Tool of the Early Miners

The most important tool of the
early miners was the hammerstone
or maui. These mauls usually egg
shaped boulders, vary in weight ur
to over 40 pounds. Nearly all the
mauls had a groove, undoubtedly
meant for attachment or handles by
means of thongs or crotches.

Diamond Backed Turtle
Saved by u. S. Fisheries

Diamond-backed terrapins, head.
ed for total extinction a few years
ago, apparently have been saved
as species through the efforts Of
the U. S. bureau of fisheries, &C.
cording to the Washington Evening
Star.
In the gay nineties this reptile
was a symbol of sinfully extrava.
CANT living. Such high prices were
paid that all the sounds, estuaries
and swamps along the south At.
lantic coast were secured for the
creatures. BY the turn of the cen.
fury they were fabulous1y scarce.
The demand dropped off with
prohibition. This probably saved
the terrapin, since it gave a breath.
ing spell and an opportunity for
the government biologists to get the
race on secure footing again. UP
to date more than 125,OOO young
have been shipped from the bureau
of fisheries station at Beaufort, S.
c., for restocking the salt marshes
of the southern states. The brood
stock Of the station, most of which
was born in captivity during the
past is years, consists Of $40 males
and more than 1000 females.
New methods Of incubation de-
vised by DR.. H. F. Prytherch prom
Use a considerably larger produc-
ton in the future.

Early French Colonists
Cut Crops to Peg Prices

NEW YORK.-Tobacco plants
were pulled up in 1889 by order Of
the governor-general Of the French
colony Saint Christopher in the Lee
ward islands to prevent disastrous
fall In prices, research by DR..
Charles Woolsey Cole, George D.
Olds, professor Of economics In
Amherst college, discloses.
Parallels between the New Deal
and Seventeenth century economic
nationalism are cited by Professor
Cole in 1,090-page study OF "Col-
bert and Century Of French Mer-
cantilism" issued by the Columbia
University Press.
production of tobacco increased
so rapidly In the French settlements
that 1t was continually threatening
to outrun the demand" Professor
Cole says. "First the company Of
Saint Christopher tried to limit
the production to 900 pounds per
planter, and to prevent planting ev-
cry other year. Then the governor
general in 1888 sought to control the
output.
''In 1889 he made an agreement
with the governor Of the English set
Element on Saint Christopher that
no tobacco should be planted for
IS months. He issued an order on
May 26, 1889, forbidding the plant
ing Of tobacco for the period agreed
on and insisting that all tobacco al
ready planted should be pulled up.
To prevent the settlements from be-
coming one-crop colonies, the COM
pany sought to introduce the grow
ing Of cotton, sugar and indigo.
when, In 1871, there seemed dam
ger Of an oversupply Of sugar in
the French West Indies, Colbert,
chief minister of Louis XIV, urged
the increased production of indigo,
cotton, ginger, and pepper, that the
prosperity of the islands might rest
on more diversified base. In 1878
he again urged the diversification of
crops and suggested that silk cul-
ture might profitably be introduced
into the islands.

Searchers May Clear
Mystery of the Criffon

The question of Robert Cavelier
de la Sales famous ship, the Grit
fon, which mysteriously disappeared
somewhere in the vicinity Of the
Straits of Mackinac in Ontario dur
ing September, 1879, may be cleared
soon.
Roy F. Fleming, Ottawa historian
and authority on LaSalle's explora-
tons, has asked the Dominion gov
eminent to raise the wreck, which
lies half-submerged at Mississagi
straits in Lake Huron, at the west
ern end Of Manitoulin island. The
wreck has been examined by numer-
Gus historical groups and the identity
Of the ship has been under dispute.
Samples Of the oaken timbers
have been sent to the anthropology
department Of the University of Chi
cago, in an endeavor to determine
If possible whether the timbers
might have come from the Niagara
peninsula where the Chiffon was
built in 1878. A bolt and nut from
the sunken vessel were sent to the
national laboratories OF the depart
ment Of arts and trades in Paris,
and the French authorities reported
that they were made in France pri-
or to the Eighteenth century.
Sieur de La Salle-his name would
be "Hall" in English-was the first
French explorer to penetrate to the
Mississippi river. He loaded the
Chiffon with furs on the shore Of
Green Bay, and despatched the ves-
sci and crew to Niagara, but did
not accompany it himself. The Grit
fon was lost with all hands, and the
story goes that she sank in a gale
which prevailed over the Straits of
Mackinac region about that time.
There are other stories that the
crew mutinied and attempted to
beach the vessel at some point east
Of the Straits.

Italian Milk Production

Italy's production increase from 10
to IS tons of artificial wool a day
from cows milk has brought about
paradoxical changes in her dairy
life. The great Snia-Viscoca works,
Italy's largest textile group, reports
that 100000 quarts Of milk are used
daily for the artificial production Of
wool. This gradual consumption has
increased the number Of cows in
Italy tremendously. The production
Of butter has jumped up while the
butter import has dropped off 80
per cent, the meat supply from cows
has increased 46 per cent and the
supply of whey, food for pigs, by
product in the production Of casein
for artificial wool Is now sufficient
for virtually all Of Italy's piggy"
demand. Indeed, midas sacred
cow is about to have a runner-up
in world fame from Italy's dairy
heroines.

AIl-American Roofing

The asphalt single is the only
all-American roofing material. It is
not only used on three out of every
five houses, but it is the only popu-
lar type roofing to be originated and
developed in this country. The first
mineral surfaced asphalt single
was made by H. M. Reynolds, Of
Grand Rapids, Mich, in 1902. The
single was an immediate success,
but it was not until the war that 1t
received its first great acceptance.
Since that time its use has in
creased steadily, spurred by an in
creasing demand for fire-resistant
roofing, and by a growing popular
preference for more colorful roofs.

MARYLAND FARMERS PLANTING
FALL WHEAT

The number of acres OF wheat
that will be planted in Maryland
within the next few days will be
governed by the action of q war
driven market. Henry Wallace, Sec
rotary of Agriculture, points out
that the Government quotas should
be adhered to because the abundant
surpluses do not justify great
permanent rise in price. He warns
against expansion of acreages be-
yond world needs that can only re-
suit in still greater SURPRISES and
still lower prices.
Whether they abide by the quota
or not, wheat growers are on a
sharp lookout for the best means
of getting the largest yields for the
lowest cost on every acre planted.
A survey released by the National
Fertilizer Association indicates that
fertilizer will play an important
role in next years yields. A poll of
$4,000 farmers throughout 35 states
shows that last year more fertilizer
was used on wheat than when prices
were double what they are now, and
that for each ton of fertilizer used
Maryland farmers produced 70 extra
bushels of wheat.
The average application of ferti-
lizer on the wheat crop in the State
was 304 pounds per acre. Maryland
farmers reported an average gain
of IL bushels per acre on fertilized
wheat over unfertilized wheat.
