WHAT ARE VITAMINES?

MR. MANN OF Anytown read in
1Fl the papers that professor at
Columbia university had succeeded
in isolating vitamine.
What's all this vitamlne stuff

isolation in terms Of living in the
woods.
Never has there been a healthier
interest in the vitamine subject and
there are any number Of people who,

THE CORN BORER is
NOW MOVING SOUTH
PEST THAT FEEDS ON GRAIN
HAS REACHED OHIO AND is
HARD TO KILL OUT.

COLUMBUS, O-Despite strenu-
Gus resistance by government scient-
lists the European corn borer has been
gouging its way southwark from the
great lakes until now it is threatening
the Ohio state capital, $50 miles south
More than 10 per cent of the total
corn acreage of the United States is
already infested by this insect, and
this infestation is growing faster than
state and federal authorities can cope
with it. Lines have been stretched
ouarantining the borer districts,
guards have kept strict watch against
expectation of corn from these dis
tricts, even parasites have been tried
on the pest. Yet its march into the
corn country is progressing faster
than ever before.
"a field that had II per cent in
festation last year" declares l.. l.
Huber. entomologist in charge OF the
corn borer laboratory at Oak Har-
Dor, O., this years has per cent OF
its stalks infested"
Yet the campaign against this worm
has been more centralized than ever
before.
Last YEAR" says Huber, 1--WE had
difficulty in finding egg masses; This
wear it is possible to find 50 or o. egg
masses a day in some OF the infested
fields. More eggs could only mean
more larvae.
The only preventive against the Dor
er thus far found has been burning
and cleaning up the constalks in early
spring. Those farmers who did 50 this
spring will probably have lighter
infestation, Huber says

BEE is BELIEVED TO
BE REALLY BUSY
SIXTY LBS. HONEY ESTIMAT.
ED AS RESULT OF OVER
$4,000, 900 MILES FLIGHT.

A correspondent with a statistical
turn of mind, says the Manchester
Guardian, supports the busy little
bee" theory.
A single hive may in a season pro-
duce from so pounds to 100 pounds
of honey; not stupendous amount,
one thinks, remembering that there
may be from 10000 to 10000 bees en-
gagged in its collection, but the feat
becomes more wonderful when it is
analysed,
1t takes $50 average bees to weigh
one ounce, and as each bee can only
carry about one-quarter OF its own
weight of nectar, that means l,400
bees would be required to make one
Journey each to collect a single ounce
of honey.
The immensely of the task is in
creased when it is remembered that
the precious nectar loses nearly one
half its weight in transit, and that,
therefore, an ounce of honey repre-
sents the 1abors of $4,000 bees on one
journey, or nearly $4,000 journeys by
a single bee.
AS these journeys VIII seldom aver
age less than one mile each for the
outward and homeward passage, it can
be seen that the gathering of one
ounce of honey entails flights approx
mating to 10000 miles, and i'll a hive
containing 90 pounds of honey there
is the concentrated results OF over 20,-
100000 miles of flights.
One ceases to wonder that the aver
age life of bee is only six or eight
weeks. in which short time it wears
out its tiny wings and exhausts its
body.

lean cotton expert attached to the Ar
eentine ministry of agriculture.
The cost for each pound last year
in the United States was Is cents,
compared with about Is cents in Ar

higher in Argentina, but, everything
considered, Mr.. Tut believes that cot

to be more profitable there than in

THE RANDOLPH FAIR
WILL BE BIG EVENT
FINEST EXHIBITS WILL BE ON
DISPLAY, AND CUTHBERT
EXPECTS CROWDS.

CUTHBERT, Ga.-The week OF
October % to November will bring
to Cuthbert the largest crowds ever
witnessed in this city, the occasion be-
ing the annual Randolph county fair.
The agricultural home department
and poultry products promise to sur
pass anything of like display ever col

cry school community in the county
is working for the big prizes offered

fit of the big cash prizes.
The poultry show will have entries

Many leading Randolph county
farmers will put in individual exhibits,
working for the $50 individual display
premium. One farmer reports that he
has on his farm every vegetable, mel
on, fruit and farm product that can be
grown in any southern state. 1t Will
be we'll worth trip to Cuthbert to
see how many things one Randolph
county farm can produce, and as sew
eral big farmers will compete in this
class, the variety of exhibits will be
remarkable.
The home department promises a
display of handiwork, canned goods,
iellies, preserves and pickles never be-
fore equaled in Georgia, and in this
exhibit there will be a most interest
ing collection of antiques, hand-Woven
and hand-knitted bedspreads-articles
handed down through many genera
tions of families identified with Ran
dolph county's development.
The midway attractions will be un-
usually fine. The big aerial circus,
tight rope walkers, high dive acts and
roller skate novelty will be free at
fractions worthy of note, while space
prohibits mentioning all the other ar
raw of amusement attractions that
will be here.
School Day.
Friday, October 81, will be school
dav. when holiday will be declared
in all the county schools, and the
teachers from every school district
will bring in the pupils to pull Tor
