Keeping Canned Goods Pure.

There were 75o factories inspected and 1.FoO
samples of canned vegetables examined. As
result of the activities, 28 instances of i'm
proper methods or materials were uncovered,
with the seizures following.
Among the foods involved in the inspections
were asparagus, beets, beans, corn, mixed vege-
tables, mushrooms, peas, pimentos, pumpkin.
squash, sanerkraut, Suceotash, sweet potatoes,
spinach, tomatoes and tomato products
The, more fragrant violations, resulting in
regulatory action, were underpr0eessing, calls-
ing decomposition of the canned product; the
use Of decomposed matter in the production of
tomato puree and eatsup, the addition of
water and seepage juice to canned tomatoes
and short weight and slack filing.

which are believed to be pure and wholesome,

This Summers record drought while Id did

and others have advised that wheat be fed to

TWO things, acting together, have brought
about condition where it seems certain that
this advice viii be followed The corn crep,
withered By weeks Of hot dry weather, is small;
great havoc was wrought by those rainless days
Of blstering heat that followed each other IN
seemingly endless procession. And wheat hs
been selling at startlingiy low figures.
THE Farmers National Grain Corporation
has estimated that from IS 0oe. eco to &c.,
000,000 bushels Of wheat viii be fed 10 live
stock this year. And this win 60 q long way
toward helping TO relieve the Overstoched wheat
bins that have weighed wheat prices down.
But, as Mr.. Legge pointed out in an address.
while the use Of wheat for feeding purposes
win help in Meeting the present emergency.
the growing Of wheat rs feed for live stock
cannot be considered as a profitable enterprise
under normal conditions. The only way to i'm
prove the wheat price situation permanently is
to work denitely toward reduction of the an
nual wheat production of the United States"
Yet more and more combines are being sold
by alert statesmen. Each year sees vastly more
sod broken ON cheap land, once the grazing
ground of the bison and the steer. and now
dedicated to eheaply produced wheat. The in
dividual farmer on high-priced wheat land
seems to be the chief loser in an economic shift
which Is typical Of this age OF machinery and
mass production. It is q situation which might
have been visioned by ANY real prophet years
ago, when the first giant machinery bit into
the wastelands of the open spaces. But the
prophets seem to have been busy with other
problems-and probably nobody would have
paid attention to them anyway.

Once more science has come to the aid of man in his efforts to overcome the obnoxious habits of certain species of the animal kingdom.
 A hotel in Pasadena, Cal, has among its attractions some slightly lily ponds, but these became infested with frogs, whose nightly concerts were a great annoyance and kept the guests awake. After offering bounties for all frogs captured, hiring riflemen to shoot them and exhausting all his ingenu- ity to rid the ponds of the noc- turnal nuisance, the manager began a scientific study of frog psychology through read ing all the books he could get hold of which might give an insight into their habits. His researches revealed that frogs sing, or croak, only under the cover of darkness. so he ar.

A Calamity Cry.

In a recent sermon, New Jersey minister made a state ment that sounds quite famil- far, as follows:
 There is lawlessness every where. Children no longer obey their parents. It is evi- dent that the end of the age is at hand"
 Then the pastor told his con gregation that the words were not original with him, not even an utterance of the present day. They were translated from an inscription on a brick found in the ruins of ancient Assyria, dating centuries be- fore the time of the patriarch Abraham.
 Records which have been pre- served during all the periods of recorded history give evi- dence of similar conditions ex- ing in the world. Sometimes an improvement is noted :; again lawlessness and violence become more prevalent than ever.
 While present day conditions are bad enough, it seems on the whole that they are better than in the past. There is more thought given to the re- lief of suffering, to the better ment of industrial conditions, to mutual helpfulness and like matters of benefit to humani- ty than in former times. AL though the world war gave civilization severe setback in some respects, we must remem- Der that war has marked the history of every generation of mankind. The same is true of lawlessness, oppression and ev- cry other manifestation of inn morality. These will always exist in greater or less degree, so long as good and evil strug- gle for mastery in the hearts and minds of men.
