made-one for high lights with short

each negative are then coated with
celluloid varnish and the remainder re

American Bankers Association,
through its Administrative Commit
tee, has placed itself squarely on rec

ndamentally good for farming Is

What Farming Requires
Farming requires skill OF no mean
sort. A farmer is ever facing new
conditions and must adjust his sctivi-
ties to cope with them. The problems
OF the soil, OF crop production, live
stock breeding and feeding, and busi-
ness management OF the farm call for
as high an order OF brain power as
any industry. The young man OF to-
day need not leave the farm for a
career There is abundant opportuni.
ty for the exercise OF his best facul.
ties in helping to develop basic
Industry that affects the welfare Of
every human being.
In order to farm properly and eco
nomically. the farmer must be equip
ped with high degree of technical
skill Farming by guesswork belongs
to the past. No longer can he gauge
his activities by the position and
shape OF the moon. Success demands
the application OF the best knowledge
and experience available. New prob
lens arise daily. New solutions must
be found. Discoveries are being made
that affect practical farm methods
tremendously. Insect pests and plant
diseases are constantly putting in
their appearance and must be com
bated by the most effective methods.
Competition makes that imperative.
Old Ways Do Not Pay

TO DEcIPHER MANUSCRIPTS
Photooraphers Find Ink Which Has
Faded Into llleaibiiIty May stu BE
OPAQUE to Ultraviolet Rays.

Photographers have found that they
can obtain very different effects when
quartz lamps are used in place OF the
more common sources OF light. The
reason is simple enough. The quartz
allows the ready passing Of the So
called ultraviolet rays of light. which
Will not penetrate glass, and these IN
turn produce different effect from the
rest of the rays.
With colored vases, flowers or dress
goods the effects are equally surpris'
ing and sometimes may lead to impor-
tant applications. For instance, a
French photographer has found that
Ink which has faded into illegibility
NAV still be opaque to the ultraviolet
rays. BY photographing documents on
which the ink had been faded he has
been able TO restore the iegibility
Moreover the investigator has found
that in some old documents, dating
back to the Twelfth century, his quartz
light photographs showed the original
wording. which had later been changed
in still legibie Ink. Such decipher-
ing of old manuscripts which hereto
fore have not been readable ought to
add greatly to our knowledge of other
days.
In the present, when many old manu-
scripts are being discovered, this proc
ess Is invaluable.
