Ills career, however, Is full of interest, without any reference to that of his father. "Roosevelts tackling a hard fight," said his supporters at the time of his nomination, but thats quite in keeping with the Roosevelt tradition. If he wins, he becomes at once a national factor In politics. Even If he loses, he deserves the thanks of his party and will have the approval of his own conscience." Roosevelt was born at Oyster Bay In 1887 ; was graduated from Harvard In 1908 and was married In 1910. He was In business till 1919 when he was elected to the New York assembly. In 1921 he was made assistant secretary of the navy. When the war began he went to riattsburg. When he sailed for France he was a major; when he returned he was a lieutenant colonel. Much lay between. Late In June, 1918, he was cited for gallantry for keeping his men In the trenches of a difficult sector, standing with them against a rain of shells, lie was gassed and for several weeks was incapacitated. He was hardly back wl(h his battalion when he was wounded again, this time In a successful attack to the southwest of Solssons, in which Flolsy was captured. Colonel Green and His Movie Machine the Experiments demonstrating practicability of broadcasting motion pictures by wireless have- been disclosed by Col. E. II. II. Green of South Dartmouth, Mass. President Samuel W. Stratton of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology attended a test at which a motion picture was transmitted CO feet by wireless. He was so Impressed that he detailed two experts from the institute staff to assist Colonel Green in the perfection of the Marshall said Colonel invention. Green had established the practicability of the device for sending short distances and was confident' that in another year he would Jiave a set suitof able for general broadcasting - movies. Thus another of the famous ican fortunes is in process of dissipation by its heirs. The great heap of money piled up by the late Hetty Green during a lifetime devoted all but exclusively to the task of accumulating wealth has been attacked, almost on a steam shovel scale, by her son, Edward Howland Robinson Green, who during the past few years is reputed to have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on what began as a hobby and has become a vocation the development of the possibilities of radio. Amer- Michelsons Experiments With Light Frof. A. A. Mlchelson of the University of Chicago, one of the worlds most eminent scientists, has announced results of experimentation with the velocity of light conducted by him last summer at Mt Wilson observatory In California. The outcome, he said, was very promising." The problem was to reduce uncertainty as to the number of miles light travels in one second of time. Doctor Miehelson explained that thus far the average speed given by various methods of measurement was 180,800 miles a second, the uncertainty being a matter of 20 or 30 miles, and the goal a reduction of this uncertainty to one mile, lie says the velocity of light is one of the most fundamental of the constants of nature, and this alone would justify the attempt to measure it with the highest possible precision. Two weeks will be needed by Professors Mlchelson and Henry G. Gale to test the Einstein theory of relativity hv means of their elaborate paratus which Is nearing completion at Clearing, 111, ap- Martians Much Happier Than Earthians Camille Flammarion (portrait herewith), the famous French astronomer, has no ddubt that Mars fs Inhabited. And hes written six books on Mars. He said, the other day: On Mars, in August, can they know In advance for certain what the weather here will be tomorrow, or next week, or next month? Certainly not. The approach of Mars isnt responsible for our bad weather. Then he became serious and added : "Its true no great oceans like ours exist In Mars. Theirs are small seas like the Mediterranean and. many of tbem are spotted with dark green, jio doubt because of vegetation and marshes, similar to those of the famous Sargasso, where descendants of Columbus lost themselves. ' As for continents, they are golden and their color changes like flames. Martians are much happln than we are and much more Intelligent. "Yes, they are superior to us for they would never commit the folly of war. I cannot say when we will be able to communicate with Mars. Hungry Rodents Liable to Do Injury Any Time After November 1. United State Department (Prepared by the of Agriculture.) will orchardist The make preparations to guard against possible injury to his trees by hungry field mice which gnaw the trunks and roots. Such injury is liable to occur at any time after November 1, most of It Is usually inflicted In midwinter or very early In spring under cover of heavy snow and when the more favored food supply Is running low, according to the biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture. Menace Made Greater. That serious injury to orchard trees by mice occurs only at irregular Intervals makes the menace the greater, for it usually catches the orchardist unprepared and wholly unaware of the damage being done until the melting snow In spring uncovers girdled trunks, or the wilting trees In midsummer betray the hidden work of the mice on the roots. Preventive measures cost little In comparison with the protection afforded, and although frequently a girdled tree may be saved by timely bridge grafting, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Many progressive fruit growers realize this truth and each fall and several times during the winter examine their orchards carefully for mouse signs. If mice are present they prepare to destroy them or take steps to prevent their attacks upon trees. Method of Prevention. Methods of preventing mouse Injury vary according to the species of mouse and the cultural practices followed. In much of the eastern United States pine mice are present, and their injury is usually inflicted below the surface of the ground. It Is necessary to destroy such mice unless they are driven out by deep and dean cultivaWhere tion of the whole orchard. meadow mice only are concerned, such methods as mechanical protectors and repellent washes are practicable, although the destruction of the mice Is far-sighte- d an-thou- preferable. to relative information General methpds of coping with field mice Is contained In Farmers Bulletin 1397, Mouse Control In Field and Orchard, and more specific information to meet questions not covered by the bulletin will be given to anyone describing details of their problems to the.

Corn silage Is best prepared when the corn Is cut at a stage containing about 65 or 70 per cent moisture, say specialists of the United States De- partment of Agriculture. This may be told when the lower leaves on the stalk are turning brown, about 90 per cent of the kernels are dented, and 75 per cent are so hardened that no moisture can be squeezed out. The length ,to which the silage Is to one cut should be from Inch. Silage cut this short will pack better and the silo will hold Its maximum tonnage. Also the chances for the silage to spoil are considerably reone-ha- duced. In filling the silo packing Is essential. The common practice Is to keep the sides slightly higher than the center and to tramp the whole surface thoroughly. If the silage Is too dry to pack well, water should be added. This Is best done by directing a hose In the blower. d and moistened silage Is less likely to mold. When the silo is filled the' silage should be covered to prevent spoilage. A layer of cut corn or sorghum stalks from which the ears or grain have been removed does this effectively. Well-packe- Unproductive Idle Land Made to Yield Profits Idle land like Idle labor Is a detriment to any county. Taxes must be paid on all land. Why not grow a sandy, crop of timber on worn-oubroken, or wet lands not needed for agriculture? This pertinent question for farmers Is answered by W. R. extension forester, with the United States Department of Agriculture, who reminds us that there are several million acres of such land which should be producing timber because it Is the most profitable crop that can be grown on such lands. Timberland that has been cut heavily and burned over usually has so few trees that it does not get well set in young growth. All sorts of weed trees come In, like sweet gums, sassafras, persimmon, and others, often preventing the more valuable trees from coming in. Fines are easily propagated, and denuded lands can be made to grow a full crop of pine with a little effort. Experiments show that slash pine seed can be successfully sown on wet lands, such as savannah or crawfish lands. About two pounds of seed per acre should be used. Sowings on land with one years grass have given better results than on freshly burned-ove- r land. t, Mat-too- seed-bearin- Sold by g, Bard ware, paint, grocery and general stores.
