Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH Is I Show-Windo- w Latest Feature New Bag Useful for Large Volume of Produce. Prepared bv the United States Department of Agriculture ) WNU Service. The public, long advised against buying a pig in a poke, can now disregard that bit of warning; that Is, if the poke happens to be one of the new cotton bags with the feature, recently devised by the United States Department of Agriculwith the North ture, in Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering. Suitable for Farm Products. The new bag is a result of the departments search for new uses for cotton. It is now being offered to the trade in small sizes suitable for packaging potatoes, onions and other farm products for sale to the retail customer. The bag is woven in one piece of cloth, but one side is of very open mesh so that the contents may be seen readily by the buyer. The other side of fine mesh permits the printing ,of the brand. This duplex" bag saves the retail grocer the time necessary to weigh each individual order. It also prevents customers from picking over the produce. This bag is more adapteJ to the ready package in many instances than is a paper bag, and when the bag is empty, the housewife can rinse the sizing out of it and use it as a dust cloth. Promises to Be Popular. The new bag was produced and put into use too late last season to be used as a container for a very large volume of farm produce. The attractiveness of the package, however, and the fact that bags made from this duplex material can compete with other bags in price are two of the features which promise to make It popular during the coming year in packaging farm products for the consumer. show-windo- w Large Potato Yield on Pennsylvania State Farm The state hospital at Allentown, has one of the best farms in the country. What its scientific management costs is more than made up by the fine crops. Its yield of potatoes last season was something phenomenal. On a single measured acre this farm produced 603 bushels of potatoes, while on 28 acres there was a yield far above the countrys average. The seed used for this wonderful yield was obtained in northern Michigan and was of the russet variety. To prepare the land at Allentown soy beans and seven tons per acre of barnyard fertilizer were plowed under In the fall and 950 pounds of commercial fertilizer was applied on each acre in the row. A fertilizer heavy with phosphate and potash was adopted. watch your WOMEN: BOWELS What should women do to keep their bowels moving freely? A doctor should know the answer.

In the way this is done, the exposition will be unlike any worlds fair that has ever before been held. Accordingly, the exhibition buildings which are now in the process of construction will be different from any others that have ever before been erected. They will represent not only the architecture of today, but the architecture of the future. They will be modernistic to the last degree. That is, all of them will be except one. the lake front where the exbe held there already has will position been built a little structure of rough-hewAlong n logs Fort Dearborn of tragic from the phoenix-like- , ashes of more than a century ago. And visitors to the worlds fair in 1933 can look upon it against its background of skyscraper-lineMichigan avenue and in it, Surrounded by the modernistic architecture buildings, see not only an epitome of the history of Chicago, but also an epitome of the history of the whole United States. Marvelous as has been this transformation of a lonely frontier outpost with less than a hundhred white inhabitants to a metropolis of more than three million, the fourth largest city in the world, there remains one amazing fact to make the story of Chicago's e growth sound like a of all this has tale.

It Is problematical whether will still be alive when the worlds fair is held in 1933, and whether he will be able to come back to the scene of his birth if he is still alive at that time. But the fact remains that today there lives a man who could stand in a city of teeming millions and recall the time when this spot was but little changed from what It must have been when the caravels of Columbus first touched the shores of the New world. But the survival of this one hundred and twenty-on- e year old native of Chicago is not the only evidence of the amazing transformation that has taken place on the shores of Lake Michigan. Recently there took place in Chicago an Incident which afforded a dramatic contrast between the Old and the New. Through the gates of the rebuilt Fort Dearborn one morning rode John Manson, dressed in the military uniform of the style worn by . the builder of his the original Fort Dearborn. He was carrying a letter addressed to the postmaster of New York city. Through great-grandfath- of automobile traffic on Michigan avenue he made his way to the Chicago post office where his letter was dropped into a mall sack which was tossed- - into an automobile the maze truck and rushed out to the municipal airport There it was taken aboard an air mail plane and that evening the letter was placed in the hands of the New York postmaster less than 12 hours from the time it had left Fort Dearborn. Had such a letter been dispatched from the Fort Dearborn of a century ago it would have been weeks and possibly months before it was delivered in New York. For as one historian has put it From November until May Fort Dearborn was as isolated from the outside world as though it were on another planet We have In epitome the story of the failure of one attempt, made by Captain Whistler in December, 1809, to break this isolation. He obtained a months to journey to CincinnatL the round trip may be made and a fair days business transacted in 24 hours. Whistler left Chicago the last of November and reached Fort Wayne, Ind December 10, much fatigued after 11 days of wairy travel through rain and snow, as he tells it in a letter. The water was so high that his further progress was prevented. Finding it impossible, should he proceed, to be back at his post by the end of the month, he prepared to return to Fort Dearborn, grateful to his superior for the opportunity accorded him as though he had succeeded in making the journey. The historian quoted in the foregoing is Milo M. Quaife in his book Chicago and the Old Northwest." That book was published only 18 years ago. But how soon In these modern times may a statement be out of date Today the round trip may be made and a fair days business transacted in 24 hours, writes the historian in 1913. But the historian of 1931, after s of the air consulting the transport companies which now carry passengers to all parts of the United States, would write it Today the round trip may be made and a fair days business transacted In 12 hours. And If you would retrace Captain Whistlers Journey to Fort Wayne and do it in an airplane, you could cover in a little over an hour the distance it took him 11 days to make. . if si.

Neel, extensicn poultry specialist at Clemson college, South Carolina, points out that poultry and well developed pullets can be raised only if proper attention is paid to the details of poultry culture. In order to make it comparatively easy to raist healthy chicks, Neel sets down seven essentials for growing healthy chicks. The seven points in the chick raising program consist of the following practices: L Start with vigorous, disease-frechucks. 2. Hatch chicks at proper season. 3. Use clean range, separate from mature flock. 4. Use clean portable house with dependable brooder. 5. Use clean, feed. 6. Separate cockerels and pullets at broiler age. 7. Brood each hatch separately. e well-balance- d Coccidiosis Is Common Malady of Young Chicks Too much emphasis cannot be given to sanitary measures for the prevention of coccodiosis in chickens, said Dr. J. F. Bullard, of Purdue uniThis is a common disease versity. of poultry," he continued, and It is responsible for heavy losses in young birds from two to fifteen weeks of age. The eoccidium, which is the cause of the disease, is passed in large numbers in the droppings. For a short a time after they are passed out, are incapable of producing disease in birds that may take them into the body with water or feed. It is quite obvious, if young chicks are given clean brooders and if the brooders are kept clean, runs and lots have not been used for poultry during the past year or several months, that this disease can be controlled. Chicks and young birds should be kept apart from the adult breeding flock. coo-cidi- m Cjm-- August Flower corrects constipation even stub-- r bom cases almost like magic Sweetens stom-rO- r ach, stirs liver, aids gestion.
