KENT GROWERS
AFTER RODENTS
Meeting at the Richardson Or
chard Near Magnolia is
Scheduled for Tomorrow
MAKE DEMONSTRATIONS

Those fruit growers in Kent
county who are experiencing diff
ficulties with field mice attacking
their fruit trees and causing SER
ious injury especially to apple
trees, will be interested in attend
ing a mouse control demonstration
which will be held tomorrow, Fri
day afternoon in the orchard of
Herbert Q. Richardson near Mag
nolia. Arrangements for this field
meeting were made by County
Agent Russell E. Wilson in cooper
alton with Ernest M. Mills, assist
ant district agent for the Bureau
of Biological Survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
who will demonstrate the use of
various kinds of poisonous bats in
the control of these rodents. The
removal of grass, weeds and other
materials from around the base of
trees is helpful, but this practice
cannot be relied upon to give COM
plete protection against mice. The
use of cinders or sand mounded
about the trees does not always Of
fer adequate protection, and repel-
lent washes are not recommended
due possible injury to the trees,
consequently poisonous bats are
the most satisfactory materials in
controlling these rodents in fields
and orchards. Although this field
mouse control demonstration has
been planned primarily for the
benefit of fruit growers whose or
chards are infested with these ro-
dents because of sod culture or
cover crop conditions which are
favorable for harboring mice, there
may be other farmers in the county
interested in these rodent control
measures. In view of this possible
therefore, an invitation
is being extended to every inter
ested farmer in Kent county to
visit the Richardson orchard on
Friday afternoon.

Questions Answered

Miss r. M.-There is no evil
dence to indicate any relation be-
tween thunderstorms and the sour
ing of milk. Thunderstorms are
more likely to occur during the
summer when temperatures are
high. Hot weather also induces
bacterial growth in milk. The only
connection between the two is that
conditions favoring one also favor
the other. - ..
Mrs. ]. McK.-Though the food
value of meat extracts is low,
they have a tempting flavor, due
to the presence of the savory ex-
tractives which stimulate appe-
tite. Their content of potash salts
causes a quickened and stronger
heart beat. In fact, it has been
said that their effect is more like
stimulant than a food. That is
why they are often used as a re-
storative for invalids.

Energy Values Compared

All uncooked cereal foods show
great similarity in their chemical
composition and therefore have
very nearly the same energy val
ue-that is about l $50 Galleries per
pound. The weight of a local
orie portion is about an ounce. But
there is wide variation in bulk,
depending upon the degree to
which the cereal has been refined.
For example, three tablespoons of
patent wheat -four weigh one
ounce; one and one-fourth cups of
a pulled wheat cereal likewise
weigh one ounce. After cooking,
there is big variation in weight,
as well as measure, owing to the
varying amounts of water alb
sorbed. Thus a cup of cooked oat-
meal mush supplies the same
number of calories as three table
spoons of pebbly dry cereal with
a nut-like taste.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-08-11
The Cereal Proteins

From 8 to IL per cent of the cal
cries in cereal foods are obtained
from protein and two noted inves-
tigat0rs have estimated that grain
products contribute 38 per cent of
the total calories and 81 per cent
of the protein in the typical Amer
lean dietary.
Laboratory experiments indi-
cate that the proteins of wheat,
oats, maize, rye and barley are
about equally efficient in promot-
ing and supporting growth. None of
them compares with an equivalent
weight of the complete proteins of
milk, eggs or meat, but when COM
bined with small amounts of milk,
the cereal proteins become highly
efficient.

how soon the service will start, no
body knows.
It's just possible that in a few
weeks you may be able to slide
about $3.50 across the counter at
New York and buy an air ticket for
London, arriving there less than "a
hours out of Port Washington, Long
Island. Similar accommodations on
the liner Queen Mary would be $316,
plus tips, plus several days extra.
Passengers, mail and express will
be shuttled between the two CONT
nents in the new SO, 000-pound flying

The new clippers" are twice as
large as those now making regu-
lar, uneventful trips across the Pa
cific, being far and away the most
luxurious aircraft ever built. The
first of them was launched last April
and is now undergoing test flights on
the Pacific coast. It is larger than
the Santa Maria in which Columbus
crossed the ocean, and three times
the size of the average commercial
air transport. It has a Widespread

Two Deck Airliner.
From stem to stern, the new boat
has been built to parallel an ocean
vessel. It even has two decks, a
top one for navigation and lower
one for passengers. Up on the flight
deck large crew will be on duty.
Ahead, in the cockpit, the smallest
part of the deck, are the pilot and
co-pilot whose work is largely left to
robot instruments. Behind them in
the navigation room are the radio
man and the navigator, the former
in touch with land at all times.
Back of the navigator is the engi-
neer, possibly the busiest man on
the ship. He handles throttles,
checks engine performance and goes
out in the wing to repair an ailing
motor if it needs treatment.
AND supervising all these men is
the fight master, corresponding to
the captain on an ocean liner. He
is an administrator, pilot, engineer,
navigator, radio operator and sea-
man rolled into one. In the entire
Pan-American organization there
are only IL masters.
Luxury Over the Waves.
Down in the passenger deck mod
ern voyagers enjoy all the COM
forts of home, and more Except
for slight vibration and the muf-
fled hum of four powerful engines,
there is no perceptible sign of flight.
Eight rooms are at the public's dis
posal; one of them seats more than
dozen persons comfortably and
the others, though somewhat small
er, have big seats against the wall.
Thus far it looks like they'll have
to omit only one gadget; nobody
can figure out where to put the
swimming pool!

Rich in Vifunin B

The different cereal grains are
quite similar in their vitamin val
ues, but as the vitamins are very
unevenly distributed throughout
the kernel, there is a wide varia-
ton in vitamin content between
the whole grain and refined cereal
foods.
All seeds, including whole
grains, are relatively poor in vita
min A. They are entirely lacking
in vitamins c and D and contain
only small amounts of vitamin G..
Both the germ and bran, how
ever, are excellent sources of vi
tamin B-which promotes appe-
tite, aids digestion and helps to
prevent a nervous disorder. The
importance of the germ as a food
