It was said at the Bureau that no sueh an interpretation did not reflect the departments attitude. The department, in line with its previous policy, places before the farmers of the country each year its view as to the outlook for the leading crops, said one of the burIn line with that eau officials. the policy departments statement which generally appears to have been misinterpreted pointed out a prospective increase in world sugar production amounting to about 14 per cent. It further stated that, with such a prospect, indications were that higher prices for sugar beets appeared to be remote. ' No mention whatever was made of acreage in the statement. No recommendation was made that acreage should be reduced. The simple facts as to the outlook, so for as the department could determine them, were embodied in the statement.

It has not changed its position at all in this respect. It still believes that the domestic sugar industry should be directed and fostered. It believes that sugar beet farmers should be encouraged to make the industrys extension possible where the growing of sugar beets is profitable to the farmer. There is no inconsistency between our previous attitude and our present one. What we did attempt to do was to tell the sugar beet growers that the prospect for higher, prices next year was not good. If sugar beet growers can sell their product at a profit on basis of last years pi ices, it is up to them.

TEBBS s Good Claim to Power Ovct Reptiles 17 YEARS Until quite recent date at Luxor was to be found an Egyptian who claimed direct descent from the pharaohs, and who possessed wonderful power over snakes, scorpions and other reptiles. exhibition of his uncanny power was given amid the ruins of Karnak, a favorite haunt of reptiles, Before entering the garden the man removed his clothes. He then walked In, and commenced an impassioned harangue, summoning all the snakes In the den to obey the powers he had rived from his pharaoh ancestors, come forth. Not many moments elapsed after he had finished his rangue before a long, thin si ll came gliding toward him. It was lowed by another and another, about a do?en snakes had come out on to the path where he stood, which were picked up by the snake man and stuck Into a basket. The man quietly approached spectators and asked If they wished him to gather scorpions. He then turned to an old well and ex horted the scorpions to emerge. At once a large one came out of a hole In the wall, the man picked It up and placed it on his palm. The scorpion Immediately stung him, drawing a few drops of blood, but the roan paid not the slightest attention to this. The mans strange powers were not inherited by his son, as the latter was shortly after bitten by a cobra and died immediately. of MEAT CONSUMPTION in the U.S fol-tl- More meat and lard was consumed per capita in 1923 than In any other year since 190S. This increase in consumption was primarily in pork and lard. According to the Agricultural Foundation, in addition to providing the amount needed for domestic consumption, enough meat and lard was produced to export over two billion pounds, which is equivalent to about 18 pounds more per capita. As pork production is now being curtailed, the 1924 figure of meat consumption is not likely to be equaled in 1925. Sears-Roebuc- k It Pays To Market Beef of Quality No Method Yet Found to Prevent Hailstorm The United States weather bureau says It is often asked whether there Is not some way that hailstorms can be prevented. The answer, replies the bureau, Is in the negative. Pathfinder Magazine reports. There is no known way to prevent hail. Much powder has been burned In Europe bombarding the clouds In a futile attempt to avert hailstorms. In some countries on elaborate technique has been developed, requiring the use of special types of mortars, bombs and rockets. In France before the World war it was customary to erect hall rods or electric Niagaras. These were large copper lightning rods installed on high buildings and steel towers built especially for the purpose. A hundred years ago It was a common practice with Europeans to put up small hail rods, often consisting of poles with metal tips. These were erected In fields, gardens and vineyards. None of these methods, says the weather bureau, had any plausible scientific hypothesis behind them. Any effects ascribed to them were purely It is condition and quality rather than weight that decide whether a steer is to be placed in the beef cattle classification. Within the class it is condition and quality that largely determine the amount of profit that goes to the shipper. Choice to prime steers bring from 75 cents to. $5.75 per hundredweight over the common light stock, according to a study made of lightweight steers coming to the Chicago market by the Agricultural FouSears-Roebuc- k ndation. ' The bulk of the shipments are classified under the grades of prime steers. 1,200 to 1,600 pounds ; choice steers, 1,150 to 1,600 pounds ; good steers, 1,150 to 1,600 pounds; medium steers, 1,100 to 1,400 pounds, and common rough steers, 900 to 1,200 pounds. These are the classifications of the United States Bureau of Markets. Prime beef steers are the ideal type, combining exceptional breeding and thorough finishing. Short neck and short legs, smooth flesh and bulging briskets are prerequisites. Prime beef steers are rare, even steers good enough to grade as choice are few. They show most of the characteristics of the prime grade,' good breeding and long feeding, smooth flesh and thick fat. On the block the quality steer will show a good proportion of red meat covered with a modest amount of smooth white fat. The lean, while firm ol texture, will be mellow to the touch. The carcass should carry down full to the hock, being highly marbled with bright lean of a fine grain. well-fille- d, Boys Essay on Ants There are two kinds of ants, one being your mothers sister and the other being small black insecks who may be some relation to. Tour mothers sister lives In a house like other people, while inseck ants live in small round holes and generelly seem to be either going into them in a hurry or coming out of them in a hurry, like somebody that dont know ixaekly vvat they wunt. Inseck ants all look alike, so It would be hard to teetch one to do tricks because if he ever got away you would never reckonize him again. They are not sociable, like dogs, and most people are glad of it It is supposed to be bad luck to tred on a ant, and even if It aint for you it Is for the ant. Birmingham Ancient Scottish Family The late Colonel Scrymgeour held the office of hereditary standard bearer of Scotland and the lineal descendant of two famous families. The name of Wedderbum was taken from the lands and barony of that name near Berwick, and Walter de Wedderburn swore fealty to Edward I. Alexander Wedderburn was a great favorite with James VI, went with him to England, was a signatory to the union, and was presented by the king with a ring from his own finger, still preserved by the Wedderburns. This branch became extinct in 1761, when the estates were Inherited by the heir of the line, now represented by the Scrymgeour Wedderburns of Wedderburn and Klrkhill. Family Herald.
