Memory Test

A mother was telling her three.
year-old daughter, Shirley Jean, about
the woman flyer who made the trip
across the Atlantic. Her first ques
ton was: .What was, her name,
mother?' In answering, the mother
touched her ear and said: "Think of
your ear and the last part of your
name hart" Nothing more was said
until the next day. To test Shirley
jeans memory the mother took hold
of her ear and said: "Who was the
lady that flew across the Atlantic?"
Shirley Jean responded, "Earache."

Damaged Wheat Value

The value of any particular lot OF
damaged wheat depends. of course, up-
on the extent of the damage but, in
general, it may be said that shrunken,
frosted and otherwise damaged. grain
may not be injured in feeding value.
though rendered unsuitable for mar
ket. Rather strangely, some lots of
damaged wheat actually contain a
, greater proportion of protein than
marketable grain does and so pos
sesses a higher feeding value on the
farm. Scorched wheat is often found
in the market.

Useful Wood Ashes

Wood ash is fertilizer for the roof
crops. The wood ashes of the bon
fire hold potash and phosphate only.
The latter food encourages tuber
growth at the expense, of big leaves.
Nitrogen has the opposite effect. which
is undesirable for root crops, and
there is much nitrogen in the natural
and the proprietary artificial manures.
The wood ash may be sprinkled along
the bottom of the seed drills at the
sowing times.

that all the trained speakers and

States by the power trust had only
one end in view, that Of developing
public opinion against Boulder Dam

The real extent of the "Chau-
tauqua experiment" of the power
trust is shown in a report stating
that 10000 propaganda talks in 1927
were delivered and listened to by
an estimated 1000, 900 persons. Tins
was a jump of nearly 800 per cent

The control of the lyceum CIR
