P. Bracken, superintendent of the state college substation at Nephl. Data concerning crop yields of the various farm practices at the sub station have been taken each year since 1904, and a number of important import-ant conclusions have been reached with regard to farm practice through observation of the experiment sta tion tests. Other studies taken at the substation substa-tion and recorded in the annual re port of the Utah State Agricultural college experiment stations show that fall-plowing in the Nephl area need not be done at any greater depth than seven inches to obtain best crop results. Data obtained concerning the various cropping systems show that under farm conditions comparable to those found in Nephl, alternate cropping Is the safest and most economical eco-nomical method. One of the most Important conclusions conclu-sions the station observers reached was that untitled, spring-plowed fallow land yields Just as heavily as land which receives normal or frequent fre-quent tillage. The Utah State Agricultural college col-lege In addition to maintaining a substation at Nephl, carries on experimental ex-perimental work In cooperation with some Individual farmers throughout the state. Dipper, Sniffers, Ht Own Way of Using Snuff BmiffUkers are not an foreign-bom- Nor art they old. Nor art they U men. Some of them are sniffers and tome are dippers. -And-dippers coniider sniffers very low People, and vice versa, asserts a writer In the Detroit Tree Preii. Dippers believe that snuff can be enjoyed properly only when it Is placed betweeq the lower Up and the gum. The snuff thus employed is mainly the lemiperishable kind. Dipping la the favorite method of the Swedes, Danes. Norwegians and Finns, who refer to snuff at "snoos." Both the method and the name have been adopted widely by factory workers who thus satisfy an appetite appe-tite for tobacco In places where smoking is forbidden. There is a subdivision of dipping (also considered low by orthodox dippers) in which a chewed twig of dogwood or sweetgum Is dipped Into In-to the snuff and then placed into the mouth. It is among the sniffers that one finds the most varying tastes and the most ardent adherence to traditions. tra-ditions. Sniffers either take It in the method that was fashionable in the Victorian era; that is, a tiny pinch introduced into the nostril between be-tween thumb and forefinger and sniffed up with sharp Inhalations, or by the more masculine method of Inhaling a man-sized heap from near the base of the thumb with inort-like intake. The flavors and odors that Individual Indi-vidual snufftakers insist upon (and get) in their pulverized tobacco Include In-clude such things as oil of winter-green, winter-green, attar of roses, spearmint, honey, fig, rum, pineapple, apple, maple, menthol, peppermint, sassafras sassa-fras and angostura tonka bean.

JUk your agent about IOW Winter Vacation Fares Tools in Ancient Egypt Many details of the building of the Pyramids of Egypt are still shrouded In mystery; perhaps will ever he. Yet it is known that the workmen who built these colossal piles of stone, that have endured for more than 5,000 years, worked with tools which we think of as modern implements. They used both straight and circular saws. Their cutting and fitting of the stones have been the marvel of architects for centuries. They also used solid and tubular drills, and knew and used the principles Involved in the modern lathe. Both their drills and the cutting edges of their lathes were set with hard Jewels of some kind, just as we point drills with diamonds. They had also discovered how to make their drills extremely hard, for the cutting marks show that while their drills could make a cut of a tenth of an inch at one revolution in solid granite there Is no indication of wear on the drilL .'up. filr. .... 1 Ik.VV .. x ....

Red Tires Soldiers At the beginning of the present century, the British army learned great deal about the effect of color on human beings. For one thing, It found that on long marches regiments in red uniform became fatigued more quickly than those In gray or green. A line of brightly uniformed men tired the eyes of those walking behind. Moreover, they appeared too conspicuously against the landscape. That is why olive-drab or khaki became the color col-or for fighting armies all over the world. Mrs. Samuel Grant entertained Thanksgiving day at a family dinner. din-ner.
