LETTUCE AIDED
BY VALLEY MEN

Better termination in hot wealth
er OF lettuce seed IS the experiment
being conducted now by Prof. H. A.
Borthwick of the College OF Agri-
culture at Davis, in cooperation
with four valley produce firms:
Sawdey Hunt, s. A. Gerard, AM
erican Fruit Growers, and E. B.
Hunter
Seed is soaked and then placed
under refrigeration at a tempera-
ture just above freezing. After be-
ing under refrigeration, the seed is
then planted beside the untreated
seed.
At present, beginning today. re-
suits are being checked to deter
mine whether termination is bet
ter for the treated or untreated
seed. The water shortage caused
a delay in beginning the expert
ment. but with the hot fall eXper-
fenced. it is anticipated that results
will be better than those of last
fall, when the temperatures were
not so high.
II the present experiments should
prove that seed treated in this
manner has better termination in
hot weather, they will be of great
advantage in the growing of early
lettuce.

the fat pig gentleman" said the
voice And 1 mean why don't you
take some Of these brown pine cones
to set up for nine pins? The cones
aren't exactly wood, but think you
can bowl them over"
Surely I can" said Uncle Wig
gily. IT'S Jolly good idea of yours.
TWisty. my boy. Help me set them
up"
Uncle Wiggily and the fat pig
gentleman set up nine pine cones
on level path in the woods. The
path was like a bowling alley. The
pine cones are really the seeds of
the pine tree. But they were just
what Uncle Wiggily needen for his
nine pins.
Now watch this shot!' called the
rabbit to the pig. Mr.. Longears
rolled the croquet ball down the
woodland path toward the nine pine
cone pins set in the shape of =
triangle But something went
wrong. The ball rolled off the path
and, only that Mr. Twistytail
Jumped out of the way. he would
have been hit by it
That's q poor shot" grunted the
fat pig.
We'll. watch this next one!"
called Uncle Wiggily Il need 4 bit
Of practise and I'm always better
9n my second shot"
He picked up the ball and -olled
again. For a time it seemed rs if
this ball would knock down all the
nine pine cones. But, all of a sud-
cen the bah twisted off the path
and rolled into the bushes without
knocking down a single pine nine
pin. And then a voice howled:
"Oh Ouch! Oh, my nose! My
nose!'
Did I bang you on the nose,
Twisty?" asked the rabbit.
NO, you hit the Bob Cat on his
nose!" laughed the pig. He was
hiding in the bushes waiting to nib
ble you. But you made a lucky
shot and whanged him hard. There
he goesi" he pointed to the Bob Cat
running out of the bushes. taking
his silly little tail with nim.
Yes, I guess it was a lucky shot"
chuhkled Mr. Longears. II am bet
ter at hitting Bob Cats than I am
ct hitting pine cone nine pins"
So everything happened for the
best, and if the pussy cat will let
the elephant have a drink of her
saucer of milk when she is tapping
it up for supper, III tell you nexo
about Uncle Wiggily's new broom.

Mr.. I.NsytalI Jumped.

The day before. as I told you in
the story of last night. Uncle Wig
gily saw his bunny children playing
the game of bowling, or nine pins,
which Mrs. LongearS bought at the
eleven and twelve cent store 10
amuse the little rabbits. Baby
Bunty made a fine shot, knocking
down all the nine pins, or little
clubs, with enc ball.
But when Uncle Wiggily tried he
didn't hit a single pin with Iho
first ball. Though with the second
he hit Baby Bunty on the leg and
then he had to buy lollypop for
her so she would stop crying.
If there was only some way I
could practise that nine pin game
out here in the woods" said Nj
Longears to himself as he hoped
along. 4 would become very clever
ct il. Il had a round. wooden ball
and something to set up in 4 trian-
gle shape for nine pins could do a
little practise in secret and then l
could do better than Baby Bunty.
Uncle Wiggily looked around and,
to his surprise, he saw under n
bush, a round, wooden ball, just
right for playing the game Of bowl
ing or nine pins
Picking up the ball, Uncle Wig
gily saw that it had once been used
for the game Of croquet.
But it will do just as we'll for
nine pins" said the rabbit. I sup
pose" went on Mr. Longears, that
some of the children were playing
croquet out here in the woods, and
they knocked this ball so far they
couldn't find it again. It's like q
lost golf ball and whoever finds il
may keep it."
Uncle Wiggily now had a ball
to roll. but ne needed nine oins 10
knock down to play the game pro
perly.
u wonder" said the rabbit gen.
tleman, speaking louder than usual
what I could use for nine pins? Pins
that come stuck in rows on paper
for ladies to fasten up their dresses
wouldn't do. I must have nine pins
shaped like little clubs, and they
must be something like wood
All of a sudden a voice asked;
Why don't you use these?'
Dear mel Who are you and
what do you mean?" asked the rab-
bit.
Il am your friend, Mr.. Twistytail,

WHILE singing the praises of air heroes
W has become somewhat prosac be-
cause of the numerous times their activities
have called for commendation, the feat Of
Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon in
crossing the Pacific ocean without a stop,
is worthy of more than ordinary notice.
Not only was it stupendous from the
standpoint of the flyer and those who
admire the flyers work, it was splendid
proof of the truth Of the saying that keep
ing everlastingly at it will bring success.
For over year these two planned and
prepared in every way for an air trip
around the globe BY the time they were
ready to start a record had already been
set and they assayed the difficult task
of breaking it.
Instead they met with misfortune af
ter misfortune and finally had to aban
don their enterprise. Upon reaching
Japan they were arrested for taking
photographs of forbidden places and not
only were fined and censured by the Jap
anese, but became something Of scape-
goats in the eyes Of many Of their coun-
trymen.
Undaunted by these setbacks they car
ried on. The Pacific alone remained as
a challenge to the airmen and they ac-
cepted the challenge. They refused to be
scared by the predictions of disaster and
their success is proof of the soundness OF
their confidence in their machine and
their own ability. They certainly are en-
titled to as much adulation as others who
have achieved renown in air circles.
Incidentally their arrival at Wenat-
chee yesterday, showed the true sports
manship of the japanese Despite the un-
pleasantness surrounding the stay OF the
flyers in Japan, they were greeted by two
japanese newspapermen yesterday with
the assurance that the money their paper
had offered for the first Pacific crossing,
would be paid to them. Not quite
so sportsmanlike is the action OF one
of their own countrymen, who appears
to be welching on his promises to reward
a successful Pacific flight.
It's terrible pun but it seems tnat Mr..
Capone was treated to different KIND

ably like to give Mr.. Simmons a fine

SENATOR MORROW
w. c. COSTELLO
Manager

THE sudden death of Senator Dwight
i w. Morrow of New Jersey, recogniz-
ed as leader among liberal minded Re-
publicans, although his political career
was brief, comes as a distinct shock to
the nation and a severe loss to its politi-
cal circles.
Although held in some suspicion af-
ter his entry into politics because he
was Morgan man, or business as
sociate of j. P. Morgan, Senator Morrow
proved himself to be a man with a deep
interest in the welfare of the masses and
not in the least prejudiced in favor of
the classes
1t was his fellow alumnus, Calvin
Coolidge, who placed Senator Morrow
in the front rank of political leaders when
he named him ambassador to Mexico at
a time when our relations with our south
ern neighbor were severely strained.
To Dwight Morrow alone history will
credit the creation of the present cordial
neighborliness which exists between the
two nations 1t was his tact, coupled
with the confidence he created by his
straightforwardness and his sympathetic
understanding, that enabled him to sue
ceed.
Returning to this country after his
services in Mexico, he was named to the
senate from New Jersey and later was
elected to that office. Although he made
no speeches in that body and was not op-
enly active except on a few occasions,
his influence in the conference room was
admitted on all sides and his counsel was
sought by many whose names appear
more frequently in print.
Senator Morrow was consplcuously
mentioned as presidential timber and
though dark horse" as far as 1882 is
concerned, was freely considered
strong man. for 1886.
Possessing a pleasing personality,
which inspired trust and confidence IN
him, and with the poise and assurance
of the deep thinker, he was OF the high
est type the country produces ana MS
passing is deeply regretted by all.
The height of something or other Is

principle of refrigeration, and so the intake manifold ought to be cold, unless mechanically heated Experiments at Penn State show that it is cold. In summer temp eratures of 70 to 80 degrees, the intake manifold is at about 40 de- grees.
 Part of Fuel Detoured'
 To obtain a useful cooler for an automobile Prof. Stewart would use this cold. He suggests some of the fuel en route to the engine be detoured and used as a refriger- ant to chill the cooling unit of small refrigerator in the car.
 To insure continuous vaporiza- tion he would draw the air for the carburetor through the cooling unit. The whole operation should cool a small refrigerator, just as the vaporizing gasoline now chills the intake manifold.
 A highly volatile fuel would be needed, Prof. Stewart says, and he estimates that such an outfit should maintain, in hot weather, a refrig- orator temperature of about 50 de- grees.
 Instead of being condensed for use over and over again, the fuel from the cooling unit would pass into the engine and burn exactly like fuel introduced in the regular manner.

FARM FACTIONS ASK MORE DUTY
 ON DRIED EGGS
ariff Commission Peti- toned to lake Issue
 Up With Hoover
By FRANK l. WELLER Associated Press Farm Edltor)

AfAoSOCAaOCA ANsoS T eAA AAA A@NAAeOAf
 WASHINGTON, b. C., Aug. L. In the interests of the Sl,l5u,U00,' vvU American poultry lndusGry, three national farm organlzaClon. have petitioned the Tariff Com mission to recommend the Presl- dent increase the import duty or dried eggs 50 per cent of the cur rent rate of Is cents a pound.
 The brief was filed on behalf oi domestic producers by the Amerl- can Farm Bureau Federation, the National Cooperative MIX Pro- aucerse Federation and the National grange.
 It says importation of dried eggs principally from China, represented about 43,73l 900 pounds reduced to the liquid equivalent in l930 and that the imports just about totaled the surplus of shell eggs.
 Slump Laid To Chinese
 This surplus on April l, last, was l6,380,000 dozens above the flVe- year average surplus and is held re- sponsible for a large part of the current depression in poultry prod ucts.
 AS nearly as costs of production can be estimated by the farm groups, the total cost of domestic dried egg products delivered at New York, the chief American market is sl.O76 a pound and the cost of the Chinese product 4l.605 cents a pound.
 Domestic dried egg production, the brief says, easily could be ex- banded to meet all domestic re- quirements if a protective duty were imposed.
 There are said to be many egg drying plants not now operating be- cause of inability to compete with the foreign product. This restricted outlet is blamed for the increased surplus of shell eggs and frozen eggs.
 The Commission is asked to study the cost of producing shell eggs in estimating the production cost of dried eggs since it is the largest item of cost entering into the pro- duction of the latter.
 The significance Of the request is apparent in view of the annual production of approximately 88,000,- 900 cases of eggs containing 30 dozen each.
 S2,OOO, ,OOO,00O Capital
 Producers have invested a cap ital in excess of $2,000, 100000. Feed consumed per year is worth approx imately $8OO,0000O0. There prob ably are 10,0OO,O00 families inter- ested in egg production.
 The 9-cent increase proposed under the flexible clause would in crease the duty on all categories from l8 to 27 cents a pound
