issues the
following statement explaining the
method of gathering the grain in the
country:
THE county farm bureau, working
thru it's township leaders, will instruct
the individual farmers by personal
call telephone or letter when and to
what station to haul their corn. We
are suggesting that IL per cent OF
each tenants or landlords share of
the crop would be the proper amount
of corn to donate to this great hu-
manitarian cause.
THE county farm bureau should
notify the state farm bureau fedora
tion at least five days in advance OF
the day the corn is to be shclled and
the car filled. The state federation
will then wire or write the American
Farm Bureau Federation full details
as to color, grade and amount of corn.
number OF farmers donating, and
price at country station on date of
loading. We will confer with repre-
sentatves of the millcrs of the Eu-
ropean relief committees to determine
the cars destination. The order for
tho car and its destination will then
be sent to the American Railway as
socia ton, car service bureau, which
will issue a permit and have the car,
together with explicit billing instruc-
tions, sent to the local freight agent.
Tho county agent should consiEn
the corn in the name of the county
farm bureau and mail the bill of lad
ing promptly to the consiGnee, in or
der that the car may be released with
out delay upon its arrival at its dcs-
tination. Tho county agent should
also at once make full report TO the
state office. On all bills of ladinS
should be prominently inscribed the
words, Farmers Gift-Corn.' That is
our trademark, guaranteeing us free
transportation and quick Service.
1T is important to get white In
stead of yellow corn whenever possi-
BILE. White corn can go direct to
the mills, saving time exchanging, re-
| shipping and extra hauling. Some
to substitute white of equal grade for
yellow corn.
Local publicity with regard to the
contributions of corn should not be
neglected. as 1t hops to stimulate 9th
| or farmers to give promptly and lib
orally. It should be made plain that
under existing agreements freight
loading and unloading. drying. inspcc-
| tion, milling, etc, arc either done
! gratis or arc paid for by the various
relief agencies. not by the farmers.
ut is of the utmost urgency that
the gathering and shipping Of corn
be pushed at top speed, as probably

What wns once the province of the
piano maker, now dcvolves upon the
wire manufacturer, whose product when
put to the test, must be absolutely and
positively uniform. The acoustic engi-
neer was given piece of iron ore and
Beethoven's Sonata Apassionata and
commanded to transform the ore into a
medium for the expression of the COM

The combined knowledge of the metal
lurgist, the chemist, the physicist, the
acoustic engineer and the mechanician
must be utilized in the solution of the

1t has become q source Of wonder
ever since Rudolph of Nuremberg drew
the first wire in l410 that a wire of a

be drawn.

that even makers of popular price pia-

a SOUND is an air disturbance
which reaches the ear and causes
the sensation of hearing. A noise
Is q sound too brief or too irregular to
have any assignable pitch. A tone is
. sound continuing uniformly for an
sppreciable time and having a definite
pitch. Thus music becomes organized
noise.
When Apollo twanged his Tyre, his
method of tuning must have been as
archaic as his instrument.
For hundreds of years before the sd.
vent of the acoustic engineer, makers
of musical instruments were compelled
to invent their own systems, often
without 4 scientific basis, although in
the seventh century B. C. Pythagora,
invented the monochord to illustrate
his theory of musical harmony as based
on numbers.
Tho monochord is still used by acous.
tic engineers for experimenting upon
mathematical relations of musical
sounds. His device consisted of stretch,
ing a single string between two bridges
9. or both of which were movable
which stand upon a graduated rule for
the purpose of readily changing and
measuring the length of the string wher
. certain pitch is reached by putting
. weight on the end of the string.
