One Little Grain of Wheat.

One grain of wheat will produce 100 hexillion grains in the tenth year. an agricultural professor told group of visiting farmers at the Pennsylvania State college. He wasn't quite sure that "hexilliOn" was the correct word, but here is the way he wrote 1t: 1OO,. 900 GOO, ,OOO, ,O0O, 900, ,OOO, 600. There W ould be wheat grains enough, he said, to string four billion chains of 1t from the earth to the sun. Indeed, the crop of wheat, long before the tenth generation, would be so large that the earth would not be big enough to provide space to replace the entire crop.-Bucks County Daily News.

CONDITION IS
 57 PER CENT
Total Cotton Crop in Arkansas is Estimated at 975,OOO
 Bales, by Crop Re-
 porting Service.

Arkansas cotton on September 2o showed g per cent of normal crop, against a 10-year average of 62 per cent according to the October cotton report for the state, published by the official Federal State Cooperative Crop Reporting Service,
 A condition of 57, the report states. forecasts lint yield of 164 pounds an acre and a crop of 975, ,0OO bales, which total may turn out larger or smaller. according to the conditions prevailing through the remainder of the harvest ing season.
 Compared with last year, there is an increased acreage of IS per cent, and the per-acre yield in the Southern third of the state and in the central district centering around Little Rock, promises to be markedly better. In the west central and east-central districts, how ever. the probable yield will be slight ly below last years, while in the north eastern section, which last year had q bumper crop, the per-acre yield may be reduced as much as 20 or p per cent though the increased acreage will afr set the decrease.
 The last gininng report shows cotton between 40 and 90 per cent picked and nearly one-third bales. With good weather November 1 will see the pick ing practically finished.
 The report indicates that for the state as whole. weevil damage has been much less than was expected, Damage is most pronounced in north eastern Arkansas which got it's first se- we're infestation. Probably 90 per cent of the middle crop bOlls will produce little cotton because of weevil injury, and there is practically no top crop except in il few favored localities. Leaf caterpillar k reported generally. but is doing more good than harm.
 Staple is reported running shorter than the average, but fine weather con ditionS will help out the grade and the prospect is that more white cotton will he gathered than for many years past.

ON THE ROOF OF THE WORLD
EnoIishman's Description of Life In the Andes Mountains Makes Inter-
 estlng Reading.

In a recent expedition to Peru Mir Joseph Barcroft of the University of Cambridge did some exploring in the higher Andes and made some interest ing discoveries, which are told in the British Medical Journal.
 At 12,OOO feet COWS gave milk al 13.OOO feet they gave little or none. At 15,OOo feet there were no COWS. At 1000 feet fieas disappeared, though lice remained so long as there were human beings
 At these heights men have lived for many generations, having become ac- climatiZed to the rarefied air. Many of them lived in chimneyless and win dowless houses; they had a purely communal system of government. and some of their customs would hardly appeal to more civilized races. When a native was very i'll, for instance. the date of his funeral was fixed without reference to his convenience, and an official saw to 1t that he was ready to keep the appointment.
 It was remarkable what loads the pec"'e were able to carry at these alll.des. A boy of about thirteen would carry from the interior of a mine a burden of forty pounds, ascend ing staircase with 1t from a point 25O feet below, while full-grown man would carry one hundred pounds of metal, yet the European was out of breath if he carried his coat up a slight incline.

What Becomes of Rainfall.

One ton of water to three pounds of flour Is natures recipe for making wheat bread, according to figures on rainfall published by the bureau of soils in the Department of Agricul- ture.
 By controlling the water supply in irrigation, accurate measurement is possible, and this estimate Is of the minimum requirement.. Many crops need five times as much water.
 What becomes of all the water? Of a ton of water falling on dozen square feet of soil during the year. about one-third sinks through and is drained off underground. Only a little runs off the surface if the field is we'll plowed. A little evaporates immediately and the rest is held in the soil. As the surface dries, the moisture In the soil soaks up by cap Hilary attraction and evaporates off the surface. But by far the greater amount Is drunk by the roots of the plants, drawn up into the leaves and breathed back In vast quantities into the atmosphere.

ANTELOPE BEING WIPED OUT
Despite Possession of Remarkable Sionailne System the Animals
 Are Rapidly Disappearing.

The American prongh0rn antelope Is approaching extinction. Formerly roaming from the Saskatchewan to Mexico, and east to the Missouri river. 1t Is now confined to few hundred wild animals and a few more in en- closures
 Rowing creatures, easily the swift est runners on the continent, living mainly in the open, they have be- come easy prey for long-range rifles when feet-f0oted enemies were cas- lily outdistanced.
 Even their remarkable signaling system has not saved them. Ernest ton-Thompson has explained how. on approach of some strange object. the antelope through set of muscles raises with jerk the hairs on the white trump patches on either side.
 This flash shines afar like a patch of snow, and the message is read by ali who have noses to read, for with the flash of hair is liberated an odor of musk from gland located in patch of brown hair in the white bloom.
 The flash Is given and away they go. If the flash is not seen their keen sense of smell carries the mes- sage even over long distances.

Republicans Running Around
TO See if Somebody Can't
Suggest a Way Out.
BY DGU' d Laurence.
Especial Correspondent Of The EVe'

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S Copyright,
19c2).-The political dilemma of the
moment-whether to put out a new
issue of bonds TO the amount of one
and one.half billions or to impose
$3.50, 900, 900 of taxes per year for the
next three years-is causing sleeplcss
nights for the chieftaias of he Re
publican Party9
The leaders realize that the situa.
ton is bad either way; new bond
issue Is unsound finance but fairly
good politics. while direct taxation is
sound finance and very bad politics.
Members of Congress are seeking
the advice OF the President and the
Secretary of the Treasury. They will
get from Mr.. Mellon the judgment
which he has always given-what the
Treasury considers to be sound
tinance-but whether the party leaders
Will accept the plan or make their
own remains to be seen.
In any event, here are the reasons
why a bond issue is opposed and why
the Treasury believes direct taxation is
essential if the bonus is absolutely in
evitablc. And after examining these
reasons members OF Congress will be
able to tell the White House why they
believe direct taxation should be avoid
ed If the Republican Party is to re-
tain control of Congress.
The Treasury insists that even
though only 1850, 900, 900 a year may
be needed to pay the soldier bonus
and this is a minimum guess, for
everybody agrees that it might run as
high as $3.50, 900. 900 in the first two
years-the total amount that may be
required must be taken into considera-
tion in any bond issue.
In other words, IL the Government
must borrow a billion and half dol
lars more money from the American
people, the total, sum that will have tC
be obtained will be nearly eight billion
dollars in the next two or three years
because six and half billions must
