W Omen's Smoking
Credited With Big
Tobacco Use Gain

Increase in the number Of woman
smokers is declared today by /.
L. Hughes, chief of the tobacco
section Of the Commerce Depart
ment, as one of the likely eXpla-
nations of the tremendous rise In
recent years in tho cigarette con-
sumption in the United States,
In the course of his regular sta
tistical study of the consumption
Mr. Hughes has found that the use
OF cigarettes in the United States,
which was $4,000, 100000 in 1919,
has gained fourfold in ten years,
amounting to $4,000, 100000 in 1923.
There have been great gains in
other countries of the world, but
Japan, where the rate of increase
came closest to matching that Of
the United States, has advanced
from 1913 consumption of 7000,-
100000 cigarettes to only 23.000,-
100000 in 1928.
Mr.. Hughes says the consump-
tion Of tobacco probably is infiu-
enced as little by the economic
conditions of prosperity of a peo-
pie as that noted in any COM
modify. Absence OF prosperity
among a people may cause re-
version from the use Of the more
expensive TO the cheaper forms OF
tobacco.

corded the Grand Duchess Cyril, and
said again that his trip was one OF
pleasure only, that he had made
absolutely no plans and that he was
not here on invitation.

Politics, he made il clear, did not

ritualistic vein his belief in the right
OF his brother, the Grand Duke
Cyril, 10 the throne Of the Russians
he claims. and his faith that some
day Russia would be ruled by cars

Prevention Best Remedy
for Chicken Diseases

When one goes into chicken house
and hears the birds singing, it is a
pleasant contrast to the appearance
of a flock that is droopy, with pale
combs and indicating a general I'M
healthy condition. The difference in
the majority of cases is not due to
one producer curing the disease and
the other not curing it, but rather to
the fact that one breeder prevents the
trouble that is affecting the other per-
sons flock.
Most cases of roup and similar con-
tagious diseases are the result of the
disease being brought to the farm with
new fowls which were not isolated
until they had been proved to be
healthy. Sometimes the disease comes
from an outbreak of previous attack
after which the premises were not
properly cleaned up and disinfected.
Lice and mites can do a great
amount of harm if they have their
own way. The good poultryman does
not wait until they get strong foot
hold in the flock, but carries on a pre-
ventive war on such pests.

Pure Bred Sires
Bring Improvement
Use of Better Bulls Increases
Milk Production.

prepared by the United States Department
of yAgriculture.)
mo other great improvement in our
dairy herds can be obtained at so low
cost as the improvement by the use
Of better bulls" This comment is
made by the bureau of dairying, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
in the foreword of new directory of
cooperative bull associations in the
United States.
The statement is based on the COM
parative milk and butterfat records of
large numbers of cows and of their
daughters sired by pure-bred bulls. In
milk production the daughters ex-
celled their dams by 14.5 per cent,
on an average, and in butterfat pro-
duction by 16 per cent. These figures
represent an increased milk yield of
966 pounds and an increased butter
fat yield of 4S pounds. That the in
creases are due to qualities inherited
from the pure-bred sires is fair con-
clusion based on the knowledge that
in nearly every case the dams and
daughters were in the same herd and
received the same care.
The new directory shows that at
the beginning of this year there were
220 cooperative bull associations in
the United States. These associations
owned 1908 carefully selected pure
bred dairy sires. While the increase
in production because of good breed
ing is very noticeable in the first gen.
GRAFTON, the benefits are also ac-
cumulative, though the gains are
usually less rapid in subsequent gen.
erations.

Cucumber Beetles Most
Destructive of Pests

Striped cucumber beetles, the most
destructive pests of cucumbers, mel
ons, squashes and other vine plants,
are readily controlled by busting the
young plants with a mixture of one
part of calcium arsenate and 20 parts
of gypsum, according to DR.. Carl j.
Drake, Iowa State college.
Dust the young plants when they
first come up and follow with two or
three applications per week and again
after every rain. Ten to twelve ap-
plications during the season will usual
ly hold the beetles in check.
The dust may be applied with a
shaker made by punching holes in the
bottom of a small can with an S-penny
nail, or may simply be scattered by
hand Circular No. 60 which de-
scribes in detail the common melon
and cucumber insects and gives con-
troll measures for each, may be Sc
cured on request from the Bulletin
Section, Iowa State College, Ames,
