was told when he arrived in Georgia
that the place had been given to
another man.
Learning about the misfortune
which had come to Whitney. a
Southern woman gave him shelter
on her plantation. She was Mrs.
Nathaniel Greene, widow Of a IA
nous American general.
In return for his food and lodg-
ing, Whitney performed odd jobs
on the plantation. Mrs. Greene
found that he was clever in re-
pairing machines.
One day some neighbors were
chatting with Mrs. Greene, and one
OF them said, "We could grow
lot of fine cotton and make money
on it if it were not so hard to take
out the seeds by hand labor"
Mr.. Whitney is clever about ma
Chimes" said Mrs. Greene. He
could make a machine to take the
seeds out!"
That remark started the young
New Englander to work. In less
than two weeks he built a machine
which was chiefly a cylinder with
metal teeth" 1t was turned with
a hand crank, and the teeth caught
hold of the cotton, pulling it.
through spaces which were too small
to allow seeds to pass.
A test showed that the machine
would work. but in a short time
it became clogged. To meet this
trouble, Whitney invented a brush
which would clean the teeth while
the machine was being run.
The machine was called a cotton
gin" The gin" part OF the name
was short for engine"
Planters were quick to put the
cotton gin to use In two years
| the cotton crop was more than
doubled. Within 10 years the CROP
had increased to 20 times its for
mer size.
AS years passed, changes were
made in the cotton gin. The main
idea was kept, but the machines
were made larger and were run by
steam power

summer garden standby, the petun-
ia, also belongs in this group. She
is accused of not being fragrant.
She does have the family odor, we
admit.
The nightshades (Solanum) are
herbs, vines, and even few trees.
In the vine group we have the
beautiful bittersweet, or climbing
nightShade. This is a naturalized
plant from Europe, and is found in
our Central and Eastern States. Few
who gather the vines in autumn
for their winter bouquet know that
it is close cousin to so many plants
that seem so very different.
The black nightshade is widely
distributed over the United States
and Europe. 1t is found in moist
thickets and fence rows. The rea-
son for these special places is be-
cause the birds, having enjoyed the
juicy jackets of the fruit, have
dropped them in these spots.

BLACK NIGHTSHADE
(SOI1nu1n ni0rnm)

Though the black nightshade
has a bad name, it belongs to a
very important family. Most likely,
its fruit Is not so bad as the ru-
mors report, and certainly Madam
Bundle Bee and the birds find
nothing to complain about after
visit to flower or fruit.
The nightshade family includes
some l,70O species of shrubs, vines
and herbs. There are many mem
bers of this family in the tropics.
All of them are best known for the
narcotic and poisonous compound
which is found in some of the spe-
cies-belladonna, deadly night
shade, tobacco and the jimpson
weed. Then there are the mem
bers rather we'll known and impor-
tant to us as food-the potato, to-

WASHINGTON, June 26
I -(UP)-T The congressional
revolt against the admins
tration's handling the do
mesic front mounted today
as the Senate voted to forbid SUBJ
sidy payments to reduce food prices.
o. The action came on the heels of
a major legislative upheaval when
both the Senate and the House
oyerrode the Presidents veto of the
Smith-Connally anti-strike bill yes
terday.
SPECIAL PAINS
In voting on the subsidy question:
senators took special pains to see
that any price cuts are not rolled
back on the farmer
The senate then voted, 10 to 13, to
transfer to War Food Administrator
Chester C. Davis complete control
over food prices and distribution.
Congressional observers believed
that its effect would be to set up
Davis as virtual food "czar"-a
proposal which President Roosevelt
has vigorously opposed.
Then, by voice vote, the senate
passed the bill containing these
provisions-a bill extending the life
of the Commodity Credit Corp. for
two years. The senate's bill is

The recommendation was made to
the Office of Price Administration,
Rudolph Miller, war board secretary
said, explaining that ration stamps
were issued for $4,000 more pounds
of meat than the quota allowed.
ALL RECOMMENDATIONS
Following are the complete recon-
mendations for the new quarter:
Beef, 649,500 pounds; veal, co.
$50 pounds; lamb and mutton, 1884,
$50 pounds; pork, 299,225 pounds.
Miller said the main shortage
was in beef and that allotments in
other types of meat had proved
adequate.
Because of the beef shortage in
the quarter just ending. Miller said
butchers would probably have little
or no beef for sale until Thursday
when they will begin selling under
the new quarter. Slaughtering will
begin Wednesday and the meat will
be on sale to the public Thursday.
The war board secretary said beef
was the only scarce meat in the val
ley and he expressed belief gen.
eral meat shortage at the end of
each quarter could be eliminated if
valley residents consume more pork,
lamb and mutton.

On Use of Equipment
WASHINGTON, June &c

WASHINGTON, June 26
= (UP) Attorney General
Francis Biddle announced
that a federal grand jury at
Indianapolis today indicted
six persons, including an army
lieutenant colonel. alleging con-
spiracy to defraud the government
in the rental of equipment for the
Hoosier ordnance plant, Charles
town, Ind
Those indicted, the justice depart
ment said, were Lieut. Col WAYNE
0. Hauck, assistant constructing
ouartermaster at the Hoosier plant
Charles N. Hikes, civilian war de-
partment employe and the plants
principal inspector of equipment;
Ashby Corum. general contractor
Madisonville. KY. Arthur Corum

firm of Corum Brothers: Kyle
Corum, son of Arthur Corum; and
Roy L. Gorrell, partner in the con-
tracing firm of F. C. Gorrell &
S0IlS, RuSSellVllle, NY.
ON RENTAL EQUIPMENT
The department said the indict-
ment charged conspiracy in the
rental of construction equipment
such as trucks, tractors and motor
cranes.
The prime contractor at the plant
was authorized to rent from third
parties any necessary construction
equipment. The contract provided,
however, the justice department
said, that when the rental paid for
any piece of equipment equalled its
value plus one per cent per month
for each month used, title to the
equipment was vested automatically
in the government and no further
rentals should be paid.
The indictment charges that the
defendants induced the prime con-
tractor to rent equipment from the
Corum Brothers under contract
which provided that only 20 per
cent of the rentals, instead of the
total rentals, applied against valua-
ton of the equipment.
