Need of Food Control Laws Empha'

Need of Food-C Control Laws Empha-
sized BY Deartment
To emphasize the need of food
control laws, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture calls atten-
ton to the great growth OF. food pre-
paration in factories. Not many de-
cades ago much of the food consum-
ed was prepared in the home or OBJ
tanned in the imm ediate neighbor-
hood, and since the consumer knew
about the conditions of its prepara-
ton there was little need for food
laws. Today much of the food is pro-
duced and prepared long way from
those who consume 1t, and as con-
sequence some sort of Government
control is necessary.
The great volume of commerce in
foods is indicated in the last census
report, for 1919, which shows that
the food-manufacturing industry as
a whole is more than four times larg-
er in value than the next largest
manufacturing industry, which is
iron and steel. Meat packing alone
represents a greater value. The to-
tai value of manufactured food prod
ucts for 1919 was $1S,S91,914,OOO,
while automobiles produced in the
same year were valued at $2,SS7,-
$4,000, boots and shoes at $1.149,-
$50, 900, clothing at $2,343,l96,OOO.
and foundry and machine shop pro-
ducts at S2,321, 129, 900.
Among the food products that
make up the grand total, flour-mill
products stand next to packing
house products. the figures for the
year being $2,193, 1907. 900, as COM
pared with sS,995.977, 900. Bakery
products amounted to nearly $780,
600, 900 and sugar almost to $1,000
100000.

Soil Conditions Influence Night Air
Temperatures.

Temperatures.
A relation has been shown to exist
between the temperature of the soil
and the ensuing minimum tempera-
ture of the air imme diately above,
says the Weather Bureau of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Low night-air temperatures in gar
den and truck farms may often be
prevented by the selection of soil in
which there is a sandy component,
as sand and sandy loans generally
store up more heat during the day
than do most other soils and give off
more in the nighttime by conduction
to the air above, thus diminishing
the probability of critical tempera-
lures and the formation of damaging
frosts. The land in use should be
we'll drained of surplus moisture as
wet soils are invariably cold soils,
and more susceptible to frost dam
age. Any soil, whether it be sand,
loan or clay is warmer when it is
clean and free from weeds and un-
necessary vegetation
Frost may form on one side of a
street and not on the other, or in
one section of level farm and not
in another. for one or more of sew
eral reasons, such as difference in
soils, slight difference in elevation,
in moisture, or in kind and extent
of surface covering, or the amount
of insulation received Frost may
appear in sections which have wet,
cold soils covered with heavy vege-
tation or uncultivated, while on the
same night and under the same me-
neurological conditions it does not
form on other ground close by where
the soil is relatively dry, warm, and
clean.

Weather Bureau Again Aids Marine
interests.

The steamer Wyandotte grounded
Sunday morning, September "a,
about IL a. m. near the mouth OF
Thunder Bay River on Lake Michi-
gan. At this time the water was
about 10 inches below normal. Two
harbor tugs failed in their attempt
to release her, and the Alpena, Mich,
station of the Weather Bureau of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture was appealed to for informa-
ton as to when operations could be
resumed. A careful survey of the
situation was made and the captain
of the vessel was informed that the
water would reach normal for few
minutes and then recede at 4.45 p.
m. and again at 6 p. m, when 1t
would probably continue to rise with
short fluctuations to above normal
and then recede slowly back to nor
NAL. Arrangements were made to
indicate the time to start floating OPP
erations by hosting pennant in the
tower. The changes in the water
level came as predicted and the Wy
andotte was floated when the water
was about inches above normal.
Instances of this sort show par
ticularly how the information obtain
ed by the Weather Bureau, especial
ly on the Great Lakes, may be APP
piled to save needless effort and ex-
pense. Naval Radio Service furnish
es such information at any time to
vessels and their captains.

an average of 1852 eggs each from
Nov. /, 1921, up to Oct. 1, of this

Plan to Open Race Track and Pool
Selling in Chicago

Some daily newspapers which are
always abusing the mayor and using
up type in berating the city admins
tration are said to have reason for
playing up the wonderfully windy
scheme to reopen the sport of Kings"
in Chicago.
Perhaps they would like to see more
hold-ups here and more young men out
OF work looking for something easy so
that they could shower more abuse on
the police.
Some leading citizens" who favor a
horse racing festival here are remark
able for their leading" qualities. But
leading qualities without much money
and popular support won't lead very
far
Many people believe that a race
track in Chicago with wide open bet
ting means the reOpening of ChicagO's
past race track record of murder,
crookedness, robbery and crime
Read that record and be convinced.
Hold-Up men are relieving the money
situation in Chicago very rapidly as
it is.
1t is improbable that the race track
proposition would be welcomed on ac-
count of the great number of hOld-up
men it would drag here from other
cities
1t would glut the hold-up market.
But it wouldn't abolish it by any
means. 1t would simply overwOrk it.

races They have to in order to prac-
tice the sport of kings in living off

survivors of perhaps the worst fatality
that has occurred in the history of

great Cold Storage Warehouse was
one of the impressive buildings at the
Worlds Fair of 1898. 1t was a large
frame building. near the heart of the
Exposition grounds and in the center
of the big structure was a high wood
en- tower, square in shape, which
reached height of fifty feet above the
roof of the main structure. The main
building caught fire and when ii was
wrapped in the flames. which spread
rapidly. two companies of firemen
were ordered into this tower to play
water upon the fire beneath and
around them. To the horror of the
hundred thousand people looking on,
the tower was devOured by the fire
as if it were paper. Many of the
heroic firemen were burned to death
and Captain Cunningham, then a
young pipeman on one of the com
panies in the tower, was among the
firemen who were BADLY injured His
wounds incapacitated him for some
time. The Assistant Fire Marshal who
ordered the men into the tower was
never the same afterwards. Captain
