The now congress, to convene In January, will lie elected In November. And nothing Is surer than that there will be a vast number of changes. A lot has been printed about tbe probability that the Republicans would gain at least TO seats, and perlmps more. In the election, whereas the Democrats might gain a few senators. But that Is only part of It. Many Democrats will be denied renoininatlons by their ungrateful constituents. Many others will retire. The same Is true of Itepuhlicans.

The chief trouble Is (lint the problem Is not Immediate enough. If It threatened doubling the price of automobile tires next month, the whole country would be excited, and something would be done. The threat Is further off than that. But It Is very real, and Is the kind of thing that cannot be dealt with very successfully after the strangle hold has been clamped on. For rubber tukes time to come Into production, and so far, while successful from a laboratory standpoint, the experiments of the late Thomas A.

Good Chicks Pay in Laying House Next Fall It will take three chhks tn every pullet that goes Into the laying house next fall, poultry authorities estimate. One chick usually die, one of the two left Is a cockerel nnd the third should mature Into a good, healthy pullet. Purchasers of chicks should keep In this general recommendation mind In planning their flock program. In buying chhks It Is essential that good quality chicks he secured. It Is Imimssllile to produce good hens from poor chicks. Under the will not sell code, hatrlierymen chicks below cost of production. It costs more to produce a good chick than a poor one. consequently they will cost the buyer more. However, the additional cost of a cent or two on a chick does not amount to much In the value of the pullet that goes Into the laying house next winter. It will only take a few more eggs per hen to pay the difference In a lot of good chirks and a lot of cheap chicks. A quality chick Is the result of careful flock management, years of breeding and a program of disease control.

It usually makes Its appenrfince when the chicks are from four to seven weeks of age. The symptoms of slipped tendons are swollen hocks that assume a bluish-greecolor.

The greatest concentration of sheep herds In Africa Is along the Mediterranean coastal zone from Gibraltar to Tunisia, and In SouflT Africa. Every country of Europe raise sheep, hut In Norway, Sweden and Finland there are few flocks, scattered over wide areas. The United States, with upward of 60,000,000 head of sheep, Is the only country In North America that haa taken to wool growing In a big way. Whera America Sheep Ar. of the aheep tn About the United States graze In the mountains and on the plnteaua and plains west of the Mississippi river.

As In the case of cotton, historians and naturalists have been stumped by the query, when and where was wool first used?" Sheep and wool are mentioned in the Bible, and It Is known that the Romans practiced sheep breeding. Some of their prize animals wore Jackets to protect the fleece. Shortly after the beginning of the Christian era an Italian took several sheep from Italy to Spain to breed them with the native merino sheep. Incidentally, the merino sheep produced the finest wools, and have been bred with many other Inferior sheep to Improve the latters fleece. The growth of the wool Industry In the United States has been pheTwo years after Capt nomenal. John Smith and his followers landed on the Virginia coast the first sheep were Introduced Into America at their settlement. Twenty-onyears later a shipment of the fleecy animals from Europe was landed on the Massachusetts coast. Indians appetites, predatory animals and severe winters made serious Inroads on the colonial flocks, so most of the animals were kept Inside town walls, on Islands, and on peninsulas fenced off from the mainland. Growth of the Wool Industry. As cotton clothed the colonists of the South, wool clothed those of the Private homes then were North. The America's woolen factories. American wool trade began when families exchanged their wool and surplus homespun for With the Inother commodities. crease In colonial population the demand for wool cloth rose and the federal government as well a local governments encouraged wool growing. 0 four-fifth- s one-sixt- e , ftCftlDA BWL01N& WCRCASf Before and Afttr Shearing. r Lost Language Is Found in Russia n New-Lai- SEEK ALL KIN OF JACQUES CARTIER sheep-ownin- Jut two centuries aftet aheep arrived from England, there were 7,000, 000 aheep grating over the settled area of eastern United State.

To aheep, many regions of tha world owe at least partially their discovery and growth, for these anlmala often have been the companions of pioneers. Magellanea (formerly Punta Arenas), Chile, the southernmost city of South America, was 'saved by the fleecy anlmala. The city was an Important coaling and alilp supply station for craft doubling Cape Horn before the completion of the Panama canal. The canal stripped It of former prestige, and even many of Its staunchest citizens prophesied Its doom. Smart business men, however, saw the possibilities of sheep Industry on the surrounding mainland and nearby Islands, and turned their faces from the sea to the land for their livelihood. Thanks to aheep, Magellanea still Is a thriving port. How Eleecea Are Handled.

At the factory expert workmen sort the wooL Some sorting tables are covered with wire netting through which dust and other loose foreign matter falls while the sorters tear the fleeces apart. In some countries wool Is washed before It Is sheared from the sheep. Unwashed fleeces contain grease from the skins of the animals. After sorting, the wool Is scoured by passing It through a series of vats of warm, soapy water. From the washers It Is conveyed to drying rooms and thence to carding rooms where It begins the Journey that ends In woolen cloth and other woolen products. Worsted fabrics are trade of yarn whose fibers are parallel, while woolens are made of fibers crossed and mixed. Wool is constantly moving in commerce.
