A lost turquoise mine within I f About 1008, when Palin was In business In Goldfleld, he received an Inquiry from Tiffany's, New York City, asking who could ship that Arm about 100 pounds of turquoise. Polin later asked an old prospector If be could locate aome turquoise. Sure, sure. the prospector replied. "I got a lot of thst stuff aint worth anything, is it?" In time the prospector appeared with two or three ore sacks of material be claimed was turquoise.

It was some time before the prospector showed up at the store again. When Polin handed him $250 in currency the old fellow almost collapsed. He lost no time In bringing In more of the turquoise, and this time delivered some four sacks of the gemstone. Harry asked him where be was getting it The prospector did his best to describe the location of the mine. He explained it was In the Cuprite district, some 12 to 14 miles south of Goldfleld. The next check from Tiffanyt was for $1,000, and Polin waited for the old fellow to come back for bis share. The prospector never returned, and no one else has ever been able to locate that fabulous turquoise mine, said to be within a dozen miles of this town. Retarding Sprout Growth in Storage f $500!

That, at least, is the claim of the Florida Brahman Breeders association in describing "Floridas cattle of the future." Likewise, J. M. Frost of Houston, Texas, president of the American Brahma Breeders' association, praises the quality of the breed. Edgar Hudgins of Hungerford, Texas, owner of the largest Brahma herd In that state, declares these hardy cattle are exceptionally adaptable to all of the South. All of them say, "Buy Brahmana.

More About Pitching At this point DiMagglo and your correspondent became involved In a discussion. What do you figure the toughest baQ to hit? I asked. Whats your answer?" Joe said. "A low curve ball over the Inside comer," was my reply. Any low curve ball Joe said, "inside or outside. I hit on a level plane. So did Hornsby, Bill Dickey and Babe Ruth. But when you get one of those low ones around your knees, you have to swing In a different way. Its a great thing for the hitters that only a few hurlers can handle this type of pitch. For it takes perfect control to make this low throw. Heres a funny thing. A low curve breaks much faster and sharper than a high curve. Why? I dont know. But it does. After all we have to deal with facts, not with ideas. You know, Grant, from the pitching distance, that ball comes up to you in less than half a second. Johnsons speed was 130 feet a second. You dont have time to do much figuring in half a second. Its different with just a fast ball You can time that But you cant time a fast breaking curve around your knees. Effective Use of DDT In the Poultry House While DDT offers little encourage- ment for the control of the common chicken mite, it has proven effective in the control of other Insects that infest the poultry house. When 3 per cent DDT Is added to kerosene and painted on the roosts it is effective in controlling bed bugs. New Jersey station found the 3 per cent dust combination effective when applied to nests. When sprayed over the roosts and droppings It has proven effective against maggots. For the control of flies and mosquitoes, a 5 per cent solution should be used during the height of the season. At other times a 2 Vt per cent solution will prove satisfactory. A 2 per cent suspension or dust with 5 per cent DDT powder will rid poultry of blue bugs. Improved Machinery Rototiller Strong Hands Needed You read in various gazettes the number of earnest and enterprising athletes who are now working to build up their legs and arms. Such Louis, Conn, Greenberg, Dickey, DiMagglo, Ted Williams, Itc. But too many of these, and a great deal too many of the youthful competitors just getting under way, overlook a section of the body just as important This happens to be the two hands. Hand strength and hand action play a big part in baseball football, boxing, golf, tennis, riding, basketball fishing and other sports. Especially in baseball boxing, horse racing and golf. A pair of big, powerful hands was Hans Wagners crowning glory. Jack Dempsey's two Iron fists, almost never Injured, were a big help. Two of the strongest looking pair of bands 1 ever saw belong to Tommy Armour, the golf star, and Bill Dickey, the Yankee catcher. It isnt everybody who happens to be bom with Wagner, Dempsey, Armour or Dickey hands. Bat this defect can at least be partially cured by the right sort of hand exercise. One of the best methods is to use rather small hard rubber balls, squeezing one in each hand. men as Instead of turning the ground over as the plow does, the Rototiller chums and thoroughly crumbles the soil with steel claws which rotate rapidly to paddlewheel fashion. The depth of tillage is adjustable. This new rototiller is produced by Graham-Paig- e Motors at Willow Run, Mich. Carrots Keep Better With Foliage Removed Carrots placed to storage will keep considerably better if the tops are removed first, according to results ascertained at Cornell university. There are other advantages, saving in space and in shipping and handling cost when the carrots are marketed. By removing the tops, the moisture is conserved for the roots. The saving in moisture is reported at L3 afK-u- t per cent. |
