MAGIC IN CALIFORNIA

California is excited lately about devil worship
pers cult" A handbook of magic discovered in Oak
land -aong with other evidences of strange rites gives
rns interesting recipe for summoning potent spirit
from the vastly deep and making the world trembe:
Catch black hen, obtaining that has never
laid eggs
Catch it with care, so it does not cry out. To do
this, catch it at o'clock in the morning.
Take 1t tG>the center of crossroads that form
a~perfect With wand of cypress draw mystic
circle
This done place the hen in the center and cut its
body in two parts, pronouncng these words
'Elonl, ~Essan, Fingatoris, Estiratis, Perpendu,
Sarabn
Then, after turning the face to the east and bow
ing, rece the curse of the Great Spirit Aidonay, and
you may confront the spirit immediately"
1t is possible, too that anyone silly enough to try
fool stunt like that would be in such state of
cited expectation at the end of his mumboi work
that he might really imagine spirit rising before him
to do his will
Dangerous business, taht! Dangerous that it, to
weak minds 1t does the spirits of the deep no harm
and the solid earth stands usual andSthe and
continue to shine But it upsets foolish peoples
brains. Yet for thousands of years. nearly everybody
believed in such rubbish Magic is probably older than
religion. Science at last is sweeping it away.

Difference Between Snapped"
and ''Picked' Cotton Is Very
Slight, Spinning Tests Show

| Preliminary experiments by the
, department of agriculture indicate
that although the spinning quality
of ">nap' cotton does not differ
materially from that of picked :
cotton. swapping" as a method Of
harvesting lowers the grade, the
difference in the cotton tested
amounting to about twa grades.
\ distinction is made between
snap cotton. which has fairlv V ma
turcd, and "holle>. the cotton
taken from hollis arrested in their
growth by frost. No hollies were
included in the test.
The decreasing cost in harvesting
cotton hv the snap method. the de-
partmcnt has found also, may be
much more than offset by the extra
expense Of passing cotton through
Eoll cXtrartors and bv the loss of
value resulting from the lower
grade
Taking the results Of the tests
as typical, the department saws.
swapping cotton at the officially
quoted prices and under conditions
which prevailed in 1925, resulted in
4 loss to the grower Of $7.29 bale
as compared with picking.
When greater discounts were as
Scssed against the cotton because
Of its being snapped, and wnen the
cotton was sold in the seed, the loss
was from approximately $l4 to So
a bale.
This is the first of Il series of
similar tests. and until confirmed
ty subsequent work, the results
should not be accepted as conrlus-
i've. Nevertheless, declared depart
ment officials. i'll view of the wide
spread interest in the problem. it
is thought advisable not to DELAY
publication of the results thus far
obtained.
Purpose of Test
The primary purpose Of the test
Was TO determine how and to what
extent the grade and spinning char-
tcteriSticS OF cotton are affected
by the swapping method of harvest
Ing. Four lots of cotton We're used
n the test, two grown in Oklahoma
and two in Texas, alternate rows OF
the same field being picked and the
Intervening rows being snapped.
Imperial Valley press., 1926-10-29

The snap cotton in each case was
t|a>sed two grades lower than the
corresponding picked cotton.
The lots were manufactured into
yarns under similar moisture and
echanical conditions. The clean
ing machines removed approximate
" five per cent more waste from
each lot of snapped cotton than
from the picked lots. This differ
cncc in waste, however, the report
SAYS. is in line with the difference
in grade. The lowering of grade
in the case of the snapped cotton
waS the direct result of the snap
method Of harvesting.
no special difficulty was encoun-
tered in manufacturing the cottons

low. None of the Sos warm reached

of the range of the length Of staple
of these lots. In both eases the
yarns from the picked cotton broke
slightly stronger than those from
the snapped cotton. The difference
in strength between the Texas pick
