Better Sugar Cane

After relatively short tests in

It produced exceptionally heavy

planted and more recent tests
show that it does we'll on the

Acreage Reduction
For Cotton Report

The Crop Reporting Board OF
the United States Department Of
Agriculture announces that in the
cotton report to be published
August 8. allowance will be made
for the probable removal of acre
age under contract with the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administra-
ton.
The area for harvest which will
be used in the preparation Of the
report will be the area in cultiva-
ton July l, less the probable re-
moval of acreage under contract
as indicated by data from the
Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration. less ten-year average
abandonment on the area not
under contract.
Attention is directed to the fact
that the actual removal of acre
age will not be completed by Au-
gust 1, and, therefore, the num-
ber of acres of cotton actually to
be removed as result of the
adjustment program will not be
definitely known until later in
the season.

a question of minutes before it
flies apart into a million pieces.
Then there is silence for a few

LET THE ATOM ALONE
-bv ROBERT BENCHLEY-

Then some red got into a
laboratory and found that q
molecule was made up Of atoms.
although, I may say, he never
explained it to my satisfaction,
even after the textbooks took
1t up.
One claim I do make for my
self, I am loyal, and I stuck
by the moleclue as the smallest
thing in the world, even at the
risk Of being jeered at as an
aristocrat. But this fly-by-
night theory about atoms took
root and has now become
pretty we'll established in crack
Drained circles. Anything for
a sensation.
And now they want to break
the atom up. They found out
some time ago that an atom
is made up Of electrons, and
so they must take at apart and
look at an electron. I think
that I remember reading that
they have even found that elec.
irons are made up Of some
thing smaller, but I paid no
attention to it. Things like
that cease to be funny beyond
a certain point.
