rNatiou&i Crop improvement servioe.1
~ ONE YEARS ago the grain ex-
changes were aroused TO realiza-
ton that when farmer had mar
keted his good seed grain at the eleya-
tor, 1t became mixed with all kinds Of
ether grains and varieties of the same
grain and shus lost les identity; that
even the large dealers in seeds knew
little or nothing about the origin Of
each lot and in consequence varieties
became hopelessly mixed.
Now a farmer Is entitled to know all
about the seed which he is going to
plant and crop improvement associa-
tions have been formed in a number Of
states for the sole purpose Of breeding
seeds which may be relied upon to be
true to name and type.
The Minnesota Crop Improvement
Association was formed some years ago
and G. P. Bull, the plant breeder at
the University Of Minnesota, realizing
that research was not enough, took an
active part in the dissemination Of seed
grains to reliable farmers who became
members of the Association.
Prof T. r. Odland is now the Secre-
tary Of this Association and pure bred
seed show has just been held at st.
Paul, emphasizing the value of this Co
operation and demonstrating that scien
tiic seed breeding can succeed in years
when the average crop may be almost a
failure.

\ SETTING UP !

ar ALMOST every corner grocers
"A stands can be purchased very
cheaply that will hold the Christ
mas tree firmly In position.
The simplest Of these consists Of q
crosspiece Of wood raised a little from
the floor by wooden supports and hay.
ing q hole In the center to insert the
trunk Of the tree.
More elaborate ones take the form
Of a wooden square, painted q bright
red and surrounded by a low wooden
railing.
Country dwellers who cannot pur-
chase these trees ut the corner store,
but have to cut them In the nearest
wood lot, must devise some other way
Of holding the Christmas tree in posi-.
tion.
The easiest way to do this, II the
tree is not too large and heavy, Is to
insert the trunk into the hole through
the bottom of wooden box, and
either paint this box green or red or
cover II with green or red paper.
A starch box will hold up a small
tree perfectly, but somewhat larger
box must be chosen for one of larger
growth. If, In spite Of all precautions,
the tree seems too heavy and Is in,
cllned to wobble, weight the box on
either side with heavy stones. Some
times the box Is filled with sand, the
trunk planted In that and then the
wooden cover nailed In place to make
all very solid.
II one has any talent for carpentry,
even Of the toughest sort, an effective
support can be made by mailing two
pieces Of wood In the shape Of
square cross, holding the tree upon
this and mailing cleats to both tree
and support until 1t stands firmly.
A very pretty effect can be obtained
by covering the support of the tree
and the floor directly around II with
white cotton batting on which silver
tinsel, called rain" In most shops, has
been sprlnkled. This makes the tree
look as II It were growing in a bunch
Of snow glItterhg In the sun.

PREPARE FOR RIGID
FIRE INSPECTIONS

During Fire-prevention week. whieh
hegins October 10. the fire department
will carry on with renewed vigor its
inspection of theaters, apartment
houses. hotels and other large estab-
lishments.
Fire Chief George Watson yesterday
issued an order to his men to CO.
operate in every way possible in MAX
ing a success of this years campaign
to reduce the danger of conf1agrationS
in the District.
Order From Chief.
The chiefs order reads in part as
follows:
"The object of Fire -preention day is
to take such steps as may be pos
sibie to educate the public generally
adopted for the safeguarding of their
lives. homes. and property. and the
committee which has been appointed
by the Commissioners is bending
every effort toward that end. We of
the fire department can cooperate
in this work best by seeing that the
inspections which we make, in ac-
cordance with orders previously is
sued, are carried on with renewed
vigor and interest, to the end that the
great good which has resulted there
from in the past may continue, and
that, if possible, even better results
may be obtained.
"If each and every member of the
department takes an active personal
interest in the work of fire preven-
tion, and If inspections are made
during Fire-prevention week as fire.
quently as is possible without i'm
pairing the efficiency of the fire-ight-
ing forces. there is no doubt that we
will then be cooperating to the full
est extent in the work of the COM
mittee referred to above, and that
beneficial results will undoubtedly
follow. 1 ask that this matter be
given your earnest consideration, and
that each of you accord your full
support to the work, to the end that
our past record for unfailing patri-
otic effort may be maintained"
Campaign to BE Vigorous.
Although Monday, October 10, has
been set aside for general observance
of fire prevention. the citizens COM
mittee and Chief Watson are arrang-
ing to devote that entire week to
vigorous campaign of publicity to
drive home to every resident of the
city the possible causes of fire that
lurk in homes and business places.
All persons will be urged to clear
cellars and attics of rubbish. one of
the most frequent causes of fire.

ALCOHOL MAKES SKIRTS
SWISH, SCIENTISTS FIND;
ARTIFICIAL SILK SECRET

Synthetic silk that will baffie ex-
perts in determining whether it
came from the test tubes of chem
lists or the mulberry trees of Asia
will be used in the manufacture
of silk gowns in the future, gov
ernment officials are predicting as
a result of experiments just COM
pleted for perfecting the process
of manufacture. The process was
developed by Americas new chem
ical industry built up during the
war to compete with the German
worldwide monopoly of the chem
ical and dyestuff industry.
The departed spirit of John Bar
leycorn gave the finishing touch
to the new fabric, chemists say.
They began their experiments by
producing in the laboratory the
exact chemical product turned out
by the Asiatic silk worm in his
cocoon. But here they struck a
snag. The manufactured silk
proved brittle and fragile. 1t was
then determined the secret lay in
the weathering which tempered
the silk-worm product. Chemists
next sought something that would
season their product. They found
IT IN the beverage banned by the
Volstead law-grain aleohol-and
tests just completed, it is stated,
nave demonstrated that in alco-
ho1 lies the secret of a synthetic
silk that will readily take the
place of the natural product with
out sacrificing any Of is silken

ASK GREA7ERFUND
FOR STREET LIGHTS
Commissions Estimates Call
for Enough to Extend
I System in Suburbs.

In an effort to meet the need for
more street lights in the National
Capital, the Commissioners have ask
ed Congress in their estimates for a
substantial increase in the appropri-
alton for that purpose, it was learned
last night.
The current appropriation for street
lighting is $430,OO0. The exact
amount asked for by the city heads
for next year will not be known until
the budget goes from the Treasury
to Congress. 1t is understood. how
ever. that the request for next year
is higher than the current. sum.
To person unfamiliar with mu-
nicipal affairs. S43O.O00 would appear
to be liberal allotment for street
lighting When you consider. now.
ever. that more than 80 per cent OF
that amount goes as payment for gas
and electric current and maintenance
of equipment, it is apparent what
small amount the Commissioners have
available for extension of the light
ing system.
With the city growing steadily and
new suburbs rapidly being developed,
1T is felt by District officials that they
should have more money for new
lights and not so through each year
with slightly more than enough to
pay for current and gas.
According to Warren B. Hadley,
electrical engineer of the District,
342 new lights We're placed in service
during the last HScal year. N WHICH
81 were gas and 3l1 electric.
If the Commissioners are success
full in getting Il larger appropriation
from Congress the electrical depart
ment will be able to go forward more
rapidly in placing more lights where
they are needed.
There are two reasons that impel
the Commissioners in their efforts to
improve the lighting system of the
,i:y--to reduce the danger of acci-
to safeguard pedestrians from high
waymen. who find it easy to operate
on dark thoroughfares.
Next to school buildings and street
improvements. the Commissioners re-
gard better street lighting as one of
the urgent municipal needs of the
city. The capital of the nation. they
helieve, should be better illuminated
than the average American city.

LUMBER BUYING STRONG.

Lumber buying has been sufficiently
strong to AFFECT materially the price
situation, with the result that prices
on southern pine at wholesale nave
advanced several dollars a thousand
feet, according to American Lumber
man.
A significant development Of the
market, the publication says, is the
increase in purchases of hemlock in
the north, North Carolina pine on the
Atlantic coast and white pine from
the northern district. Production is
increasing, but the increase AS yet
has not been sufficient to equal the
increase in the volume of orders.
