But. as matter of fact, only twenty per cent of the suns rays comes through and reaches the earth's surface.

In tropical attitudes the al derives much of its warmth from sur face oceanic waters heated by the solar rays.

THE moon, which for ages past
 has occupied little more than a
 romantic niche in the popular mind, has been revealed at last by science as tremendous, sometimes sinister, factor in the determination of mans fate and fortunes.
 The moon, says Herbert Janvrin Browne, famous Washington meteorol- ogist, by directly affecting the weather on the earth. indirectly governs the markets of the world, for agricultural products, for raw materials of every sort and for all other commodities.
 In far-off India there may be fam inc. In Russia there may be an un- precedented wheat crop. In South America comes fearful drought. In Wall Street stocks rise and fall in re sponSe to these worldwide fuctations in the affairs of men.
 And the American farmer, the as tute business man, the starving Indian, the happy Russian peasant, all won dering at this, call it Tuck" or fate" or economic conditions" It does not occur to anyone of them that the moon in the sky, with it's harmless and be, nign face, has a great deal to do with his success or failure.
 How does the moon, it may be asked, exert such potent influence over the practical affairs of mankind? Chief ly, according to Mr. Browne, because the moon has a powerful effect upon the weather, hitherto doubted even by science. This Summer, says Mir. Browne, will be hot one for North America. Next Winter will be severe in the Eastern part of the continent, normal in the West, and there will be hurricanes in the

 Now scientists, after striving W for years to determine the sig

 moon, as it marches north and
 south, have begun to realize that the moon isn't marching just for exercise Nor is this newly discovered potency of the moon to be confused with its con- trol of the tides. It is a sort of Jekyll- Hyde planet, distributing joy and misery as it moves along.
 The moon, as it circles around oul globe, says MT Browne, is continually changing its position with relation to the latter. For nine years and frac- tlon 1t marches northWard; then, dur ing an equal length of time, it marches southward. These mafthes and coun- termarches have an important affect on weather, for the moons tremendous attraction drags the surface waters of the oceans eastward and westward, thereby influencing the massing and distribution of warm and cold waters. It eXerts it's strongest drag upon the waters nearest to it. Thus, the dis. tribution of warm and cold surface waters IS markedly altered by changes of the moons position with relation to the earth.

 Ocean hurricanes also are influenced by the moon. They are phenomena important to consider by reason of their ter rife destructIveness. When the moon advances northward, there are many hurricanes. When it journeys Southward hurricanes are few. This is true of hurri- canes in the West Indies; it is also true of the Pacific hurri- canes, commonly called 'ty- phoons.

 Years of plenty and Of famine in India correspond to the northward and southward marches of the moon. This IS plainly shown by historical records running back to 65l A. b.. since when there have been in that country one hundred and twenty-one famines due to shortages of food crops
 "When the moon is in the north there is much more likelihood of famine in India than when it is in the south. The explanation is simple, When the moon is in the south it pulls the warm waters of the Indian Ocean westward, massing them to feed the southwest monsoons with moisture.

SMALL sheep FLOCK
BEST PAYING ASSET
SAYS AGENT LEADER
Increase Of 30 per Cent Met by
Growing Lamb Demand;
Wool Supply Short

Present price prospects for wool and
lambs should encourage the farmer
who wishes to begin in the sheep busi-
ness to purchase q small flock Of
breeding ewes this summer. according
to N. D. German, county agent leader
at the North Dakota Agricultural COL
lege. Y
"Since about. 170,OO0,C00 pounds
more Of wool Is used In the United
States than is produced here" Cor
man declares, ''the tariff protection
will continue to be effective even
though production Is increased some
what. All indications are that wool
should continue for another year
about on the same price level as was
paid to the grower last year.
Sheep and lamb production has
increased about 80 per cent since 1922.
but this has been accompanied by
considerable increase in the demane'
from consumers for dressed lamb, and
indications are that prices will sty up.
at least until the first half of 1880.
when authorities say some decline in
the lamb prices may occur.
sheep are the best paying live
stock enterprise on the farm. From
the standpoint of. utilizing feed that
would otherwise go to waste and for
weed eradication; sheep would be a
good paying livestock enterprise even
II the price Of lambs and wool were
Is per cent lower. Speculative ven
lures in the buying of ewes or feeder
lambs should be discouraged, as well
as the borrowing Of money to increase
flocks In the assumption that present
price levels are going to hold up for
= long period.
1.-THE Agricultural Credit corpora
ton will again aid in financing the
purchasing OF breeding ewes. and
farmers who wish to start with small
flocks should consult their county
agents for detailed information"

ALL ALFALFA SEED
NOT TRUSTWORTHY
Farmers Warned to Avoid Cheap
Variety Full Of Clover and
Dodder as Expensive

Farmers will do well to use unusual
care in buying alfalfa this year, &C.
cording to Prof. O. A. Stevens, pure
seed analyst, North Dakota Agricul-
tural college. The scarcity of the
seed has brought upon the market a
quantity Of cheap" seed, he adds.
One sample recently analysed at the
pure seed laboratory showed seven
per cent Of sweet clover and about Is
seeds per. ounce Of dodded. Another
sample contained five per cent of
sweet clover and 800 seeds per ounce
Of dodder. Such seed Is likely to
prove expensive at any price.
Any reliable dealer will allow the
return Of seed which is not satisfac-
tory II the claim is made within rea-
sonablc time. Every year the seed
laboratory receives complaints on
which was bad but was planted with
out examination. It is too late then
to correct the mistake. Examine the
seed when received and If not salts
fled return 1t or send sample to the
laboratory for test.
For field registration Of alfalfa a
definite history of the seed Is re-
quired. An affidavit that ito the
best Of my knowledge this Is Grimm"
is Of no value. It must establish a
definite origin from q reliable source.

ONE KIND OF LIFE

When . child lies we try to make
him change his ways. Eight-year -old
Margery's story suggests how far we
must sometimes search and how SYM
pathetically we must understand be-
fore we can hope to wipe out even so
obvious q fault as lying.
Margery was taken to the psychiat-
rist because Of incessant and extrava-
CANT lying. She had been punished
again and again and told that her
lies deceived no one. But the lying
went on in an undiminished stream.
A study Of her lies made # plain
that one purpose lay behind them all
TO win first place. They were de-
signed to make her appear more
clever than anyone in her class, better
behaved than her brother, and in
every way important and worthy Of
approval. Yet why she tried to
achieve these ends by means 80 Pc
cultar was not easy to understand
until one looked behind the scenes.
Margery was the child OIL first
and unhappy marriage, my reference
to which still roused distress II her
mother. Her little brother Tommy.
on the other hand. was born Of .
second and happy marriage.
With the intuition Of q sensitive
child Mlrgery knew what her mother
could not admit even, to herself-tlat
she waS less loved than her brother,
that the f8ieht OF her somehow woke
