Average Gardener Has Little Idea
Of Interesting Story Behind Seeds

species finds its way to the seed grow
er's lot. This pollen fertilizes his
plants and the resulting seed from his
crop will produce a flower or fruit
with mixed characteristics Of both
plants. This Is often observed in
corn-the ear bears both white and
yellow kernels
Machine Packed
After the seed is tested for its pro-
duction qualities, it is then weighed
and packed for distribution. This
process is almost entirely mechanical.
A delicate scales that will divide a
pound into $500 parts is brought into
use. The scotsman determines from
the cost of the seed just how many
he should include in a package to
pay him. He divides a pound of seed
by this scales into the required num-
Der of packages.
Then another machine is brought
into play. 1t has a die which holds
just enough seed to make up the
weight determined on the scales.
Seeds are fed into a hopper above
the machine and from then on fill
ing. closing and sealing of the pack.
ages Is automatic. The amount Of
seed in each package does not var,
more than 10 per cent above or be.
low the set standard previously de.
termined.
These machines can turn out 10000
packages of seed in an eight-hour day
and large seed houses turn out from
10000 to 100000 day during the
rush season.

Describes What Would HAPPEN
to World If Temperature

washington, May 2.-P)-Just

earth two or three degrees and you
can bid goodbye to all the big cities
on earth. Glaciers will melt and
oceans will rise, and
But let the weatherman get in on
this. It took a weatherman to think
up the idea and whole audience of
weathermen to listen to it with COM
posure and without adopting a re-
solution or staging a demonstration
DR.. William j. Humphreys Of the
q. S. Weather bureau took q lot OF
evidence to make up the painstaking
case, presented Monday to the Amer
lean Meteorological society, that the
earth's glaciers, If melted, would raise
the ocean level $50 feet, and that the
aforementioned slight increase in
warmth would do the melting.
One could still be dry above the
18th floor level in cities with sky
scrapers, but all about would be the
bounding waves. New York, Lon
don, Paris, Philadelphia, Los Angeles,
Washington, Shanghai-all gone.

anced between this catastrophe and
the equally cherries prospect Of an
other glacial period. It would take
but a drop of five or six degrees in
the earth to bring back the ice age,

VOTE MILLION FOR
HOPPER CONTROL
House Agricultural Body Favors
Measure to Aid North
west F armers

Washington, May 2.-(R-The
house agriculture committee Monday
approved the Simmons resolution to
authorize 100000 for grasshopper
control is eight northwestern states.
Instead of taking up the Simmons
resolution, however, Chairman Jones
said it was likely he would ask the
house to vote on the Shipstead meas
ure approved Friday by the senate.
The latter would appropriate and
make Immediately available $780,
600. The house will be asked to re-
duce that to $1,000 900 and agree to
the remainder Of the resolution.
Speaker Garner told newspaper
men he hoped the house would be
able before adjournment tonight to
approve the senate resolution to APP
propriate funds to eradicate the
grasshoppers.
Garner indicated II 1t were neces-
sary the measure would be brought
up under a suspension of the rules,
limiting debate to 40 minutes.
1T Is an emergency measure and
the house ought to act on it at once"
he said.
Reason for doing something quick
ly to keep grasshoppers from destroy
ing crops in the northwest were ex-
planned to the agriculture committee
by w. H. Larrimer, of the Bureau Of
Entomology.
He said eggs laid by the grasshop-
petS after the devastation last year
are beginning to hatch, and added:
There are enough eggs in Mime
sofa, North Dakota. South Dakota,
Nebraska, Iowa, Montana, Wyoming,
and Colorado to be a serious menace
and promise an outbreak as great as
or greater than last year. The dam
ger is at hand"
He pointed out that after the eggs
hatch, the grasshoppers do not sprout
wings for about two weeks and stay on
the Matching grounds that length OF
time.
IF anything is done at all it must
be done Immediately after the hatch
ing period" Larrimer said.

Specialists Devote Hundreds of
Acres to Develop Best
Varieties

Cleveland, May 2.-The average
gardener who buys his little package
Of flower or vegetable seed gives little
thought to the interesting story be-
hind them. But seed, some of them
so tiny that they are almost invisible,
have made huge industry in the
United States.
Seed raising is done by specialists.
These men are gardeners who devote
hundreds of acres of land to a certain
type Of flower or vegetable. and who
value the plant not for its fruit or
blossom, but solely for the seed pro-
duced.
1.-THE raising of seed Is indeed an
art" Floyd Bradley, nationally known
scotsman, opines. Because of vary
ing climatic conditions in various
parts of the world, and because of pc
culiaritieS OF plants, many foreign
countries can produce better seed of
certain plants than seedsmen in the
United States. For that reason many
varieties are imported from other
countries.
Danes Raise Best Cabbage
Take cabbage and cauliflower, for
instance-the Danes. because of their
long experience with these plants, and
the favorable climatic conditions in
Denmark, produce the best cabbage
and cauliflower seed in the world
The best sweet corn seed in the world
is grown by Charles Clarke, at Wake

Made to order for Cagney's talents,
1.-THE Crowd Roars" is the story Of a
daredevil driver who lives hectic life
both on and off the track, yet hopes
to keep his adoring younger brother
from following in his steps. AS you
might expect, Mr.. Cagneys actions
have more influence than his words,
and he Is none too successful as a CEN
sor OF youthful morals. Stubborn in
his attempts to direct other folks
lives, he ends by breaking with the
girl he loves and. finally with his
brother. Half-crazed with anger at
ter the break, Cagney drives in q race,
wrecks the car of his best friend and
kills him. After this accident-a
breath-taking scene on the screen
Cagney's career seems over. Even his
iron nerve is gone, and he finds him.

telling too much to say just how the

ending gives Cagney one more break

Of his former triumphs. And for Mr..
Cagney, just one break Is enough.
Cagney's acting and the original
story are two good reasons for seeing

the speedway scenes, and filled them
with nerve-wracking thrills.
