J., was won by 11-months-old John Done aruma of Cliffside Park, N. J. The babies, dressed only in diapers, had to “race” down a 100-foot course, The crowned winner stands be- hind the trophy. (International) Balsinger & Luther is not well, so he can’t give us much help around the farm. Mary and the other boys and I work here six days a week, eight hours a day. “On the farm we grow beets, corn, oats, hay, peas and potatoes. The peas are sent to the cannery. This year we will raise 22 acres of corn and three acres of peas. In addi- tion we will have three acres of beets and one acre of potatoes. “All of this work will have to be done at night but somehow we will manage it. “We are of Slavonian descent and we went to this farm about 17 years ago. We think we will be able to keep up the farm and our jobs here and feel that we have to. My mar- ried brother will come out at the busy time and give us a hand.” HOUSTON, TEXAS. — Here’s a thief who knows his ration book, even if he doesn’t know the Golden Rule. When John Overton, a cafe opera- ‘tor, joined his establishment for the day’s business, these items were missing: Ten pounds of coffee. Ten pounds of sugar. Nine cans of evaporated milk. Four cans of tomatoes. Five pounds of meat. The burglar ignored $5 worth of nickels and then added insult to in- jury. Along with the loot went Over- ton’s alarm clock.

The plant is dried and pulverized into fine, threadlike pieces. After be- ing beaten into a paste the mixture is molded, after which it is sawed, drilled, planed and finished like wood BANNER YEAR FOR FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INSPECTION WORK Unless adverse weather conditions should greatly reduce crop yields, a banner year is in prospect for offi- cial inspections of fruit and vegeta- bles for canning and for fresh ship- ment to market, according to D. M. James, of the Division of Fruits and Vegetables in the Bureau of Mark-' ets of the Pennsylvania Department of Agricultura. Although the peak of this work is not reached until September and Oc- tober, advance requests for the ser- vices of state inspectors indicate that this may be the heaviest year since the service was started in Pennsylva- nia twenty years ago. While production of most fruit crops is moderately light this year, the increased demand for inspectors is largely due to the added arceages devoted to growing vegetables for commercial canning, James pointed out. Large percentages of the incre- ases will go to the armed forces and to Lend Lease shipments and strict inspection is required for condition and quality of the pack. Inspectors are prepared to handle larger quan- tities of corn, tomatoes, apples, peas, and grapes for canning. In addition to the cannery work, the bulk of fresh shipments of apples, peaches, and grapes are certified as to grade and condition by licensed inspectors of the state and federal departments of agriculture. Inspec- tional work this year will be carried on in Adams, Cumberland, York, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Bucks, Philadelphia, Erie, Mountour, Colum- bia, Blair Mifflin, Huntingdon and Juniata counties. Last year approximately 350 mil- lion pounds of canning crops and 3,- 000 car loads of fresh produce for shipment ware handled by state in- spectors. STUDIES SHOULD CREATE INTEREST, DR.
