ELECTRIFY FARM IN EXPERIMENT. The Westinghouse Electric Com- pany is undertaking an experimental farm near Pittsburgh, believing that the farmer’s hope is in efficient operation rather than in politics, W. S. Rugg, vice-president in charge of engineering, Westinghouse Elec- tric & Manufacturing Company, an- nounces. “Jt seems more than a coinci- dence that farming, though one of the biggest American industries, is almost the only one that makes little use of electricity, and is also the one to have suffered perhaps the severest depression. Today in an electrified America, the farmer cannot hold his own by the sweat of human labor,” Mr. Rugg says. “Though making electricity gen- erally availableon the farm presents difficulties, I believe Westinghouse can help solve these as it helped solve the problems of electric serv- ice for city lighting, for power, for transmission and for the rail- roads: Farm life should by rights be both pleasant and profitable— universally available electricity will do more than any other thing to make it so.” : PATH OF SUGAR. “In 1642 sugar sold in the London market at $2.75 per pound. At the close of the Fifteenth century the price had fallen to 53 cents a pound. Sugar did not become a regular fea- ture in the diet until it was intro- duced by Queen Elizabeth of Eng- land. The first reference to sugar TERRIBLE WAR MACHINE INVENTED BY BRITISH. What is described as the most ap- palling war weapon ever devised by man is being forged secretly in Great Britain, the “Daily Mail” has anhounced. This new horror is a combined fly- ing torpedo and giant armored air- plane, It functions without a crew, its engines and courses con- trolled by a clock-work “brain.” Its hull is merely a receptacle for bombs and will contain no space for a human occupant. On either side of the tapering, stream-lined body will be a metal wing; in the bow will be the engine and propel- lor which will operate automatically, and at the rear will be the control surfaces, which will likewise be automatic in their action. Inside the hull, in an armored container, will be a mechanical “prain” consisting of a clockwork device set beforehand to operate at any time. After a pre-determined distance has been flown the contri- vance will cause the engine to stop and the manless death-dealer will immediately tilt and fall with a crash. COCONUT PROPAGATION Coconuts are propagated differ- ently from almost any form of fruit or nuts. The coconut, as it forms in the outer hull, is buried in the ground, and the embryo gains nourishment first from the coconut milk, and as the growth of the plant advances the white meat which we eat becomes soft’ and and also feeds the young plant. obtained from cane was made by Theophrastus in the Third century, which ¢)mes from bamboo.” Sugar cane was first introduced in Ameri- ca in 1502 in the island of San Domingo.

WEST PENN POWER CO § WO teeth In a tractor’s gear broke while a farmer was plowing this spring. The nearest agency where parts were available was ten miles away. The farmer telephoned for a new gear and arranged for its immediate delivery. Within an hour the repairmen arrived, replaced the broken part, and plowing was resumed without the loss of more than an hour and a half.
