Salvage eMarne Forest,

More than IL million feet of lum.
ber. literally sprinkled with metal
and an undetermined number of un-
exploded artillery shells will be
salvaged by a metal detector at Ft.
Lewis military reservation, Wash,
known as the 'Marne Forest"
Where the unexploded shells in the
timber came from is not known.
"Marne Forest" according to war
department officials, never had been
subjected to ground artillery fire.
The direction of the proiectiles
found in the logs indicated they
were fred from aircraft an esti-
mated 10 to IL years ago. Because
much of the timber has been felled
and was in danger of being made
worthless by insects and rot, the u.
S. corps of engineers tested various
types of metal detectors and had
General Electric devise an elec-
tronic device to detect the unex-
ploded shells.

Sugar Reefs for Feed

The green weight of beet tops
usually ranges from one-half to two
thirds of the weight of beets pro.
duced, and the tops from an acre of
beets generally are considered to
have feeding value equivalent to
zone ton of the best alfalfa hay. The
small section of the crown of the
beet to which the leaves are at
tached, and which is removed in
topping, contains chemical elements
useful to beast and soil. Colorado
Agricultural college has noted that
although beet tops commonly are
priced at so cents per ton of beets
produced, feeding tests indicate
that they are worth about twice that
much when fed in properly balanced
rations."

A Rose Is a Rose

The rose, monarch of flowers in
the beginning of history, is still the
universal favorite, Grace Douglas
Kunkle, Los Angeles, told the dele
gates to the Telegraph Delivery
service convention. Not since Isaiah
proclaimed that 'the desert shall
rejoice and blossom as the rose"
has the rose lost its supremacy.
Each variety and color Of rose tra-
ditionally transmits a message,
from the sender to the recipient,
some of which are as follows: Red
rose, 'T love you; white rose, pu-
rity or innocence; tea rose, remem-
brance; yellow, jealousy; pink,
"You are beautiful" and dark
crimson, mourning. The woman
who received orchids, whether she
be friend, sweetheart or mother,
may assume she has been paid the
compliment, beautiful lady"

Americas Last Frontier

Stretching westward from the
14lst meridian and south from Point
Barrow is the territory of Alaska,
Americas last frontier. Here is an
area of 586, 900 square miles, rich in
the lore Of adventurous peoples and
of great potential wealth in the
form of natural resources. It is
the homeland of men and women
who went north with the great gold
rushes; the locale of rich fur-trad-
ing empire built by Aleksandr An
drevich Baranov to bring millions
to the Cars Of Russia. Here, too,
are rich gold deposits, vast forest
areas on the southeastern coast,
natural oil deposits and fishing
grounds which support major in
dustry; the salmon pack alone is
worth up to so million dollars an
nually. Only $4,000 persons, half of
them natives inhabit its great
expanse of land. Except for air
travel, most communities are vir-
tually isolated.

Soil Tests Required
For Good LeguFfe CTop

Scarce. high-priced legune seed
can be made to do double duty" if
farmers take every precaution to
insure vigorous, healthy stand.
Such precautions should include a
soil test to tell the seedlings needs
for lime and plant food, a good,
Arm, well-worked seed bed, leg-
umes best adapted to the soil and
crop rotation and careful placement
of seed.
Legumes respond proftably to
soil treatments when tests show
what plant food nutrients are need
ed, according to Michigan State col
lege. County agents or agronomists
at state agricultural colleges will
give directions for taking soil sam
Piles and make the tests for any
farmer.
A sweet soil is one of the ''musts"
for legumes. Lining is vital when
tests indicate very acid soil. How
ever, it takes lime several months
to establish areas of sweet soil.
Lime should therefore be put on at
least six months ahead of legume
seedlings.
Legumes are essential in promot-
ing soil fertility, points out Middle
West Soil Improvement committee.
Grown in the rotation, well-fed,
deep-rooted legumes add to the
soils organic matter supply, rebuild
soil structure and tilth and carry
needed nutrients to soil areas IL to
i8 inches below the pillow level.

Electric Fences Termed
Possible Death Traps

An electric fence is an excellent
labor and expense saving conven-
ience on farm, and is as safe as
any other electrical appliance, pro-
vided accepted controllers are used.
Many farmers fail to realize that
the ground is a conductor and that
the voltage on the fence should be
reduced until it is safe for both
humans and animals. 1t should be
reduced to where the shock is just
sting, instead of an electrical
hazard.
A healthy man, when in contact
with the ground can be killed by ITO
volts, and even a lower voltage will
kill an animal
If an electric fence is in operation
without a controller to cut down the
current to safe amount for both
humans and animals, it should be
disconnected. If plans are made to
install an electric fence in the flu
ture, be sure to use an accepted or
approved controller with it, is the
advice of North Carolina State col
lege. Farm experts point out that
two tragedies recently occurred in
that state, despite warnings that
such fences can be actual death
traps.

Milk to Save Teeth

Indications are that milk contains
a dietary factor which helps prevent
dental decay, according to work
conducted at University Of Wiscon-
sin. 1t has been discovered that
few cavities developed even when
mineralized milk was supplemented
with as much as 10 per cent sugar,
so as to provide nearly so per cent
of the dry matter in the form Of
fermentable sugar. That milk has
a protective action was further in
dicated when cotton rats were
placed on a diet consisting of equal
parts of milk and a decay-promo-
ton synthetic diet. This combina-
ton reduced the number of cavities
by 66 per cent, compared with the
synthetic ration alone. Although
these results suggest that milk con.
tains a specific anti-caries factor,
such a factor has not yet been iden-
tilted.

Brittany Home of GUERNSEY

A breed not yet extinct in Brit
fany, France, known as Froment du
Leon, is credited as the No. ances-
tor of the Guernsey COW, according
to research by monks of Les Vaux-
belets Agricultural college. An early
description of this breed reveals
that they were smaller cattle al
though possessing the same mark
ings as the Guernsey and were ac-
tive, gaudy, with bright eyes and
quiet at milking. They produced a
good flow of rich yellow milk from
which fine butter could be made"
The second ancestor from which the
Guernsey has been formed, accord
ing to this account, is the Norman
Brindle, originating in the district of
Isigny, France. The Norman cows,
"a very heavy breed, produce a
large supply of rich milk" some
cows producing even at that time go
to 10 pounds daily.

Vast Natural Resources
Enable Brazil to Expand

The vast southern republic of
Brazil, which proclaimed its free
dom from Portugal, September Z.
1922, roughly equals the United
States plus Alaska in size. The Bra
lillian coast extends twice the dis
tance from Portland, Me. to Key
West, Fla.
Having. celebrated its Independ-
ence Day recently, Brazil has at
tracted world wide attention be-
cause of its available natural re-
sources.
Riches comparable to its size lie
above and below Brazils surface.
About half the worlds coffee is
grown there. Corn, cotton and cocoa
are increasing in value. Rubber is a
great natural product. Foresters cut
mahogany, rosewood and ebony.
Large numbers of cattle and hogs
roam ranchlands. Brazil is the chief
source of carnauba wax, used for
electric insulation and phonograph
records.
Only in Brazil, too, is high-grade
quartz crystal found in commercial
quantities. Extensive but compara-
lively undeveloped iron ore deposits
supply an infant steel industry. In
dustrial diamonds, chrome, mica
and manganese enter world mar
kets.
Transportation problems have
complicated exploitation of Brazil s
natural resources. Mountains front

panding. The bulk of Brazips As mil

Before and After Report

What electricity can do to help
the farm wife is demonstrated by
the results obtained during a l3-
week laundry study conducted in a
Connecticut farm home. Before the
installation of water pressure sys-
tenn and an electric washing ma
chine, this farm wife required 81
hours to wash 1,509 pounds of
clothes. She pumped and carried
ATS tons of water for this task.
After electrical equipment had been
installed the farm wife reduced her
laundry time to 1925 hours in wash
ing the same amount of clothing.
Water was provided automatically,
thus saving her considerable
energy.
