/ BRIGHT IDEA NOT PATENTED
Generous Marine Willing All Should
Have the Benefit of His Really

The marine and his best girl were

temptation to steal kiss was strong,
but he knew that people do not stop
to kiss on the street in broad day.

occasions when marine has chance
to parade Broadway with his lady

Suddenly the leatherneck had a
bright idea.. He knew it looked all
right to kiss person good-by on the
street.
"Lissen, Lucille" he suggested.
"lVhat do you say if we shake hands,
kiss each other good-by then walk
around opposite blocks and meet
again?"

The scheme turned out to be such
success that several blocks were ne

entire trip up town was series Of

POISON SPRAY NOT HARMFUL
Heavy coatings Of Residue on Fruits
and Vegetables Removed by
Good Washing.

Poison sprays on fruits and vege-
tables will not be found by consumers
In harmful quantities If growers who
use them against pests and diseases
follow the spraying schedule recon-
mended by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. In some in
stances, because of heavy spraying or
spraying late in the season, investi-
gators for the department have found
comparatively Sarge quantities of
spray residue on fruits and vegetables
at harvest time, especially on prod
ucts grown in dry climates. When
heavy coatings of residue were found
washing and wiping removed much of
it, and peeling all Of 1t.
Experiments along this line were
undertaken by the department be-
cause of the possibility that spraying
of fruits and vegetables might leave
enough arsenic, lead, or copper on the
surface to be injurious to the con-
sumner. The results, obtained by an.
alyzing sprayed fruits and vegetables
from various parts of the country and
presented mostly in the form of ta-
bles, are given in Department Bulle-
tin 1927, Poisonous Metals on Sprayed

New Building Material.

At Marrero, La, there has been
erected a factory for making build
ing material from sugar cane bagasse.
The equipment of the mill is very
much like that in paper factory. The
bagasse is Clipped, cooked and
washed, and then sent to heaters,
where 1t is orked up until the fibers
are of the proper length. A special
machine converts the pulp into board
and this is dried for four hours,
emerging as finished product, quite
dry and hard. 1t is known as celotex,

prepared by the United States Department

In the study of root, stalk, and ear
rots of corn, one Of the most useful
discoveries that has been made is a
very noticeable difference between
starchy ears and horny ears in the fire.
quency of infection and in the vigor
of plants produced. These differences
are discussed in Department Bulletin

Endosperm to the susceptibility Of
Dent Corn to Root Rotting, by John
F. frost, assistant pathologist. The
Investigations were carried on jointly
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture and Purdue university

Ears of the dent varieties that have
starchy kernels have been found to
be infected with rOot-rot organisms
more frequently than ears in the same
seed lots that have horny kernels.
This provides a means Of selection
that may help to do away with the
necessity of testing every ear to deter
mine whether from the standpoint Of
root-rot infection it is desirable to
plant. Starchy kernels are easily dis
tinguished from those with horny
endosperms. The horny kernel is
more or less translucent; that is,
it let's the light pass through in the
same way that oiled paper does.
Starchy kernels are opaque-like a
piece of chalk.
Starchy ears of dent varieties pro-
duce larger numbers of weaker grow
ing plants, more susceptible to root
rots in the field, than do ears of more
horny composition.
There is an impression among corn
growers that the depth of the dents
is an indication of the starchiness of
the kernels, but this has not been
shown to be true. Chaffy kernels are
usually very starchy, but starchiness
is not necessarily associated with
normally-matured ears that are rough.
