The merchant marine must be taken
into consideration when it comes to
the national defense. In wartime, the
swift merchant vessels are capable of
being converted into cruisers. Great
Britain is far away in the lead OF the

example, merchant vessels over Is

Wheeler of fact. He stands feet TIA
inches, and the casual observer con-
cludes that he must crane his neck
considerably to register that extra half
inch. He weighs about 134 pounds when
in good condition, but the stress and
strain of many battles have worn him
down. He wears glasses and his eyes
lack that fire commonly associated
with the naughty glare of potentates
and autocrats. Pictures Of him a few
years ago show a rather robust
man, dark, thin hair above a high
forehead and a. luxuriant black mus
tache upon his lip. But the years
have thinned and grayed his hair. and
one must look twice to verify the mus
tache. 1t has turned the color Of his

Need More Forests

Every country, foresters believe,
should have ene-third of its land
area in forests in order to meet its
timber and wood needs, says the For
est Service of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Our coun-
try now has 198,O00,000 acres of vir-
gin forests, together with 25O,OOO,-
900 acres of cut-over land, or a total
of only 38S,OOO,OOO acres that are
really valuable for timber produc-
ton. This is only One-fifth of our
total land area.
In addition to the wood used IN
buildings and other construction
thousands of articles, including even
medicines and clothing, are made
from trees or lumber. Furthermore
forests protect game and give enjoy
ment to hunters and vacationists
They also prevent the washing away
of hillsides by heavy rains, and hell

melting snow and rain water and al
lowing it to drain off slowly.

Cattle Ticks Go

Noteworthy progress in freeing
southern territory from cattle ticks
is reported by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, based on
results to December l, 1926. The re-
port just compiled shows that 7S7
counties have been released from
Federal quarantine against cattle
ticks since systematic eradication
work began July 1, 1906. There re-
main in quarantine 24S entire coun-
ties and also smaller areas, chiefly
individual farms, in other counties.
During the last year II counties
and parts of 5 counties were releas-
ed from Federal quarantine and 40
counties previously released in Ark
ansas, Florida, Georgia, louisiana
North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas,
and Virginia were entirely free OF
cattle ticks.

Roadside Trees

Success in roadside tree planting,
says the United States Department
of Agriculture, depends on properly
locating the plant salong the high
way, selecting suitable varieties, and
adequately protecting them from
thOughtless persons, rowing stock,
and insects and diseases.
The best effects in roadside plant
ing are usually produced by giving
the predominant place to the COM
mon plants of the neighborhood, us
ing introduced plants in subordinate
positions. Next in desirability are
plants from regions having similar
growing conditions either in this
country or abroad. Oaks are more
generally useful for roadside plant
ing than any other kind Of tree
There are species of this tree native
to nearly all parts of the country.

Food from the North

The reindeer industr yin Alaska,
although a comparatively recent
commercial undertaking, promises
to become an important factor in the
future development of the territory,
says the Biological Survey of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The original stock of 1890
animals imported to Alaska from ST.
IBERIA about 25 years ago has increas-
ed to nearly 35O,OOO, distributed in
110 herds.
More than 100000 pounds of rein
deer meat was exported from Alaska
during 1924 and 1925, and steady
increase in the output and demand is
indicated. When properly produced
and handled, the meat compares IA
vorably with beef. 1t is fine grained,
contains a good, palatable fat, and
when fresh is exceptionally juicy and
tender.
Milford chronicle., 1927-01-14
Sow Bean Now Big CrOp

The sOybean acreage on this cOun-
try increased from less than 100000
acres in 1917 to about 100000 acres
in 1924, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The pro-
duct of 100000 acres was used for
hay, that of 100000 acres for pas
ture and ensilage, and 100000 acres
was used for seed. This increase in
acreage is largely due to the devel-
opment of better-adapted varieties.
The total value of the soy-bean crop
in 1924, the last year for which data
are available, was $18,36O,OOO, and
of this value the new varieties were
responsible for a little more than
half.

GnO1 Pork

Hogs weighing between 1SO and
29O pounds will ordinarily produce
the best and most economical cuts
of meat for family use. Hams and
shoulders from such hogs will weigh
12 to Is pounds, with loins and ba-
con strips at about or 10 pounds.
If the pig has been well fattened,
not only will he produce more lard
but also the flavor of the meat will
be improved. If the pig is given a
22-hour fast before slaughter, with
plenty of water available, the car
cass will drain more thoroughly anC
produce a better product.

Keep Zinc from Food

Liquid foods including buttermilk,
milk, cider and other fruit juices
should not be allowed to stand for
even a short time in a galvanized
iron vessel, nor should such a uten-
sill be employed in making preserves
jellies, etc. The zinc used in gal
vanizing will dissolve and give the
food an unpleasant taste and may
cause sudden and intense illness.

Pnrebred Cows Lend

In study of $4,000 yearly individ-
uals production records of dairy
COWS, a comparison was made of
purebreds and grades of the same
breed. The grades averaged 6,999
pounds of milk year per cow,
whereas purebreds exceeded this
amount by 66S pounds, or about 91a
percent. In production of butterfat,
gross income per COW, and income
over cost of feed, the purebreds eX-
celled the grades by about 10 per
cent. 1t should be remembered al
so that the average production of the
grades was so high largely because
of the influence of their purebred
ancestry.

of livestock, whereas only IL per
cent goes for export, human food,
and other purposes. Approximately
so per cent of the sustenance of the
livestock of this country comes from
pasture, 25 per cent from corn, and
the rest from other harvested feeds.
Legumes in the rotation help to
maintain the fertility of the soil and
result in high corn yields.

Frozen Milk Is Watery

During cold weather special pre-
cautions should be taken against ex-
posing milk for too long a time to
temperatures below freezing. If it
is necessary to haul it far in cold
weather cans should be protected
with jackets or blankets. The milk
solids in frozen milk have a tenden-
cy to separate, making it difficult to
secure an accurate butterfat test.
Frozen milk is often watery in ap-
pearance tasteless.

Chnnsiness

The outstanding reason for NAL
nutrition among American children
is bad food habits. OF course, there
are some parents who do not pro-
vide the right food for their children
because of lack of knowledge of food
values or failure to understand the
Importance of the information at
hand. In any case bad food habits
whether based on the child's "choos-
mess" or the parents lack of infor-
nation, can be corrected only
through education in what are the
proper foods for children and how
they can be trained to eat wholesome
foods.
