MARKS AT LOW TIDE
Very Little Business For German
( Money In London Markets.

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l
London, January 1S.-The drop OF
German marks continued today and
this morning it was possible to buy
sc, 900 of them with one pound sterl-
ing. There was little business al
this figure, however, and the rate
served rather as an indication OF
the view financial circles take of the
Ruhr situation. French and Belgian
money weakened in early dealings,
while the suspension of the debt
funding negotiations caused the New
York rate to drop to $4.64 5-S.
The foreign exchange market was
utterly dem6ralized today with in
ternational operations in continen-
tai currencies practically at stand
still, any business ~transacted being
purely in the nature Of gamble.
German marks at noon were quot
ed at 105, 900 70 10000 to the pound
sterling. The French franc stood at
77.75 and the Belgian franc at 1885

GREEN DYE FROM CORN coBs
Science Has Added Another Achieve
ment to Its Record in Use of
Raw Material.

Science has found way of utiltz-
ing all corn cobs, short or long, in the
manufacture of various chemicals. As
the corn cob consists of cellulose,
which is valuable for making many
products, such as celluloid and paper,
it is considered desirable to save the
substance of the cob. The furfural,
therefore, is taken from the extract
which is obtained by boiling the cob
in water and the cellulose can thus
be kept for other purposes.
This liquid is employed for many
purposes in Industrial chemistry, and
can be so treated that it will yield n
bright green dye, which is much liked
by women of fashion, says the De
troit News.

GROW ONE BIG APPLE;
NOT TWO LITTLE ONES

Good thinning each year, along
with other good orchard practices,
is producing annual crops of from
800 to 1000 boxes of apples per
acre, reports M. d. Armstrong,
State College extension service
specialist in horticulture. The
orchards which are consistently
returning high annual yields are
consistently thinned each year.
Save time by Systematically
working over each tree.
Fruit trees which are vigorous
and produce good average
growth are most apt to produce a
good annual crop. Trees which
are permitted to bear an overload
of fruit seldom make enough wood
growth and are not able to ac-
emulate enough of reserve plant
foods to set buds for the next
years crop.
In order for trees TO form buds
there must be good surplus Of
the plant foods called carbohyd-
rates in the tree early in the seas
on. The development Of the heavy
crop and the extension of new
shoots is a heavy drain on the
tree which generally results in the
formation Of new fruit buds for
the next year even on spurs which
do not blossom.
Thorough thinning early in the
season reduces the demands on
the tree for seed and apple devel-
opment, assists in maintaining the
vigor Of, the tree and increases
the average annual crop.
Arrangements have been made
by Will w. Henry, county agent,
to have Mr.. Armstrong give two
demonstrations on the thinning of
fruit on Tuesday, June 26. The
first meeting will be at j. M.
Joseph s place, one-half mile north
and one-quarter mile west from
the Panther lake school house,
east of Kent, at 1000 a. M, and
-he other at 200 p. m. in w. W.
Nenart's orchard near Kirkland.
Mr. Armstrong will give in adj
lition, a talk on horticulture il
ustrated by charts which will be

TO UNITE TWO CONTINENTS
Pan-Amercan Railroad Is a stupen-
dous Project Which Is Apparent
" Near Realization.

The time is approaching. and will
come sooner than most people expect,
when 1t will be possible to travel In
comfort by rail from New York, Chi.
cago or SIN Francisco to Brazil Sunti-
ago or Buenos Aires, by the Pan
American railroad This great north
and south line is stupendous project,
observes the Scientific American
Magazine.
The scheme in its entirety involves
large figures and heavy costs the total
length Of the line being 10116 miles,
which is not so very far short of the
combined length of the three shortest
Of our transcontinental systems. It
should be understood that the enter
prise does not, and never did, contem-
plate the building of an entirely new
system of that length; for much of the
route is made up Of already existing
stretches of national railroads. TAX
Ing New York as a starting point, the
line runs to the Mexican frontier, and
from thence through Mexico, Guate-
mala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa
Rico, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador,
Peru, Bolivia and Argentina, to Buenos
Aires.
Even today it is possible to travel by
railroad from New York to the from
tier Of Guatemala; but from Guate
mala to the Canal zone over half of
the line has yet to be built. The long
est stretch of uncompleted line is
from the Canal zone to the boundary
line between Peru and Bolivia, where,
out Of total of 1892 miles, only $40
miles have been completed. Also there
is stretch of 127 miles in Bolivia on
which work has recently been com
menced The line from Bolivia to
Buenos Aires, a distance of 1,0G0 miles,
has been completed. To date $500
miles out Of total of 10,116 miles
have been built.
