IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Odd what q queer Julhpie VI aA,A
portant things stick In the memory
In winter my mother used to hahs
about my neck a red flannel bag OF
ssafetida to ward off infection, writes
Meredith Nicholson in an exchange.
She believed in this as In the adVls'
ability of seeing the new moon over
nor right shoulder. The pervaslVe
aroma of forty such amulets IN an
oyerheated schoolroom | recall to this
oav. but not with poignant regret for
the passing Of this superstition. Much
as | enjoyed watching my maternal
grandmother roll into her back yard
every spring a huge iron pot in which
she concocted soft soap from the
winters accumulation of fat, my recol'
lection of the product Is not so agree
able-the stuff was sometimes intro
duced into my abIutions-that | should
care to impose Its manufacture or use
mon any child Of these times. This
grandmother was a Virginian, thor
oughly skilled In the household arts,
but I am constrained to think that in
these days she would be very quick to
accommodate herself to the changed
conditions.

ant, poisoning must be done even when
the plants are wet and the ground
muddy, so says the United States De.
partment Of Agriculture with regard
to poisoning the weevil with calcium
arsenate. The Department has found
that, during the critical stage, the
poisoning should be done at intervals
Of about four days. Two or three ap
pllcations, made In good weather may
nave got the weevils under control
Then there comes a rainy spell and
the farmer lets the time for poisoning
pass while he waits for fair weather
But that is exactly the time when the
weevil is busiest. The numbers are
likely to increase so rapidly tat the
control already gained Is lost. In that
event, the weevil inflicts about as
much damage a. II no poisoning had
been done and the farmer loses, in
/. addition, what he has spent in poison.
Inc operations. The only way /, pre-
vent that sort Of result is to let wet
weather interfere as little as possible
with poisoning operations. Stick tc
the schedule, the department says re-
CARELESS Of weather conditions.
The department realizes, Of cou,:.
that poisoning cannot be done in pour.
Ing rain but the farmer, the specialists
urge, should take advantage Of the
earliest opportunity to get back into
the field after the rain, that he should
make every effort to get the cotton
again busted regularly, even though
fair weather does not seem certain.
He can afford, they say, to put on
poison even in unsettled weather, even
when 1t looks most threatening, may
stay fair long enough to allow weevil
control to operate. Every farmer 1t
Is pointed out, must expect to lose
some poison BY rain but the operation
Is sufficiently profitable to Justify It.

Sir George Darwin demonstrated
that the friction set up on the earth by
the drag Of the tides Is acting as a
kind of brake which slowly but surely
Is causing the earth to turn more slow
ly on its axis. So slowly, indeed, that
the length OF the day-which is de-
cided by one axial revolution Of tho
earth-ls increasing by only about one
two-hundredth Of second In a cen.
fury. But the cumulative effect Of this
slowing up means that the day will
eventually be some 1,4O6 hours long.
And as the earth is retaliating on the
moon by pushing 1t further away,
when that epoch is reached the month
will be the same length as the day, so
that the moon will then revOlve round
the earth in the same time that the
earth turns on its axis, and there will
be no tides at all.
