HARMED, Kans., March is (NAN.A.).
With an education in astronomy
gained in true Abe Lincoln fashion,
Clyde w. Tombaugh, "a, born and
reared on his fathers farm in Pawnee
County, northeast of Burdette, has par
ticipated in what his associates at the
Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz.,
call the greatest astronomical achieve
ment since the discovery of Neptune
in 1646.
With fingers and eyes carefully
trained by more than dozen years of
intensive, lonely work with homemade
telescopes in his fathers farmyard, he
was able to get results from the big
13-inch special Photographic telescope
equipped with refractor type lenses
which have startled the world.
Parents FOstered Leaning.
His father and mother are Mr.. and
Mrs huron B. Tombaugh, who always
have fostered his leaning toward as
tronomy He is the eldest Of six chill
dren.
Working on the theory expounded by
the late DR.. Percival Lowell, founder
of the Lowell Observatory years ago,
that a planet atleast as large as the
earth was in existence, young Tombaugh
made his amazing discovery.
Clyde became connected with the
Lowell Observatory a little more than
a year ago. He furnished drawings and
other data taken from his observations
at the eyepieces of his homemade in
struments, proving to the scientists
satisfaction that he was the man they
wanted to aid in the search for the
predicted planet, according to his father.

handed down by his father. His father
and his uncle, L. NJ. Tombaugh of
Streator, Ill, constructed a small tele-
scope about IS years ago, the father
relates, fitted with q lens magnifying
to 10 dtameters procured from maya
zine.
Surveyed Heavens With Delight.
With it they pursued the heavens for
endless enjoyable hours at night. Be-
fore they always had derived keen
pleasure from merely making casual
observations with the naked eye and
comparing them, but with the construc-
ton of the new telescope their interest
rapidly increased. While still together
at the old family home In Streator
they continued to use it.
Later, when Mr. and Mrs. Tombaugh

fancy at the age Of Q years. Mr.. Tom
baugh gave his son the telescope he
and his brother had used.
Clyde's interest increased rapidly. He
wanted to build one of his own. He
would spend hours in his little room at
home, while the other boys of the rural
neighborhood were at play, studying
works by noted astronomers and absorb
ing as much Of them as he could. He
would 60 around with the words of
special grinding formula on his lips and
frequently was dubbed fool by his
schoolmates.
He made his first telescope when he
was only 30 years old. 1t had an
S-inch reflector and was made in
the shape Of long, square box. It took
two months Of hard painstaking work
to make 1t. It magnif1ed to 100 diam

ton; Acre Of Grass Will
Feed 20 Pigs

It has been found that alfalfa may
be pastured at the rate of 20 pigs or
seven sows per acre, allowing a guam
tity of first and second cutting to be
cut for hay, in supplementary mater
ial gathered by the animal husban-
dry department at North Dakota
Agricultural college while working on
hog trials for the production Of
Wiltshire sides. The alfalfa for win
ter feeding of hogs should be from the
second or third cutting, states Al
Severson, of the department of ami
NAL husbandry, taken from a clean
field on which hogs have not been
paStured for several seasons. It
should be leafy, tender, unbleached.
The growing of Canadian field
peas is recommended for pork pro-
duction, according to MI. Severson,
and for the following reasons: Rich
in protein, produces a lean, firm car-
cass, can be hogged down, enriches
the soil, may be cultivated to keep
weeds in check, saves a large carry
over OF harvested feeds during July
and August, and is a good cash crop
when harvested and sold for seed.
In connection with the trials it has
been found that flint corn is more
certain of maturing than most of the
dent varieties and allows an earlier
hogging- down period. The combina-
ton of hogging- down corn, peas and
alfalfa makes a perfectly balanced
ration with minerals fed free choice,
the research reveals.
It was found that two small sod
pastures of bronze or blue grass adj
jacent to the hog house furnish an
excellent place for pigs to roam and
exercise when the weather is favor
able. Ailments such as thumps,
anemia and others are not so COM
mon where pigs have access to out
side paddocks. These paddocks
should preferably be located on the
south side Of the hog house for pro-
lection from north winds. With two
pastures the pigs can be rotated in
case infection is evident.

D|STILLATE FUEL
MAY HARM TRACTOR
Sulphur In Cheap combustibIe
May Pit Motor by Form
ing SuIphuric Acid

With the price Of distillate far be-
low the cost Of kerosene, North Da-
kota farmers and tractor owners are
inquiring into the ACCESSIBILITY of using
this cheaper fuel rather than kero-
sene and others that cost much more.
The choice of the cheaper fuel de-
ponds on the low percentage Of sui
plur and the particular design Of the
engine in the tractor rather than the
low cost Of thef 7uel, is the conclusion
drawn by H. F. McColly. assistant
agricultural engineer, North Dakota
Agricultural college, in a recent study
Of diStillate as a tractor fuel.
Fuels with a high sulphur content
when burned In the engine not espe-
cially designed to carry off the by
product Of combustion are most likely
to be harmed beyond the actual saw
ing made in using cheaper fuel, points
out Mr.. McColly. The damage comes
to the engine when sulphur is COM
bined with water and forms a weak
solution Of sulphuric acid which
readily pits the polished motor parts.
TO illustrate his point. MI. McColly
makes the supposition that a tractor
owner who purchases distillate at 9
cents or a saving of 6 cents over
what kerosene would cost, in the
course Of a hundred hours of running,
the saving would amount to $18.
Then suppose the engine was harmed
by using the cheaper fuel. the
chances are that the cost Of repairs
on the engine would exceed the saw
ing in cheaper fuel, points out Mr..
McColly.
Distiuates on the market at the
present time should have q limitation
Of 1888 per cent Of sulphur content
az compared with a las per cent to
be found in kerosene and q L per
cent in motor gasoline. These figures
were obtained from the state chem
list at Bismarck.
The success Of using distillate for
tractor fuel depends on the following
items: That the motor operate

Canada Will Place
Ban on immigration

Ottawa. Ont, Aug. 16.-(F-Immi-
grafton from continental Europe to
this country is prohibited today as
Canada's first move toward solving
the unemployment situation.
Announcement of the ban was made
yesterday by w. A. Gordon, minister
of immigration and colonization, who
said the only exception to the order
would, be admission of experienced
farmers Of suitable type.
He said the new policy would not
interfere with free movement from
Great Britain or the United States of
tourists OF those engaged in business
or commerce, but that the govern
ment would neither solicit nor , en-
courage such movement at the pres
ent time.
Unemployment relief was the pres

Plant Lice Have Done
Much Damage in State

Aphids, or plant lice, have been
taking their annual toll in the gar
dens and flower plots of North Da-
kota, according to reports coming to
the entomology department at North
Dakota Agricultural college. They
have caused the injury by sucking the
sap from the plants, leaving them to
wilt and die. Peas in the gardens
have suffered, while sweet peas. roses
and the like have succumbed to the
ravages Of these plant pests.
The plant louise can be identified
