Forty-hve hatcheries with a capacity
of 502,300 eggs are now in operation in
the state, according to ], H. Wood,
professor of poultry husbandry at the
State College of Agriculture. This rep
resents an Increase of more than 340,-
coo over last year, and indicates some
of the progress made under the new
agricultural program throughout the
state.

SUCKING SODA
THRU A STRAW
England Has Adopted Another Amer
lean Custom and Is Using
100000 Annually.

The soda straw has invaded Great
Britain en- masse, according to re-
port to the department OF commerce
from the commercial attaches othce
IN London. Last year fifty million
straws were consumed by patrons OF
British fountains and tea rooms and
most of them came from America.
The well known makes OF American
soda straws have been well known in
the British markets for the past four
years. Recently small quantities OF
natural straws from Japan have APP
peared on this market, at about one
half the price Of the American prod
uct, but the Japanese article is very
inferior in quality and has not gwen
satisfaction. There are practically no
soda straws made in England.
The soda fountain trade has been
increasing by leaps and bounds in the
past two years, and by the end OF
1928 there should be between 800 and
/ 900 fountains in the British Isles
1t is estimated by prominent mem
Der of the trade that the consumption
of ice cream in the British Isles has

3 AND A HALF BILLION
RUST AWAY YEARLY
CO SION AND RUST OF
IRON AND STEEL CAUSE
ENORMOUS WASTAGE.

Total annual wastage of iron and
steel in the world is placed at nearly
S3,500,000,000 by British authorities
who have recently completed exhaust
i've researches, Alfred d. Finn, direc-
tor of the Engineering Foundation,
announced in describing important
tests aimed at checking corrosion. He
quoted from a report to the founda-
ton from J. Vipond Davies, OF New
York, president OF the United Engi-
neering Society
Millions of tons of cast iron have
been put under ground and under
water in pipes, tunnel Innings and
other engineering structures" said
Mr.. Finn, and it has been observed
that certain kinds of soil and water
act upon some kinds of cast iron,
slowly soitening them SO that the OBJ
jects can be cut with a penknife.
Strange to say, iron thus softened
grows hard again when exposed to
the air.
One Of the interesting stories
brought to light in the researches
deals with the Wastage in wrought
iron guns during more than three CEN
turtles of submergence in the sea. The
guns were raised in 1885 from the
Mary Rose, an English man of war;
sunk by the French in battle near
Portsmouth in 1545. Cast iron cannon
balls that should have weighed thirty
pounds weighed only nineteen, while

Quart of Water
Cleans Kidneys
Take a Little Salts if Your Back
Hurts, or Bladder is
Troubling YoV

No man or woman can make mis-
take by flushing the kidneys OCCASION
ally, says a wcll-knoWn authority. Eat
ing too much rich food creates acids,
which excite the kidneys. They become
overworked from the strain, get slug
gish and fail to filter the waste and
poisons from the blood. Then we get
sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep
lessness and urinary disorders often
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys, or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, begin
drinking a quart of water each day,
also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a tablespoon
full in glass of water before breakfast,
and in a few days your kidneys may act
fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to flush and stimulate the
kidneys; also to help neutralize the
acids in the system, so they no longer
cause irritation, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
delightful effervescent lithia-water drink
which everyone should take now and
then to help keep the kidneys clean
and active and the blood pure, thereby
often avoiding serious kidney complica-
tions. BY all means have your physi-
clan examine your kidneys at least
twice year.

about what can be expected. The
plants are grown from nuts planted
preferably in December At the pres
ent time there is a considerable sup
ply of one-year old seedlings.
Oil mill machinery can be adapted
to working up the nuts, expeller type
equipment being the more suitable. In
preparing the nuts heat must not be
used, as the oil tends to solidify. In
asmuch as the estimated demand can
be supplied by 10000 acres the in

CAN PRODUCE TUNG
OIL IN so. GEORGIA
VEGETABLE PRODUCT THAT
IS USED IN MANUFACTURE
OF FINE VARNISHES.

Tung oil, or Chinese wood oil, is a
vegetable oil used in compounding
certain high grade varnishes. The nat
ural home of the tree which produces
the oil-bearing nuts is China but
trees planted in Florida in 1912 have
attracted the U. S. Paint Manufact-
urers' Association to the possibility
of supplying Americas demand for
this oil from Florida groves.
The Tung tree can be grown sue
cessfully in any part of south Georgia
says F. H. Smith, chemist of the
Georgia Experiment Station, and a
number of trees have survived since
the 1912 paintings as far up in the
state rs Griffin, and on quite different
types of soil from that on which the
Florida trees are planted. The esti-
mated acreage needed to furnish all
the oil the paint industry demands
stands somewhere above $4,000 acres,
on the basis of yields obtained in eX
perimental groves in this country, but
no doubt if there was domestic sup
ply a much greater area would be
utilized. There is no reason why some
of this acreage should not be planted
in south Georgia At this time the
only uncertainty is whether the paint
people will buy the oil or nuts after
they are produced Developments
within the past few weeks indicate
that they are willing to contract for
a limited supply, and for this reason
it seems advisable to report results OF
experiments with the tung oil trees.
Free From Disease and Insects.
There are some attractive features
about growing tung oil trees. They
are particularly free from disease and
insect enemies IN this state, the foliage
and fruit alike being unattraCtiVe to
the pests and distasteful to animals.
The nuts grow III clusters of tours and
fives in a hull about the size OF the
walnut. The whole fruit as it comes
from the tree (air dry contains So
per cent nuts, 80 per cent kernel Gun
extracted), and p per cent oil.
A sample of kernels from nuts
grown at the Georgia Experiment Sta |
ton contained 63 per cent oil, 81 per
cent meal residue, and in the uneN- !
tracted kernels there was zoo peri
cent nitrogen. On account of the |
poisonous nature of the oil the eX-
tracted cake would be useless as |
feed, but could be used for fertilizer
purposes. At the Georgia Station it
proved to be only slightly less val
liable than cotton seed meal as
source of nitrogen. With extraction OF
the greater portion of the oil the nj
trogen content would be close to six
per cent, and the cake would also con-
tain about two per cent phosphoric

DEATH BARES MARRIAGES;

The story of man known to his

Wheelock, SO years old, OF Memphis,

Wife Attends Funeral.
A strange woman in black, during
the funeral service, told mourners that
she was the mans wife. Her story was
doubted until she showed papers prov
ing her claim.
The papers were agreements by
which Jay Wheelock and his wife,
formerly Miss Lucille White, of Dali
las, Tex, separated two days after
their marriage. Mrs. Wheelock was
given $150,000 in lieu OF any future
claim to her husbands estate. Papers
in the possession Of the dead man
were copies OF the agreements,

Circumstances Somewhat Rare, bu'
Not Unknown to the Students
Of ornithoIogy.

The leopard may not he able tn
change his spots. but the feathers on
the ground finch Of Chimbo valley in
western Ecuador have changed their
color. This mystery was explained to
the American Ornithologists' nnion
meeting in Chicago by DR.. Frank NJ.
Chapman, curator of birds of the
American Museum of Natural History.
The ground inhabiting finch ranges
from Mexico to southern Peru. In all
this 5.O00-mile stretch Of country these
birds have conspicuous black throat
band and underparts Of gray and
white. This is the case everywhere
except In one small river valley, where
the bird loses its black collar and be-
comes almost entirely white.
Doctor Chapman said that this diff,
ferent dress was not due to environ
ment, but one Of the rare Instances
In which such change had been de-
tected In birds. The mutation which
spontaneously occurred has simply be-
come permanent and specific through
the isolation Of this group Of birds.

The ostrich. of all extant birds, lays
the largest egg in actual dimensions.
Relatively to its size, however. the
kiwi, strange wingless New Zealand
species, Is the champion, with an egg
not less than five inches long, al
though the extreme length Of the bird
itself Is only % inches.
The smallest birds eggs are those
OF the minuter species OF humming
birds. Nevertheless, the cuckoo lays
the relatively smallest egg. Though
the Jackdaw and the cuckoo are OF
the same size, the formers egg is Eve
or SIX times larger than the latter's.
The fact that the cuckoo is accus-
toned to deposit its eggs in the nests
OF other birds, usually much smaller
than itself, doubtless accounts for
this phenomenon.
