MACHINE that
CUTS and ALSO
THRESHES USED

WASHINGTON (R)-Wheat harvest
combines" synchronizing the process
of reaping and threshing, are expected
to make a definite and practical ap-
pearance in the cast next year
H. r. TOlley, federal farm manage
ment chief, predicts ultimate use of
the smaller machines in southern
Pennsylvania, the Shenandoah valley,
Delaware and Maryland. His view is
based on successful operation of
combine at Blacksburg, Va, this sea-
son, the first to be used in the east
since its introduction of the idea to
Pacific coast states eight years ago.
The new eastern type, " Tolley says,
likely will concentrate on a 10-foot
cutting bar and utilize the power take
off principle, a system by which motive
energy for the grain separator is taken
directly from the tractor. The entire
machine will be pulled by tractor
whose draWbar rating is Is horsepower,
or less"
Considered an expert on farm costs,
Tolley figures that if as much as 100
acres of wheat is to be harvested it is
no more expensive to own and operate
a combine than it is to cut the grain
with binder and hire "threshing
rig" to complete the operation.
Irregular topography of eastern
fields" he says, lis no serious handi-
cap. The new combines are equipped
with leveling devices that adjust the
reel, platform and separator to even
steep hillsides. The only drawback is
the fact that soft wheat of the east
contains high percentages of moisture,
not infrequently as much as 20 per
cent A l3 per cent moisture is safe,
but all over that subjects stored grain
to dangerous heating" I
AT Blacksburg," he continues, ''it
was found necessary, after harvesting
with a combine, to spread the wheat
on barn floor to dry The east has
no practical method of drying its grain,
either on the farms or at the elevators
We are developing suitable processes
to replace that natural interim be-
tween binder reaping and stationary
threShing which heretofore has given
soft wheat time to dry.
'The west has no such problem, at
least none so important. 1t grows a
hard wheat that usually is dry enough
to market at the time it is cut with a.
combine That, together with vast
acreage, has been responsible for pop
ularity of the combine. first in the
far west and in Montana, Nebraska,
then in the middle-weSt. In, 1926
there were so combines in Illinois.
This year there were approximately
200, and Indiana is reported to have
used almost so.
In the niddle-west and the east,
where farmers form threshing rings
and the individual wheat fields are
smaller, the combine can be owned
and operated profitably on the order
of a public utility. The combine is
more expensive than either the binder
or the header when small acreage is
cut, but the combine takes an, imme-
diate and pronounced drop above the
100-acre point, while the cost of the
binder and header remains constantly
higher than the combine in harvesting
even as much as from 500 to 900 acres"

Auto SteepIechasing
Is New French Sport

PARIS, P)-Automobile steeplechas-
ing is new sport shortly to be dem
orstrated in a match between a horse
and Andre Mercier in an automobile.
Mercier, in trials, has sent his car
over the jumps with ease and without
accident. His biggest jump recently
was 81 feet, during which his car rose
seven feet above the ground.
Mercier jumps by driving at speed
up an incline, as has often been done
in circus performances. He has cal
culated the angles and speeds SO nicely
that he believes he can make the series
of hurdles in race without great
difficulty.

Gentle Juries Blamed
For Many Love Crimes

PARIS, R)- Sentimental juries and
French sympathy with "crimes of pas
sion" are creating quite a stir among
those who think few executions and
plenty of long prison terms would
make life safer.
It is even suggested that murder
cases be taken from juries and tried
by judges who generally pay more at
tention to the, law and the evidence
than they do to the anguished heart
throbs that move many.
j. H. Rosny, novelist, is among those
who feel French criminal jurispru-
dence has about broken down. Juries,
says Rosny, citing recent instances, are
more lenient toward those who kill
than those who wound. He gives it as
his observation that, assault is more
severely punished than murder, on the
average.
Some defenders of the jury system
say juries frequently acquit because
the penalties are too heavy and that
if the juries could fix the sentences
they would convict oftener.

Neither of these have reached the

Profits Are Increased
By Checking Stacker

Trained by extension agents, many
farm women are increasing their poul-
try income by eliminating non-layers.
There are many parts in the body

cate egg-laying Abilities such as the
distribution of fat width of the abdo-
men and closely allied anatomical
features.
"As most farm. women who keep
chickens wish to make a profit from
their eggs, it is greatly to their ad-
vantage to know how to select those
which are good producers and get rid
of others which do not pay for their
feed and care. Frequently half the
flock may be culled out and the re-
mainder lay as many eggs as were re-
ceived before, with corresponding
reduction in cost for feed"

Say Pistol Slayers
Fare Better in Court

PARIS, R-French hunorists are
beginning to insist that the safest way
to commit murder is with a pistol.
Most of those who have employed other
means in recent years have gone to
the guillotine, but number who used
pistols are still enjoying life and free
dom.
Commenting upon this, Max Prax of
the Petit Parisien, says it has become
an established custom that the re-
volver, in crimes Of passion, is strictly
"de rigueur, like evening clothes after
dinner at the Deauyille casino"
1T is strictly forbidden to strangle
ones wife," Prax says. ut is equally
forbidden to chop a wife or rival

YESTERDAY TO
AID HOMELESS

With $1OO29 donated to the Red
Cross Mississippi flood relief fund yes
terday, only $33621 remains to be
raised to put Douglas over the top in
her second quota drive. The first
quota Of $500 was reached last week.
The second quota is the same amount.

officials yesterday from William Carl

immediate need of aid for the flood
sufferers The letter follows:
Every press dispatch coming over
the wires shows an almost hourly in
Grease in the number of refugees, which
now total well over 100000. Without
any possible exception this is the most
stupendous disaster in the history of
our country, and the most gigantic
task which the American Red Cross
has ever been called upon to face. All
possible efforts should be redoubled
and all resources exhausted if neces-
sary to raise the minimum of $10,000,-
900.
"A total of approximately $233, 900
from Pacific area chapters has been
received in the branch office to date.
With the original quota for our area of
$4,000 doubled to $1,084,000 it is evi-
dent that greatly increased contribu-
tions will be needed to attain the goal.
1t is very great pleasure to report
that already two chapters have doubled
their original quotas, namely Mon

tinue to come in undoubtedly many
other chapters will be added to the
