several degrees. Perhaps a storm
will come with it, but even that
change may be welcome. Something
about hot. moist days keeps US from

II our earth did not turn on its

about winds. Winds would blow
north and south, but there would
be few, If any. moving east or west.
People living north of the Equator
would feel warm winds from the
south. In Australia. South Africa,
Chile and Argentina, hot winds
would sweep down from the north.
Perhaps, in that case, there would

The sun heats the torrid zone far

Thanks to gravity, the air around
the earth Is held down fairly well
when the earth turns on its axis.
Otherwise, there would be winds
blowing from 500 to 1000 miles

The force Of gravity does not,
however, completely control the air.
Winds which move northward from
the Equator do not altogether match
the eastward motion of the ground
As 4 result, many of the east-west

MOSS PEAT.

To be correct, We should say moss

much about this product, We should
call 1t by the name the scientists use.
In the United States We have areas
Of peat land estimated to cover
100000, 900 acres, which naturally
are Of potential economic impor-
tance to agriculture and industry.
Moss peat consists mostly of poorly
decomposed stems and leaves de-
rived from several species OF Sphag-
mum moses. Within the last 20
years a quantity of moss peat from
Europe has appeared on our markets
and awakened us to realization Of
the wealth We have within our own

as whole it is quite free from woody
material Of shrubs and trees, extra
neous mineral matter and other I'm
purities.
During the last few years the i'm
ports Of moss have been increasing
mostly because OF the uniformly high
quality of the imported article;
recently large shipments OF lower
grade, moist peat have appeared
on our markets.
High Absorption capacity OF q good
quality Of air-dried moss peat Is
shown by the fact that 1t will hold
from Is to 30 per cent Of its own
weight Of water. It is strongly acid.
Moss peat used in this country is
employed principally as an absorb
ing and deodoridng agent and for
ameliorating the physical condition
Of mineral soils. 1t is easily handled,
provides 4 loose, clean, sanitary bed
ding for horses, cattle and live stock
and undergoes decay slowly. This
bedding can be used directly on the
soil, furnishing organic matter and
decreasing losses in available nitro
gen. It prevents odors and checks
insect pests in dairy farms, stables
for race and riding horses, sheds for
poultry and fur-bearing animals.
Moss peat Is not 4 fertilizer, but
its value lies In its compost impor-
tance, as . conditioner or filler for
concentrated mineral fertilizers and
as an absorbent in places where
sewer systems have not been con-
structed.
Finely shredded. this moss serves
many horticultural purposes, as it is
used as a medium for terminating
seeds, to start cuttings, transplant
and grow evergreens and heaths and
to propagate rare orchids. AS a
mulch 1t protects plants and soil
against freezing and thawing ex-
periences and 1t keeps down weeds.
OF the 1000 ,00o, 900 acres Of peat
resources in America only 4 small
proportion is likely to contain moss
peat. At present We do not know
how much we possess for commercial
development. Since We have been
importing something like $4,000, 900
worth annually and the demand Is
growing rapidly We will soon learn
when and where TO tap another
source Of wealth.
