Jack Frost

AS the chill winds of autumn
come farmers and gardeners watch
crops and plants with anxiety.
Many flowers that had been the
glory of the gardens hang their
dropping heads after Jack has de-
livered his stealthy blow. Many a
farmer has seen his promising
crop wither and decay, as the re-
suit of premature frost.
Agriculture science deals with
saucy Jack, who is now abroad
with his niDpers. There are var
ious plans for warding him off,
such as gauzy wells spread over en-.
dangered plants, or bonfires that
produce thick smoke clouds and
hinder the frosty descent.
The farmer and gardener has to
be a student of nature. The wea-
Their bureau and newspaper and

The farmer can't spare a few min
utes to get this information. he

Immoral Glands

A few medical specialists are of
the opinion that moral defects
and personal Embellishments can
be Corrected through treatment of
the endocrine glands. Favorable
results are reported in a number
of cases.
However, if the time ever comes
when misconduct can thus be rem
edied by the surgeons knife, the
old world should undergo quite an
Improvement. Adolph Hitler and
other enemies of mankind might
be speedily transformed into lead
ing opponents Of civilized behav-
iOr.

The Cotton Problem

1t is not as widely recognized
as it should be that the plight of
the cotton farmer is not a prob
lem for the South alone. 1t affects
the people of every section of the
country in some degree and it is
to the interest of all to cooperate
in its solution.
One practical way in which the
whole nation may give this COOP
Grafton is bv using more cotton
goods especially wearing ap-
parel. This could be done ct an
actual saving and with little. if any
sacrifice in style or comfort. fer
in recent years the development
Of new and beautiful cotton fab
RIGS has been amazing.
The low price of cotton has re-
duced the amount of goods and
products the South can buy from
the North and East. 1t is forcing
the cotton farmer to turn more
and more to the raising of crops
which compete with those of other
sections, especially the great agri-
cultural Middle West. This ap-
plies to both field crops and live
stock.
Therefore, in their own interest
the people of other regions should
aid the program Of the National
Cotton Council. which is designed
to increase the consumption of cot
ton products, to find new uses for
cotton through scientific research
and to expand foreign markets for /
American cotton.

Seeing Small Things

While astronomers turn their
telescopes to the exploration of
big things of the universe-plan-
cts, suns, galaxies, comets-other
scientists working with amazing
modern microscopes are studying
the little things, magnified up to
5000 times.
So far as the progress and well
fare of mankind is concerned, the
microscope is one of the most i'm
portant instruments ever devised
for by its use the study of the
human body, to mention only one
phase of its usefulness, has been
the means of saving countless
thousands of lives.
In the examination of materials
used in industry. it is now consid-
cred indispensable, and some of
the finest microscopes are install
ed in laboratories of great manu-
featuring plants. One microscope
in the Bell laboratories. for ex-
ample, took five years to build and
cost $4,000
The rapid advance made lately
in the development of high-power
ed microscopes may be illustrated
by the fact that Is years ago the
bost laboratory continent magni-
fed nnlv I'm to about 1900 times,
while identification of 1000 times
is now common, and that of 5000
times is possible under particular
~ favorable conditions. according
