cal charges unite.
The electric charge is con-
tanned on the surface of the rain
drop. While the surface of the
large raindrop is larger than that
of each of the thousands of tiny
drops which have come together
to compose il, il is very much
smaller than the sum of their sur
faces and the charges of all these
droplets thus Gre collected and
compressed on the surface of the
one big drop-that is, the charge
on the big drop is under much
higher electric pressure. But there
is a limit TO the electric pressure
which the air can stand.
When this is exceeded the air
breaks down electrically and the
edectric charge discharges by a
spark. a lightning flash.
Color of Clouds
"You have noticed that rain
clouds art dark, sometimes black
shading Off to lighter portions
than the rest because they contain
more moisture.
Hence they contain a greater
amount of electricity than the
lighter portions, are under higher
electric pressure of voltage, and
there is an unstable equilibrium,
until finally the accumulation OF
electricity at one ~slIeh point be-
comes sufficient to overcome the
Resistance of the intervening air.
ana there is a lightning flash and
the voltage is equalized.
There are really three things
which make up the lightning nash
THE electric pressure or volt
age of the thundercloud.
THE current or flow of electric
ity in the discharge, given in am
peres.'
The duration OF the discharge.
"All these three quantities mul-
tiplied give the energy.
The human eye. of course. is not
capable of measuring the infinites-
imally short duration of lightning
flash. and the flash is seen merely
because the eye retains an image II
receives for a fraction of a second

Last Day of Hunting Season.

Under the Federal law, which pre-
scribes seasons on migratory game
birds, January 81 was the last day
on which wild ducks and gesse, coots
and Wilson snipe or jacksnipe could
be hunted anywhere in the United
States. The Federal law provides,
however, that the carcasses of birds
killed during the open season may
be possessed for an additional period
of 10 days following the end of the
season, provided the State or local
laws do not prohibit it. The pos
session of carcasses of wild ducks,
geese, and other migratory game
February 10 renders the owners sub
ject to prosecution in the Federal
courts. The law is administered un-
der the United States Department
of Agriculture by the Bureau of Bio
logical Survey.

Berkshire Breeders Boost The Better
Sires Campaign.


An indication of the active and
widespread support being given to
the bettersires campaign now system
atically fostered by the United States
! Department OF Agriculture is illus
trated by proposal recently made by
the American Berkshire Association
This association, according to a letter
recently received by the department
is suggesting to State Berkshire
breeders associations a plan design
ed to broaden the market for Berk-
shire boars and increase the use of
purebred animals on farms.
The association is urging the va
rious State organizations to mail cir
cular letters to their members sug
costing that breeders exchange pure
bred boars for grade boars now be-
ing used by farmers, pricing the reg
istered boar at a close figure and TAX
ing the grade boar at the market
price as part payment, the breeder
then sending the grade boar to the
butcher. In their letter to the State
associations the national body points
out that every Berkshire breeder who
follows this suggestion does three
things:
He puts Berkshire boar on an adj
dltional farm.
He provides a means of getting
good Berkshire feeder hogs for the
market.
He puts the purebred sire on a
farm where formerly there was a
grade or scrub.
Signs bearing the legend Register
ed Berkshire bear used on this farm
will be furnished by the American
association to all farmers who take
advantage of this plan.

Maple Trees Of 20 States Offer a
Wealth of Sweets.

Many thousands of American farm
ers throughout a score of States are
overlooking opportunities to secure
delicious maple sugar and strip for
home use, as well as for sale, at
very little cost. This statement, of
interest because of the approach OF
sugar weather." is based on data
compiled by experts of the United
States Department of Agriculture who
have made q special study of the
maple-sugar industry. While Amer
leans commonly think of this indus
try as being confined largely to cir
cumscribed areas in New England
and New York, there are, as a matter
of fact, many potential sugar bush
es" throughout eastern and north
eastern United States; in other words,
throughout a region extending south
to include North Carolina and Ten
nessee and west to include northern
Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota. There
are also a considerable number of
maple trees of a sugar-yielding spe-
cies in Washington and Oregon.
While some experience is necessary
to boil the sap down to strip and
sugar properly, the process is not
and may be learned read
lily. A United States Department OF
Agriculture bulletin, Production of
Maple Sirup and Sugar" gives the
necessary information, and will be
sent free to any person addressing
the department at Washington.
A clump of 10 to 10 trees usually
will yield enough strip for family
use to make tapping worth while,
and in many cases will afford a sur
plus which can be sold at remun-
erative price.

ATTORNEYS GIVEN
TOTAL OF $4,000
Special Counsel In Bingham
Tax Suit Suffer Big
Reduction.
louisville Herald.)

After listening six days and one
night to testimony and devoting four
hours to absorbing the arguments of
counsel, Jury in Judge Rays court.
following deliberation of two hours
and five minutes yesterday afternoon
returned a verdict of $4,000 less
$40, 900 already paid them. for Attor-
neys Hite Huffaker, Robert G. Cor
don and James Garnett. employed as
special counsel by Governor Stanley
in the collection of the Bingham es-
tate inheritance tax.
Witnesses in the case, besides Gov
ernor Morrow, who testified for the
Commonwealth, and stated in his be-
ief that $4,000 was fair fee for the
services rendered by the special coun-
sci, were lawyers from Louisville and
other points in the state. a great ar
ray of legal talent appearing for each
side. These expert witnesses were
called upon to answer among other
things, hypothetical questions requir-
ing, in most instances, an hour in the
reading. The questions concerned
the value of legal services under GER
tain conditions. Those attorneys
who gave testimony for the plaintiffs
expressed the opinion that the
amount sued for by Huffaker, Cor
don and Garnett-S125, 900 was
a reasonable fee, while witnesses for
the Comm placed various es-
Inmates upon the value of the services
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000.
The case was before Judge Ray on an |
appeal from the County Court, where |
the full amount sought was allowed.
The Court of Appeals has already |
held that the matter of compensa-
ton must be fixed by jury.
The Bingham estate was estimated
to be worth s79,OOO,OOO with APP
oroximately $1S,OOO,OOO taxable in
Kentucky.

Lowest Farm-Wage Rates Found in
Southern States.

Lowest wage rates for farm labor
working by the month without board
in 1920 were found in the South At
lantic States by the Bureau of Crop
Estimates, U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. The average for that group
of States was $50.56. A little above
this was the average of $51.94 for
the South Central States. The wage
levels for the northern groups OF
States were much above those av-
erages, as they have been during the
SIS years of the record of that bureau.
In the North Central States east Of
the Mississippi River, the average Of
S7O.O9 was found for 1920; in the
North Atlantic States $75.54; in the
North Central States west of the
Mississippi River, $79.79; and by far
the highest average was $ss.4S for
the far Western States.
In individual States there were, Of
course, departures from group av-
erages. Lowest of all, for hirings
by the month without board in 1920,
was Mississippi, with the average of
Sal and above this, in order, were
South Carolina, with s41.SO; Alaba-
ma with $42.4O; Georgia, with $44;
and Tennessee with $46.
At the other extreme are some OF
the States of the far western group.

Finds Worth of Purebreds On Going
Back To Scrubs.

There was man who heard about
"better sires better stock" years ago,
before the present movement was
started. He was so impressed that
he thought he would get a purebred
bull and have a good herd. The bull
he got was a good one but the next
year his herd was no better than be-
fore, and he became discouraged. He
kept his purebred bull for one more
year, then sold it and bought a scrub.
Time went on, and the heifer calves
from COWS served during those two
years when the purebred bull was
used grew up and came into milk.
To his surprise he found that after
all he did have a better herd. But
alas, in two years more he found that
herd was growing poor again. The
cheap bull was getting in his work.
The scrub then died, but his influ-
ence remained, just as the good bulls
influence remained after he was gone.
At last this farmer saw the point.
Again he bought a purebred bull,
one whose dam and grandam had
high records; and before two years
had passed he Joined bull associa-
ton, so that when he had to quit
using his own purebred bull he was
able to change off to another bull as
good. When the daughters of this
bull grew up he found his herd again
in quality, and this time
it kept on improving. Year after
year his heifers grew up to be high
class cows, and the owner profited.

Farmers Find Cooperation Leads To
Better Marketing.

Experience has shown that farm
ers' cooperative marketing associa-
ton, organized along sound bust
ness lines and with a sufficient vol
ume of business, will offer a regular
dependable service to producers, say
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Impossible
results must "ot be ex .'eeted, but
producers, by organizing, can ac-
complish mucr that as individuals
they could not undertake.
Cooperative marketing associa-
lions can assist in standardizinG pro-
ducts, in improving grading and pack
ing, in furr lshing storage fac'li:'es,
in gathering and using market and
crop information and in locating new
markets. A marketing association
can do much more advertising than
single producer could afford and
it can buy farm supplies at quantity
prices for its members.
