OF Interest To Farmers
Harm Done by Feeding
Minerals to Cattle
BY County Agent E. c. Durdle

aside from common salt, the only
minerals that are needed as supple
ments to ordinary farm rations for
livestock are calcium, phosphorus, and
sometimes iodine" declares Jerry So
tola of the state college animal hus-
bandry division.
Mixtures containing such substances
as Glauber's salts, EPSON salts, cop
peras, potassium chloride, sulfur, and
others have no justification from the
standpoint of nutrition Their contin-
ued feeding may be positively harmful.
Compounds of calcium and phos-
phorus which are suitable for feeding
as mineral supplements, all of which
are finely ground, may be purchased
at one to three cents pound Com
pleX mixtures usually sell at much
higher prices than this. The complex
products in many cases are worth less
than the mixtures of calcium and
phosphorus compounds, because the
percentage of needed minerals is low
cred by including worthless substances
which only exert diluting influence.
MANY stockmen are guilty of over
enthusiasm in recommending minerals
for livestock, working on the theory
that if small quantities are helpful,
large doses can do no harm. In many
cases these men are not only vast
ing their money but are harming their
livestock as we'll

18th Field Day To Be
Held Next Wednesday

The thirteenth annual Field Day will
be held Wednesday, July 20, at the
Prosser Experiment Station, which is
located five miles northeast of Prosser.
and reached by taking the Whitstran
road at Prosser and turning north at
Experiment Station sign.
The field trip will start at $50 a. m.
During the trip some of the main
points of interest will be: Plum var
iety orchard; sprinkler irrigation in
vestigations Gin cooperation with the
committee on relation of electricity to
agriculture); variety orchard of apples,
peaches, pears, cherries and other mis-
cellaneous fruits; pastures for dairy
cattle and sheep; fertilizer trials on
lettuce; cover crop plots; new prom
Using varieties of sweet clover; orchard
irrigation studies, including accurate
determinations of soil moisture and
tree responses; pruning studies; cereal
and corn varieties; alfalfa varieties;
fertilizers for alfalfa; irrigation of al
falfa, potatoes, corn and wheat; soil
moisture experiments; and fertilizer
studies in three year non-legume ro-
tation.
In order to make the day pleasant
one for the family, arrangements have
been made for picnic in the Prosser
park following the field trip, which
will be completed by one o'clock. Wis
itors are invited to bring basket
lunches. The Prosser Community Club
will furnish hot coffee and iced tea.
Lunches and ice cream will be sold at
the park at popular prices. The Pros
ser park is an ideal place for a picnic.
There is plenty of shade and grass,
playground equipment, and it adjoins
the swimming pool. The pool is one of
the largest in the valley and has a
competent life guard in charge at all
times. Arrangements have been made
at the swimming pool so that on Field
Day one admission price covers the
entire day. Women and children who
do not wish to take part in the field
trip will find the Prosser park an en-
joyable place to spend the morning.
No program has been arranged for
the afternoon. Members of the staff
will be at the Station all afternoon
and anyone who desires to go over the
work in greater detail will have an
opportunity to do so.

GROWERS TAKE IMPORTANT STEP

In removing the G grade from the standard APP
pile pack, the growers in this state took a momen-
tous step in the marketing Of their crop.
By this action they Topped off from sixth to a
fifth of their commercial crop, which should have
stimulating effect the prices received for their
Extras and Fancies
In the past ten years there have been but few
seasons when the growers have received enough
for their C's to cover packing and freight charg-
es. In fact, in most Of these years the returns re-
ceived for this grade have shown loss.
But Of more Importance is the fact that in the
past the C's have gone the market in compe-
titon with the Extras and Fancies, which has had
a bearish tendency on the prices for the better
grades.
Another step to place ban the ship
ment of apples showing more than three per cent
worm lnfestatlon This practically eliminates the
shipment of culls, which in the past have been sold
in comparatively large quantities to the canneries.
These have brought little or no returns to the
growers and have been filling demand that will
probably be supplied now with the grades With
out packing and heavy freight charges, the C's
sold this way should show profit to the growers.
This is a good year to try out the new plan.
Because OF economic conditions, many businesses
have found it advisable to revise their methods
and the growing and marketing of apples is just
as important business as any other, and larger
than most Of them.

First Americana Origin
Lost In Mists of Time

Back through the centuries and
the millenniums seems to go the
origin Of the American aborigine.
Yet, as far back as that may be,
lingual likenesses exist in the lam
guages of Asia and America. An
American missionary now with the
Pueblo Indians in New Mexico, who
had spent some years in Japan and
is master of eleven languages,
was first attracted to the Pueblos
by the similarity of the "sing'' of
their language to that of the Jap
anese. Through uncounted GEN.
turtles the languages of the two
continents have been evolving and
changing and growing, yet in
neither has all the fundamental
characteristics been lost. We are
learning that what we call the
-aborigines of North America are
no recent immigrants from Asia, as
we once supposed, but have been
rooted in the soil for so long that
scientists are becoming very lib
eral with their ciphers when they
try to compute it. What geolog-
ical changes, the rise and submer-
sion of mountain ranges, the Gla-
cial age, the physical changes
wrought by volcanic action, etc.,
have done to determine the limits
of mans habitation and his racial
differentiation, is something of
which the data is very meager and
incomplete. Scientists are learn
ing that it is unsafe to base their
theories upon conditions as they
exist today. Time Is mans own
invention.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

7. B. Clue Is Barred
In Eastern College
Cornell Expert Finds Strong And
Weak Germs Can Produce
Each Other

Atlantic City,, Dec. ga new
clue to why tuberculosis is some
times dangerous and sometimes
mild-discovery that the selfsame
tuberculosis germ can produce
either form of the disease was
announced today before the Ameri-
can Association for the Advance
ment of Science.
It upsets any idea that one Of
the two kinds of tuberculosis
germs is more dangerous than the
other, for it was found that the
weak or less virulent type of germ
can produce strong or highly viru-
lent offspring and that virulent
germs can produce the relatively
harmless type. The discovery was
reported by Professor Morton c.
Kahn of Cornell Medical College,
New York city.
BY getting single germ off in a
corner away from it's fellows, Pro-
fessor Kahn also discovered new
secrets of how a tuberculosis germ
reproduces and found it takes on
four different DISCUSSES in its life
history.
He found that instead of splitting
into two halves, which then splits
again, as some germs do, the tuber-
culosis germ reproduced by divid-
ing into several small oval pieces.
These turned into tiny granules
and the granules became small,
delicate, rod shaped objects. The
rods then grew back to the size
and shape of the parent germ.

Song Writer'S Inspiration

The song. after the Ball." was
written by the late Charles X. Har-
ris. Tt was at ball in Chicago
that Harris found what he termed
the inspiration Of his song. He
and a Kentucky girl to whom his
hostess introduced him danced to-
gether all evening. In their group
was an engaged couple who quar-
relied during the dance. The man
''took home" another girl. His for
mer fiancee attempted to disguise
her unhappiness-seeing this, Har-
ris thought to himself. "Manv-r a
heart is aching after the ball" This
was the inception Of the well-known
song. In one hours time music
and lyric were written.

"Defender of the Faith"

Henry VIII. who was a political
rather than a theological rebel
against the Roman church. and in
his youth was a champion Of Or
thodoxy, wrote a book in defense
Of the seven sacraments against
Luther. In recognition Of his serv-
ices, Pope Leo x granted to him in
1921 the title of defender Of the
Faith" so putting him on an
equal footing with the Catholic"
king Of Spain and the Most Chris
tian" king Of France. After Henry's
break with Rome, Pope Paul III
revoked the title: but in 1914 Henry
obtained an act Of his own parlia-
ment comforting the same title
upon him. 1t has been borne ever

Prodigal Son Parable
Short-Storv Masterpiece

The short story has always ex-
listed, though it was not until the
Nineteenth century that the art Of
writing It was consciously prac-
ticed. As Sophocles said of
Aeschylus, these early authors Of
short stories did the right thing
without knowing why. It was only
on, rare occasions, however. that
these happy accidents occurred.
Thus Professor Baldwin, after ex-
haustive examination of the 100
tales in Boccaccio's "Decameron,"
decided that only two Of them are
short tales in the modern critical
sense, while three others approach
the totality of impression which is
the result of conscious unity In ex-
preston. We must 60 back to the
New Testament for a short story
which is a structural masterpiece.
The parable Of the Prodigal Son,
which is only 500 words long In
the authorized version, satisfies the
modern definition, securing the
greatest emphasis possible with
surprising economy Of means. In
America the short story had its be-
ginning in the sketch Book" Of
Washington Irving.

World Owes Vast Debt

towering up there, stern and grim,
in the North ocean where
of all places we least looked for
literature or written memorials,
the record Of these things was writ
ten down. On the seaboard of this
wild land is a rim Of grassy coun-
try, where cattle can subsist, and
men by means of them and Of
what the sea yields; and it seems
they were poetic men-these men
who had deep thoughts in them,
and uttered unsteady their

Archery Practice

Butt shooting is an old English
term which means the same thing
as target shooting. In the olden
days the shooting grounds were
equipped with banks Of dirt, COW
cred with sod, which formed the
so-called butt. Over this sod was
usually placed a piece of paper to
act as target, and the term butt
shooting" was used to distinguish
1t from rovers. Rowing consists In
shooting at various targets placed
in fields at varying distances. The
archers shoot from one to another,
which helps develop their judy
ment Of distances, and in the old
en- days meant quite a lot to the
yeomen, whose business was shoot
ing the bow and arrow, and on
days when they were not fighting
they were in the fields practicing
roving.-Montreal Family Herald.
