FINEST WATCHES

A repeater watch has just been
completed by a Swiss firm, the
platinum case of which measures
only half an inch in diameter. 1t is
claimed to be the smallest watch in
the world that strikes TIE hours.
Much smaller non-striking watches
are, however, in existence. One made
by Geneva matchmaker measures
only one-sisteenth Of Nh inch across
the dial 1t forms the top of a gold
penholder, and tho so tiny, keeps ex-
cellent time.
A midget watch, intended to be
worn as a shirt stud, was made In
1890 by a Newcastle matchmaker.
A few years ago 1t was on exhibition
there. and was still going as we'll as
ever. The dial is only three-six-
teenths-or less than quarter-of
an inch in diameter.
Another tiny timepiece was re-

WOLF BOUNTIES PAID BY
MISTAKE FOR COYOTE PELTS

Bounties received for the destruc-
ton of harmful wild animals fire.
quently furnish an opportunity to
fitch money from public treasures
under false pretenses. The bounty
system, applied to the capture of per-
datory animals and rodents. has
many disadvantages and is usually
much more expensive in the economic
value of results obtained than the
plan advocated by the Biological Sur
vey of the United States Department
OF Agriculture of putting experienced
hunters ON salaries in infested terri
tory. The opportunity for dishon-
est practice under the bounty system
is we'll illustrated by case that came
to the attention of the predatory ami
NAL inspector of the Biological SUR
vey stationed at Olympia, WASH
The auditor for Grant County, af-
ter paying out much money in boun-
ties for timber wolves" decided to
send one of the wolf pelts to the
district inspector of the Biological
Survey for Identification. 1t was
pronounced a coyote pelt. although
somewhat darker and larger than the
average.
The hunter who brought in the
pelts claimed that the animals were
driven down from the timber to the
lowlands by forest fires. The local
coyote bounty is 81 while that of the
wolf is SIS.

During the fiscal year 1922, the

seeds. OF these 1900 came to the

Through this service the work of the
seed-testing laboratories is imme-

A total of 5.962 samples of vege-
table seeds was purchased and test
ed for termination, and the results
of these tests will be published.
Some of these seeds-garden peas
were also grown in the field for trne-
ness to name. Sweet-corn samples
are being grown for field stands and
observation as to the presence Of

New Cold Drinks Flavorcd With APP
ple Now Possible.

Now comes apple ice cream, or
rather the flavoring that makes 1t
possible. A synthetic apple oil that
possesses the aroma Of ripe apples
has been prepared by DR.. F. B. Pow
or and V. X. Chestnut, Of the Bureau
OF Chemistry. United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture, and a public
service patent has been granted for
the process.
Doctor Power. who has been work
ing since 1920 on the problem OF pro-
ducing this oil synthetically. bases
his product on chemical inyestiga-
lions OF the odorous constituents OF
apples. His preparation has the
merit OF having no substance in 1t
that does not occur naturally in the
ample. In this ii differs from sother
artificially prepared flavors.
The bureau has prepared q most
palatable carbonated beverage with
the apple oil as its flayoring consti-
tuent. Doctor Power says that the
oil being volatile may no. be used In
the preparation OF food products that
have TO be heated. but Is especially
suitable for flavoring cold drinks and
fee cream.

Argentina and U. y. Lead World In

Approximately so per cent OF the
corn entering into world trade comes
from Argentina and the United

ments from the United States exceed
ed those from Argentina by 2l'Ooo'-
900 bushels. but prior to that year
Argentina was usually the larger
shipper, average exports from tha'
country before the war (lsO9-lslS)
having been. between one-third ana
one-half of all corn entering INTO
world trade and about two and one
half times the quantity exported by
the United States.
Exports of corn from Argentina In
1921 totaled about 112,00O,OOO BUSH
els, or 1000, 600 bushels less than
the pre-war average exports ana
about $4,000, 900 bushels less than
the exports of 1920. On the other
hand, exports from the United STATES
in 1921 were 132.O00,oOO bushels
which was 100000 bushels more
