afoul of the Federal laws was product manu-

Plan Defeats Weather

A NEW device which defeats the vagaries
of weather has been developed by an en-
gineer of the Department of Agriculture to aid
the cotton planter of the South It is always
a gambl. with weather conditions when cotton
Is sown. If the Spring weather is wet, the seed
should he planted shallowly, while if it is dry
the seet. should be planted deeply. Cold or
warm w.ather also has its effect
Under present practices, considerable more
seed ths an required is planted and the farmer
sits back and hopes for good stand of cotton
He expects to cut out much of that which
comes up, but he can't be always so certain
that any very great quantity will come up out
of the ground 49,
The new device is an adoption of the plant
ing shoe which, by means of a can, alternately
raises and lowers the shoe and plants seeds be-
tween the extremes to which shallow and deep
planting may CO. No two seeds side by side are
planted at the same depth. BY this method.
whatever the Spring weather may be, SUI.

Every day thousands Of letters and
packages pour into the Hollywood
post Office for the film celebrities. About half
of these letters simply requests for photo
graphs The other half range all the way
from requests for money to fanatical rawlings
either for or against the star. The packages
contain everything from jewelry to white mice.
However it isn't the contents Of these mis-
sives which bring about the headaches. It's
the manner in which they are addressed
Naturally, the majority of letters ad-
dressed In the conventional manner But there
are some which would tax any mans ingenuity

It seems as if some persons actually sit up
