O. Can prison bars be sawed through with a hack saw?
 A. The National Bureau of Stand ards has made saving and drilling tests of numerous SampreS of tool resisting prison bar steel submitted by the U. s. Bureau of Prisons as representative of bars purchased for use in Federal prisons. The require ment for acceptable bars is that they shall not be served by six hand hack saw blades nor perforated by six twist drills, used consecutively by a skilled operator. Bars made by a number of manufacturers regularly meet these requirements. Prison bars that have been sawed through by prison inmates were not the tool resisting type.
 o. What is the longest stretch of straight railroad track in the United States?
 A. Between Wilmington and Ham, let in North Carolina the Seaboard Railway has a straight track 1866 miles long.

Cigar Orchid
(Cyrtopodium punctatl1m)

your own property if you can offer
the plants acceptable environment.
The cypress swamps Of Florida
are enchanting places filled with a
vast variety of growths, and in the
Big Cypress Swamp you may find
the cigar orchid, a parasitic plant
that establishes itself on the bark
of tree, either on the trunk or one
Of the wide branches.
This orchid is a tropical plant
and is found in the more southern
counties of the State. 1t is husky
orchid. as you can well see. At the
trunk surface where it grows you can
see the great mass of roots. AS
these plants live for many years,
they finally develop each season
many flower stalks. You may cut
away part of the plant from the
tree, taking with the section a
flower stalk and transplanting it to
your own garden. The plant does
not need special food, deriving its
sustenance from the air about it,
Evening star., 1940-04-05


quent the moisture it also needs is
provided without any effort on your
part. You respect this independent
plant more and more as you watch
its growth.
The cigar orchid is so named be-
cause it develops elongated pseudo
bulbs resembling cigars. Sometimes
plant will have a great many
cigars on it. Again a small plant
will have a few leaves and six or
more cigars, or, to be more accurate,
pseudo bulbs and of a size that
seem too large for so young plant.
Some of the flower stalks are
very long, 2, 3 and even feet be-
ing not uncommon. The flower
stalk is covered with greenish flow-
ers, well dotted over with purplish-
brown. Many Of them are over an
inch wide The bracts are some
what wavy. There are but a few
leaves, all slender and from l to 2
feet long. To see one Of these
plants in bloom is rare experience.
as the cigar orchid is not COM
mon. However, this tropical orchid
appeals to so many who are inter-
ested in orchids that during the
winter they are often sought in the
cypress swamps. A small section
may be cut off and brought back to
the Southern Florida home yard to
be studied, with the result that
today this orchid is becoming well
known among student botanists
spending their winters in Southern
Florida.

in them; the middle-aged look wide
eyed and enhancing.
Coats, too, look more feminine this
Spring. You'll see lots of expensive
dressmaker details, trapunto work
and pleats. Pockets are especially
important on coats, for they are not
only decorative, but extremely practi-
cal. The backs of coats have been
made interesting with pleats, flares,
and buttons.
"These frankly feminine fashions
are the most exciting styles I've seen
in ages" says Mrs. johnson. "They're
becoming to all types short or
tall, thin or plump! It isn't neces-
sary this year to look mannish or
'streamlined' or little girlish' or any
of the other things we aren't. We
can look as W should womanly
and feminin."

Harness Cleaning

Harness Is often damaged in win
ter by acid bearing moisture in
closed barns. The dampness rusts
buckles and hardware, and the mois-
ture weakens the leather. Rats and
mice are not so likely to chew a
well-oiled harness. Any good meats
foot oil compound will seal the
pores in the harness and protect it
against acid and dampness, while
the oil also protects the metal parts
against rust. Before oiling, har-
ness should be taken apart and
cleaned and weak parts replaced.
After oiling, the harness should be
dried in a warm room.

Separator Losses

How many dollars worth Of but
terfat are you losing each year in
the skimmilk from your separator?
A sample taken to your local cream
cry or cream station can be tested.
The COW tester is glad to render
this service also. If operating eff
GENTLY, the average farm separator
should not leave over 0.05 per cent
butterfat in the skimmilk. Better let
your dealer do your separator adj
justing. Some chaps protesting to
fix any bowl may leave your ma
chine in such shape that as much as
one-tenth of your butterfat will be
lost.

Erosion removes more than 20
times as much plant food as is con-
sumed by crops.
Center punch all holes to be drilled

the drill from creeping.
One way to be sure that the brine

adding salt until the solution will

Many farms have trees planted to
serve as windbreaks in winter and
to supply shade in summer. A good
windbreak needs at least three rows
of trees.

about half a pound of oats daily, a

Will Postore Fertili

Wlll Restore Fertility
A well-rounded Diet of plant foods
for undcrnourishcd soils, rather than
dependence on single "cure-all"
for restoring fertility, was urged by
the Middle West Soil Improvement
committee in a recent statement.
MANY farmers believe that al
falfa, clover, soybeans and other
legumes are the one and only pre-
scription for building healthy soil, -"
the statement points out.
"The value of legumes in crop TO-
tation should not be underestimated
But by themselves they are not a
panacea for soil ills. To be effec-
tive, they must be accompanied by
adequate amounts of phosphorus
and potash"
The benefits from legumes lie in
their ability to deposit nitrogen in
TIE soil. But if farmers continually
increase the nitrogen and neglect
the phosphorus and potash require
ments, they will have a soil top
heavy in one form of plant food and
woefully lacking in the others.
The results of over-emphasis on
one type of plant food at the ex-
pense of others is evident in grain
crops which follow nitrogen-build-
ing crops. Lodging, over-develop-
