Sea, and the wanderings in the
wilderness, reaching climax in
the ascent of Mount Sinai where
the finger of Jehovah wrote upon
the tablets of stone, and coming to
an end in Moses far off glimpse of
the promised land from the heights
Of Moab.
Current events followed the
story and during the social hour
Mrs. Reid, assisted by her mother,
Mrs. r. b. Teeple and by Mrs. II.
c. Diller, served cooling refresh
ments.

THE foreign demand for American apples Is o
goose which is producing many golden egg
for the fruit raisers of this country, but El-
rope, at least. may one day raise Its own goose
The possibilities of apple production in Europe,
If fully utilized, would make the nations across
the Atlantic free Of dependence upon the United
States for this important food product.
The small grower, in order to guard himself
against a turn in the market which may have
permanently serious effect upon the outlet for
his production, is urged by the Department of
Agriculture to join in cooperative organizations
for the disposal of his yield
It usually does not pay to operate independ-
emily, because the few boxes and barrels that
one man ships sometimes reach market which
Is glutted and where prices are low. Improper
storage Of the apples on shipboard might result
in damaging the shipment, and the agent
abroad to whom the shipments are consigned,
being unknown to the shipper. might be either
inefficient or dishonest. To guard against this.
the department believes the farmers should join
in large-scale shipping endeavors
The cooperative association can ship in large
quantities and be in position to secure better
shipping facilities and to absorb the loss Of low
prices In flooded markets.
Europe will take shipments of any Of the
standard varieties Of apples. Great Britain pur-

the park was created and this has resulted In
the removal Of most Of the pottery and arti-
facts.
For this reason the present process Of trowel-
ing carefully through the debris left by the early
pothunters and the removal therefrom Of broken
pieces Of pottery for later matching and repair
ing for museum use constitutes the only possible
method of gaining representative collections for
the park museums.
Two previously unexcavated depressed areas
were also excavated during the 1929 explora-
tons and proved to be typical Mesa Verde

Prehistoric Pottery Pound.

THROUGH annual archaeological investiga-
tons of the prehistoric cliff dwellings in the
Mesa Verde National Park by Jesse L. Nus
baum, superintendent of the park and archeolo-
gist for the Department of the Interior many
interesting pieces Of prehistoric pottery have
been discovered and restored.
Among the 1929 finds was the recovery Of
practically all Of the fragments Of what has
been considered by many Psychologists, since its
restoration, the finest black-on-white seed or
kiva jar ever found in the whole Southwest.
In addition the missing sherds were found for
many pieces Of pottery in the process Of mend
ing or restoration. Unfortunately, the princi-
pal ruins on the west side of Mesa Verde were
