Delaware High Among
States In Herd Records

The Dairy Herd Improvement As
sOciation supervisors in Delaware
have reported more 305 day lacta-
tion records Of cows in the associa-
tons than in any previous year.
( Delaware now ranks. among the top
i've States in percentage Of lacta-
tiOns reported by the supervisors of
all States.
Pennsylvania herd improvers
have led in number of records re-
ported, with Wisconsin associations
second and New York third. Com
pared with the number Of cows on
test in each State,s however, West
Virginia leads. The total number of
West Virginia records was equal to
about a third Of the West Virginia
cows on test. Kansas was second,
and Maine a close third.
These records supply the basis
for proving bulls used in dairy herd
improvement associations. The Bur-
eau Of Dairy Industry, which tabu-
lates these records and furnishes
associations within each State with
the proved sire records, is now prov
ing dairy bulls at the rate of about
100 each week.
These. proved sire records make it
easier TO pick bulls that can lift
production even in high production

SWede Finds New Wool
Washing Method

STOCKHOLM - pa demon
stratOr at the Swedish Textile Re-
search Institute at GOeteborg, civil
engineer Joel LindbOrg, has invent
ed new method to wash raw wool.
which is claimed to be far better
than the older methods.
Hitherto the washing has been a
damaging process. The wool felt
ed easily in the strong lye and that
made the following carding difficult
and hard on the fibres. After wash
ing with the new method the card
ing machines can work 3O-4O per
cent faster than before and with
better results. The fibres can be
kept 20 to 25 per cent greater in
length.
Another gain by the new method
is that it makes it easier to extract
valuable materials from the I've.
Every ton of raw wool gives now
100 Kilograms or more of high
quality lanOlin whic his used for
cosmetics and pharmaceutical
preparations.
But the raw wool is not only fat,
it is also salty from the sweat of
the sheep, and from this saltiness
can be extracted potash. Sweden
imports both potash and lanOlin.
The new wash method will make
the whole import of lanOlin unnec-
essary as long as the import of raw
wool is as large as now.

Pegler Says It's Opinion OF ALI NJ Landon That
U S. Began To Decline When Two Pair Respect Lost

A fellow who has yearned to
hold a royal flush finds himself
conjuring the dream-hand with a
king and queen of hearts, two
deuces and a one-eyed jack of
spades, which are wild. He wins
S1440 with a final reckless toss
of four blues, value one 60-cent
Truman dollar, driving out a
dogged office-boy with a full
house composed of two treys, two
fvours and the other one-eyed
jack. The actual value of the
winning hand is the lowest pair
known to society. In normal
times, however. deuces have con-
quered a four-flush. l have heard
that Jesse Jones won a ranch or
Bank one night on deuces
against nine, ten, jack and queen
assorted, with a five in the hole.
In all such cases, there is
false belief that a four-card draw
stimulates the betting. No fall
lacy could be more disgraceful
to men of character. Within the
combinations of five-card poker,
draw, or stud, the riches of the

earth may be CANDLES, even as
on the toss of nickel.
Mr.. Landon is right. There is
corruption of the American
soul. 1t is expressed in Seven
Toed Pete. 1t is seen in the
practice now of teeing on the
fairway and in the adoption of
the bigger cup in Golf; in the
growth of Soft-Ball and Touch
Football, the substitution of the
Rabbit Ball in the Major
Leagues and, finally, in trial
marriage with the Reno reserva-
ton in the vows.
In the age of oak and iron, a
man might join the Cavalry or
run away to sea or the Klon-
dixie. But, as far as the law was
concerned, when he married a
vision with a ratler's eye and
gila's breath he was stuck till
