Seeds Should Be Kept
Dry While in Storage

Crop seeds protected from damp
ness in storage will have a better
chance Of terminating and produc-
ing strong plants even when handi-
capped by unfavorable weather.
Dampness in storage has a tend
ency to start the terminating proc
ess, and this weakens the seed. ex-
planned Dr.. r. F. Poole, plant path
ologist with the North Carolina Ag-
ricultural Experiment station.
Irish potatoes stored in banks
should be aired frequently to pre-
vent decay.
Corn, small grain, and other seed
should be kept in lead-proof build
ings with adequate ventilation to
prevent the accumulation Of too
much moisture.
However, this does not mean that
the seed should be openly exposed
to ~infestation by insect pests, DR..
Poole cautioned.

RECORDS Hep IN
Improving Sheep
Systematic Check Is Urged
to Produce Better Wool
and Mutton.

1T. Ohio state Universify.-WNU service.
One line Of pencil work j. year
for each eve in the farm flock may
help materially in improving the e
turns from wool and mutton, as
q written record Is q great aid in
culling inferior animals.
Profits from sheep depend q great
deal upon producing limbs and
wool which will bring top market
prices and that Is impossible II the
breeding flock lacks uniformity.
Fine wool ewes should shear from
10 to IA pounds Of wool which will
grade Delaine or fine combing, and
coarse woods should shear 8 to II
pounds that will grade as combing
wool.
Records kept at shearing time
will furnish a basis for taking out Of
the flock those ewes which have
light heeces or which produce wool
OF a poorer grade than the flock
average. The owner Of the flock
knows at shearing time which ewes
should be discarded but it is doubt
ful II he can remember the fleece
weights unless q written record Is
kept or the culls are marked.
Many Of the light lambs that +
not ready for market when the oth-'
ers are ready for sale are late
lambs caused by shy breeding ewes
or they are unthrifty lambs from
ewes which are poor mixers. Ewes
in either Of these classifcations
should be discarded, and, again, a
written record will help in identi-
flying the culls.
Simple record forms that provide
means for keeping a check OF each
eve in the flock have been prepared
by the departments Of animal hus-
bandry and rural economics. One
line across the sheet provides space
for all the records needed on a eve
for q year. County agricultural
agents can supply these flock rec-
ord forms upon request.

would like to bring out is that with

to measure the bar and the athlete

I'm not complaining or criticizing

they remember this point. An ath-
lete trains for IS years to achieve
the honor Of lifting his body to q
height previously unreached by

mendous amount Of energy must be
expended. It would SEEM, there
fore, that the measurement should
be checked carefully and announced
before the record is attempted.
I thought that winning the 0lym-

It was such an unusual feeling to

And all because Of inaccurate

that I didn't want the officials to

Fourth Horrible
Brooklyn Staying
Eight Year-Old Girl Strangled and
Assaulted by Unknown Fiend in
Cellar Of Her Tenement Home.

A stranger who operated in
broad daylight killed eight-year-old
Paula Magagna Sunday in the cellar
of her tenement home in Brooklyn.
He Topped a clothesline four times
around her neck, stripped off her
clothes, and assaulted her after she
was dead. Then he dragged her
across the floor and dumped the
body on baby carriage near some
garbage cans.
The killer apparently surprised
the girl at play shortly before noon,
Assistant Medical Examiner Romeo
Auerbach said, for her body was
still warm when it was found about
l o'clock.
The Staying was similar to three
others that have occurred in Brook
Ign in the last four years.
The death of Barbara Wiles, 6, in
1888 was almost identical. She was
strangled with rope, and her body
was found lying across a baby car
riage.
Helen Sterler, 6, also was strangl-
ed and criminally assaulted in the
same year. Her assailant was arrest
ed later and condemned.
The scene of today's crime was
near the neighborhood where Elmer
Sporrer, 9, was assaulted and killed
last March by Salvatore Ossida, 26-
year-old barber. Ossida now is
awaiting death at Sing Sing for the
crime.
The Magagna girl was the daugh-
ter of a stone cutter, one of family
of three living in a seven-family
tenement Her body was found by
a tenant, Mrs. Lena Held, when she
entered the cellar to dispose of some
refuse
The sun suit Paula had been
wearing was missing, and the police
search for the killer was centered
on it. They detained for questioning
a man who had been arrested last
Saturday on a charge of inpairing
the morals of minors and who had
been free on bail, awaiting trial.

Baked Snakes Is
Delicacy in Japan
Japs Think Snake Meat Good Cure
for Diseases and Aid to Keeping
Young for Long Period.

In Tokyo alone more than 1000
reptiles day are being eaten-''for
medicinal purposes only"-by the
more credulous of the populace.
Baked snake as an "infallible
cure" for tuberculosis and other dis
eases began to gain in popularity in
Japan 20 years ago. Today there are
more than 100 retail stores in Tokyo
alone for the sale of baked snakes.
The owners say that snakemeat is
rich in vitamins and that it contains
mysterious rejuvenating properties
found in no other meat.
The largest of these SNAKE" es-
Establishments according to it's pro-
prietor, handles about 100000 snakes
year. A current stock of at least
10000 live serpents is kept on hand.
Specially selected species are dis
played in glass showcases where
patrons may see and select their
own varieties.
The vogue for baked snake has in
creased to such an extent in the last
few years that proprietors of snake
cafes in the metropolis ae worrying
whether the natural supply of SER
penis will be sufficient to meet their
needs. Country districts are being
secured. Even adders are at a prem
ium for the connections which are
advertised as curative tonics.
Despite the fact that police regu-
lations prohibit the selling of snake
as medicine, the miraculous pow
err" of the flesh of these reptiles has
so stimulated the belief of the I'M
educated that people are eating SER
penis for rheumatism, cancer, stom-
ach ailments, and even for lemeness.
To prepare snake flesh, the rep
tile is first boiled in water for 20
minutes. The flesh then is placed in
an earthen jar covered with clay
and baked in straw fire for a half
hour The meat thus treated be-
comes hard and dark brown in
color. This is eaten hot or cold, and
in some cases pulverized and used
as garniSh for other foods
Proprietors of SNAKE houses" say
that recently there has been a I'M
precedented demand for the alcohol
in which adders have been picked.
This is drunk for it's Wanted "cura-
tive powers.
Because police regulations pro-
hibit the advertising of the medi-
cinal value of baked snake, one en-
terprising proprietor hit upon the
idea of releasing a number of his
reptiles on successive occasions in
the neighborhood. They crawled
and squirmed through the streets,
throwing pedestrians into a panic.
The protests and outcry of resi-
dents for blocks about brought the
police, but the incident also found
its way into the news columns of
local papers. The advertisement thus
obtained brought the snake man"
in an avalanche of orders.
