August 22-27 to Be
 Liue Stock Week

Auburn, August 16.-(Special ) The week of August 22-27 has been designated Better Live Stock Sires Week" by the county agents, dis trict agents and specialists in ani- nal husbandry of the Alabama ex- tension service, and during this week a quiet but concerted campaign will be carried on In all parts of Ala bama to sell to farmers on the idea of using only good purs bred sires and induce as many as possible to buy whatever good sires are needed on their farms.
 Beef Cattle Leader k. G. Baker. who suggested the idea, is now get ting each breeder of all kinds of live stock in Alabama to furnish him list of the different sires worthy to be kept for breeding purposes which they have for sale. and as will be compiled and copies sent to each county agent who will then be in position place farmers desiring to buy an animal In touch with those who have what they want for sale.
 In putting on this campaign it is the intention of the extension service to arouse more interest in live stock, as well as to induce more farmers to build up their live stock through the use Of good sires, which is uni versally recognized as the cheapest and most practical method. Com pared with their real value well bred and good individual sires of thssdif- ferent beef and dairy breeds of cat tie and the different breeds of swine can now be bought at very low prices and in view of the fact tht live stock must continue to be an important part of farming in Alabama and else- where, it is thought that now is an ideal time to get started.

A SHORTAGE IN PURE SCIENCE

We were taught In school that every time we wash our hands or light fire we are watching a chem ical process that could be turned Into one of those puzzling formulas made up of capital letters with small figures hanging to them, says the Ma tion's Business. And most of us ac- cepted the statements as true and let 1t go at that,
 If you would realize anew how closely the work of the research chemists and physicists is linked with our everyday life, run down the list of research fellowships at the Mellon Institute at Pittsburg. Brea1 and soap, stoves and inks, fruit bev- erages and glue. these are half a dozen of the half a. hundred subjects with which these men are strug- gling. And out of them comes a process that saves million barrels of flour & year and means cheaper bread 70 you and me. or a process that will extend the life of your shirt from ten trips to the laundry to twenty
 And 1t is hard to realize that back ef it all is the domain of pure sci ence, and without its workers little progress would be made in the field of applied science. More than that, our supplies of pure science are run ming tow, so great have been the de- mands upon them made by industrial research.

sHEETING PULLED BY ENGINE

SLEEPING PULLED BY ENGINES
 A pulling combination which draws plate steel sheetins into place for retaining quick sand or water logged soil, Is described with illustra- tions in the Popular Mechanics Nigga zine. With it piers or building excava- tions may be made at half the present cost. it Is claimed, The combination consists chiefly of a pulling engine and an iron pointed pipe, driven in- to the ground, which serves as a fulcrum. A steel cable is threaded from the drum of the pulling engine over sheaves at the top and bottom of the pipe and is attached to beveled shoe, or bottom plate. The beveling on the shoe plate assits the engine in pulling 1t down into the soil Several of thes pipes are ar ranged in front of a plate to be drawn down. When the engines are set in motion. the plates are pulled downward until it becomes neces- sary to attach additional plates. This process is repeated until solid steel wall Is sunk into the ground. After two such walls have been driven and braced with timbers a the top, the earth between them can be removed without fear of a cave-in.

Business. That was the effect of some recent bidding in Australia. There was outspoken preference for British goods, but out of the Brit ish bids for electrical equipment in the form of generators, transmission lines, etc, the lowest price that could be figured for a complete installation was s2,720,o00. At the same time, an American company had before the commi ssion that was to let the coi- tract a bid of s1,516.o0n. Such a mar gin was too much even for a strong national preference. The equipment Is to be provided by the American company.
