L. & U. R. R. On Utah County Farms With Extension Agents AVOID COLDS IN FLOCKS Dr. D. E. Madsen of the Utah State Agriculture college, advise that, "Early this fall when pullets are placed into the laying- houses and are being prepared for 'their first season of egg- production, there are certain changes which may have a vital bearing- upon the health of the bird, particularly with references refer-ences to cold ' Many pullets have been brooded out on open ranges during the summer sum-mer months and have become accustomed ac-customed to roosting in open shed-type shed-type colony shelters where drafts are unknown and ventilation is much more perfect. When the laying lay-ing pens are made up, pullets from several such colonies are placed in one group. They are congregated in a larger group, the quarters are warmer and the roosting space appears ap-pears unfamiliar and more crowded. Unless careful Judgement is used in ventilation of the house at this time the birds are subjected to changes which may predispose the flock to an attack of colds, says Dr. Madsen. When the birds first enter the laying lay-ing coops the greater danger is probably pro-bably from overheating. A few weeks later as the nights become colder, there is danger of cold drafts sweeping across the perches. The following has been received at the Extension office from the U. 8. Dept. of Agriculture: "Government research workers recommend no method of home can ning of non-acid vegetables and meats as being safe except the pressure pres-sure cooker method." Since a number of cases of food poisoning have been directly traceable trace-able to botulism, the bacteria caus ing it have been studied in order to find the temperature and conditions necessary for destroying them. They will not grow in salt solutions where the percentage of salt is higher than 9 per sent They are destroyed at boiling temperature if the solution is sufficiently acid. With non-acid vegetables and meats there is no assurance that they are killed at the temperature of boiling water unless the material is heated for as long as six hours. The heating time may be decreased very much if a higher temperature is used. This is the reason for the recommendation that meats and non-acid vegetables be canned under pressure. Special precaution pre-caution must be taken in those regions re-gions where previous outbreaks of botulism or upecial difficulties in canning have shown the soil to be heavily contaminated with these or other heat-misting bacteria. This article will be followed by further Instructions In safe canning by using us-ing Home Methods. Word has been received from the U. A. C. that the 21 county agents of Utah assisted farmers In making out applications for government feed loans through the office of Orand Forks, North Dakota, and for seed loans through the government office at Salt Lake City. There were about 4,000 feed loan made for approximately $475,000. There were 2,588 seed loans made for $268,505.17. County Agents also assisted Red Cross officials in the distribution of 27,368 tons of feed wheat. This emergency work occupied a large part of the agents' time from the end of October to the forepart of May. ' It is interesting to note that people peo-ple are moving back to the farm. The U. S. Department of Agricul ture estimates that 1,472,000 persons left farms for towns and cities in 1931, and that 1,679,000 persons moved farmward. The gain in number num-ber of persons living on farms was 648,000, For the year 1930 it was estimated that 1.766,000 persons moved from cities to farms and 1,-727,000 1,-727,000 persons moved from farms to cities these two movements almost al-most balancing each other. There was a Blight decrease in the number num-ber of persons going to farms in 1931, and a considerable decrease In the number going to cities." o CAUTION AGAINST TAX EVASION The "Coast Banker" of July cau tioned banks and the public against evasion of the new government taxes which are designed to furnish revenue to balance our national budget. In their final statements they said: "We have the bank check tax on our statue books,' and there It will stay for the next eighteen months, Every banker knows that the country coun-try needs every dollar It can manage to scrape together to meet its expenses ex-penses during that eighteen months. So why not help things along by loyally collecting the two cents on each check, and promptly turning it over to the infernal collector of eternal revenue, instead of staying awake nights figuring out how you can help your customers evade the tax law. You'll get no real thanks, no matter mat-ter which way you play the game, and your conscience will be a whole lot clearer if you'll do what you can to help Uncle Sam raise the money, regardless of whether you approve of the bank check tax or not" o The Lafayette Elm A great elm, which doubtless won the admiration of General Lafayette when he visited Kennebunk, Maine, In .Tune, 1825, still stands In Lafayette La-fayette park In the village.

How Melting Ice Would Affect Ocean's Levels If all the Ice In Greenland and Antarctic should melt, enongh water would be added to the oceans to raise tbelr levels 150 feet, according to Dr. W. J. Humphreys of the weather bureau. This, of course, would Include the world's largest and richest cities. How fast the mile-thick Ice packed down In the frozen North will melt cannot be foretold. Once melting starts. Doctor Humphreys says, It Is likely to go forward rapidly, unless un-less the equilibrium of the earth's crust Is restored by some unusual occurrence, such as a number of volcanic vol-canic eruptions, which would cause a heavy snowfall and thus protect the Ice from the sun's rays. Geologists do know, however, that there have been times when Greenland Green-land did not have much ice. Such times, Doctor Humphreys points out, may come again. About 1000 A. D. the Danes settled In parts of Greenland Green-land that later were glaciated and still later melted again. In the fourteen four-teen hundreds there was a marked advance In Ice in that area. Meteorologists know also that there has been a distinct retreat of Ice through the last 50 years. From the 12,000,000 square miles of Ice present at the time of the maximum maxi-mum of the last glaclatlon, the world's supply has diminished to 6,000,000 square miles, most of it In Antarctica, which is nearly as large as the United States, and Greenland, which is 13 times the size of Pennsylvania. Card Playing- Confined to Men In Olden Timet The lowly place held by ancient women Is Indicated by the fact that early forms of playing cards had no queen In them. Archeologlsts explain ex-plain this by pointing out that the face cards a thousand years ago represented rep-resented the court, and that women were not half as Important In court as the jester, or Joker, says a writer In the New York Times. For hundreds hun-dreds of years women were not considered con-sidered of sufficient Importance to be Included In the card games played by the men. For many centuries cen-turies cards were exclusively a man's game women were too busy with their household duties to play cards. Now, of the millions of bridge players in the United States, it Is estimated that more than half are women. Thus Is the history of the progress prog-ress of womanhood portrayed In playing cards. Playing cards have had many shapes and forms during the centuries. cen-turies. Not until comparatively recent re-cent times have the various denominations denom-inations of the cards been represented repre-sented on them by numbers. The values of the cards were represented represent-ed usually by trees or vines with two up to ten leaves, acorns or flowers. flow-ers. Instead of counting the spots, the players counted the leaves or flowers. General Pershing Sayst "We Are At War" The great American soldier who led the A.E F.
