CHILDREN OF CHANCE

Eat enough peaches and you will live forever.
This is an ancient Chinese superstition, now given
wide publicity by the California Peach and Fig
Growners Of Fresno.
Many years ago, Chinese maiden-believing
in this superstition-gave her sailor sweetheart
a peach seed, to carry for luck.
At the end Of his voyage, in America, ne lost
the seed From it sprouted the first peach tree
in the United States. b -..@ - {
That shows you what chance will do-move
fruit from one continent to another. Keep it in
n1i,ltl, next time you are on picnic and throw an
applessx pea core or plum seed by the wayside.
Great crops, great wealth. may spring from
single seed-if chance is on it's side e T.
Frenchman, Louis Pellier, in 1856 brought
to America its first prune tree. His sole purpose
was to have,near his new home, at San Jose, CAL,
the tree he had always loved That one tree start
ed a giant industry.
The first peanuts were brought to our country
by African salves, landed in Virginia. A few
were not eaten They dropped to the ground,
sprouted and, advertised by old Tom Rowland 60
years ago, originated big industry Of which Nor
folk is the leading market.
The date-palms Of Mekran, Persia, sprang up
from date seeds dropped by the soldiers of Alex
ander the Great on their way home from India.
It was in similar ways that the cherry spread
over the world from it's original home in Asia;
and the apple, pear and plum from Armenia
Years ago, Canadian mailed to friend abroad
bird-skin stuffed with the seed-down of the Ca
madam thistle.
Some Of the seed got out, sprouted, spread like
wild-fre and today the Canadian thistle is pest
in many parts of Europe. x .
About 1870, some thoughtless q, individual
brought two carp from Germany and turned them
loose in tributary of the Mississippi. Those two
carp were the ancestors of every carp in American
waters today.
Two English sparrows brought to our country
as pets years ago, were the grandparents of the
sparrows that fly. around your house today.

JOBS

A preliminary survey by the Reorganization
Commission shows that there are approximately
TAG, 900 persons on Uncle Sans payrolls!
This includes the 100000 in the postal service;

and agents of the diplomatic, consular, customs,

Statistics show that the fundament-
al difficulty with business today is that
we are trying to run industry by the
votes of Congress. judges, labor
unions, and board of directors, rather
than by fundamental Jaw. We are

Lumber production continues to run
below shipments, and these in turn are
below orders. During July two extra

general logging and lumber industries
are rejecting unusual summer dizziness.
Today lead consumption is two
thirds of pre-war normal. Unlike cop
per and zinc. most lead consumption
is independent of steel. Consequently
it has not been kept small owing to
high prices that had to be paid for the
steel. as has consumption of other non
ferrous metals such as copper, zinc and
tin.
