''Ton-Litters" of Pigs
bv No Means Unusual

To city folks, brought up on the
stories about "Three Little Pigs" and
the wolf that huffed and pulled, pig
is just fat little squealing baby until
it is big enough for the smokehouse,
but, not so in Idaho. Out there, one
raiser reports that at six months there
was a little of Ia pigs which had
reached the total weight Of 4,156
pounds, nearly 300 pounds pig.
Quite a mouthful for the wolf.
The ton litter, now the aim of all
pig raisers, is one in which the total
weight of the litter is 1000 pounds or
more at six months.
They used to be rare, but in 1928.
farmers in 80 states reported reaching
the coveted mark. There were 1872 OF
such filters. Virginia produced two,
and in order not to bubble over few
pounds, made them long-ton litters, at
that. Pennsylvania led all the states
with G5 such filters, and Ohio was

To Tran Bombing Planes

Captive balloons, bearing nets of
piano wire that hang down as invisible
barriers for night travelling airplanes,
have been proposed as a means OF
curbing bomb attacks under darkness,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Afloat at an altitude of 1000 feet or
so, a number of these trap-bearing
balloons would form serious obstacle
to the bombing planes, which must fly
comparatively low and are operated
chiefly on very dark nights when they
are not so likely to be seen. Big fins,
holding gas, keep the balloons afloat,
and what appears to be huge eye in
each bag, is the valve for the gas.

No Advisable to Burn

II is not good plan to burn off
the 6nd any kind of trash which will
maize humus in the soil. Even old
sweet clover grass is worth too much
ploWed under to be burned off. OF
course, if there is enough fine trash
in the field to afford good harbor
for chinch bugs there may be some
justification for burning over a field.
But sweet clover growth does not usu-
ally afford good enough protection
for tEe chinch bugs to live over win
ter Burning over red top, timothy
and blue grass does sometimes make
it &bk as though it was helped, but
this is likely to be only an appear

The state superintendent of educa-

Brooklyn, N. Y. They appointed COM
mittee of FIVE TO prepare a program
for universal use on October Fl. Four
members Of this commit tee were sta
superintendent the ilftl was Franco
Bethany, member of the editorial staff
Of the Youths Companion.
Upon the request of James r. Up.
ham, one Of the proprietors Of the
Youths Companion, BeIiamy wrote the
words which are now variously known
as the "Pledge of Allegiance to the
Flag" the Flag Pledge" and the "Sa-
Lutte to the Flag" The pledge as WRIT
ten by Bellamy is:
II pledge allegiance to my flag, and
to the Republic for which it stands:
one nation indivisible, with liberty
and justice for ALL"
According to Bellamy's own story,
he wrote the pledge at the office Of
the Youths Companion one evening
in August, 1892, while James p. Up
ham waited outside the door for him
to do it. This incident probably gave
rise to the story that Upham himself
wrote the pledge. After appearing in
the program prepared by the state SUI
perintendents for use on Columbus
day, 1892. the pledge was approved
by many patriotic organizations and
was finally adopted in schools through.
out the United States until it is now
regarded as almost an official part of
our public school procedure.
Many educators later objected to
my flag" in the pledge. With the large
number Of foreign born pupils in our
schools that phrase, says the United
States Bureau of Education, is clearly
ambiguous. Consequently the pledge
has been informally revised. The YER
sion now most widely used is:
Il pledge allegiance to the Flag of
the United States of America and TO
the Republic for which it stands: one
nation indivisible, with liberty and
justice for ALL"
The next step in the story of the de-
velopment of Flag day is the story
of Mrs. Laura B. Rrisk, known as the
Mother Of Flag Day." In 1915 Mrs.
Prisk, who was editor of the Patri-
otto Instructor in New York, suggested

Neither did he die in poverty. The
