Gardeners usually sow more seeds

Lettuce Is generally sown entirely

Worlds Climate chanseIess.

The first striking fact in the geo
logical history of climate Is that the
present climate Of the world has been
maintained since the date of the earli-
est, unaltered sedimentary deposits.
The oldest sandstOnes OF the Scotch
highlands and the English longmynds
show that in pre-Cambrian times the
winds had the same strength, the rain
drops were of the same size, and they
fell with the same force as at the
present day. The mean climate OF
the world has been fairly constant,
though there have been local var.
atlons which have led to the develop.
ment OF glaciers In regions now ice
free, at various points In the geologl.
cal scale. That there has been no
progressive chilling OF the earth since
the date OF the oldest Known sedl-
mentary rocks Is shown by their lith-
illogical characters. and by the recur.
renee OF glacial deposits, some OF
which were laid down at low levels at
intervals throughout geological time
according TO the United States geolog-
ical survey.

Small litters OF pigs are reported
in many parts this spring and lndlca-
tions are that the pig crop will be
fur below normal. This will mean
that better care Of the surviving pigs
will be necessary II the nations sup
ply OF animals Is kept anywhere near

The reason for the shortage of pigs
is explained by the fact that, due to
the cheapness Of corn the past win

brood sows, while tankage, or protein

lively high priced and was not given

Experiments with pigs show that

of the litter survive, while pigs con
fined to yards where they have to

Movable Hog House Favored.
The farmer who has large num-
Der of pigs can well afford to build
movable hog house. Such houses
designed by the Iowa experiment sta
tion at Ames, have been used for a
number of years and have proven
their worth. Recently requests for
plans were received from Italy where
some farmers had heard OF the houses
and wanted TO try them. These
houses are inexpensive easily kept
clean and can be pulled from one
field to another. They can be turned
so that sunlight is allowed TO enter
and are arranged so that plenty of
ventilation is provided for The fea-
ture OF the house is the manner In
which sunlight is allowed to enter
through the top.
The movable hog house is also eas
lily dislnfected at any time and II
several are used the hogs and pigs
can be transferred from one to an
other while cleaning is being done.
Rotation OF hog pastures prevents
infestatlons by parasites, such as
worms which get into the soil and
affect the entire herd.

While the increase In farm mort.

ade appears almost startling, the
Increase is not In itself cause for

partment Bulletin 1047, Farm Mort.
gage Loans by Banks, Insuranc,
Companies, and Other Agencies, u
new publication prepared by V. N.
Valgren and Elmer L. Engelbert and
now ready for distribution. The In
crease, say the writer's, is rather a
logical result Of increased market
value of farms The rise in these
values, In turn, reflects better farm
incomes during the decade than pre-
vailed during the preceding years,
these incomes being to a considerable
extent invested In added permanent
improvements In the form of build
ings, fences, silos, and drainage and
irrigation systems. According to pre-
limlnary reports for the census of
1920, mortgage Indebtedness on farms
operated by full owners amounted to
$4,O12,711,213, as against S1,726,172
S51 in 1910. The information avail
able concerning the amount and
sources Of farm mortgage loans in
the United States is fragmentary, the
bulletin points out.
A very large percentage of farm
mortgages Is the result of land trans.
fers, the mortgage, like tenancy, form
ing a rung In the agricultural ladder
to farm ownership. The size of the
mortgage naturally tends to bear
direct relationship to the purchase
price of the farm To the extent
that farm mortgages are the result
of investments In productive perma-
nent improvements and equipment by
existing farm owners, they evidence
progress and not repression. In gen.
eral, the increase in farm mortgages
during each decade since data were
first gathered by the census has been
most marked In sections which have
made the greatest progress during
that period. Even where improve
ments are paid for out of savings In
stead of with the proceeds Of loans,
the increased value and price of
farm Is quite certain to result In
larger mortgage In case the farm is
transferred to a new owner.

John Winthrop, rightly called the
Father of Massachusetts, for 10 years

for II of those 10 years Its governor,
died ut his home In Boston, March 20,
1649.
The passing Of Winthrop marked the
end of n distinct era In the history of
the Massachusetts Bay colony. The
era Of Winthrop was an era Of prog
ress, Of construction; an era Of Puri-
tanical intolerance held constantly In
check by the moderation and kindly
spirit of the chief magistrate himself.

his death bed he was visited by Thorn

mained Winthrop had disposed of for
the benefit Of his living children and
his creditors.

Excellent Wilt-Resistant Type Of To-
matoes.

1ney are selections from the Greater
Baltimore, Stone and Mervellle des
Marches (Marvel of the Market), three
of the best commercial varieties
grown. They possess, in addition to
wilt resistance, all the good qualities
of their parent varieties. Extensive
field tests have shown them to be well
adapted to all parts of the United
States in which tomato wilt is present.
The work done in connection with the
development of these varieties is de-
scribed in a new department bulletin.

sistant Tomatoes, by f. ]. Pritchard,
Psychologist, which may be obtained
upon application to the United States
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton.
Very few commercial varieties OF
tomatoes possess appreciable resist
ance to wilt. The Duke of York and
the Buckeye State, apparently one va
riety under two names, are highly re-
slstant, but they produce poorer fruit
than the varieties developed by the
department
Livingston's Globe is somewhat re-
sistant, but its fruit, although of good
size and shape, is Objectionable to
Gamers and also to dealers in some
other markets because Of its purple
color. Moreover, it is very susceptible

Obtain Resistant Varieties.
Superior wilt-resistant varieties
may be obtained by selection from
varieties that normally produce a
heavy crop of excellent fruit, and vary
considerably in the degree of wilt re-
slstance possessed by their individual
plants. Even If such varieties are sus-
ceptible to wilt, If they produce occa-
slonal resistant plants. they afford
good material for selection. but the Sc
lections have to be carefully tested
on uniformly wilt-infested soil for n
period of several years In order to oh.
tain the best strains or varieties-a
process requiring more time, skill and
expense than the average grower can
give to Ii. Most varieties transmit an
proximately the same degree of wilt
resistance to all their plants and con-
sequently offer little opportunity for
Improvement by selection. Tomato
plants selected. for wilt resistance
usually transmit to their immediate
offspring as much resistance as can be
developed from them by subsequent
selection In few instances increased
resistance has been obtained in the
second selection, but not in later Sc
lections
