Stone Ratchet Head Discovered

A stone hatchet head was also found, as was similarly shaped but much larger stone which may have been the head of battle axe but appears too heavy to have been wielded in this fashion. Both Of these stones are sharp on one end and finely rounded on the other, and it is believed the bigger one. which weighs more than two pounds, may have been a hand tool used for chopping with one end and for pounding with the other.
 The records which became Mir. Barnes' property as part of the land transfer are also very interest ing. They trace the title to the property for almost 200 years and are written, in ink now almost fad ed into illegibility, on paper which is yellow and frayed. Included among the deeds are many record ing the sale of slaves at so much per head.
 This spring the plantation was on the edge of the path of a great hur- ricane which swept the southeastern states, and the road was 90 blocked with fallen trees that 1t was several days before the Harnesses could travers it to town.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2l.-tP1-
In the closing days of the session
three questions are casting fill
buster shadows over the senate.
One Is a difference in views over
the proposed $4,000, 900 increase
for prohibition enforcement: an
other revolves around the navy de-
partment measure carrying funds
for the cruiser construction pro-
gram. and the third hinges on
the opposition OF Senator Walsh,
democrat. Montana. TO a provision
in the interior department bill
which would authorize the Secre-
tary OF the interior to condemn any
privately owned lands in public
parks. All the bills affected are
appropriation measures.
The prohibition item was added
BIZ the senate to the first deficiency
bill. and republican leaders have
decided to let that bill die and TO
leave the $4,000. 900 out Of the Sec
ond deficiency bill. Senator Glass,
democrat. Virginia, has declared
that II this program Is followed the
second deficiency bill would have a
hard time getting through the SEN
ate. This was interpreted as a
filibuster threat by the Virginian.
Yesterday Senator Blaine, repub-
lican. Wisconsin. blocked an at
tempt by Chairman Hale OF the
naval affairs committee. to get the
naval bill before the senate. Later

Virginia asked for unanimous con-

tary OF the interior power to con-
denim privately owned lands In

house. Senator Walsh said Repre-

SAVE DAT STRAW

Dat straw need not be wasted. 1t
makes valuable roughage for live
stock, being more palatable and of
softer texture than wheat or barley
straw. If barn or NOV space is avail
able, oat straw should be blown di-
rectly into the NOV. If necessary to
stack it in the open, the stack should
be built so as to shed water. Straw
from oats that have been cut when a
little green makes better roughage
and has a higher feeding value than
that from oats which have become
too ripe. Oat straw not needed for
feed is useful for bedding animals
and for making manure. Used fol
these purposes, it absorbs the liquid
manure and prevents loss of valuable
fertilizing constituents. Each 10O
pounds of oat straw contains ar
average of or pounds of nitrogen
1 pound of phosphorus, and 8 or IL
pounds of potash.

GRAIN STORAGE ON FARM

Farm storage of grain is advanta-

orderly marketing of grain is posi-
BILE and car shortages and embargoes
at markets are prevented. The crop
can be handled with less hired help.
Newly threshed grain need not be
piled on the ground, and grain can be
conditioned before marketing. Wheat
can be sold on a protein basis.
Farm grain storage buildings may be
portable or stationary and Of per-
manent or temporary construction.
Bins must be well ventilated, unless
damp grain can be transferred from
one bin to another. Working draw
ings for several types of farm grain
storages can be had from the Division
