PRODUCTION OF
AUTOS OFF

For the first time in. three
years automobile production in
the United States has showed
decrease compared with the same
period a year before.
The October production of ma.
chimes was announced by the
Commerce Department yesterday
as 379,942 as compared with 397,-
284 for October, 1923.
The last time such a decrease
occurred when the Ford factories
shut down to prepare for the
manufacture Of the new models.
Commerce Department officials
yesterday explained the present
decrease by the statement that
the tremendously increased pro-
duction in the first few months
of this year left the market glut-
ted and lethargic.
Total production for the first
ten months of this year is half
q million more than the produc-
ton for the whole year Of 1923.

MILFORD GRANGE

The attendance last Saturday eve
ming was large and the program a
very pleasant one. The little play by
sixteen ladies and the recitations by
Curtis Williams and Joe Elliott were
most interesting and enjoyable fea-
lures. The carpet rag march
brought a wonderful number of
balls of rags, all ready for the wea-
yer, and the contributions of the
men, who didn't wish to be left out
of the march, will provide goodly
amount of warp for the weaving. A
vote of appreciation was given to
Mrs. Higman who had sewed the
most rags brought in by any one
of the ladies.
Next Saturday evening, Prof. Clar-
ence Short of w. c. l., Dover, will
speak on Being a Friend" The lee
ture hour will. be an open one and
this address will be of unusual inter-
est, so a cordial invitation is given
to friends outside the Grange to

while recitations. Everybody come.

A VALUABLE CROP

Refuse from sugar beet production
that was formerly regarded as use
less, is providing farmers and man
ufacturers with substantial reve-
nue..
Beet tops cut from the plant at
harvest time are now fed to live
stock and many farmers are aver
aging $40 per acre selling these tops
to ranchers.
In the vicinity of the fields and
factories the tops are fed wet to
sheep and cattle and the surplus is
dried and sent to other stOck-raising
areas.
| The molasses remaining from the
refining process is used in making
alcohol or is mixed in stock feeds.
Even the lime cake, by-product of
manufacture, has been found valu-
able to open up closely knit soil.
Sugar beets are one of the most
valuable of all crops. Not only are
they profitable directly but they are
of inestimable benefit in enriching
soil. Surveys have shown that soils
have often yielded an increase of so
to 80 per cent in the tonnage of
other crops, after having been used
for sugar beets.
Encouragement of this potentially
great industry by an adequate tar
iff on imported sugar, will give
greater prosperity to manufacturers
and farmers; and, perhaps even
more important will protect us from
foreign sugar monopolies.
Milford chronicle., 1929-04-19
SOME WEATHER PROVERBS
ARE SUPPORTED BY FACTS

The weather forecast in the little
box at the top of the morning news
paper is almost the first item most
of us read. If we live in the city we
want to know, naturally, whether to
carry an umbrella or put chains on
the car; if we are engaged in agTi-
culture, the probable state of the
weather for the day and the predic-
ton for tomorrow determines what
work will be planned or accom-
plished.
With reliable service from the
Weather Bureau of the United States
Department of Agriculture it would
seem that the old-time weather pro-
verbs would soon pass out of use
and be forgotten, even if any of
them were dependable. Many, indeed,
were absurd and misleading, but
not few are interesting as reflect
ing the accuracy of observation by
those who are "out in all weathers,"
and useful when the morning paper
is not at hand to furnish a forecast.
Among the best of these, perhaps,
are the proverbs that have to do
with the color of the sky and the ap-
pearance of the sun, the moon, and
the stars, for all are affected by the
state of the atmosphere. ANY modi-
fled appearance of the sun is most
conspicuous when it is near the
horizon. Hence there are many wea-
ther proverbs about the sun at NOR
ming or evening. When the air is
heavily charged with dust particles
laden with moisture We zee the sun
F, as a fiery red ball, and predict rain,
in such proverbs as "a red sun has
water in his eye" or, "If red the
sun begin his race, be sure the rain
will fal lapace." The red sun implies
a humid atmosphere, condition es-
sential and favorable to the occur
renee of rain.
On the other hand, q red evening
sky usually means that the air con-
tains very little moisture and that
rain within the next "a hours is inn
probable. When the evening sky is
overcast with uniform gray the dust
particles in the atmosphere have
evidently become loaded with much
moisture, giving rise to the proverb,
IL the SuuSeL 10 gray TIE NEAT VIII
be rainy day." "a gray morning
sky" however, for reasons which
meteorologists can explain in con-
nection with the formation of dew,
generally justifies the expectation of
a fair day. Evening red and morn
ing gray, two sure signs of one fair
day" "An evening gray and a morn
ing red though "Will send the
shepherd wet to bed"
