The first film, “Exploring the upper air,” deals in a popular man- { ner with the scientific side of up- | per-air observation work. It de- picts flights by Weather Bureau meteorologists in airplanes, diri- gible balloons, and free balloons in the study of upper-air conditions | for weather forecasting, An air- | plane flight above the clouds, a dirigible journey in the neighbor- | hgod of St. Louis, the beginning { and the end of a free balloon flight, the making of “dust counts” high | above the earth’s surface are a- mong the striking scenes. | Three days after the scenes were | photographed, Lieut. James T. Neely, of the Army Air Service, | and Dr. C. Leroy Meisinger, of the | Weather Bureau, who appear in | the scenes, left Scott Field, Ill, in | a large balloon for a long flight, | during which the balloon was des- troyed, apparently by a static dis- charge, and both men were killed. The second film, “Watching the weather above,” shows the daily | work of making upper-air observa- | tons at numerous stations by means | of large kites and “pilot” balloons, | the assembling of the information | at forecast centers, and the dis- | tribution of “flying weather” fore- | casts from these centers.

It depicts flights by Army airplanes and dirigible balloons, Navy seaplanes, the great Navy dirigibles Shenandoah and Los Angeles, the progress of the | air-mail planes from New York to | San Francisco, the detection of | forest fires by airplanes, and the | “dusting” of cotton and other | crops as protection against insects. | The film closes with the statement: “ ‘Fifty years from now we'll all | be flying,” is a frequent prophecy. | If so, the Weather Bureau, through | its present preparations, will be | ready to help make the air safe | for you.” —— ees | 415,030 Dogs Licensed Over 415,000 individual dogs’ | licenses were issued up to June 1 | by the Bureau of Animal Industry, | State Department of Agriculture, to the latest report.

In answer to inquiries, the department says that improper watering is the fundation of most fern difficulties, especially such liberal watering as that which keeps the plant soaked, or such lack of water as permits the soil in the pot to become dry and hard. Fumes of burning gas, whether from a gas range or gas are extremely injurious. CHANGES IN FRENCH FARMING NOT REALLY CAUSED BY WAR Although French agriculture un- der pressure of foreign competition has materially shifted its produc- tion from wheat and other cash field crops to live-stock and ani- mal products in the last 40 years, it has not ‘thereby found relief from th& effect on prices of in- creased farm production in the Western and Southern Hemispheres, Frozen pork from the United States frozen beef from Argentina, and frozen mutton from Australia are depressing French prices of these meats to-day, just as shipments of wheat and oats from this continent jets, Great care should be taken not to overwater the fern when it i is necessarily very poor. The time of year should be considered, too. In ‘the spring and summer require three times the necessary in autumn and They should always be water winter. sojl moist at all times. It is well, also occasionally to put them in the them with weak soap suds from a good grade of soap. The soap must be thoroughly rinsed off immediately. Great care ‘must be exercised not to injure the fronds, as they are very tender. Mealy bug, a white wooly insect works close to the bottom of the fronds, one of the worst ene- mies of house ferns. If found, the plant should be examined every day and all insects removed by a splint or toothpick. If badly infested, all the top of the fern should be cut off within an inch of the ground and then thoroughly treated each day until all insects are ated, when a new top can be grown. Red spider is a minute sucking insect that thrives in a dry atmosphere. It can be kept in check by washing or by spraying the top with clear water. The is aphis or green fly is also eradicated | by washing. Apply once in two to four weeks a dilute solution of nitrate of soda—one teaspoonful to a quart of water, very dilute amonia water —two teaspoonfuls of household ammonia to a quart of water, or manure leachings as fertilizers. Eee. ROAD IMPROVEMENT PAID FOR IN SHORTER TIME The improvement of the import- ant roads of the country pays for itself in a remarkably short time, according to the Bureau of Public Roads of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. Data cocllect- ed in a survey of highway trans- portation in Maine indicate that on the basis of present traffic the 300 miles of most heavily travel- ed road in the State could be im- proved from an earth-road condi- tion to a high-type pavement at a cost, with interest at 4 per cent, which could be repaid by the sav- ings in operating costs of passen- ger cars only in slightly more than four years. The actual en greater saving would be ev- than this. Records show that traffic on the Maine highways doubled in the period from 1916 to 1919, that it doubled again from 1919 to 1923, and a careful analysis indicates that it will double again in the period 1924 to 1930. As the traffic in- creases naturally the savings in motor-vehicle operation will in- crease Rapid increase in highway traf- fic and large possible savings in motor-vehicle operation due to the improvement of important roads is a condition common to every State. Thomas H. MacDonald, Chief of the Bureau of Public Roads, says: “We pay for improved roads whether we have them or not, and We pay less if we have them than if we do without.” —_— 72 WERE KILLED DURING THE PAST FIVE MONTHS Seventy-two persons and 230 injured in 429 at grade crossings in Pennsylvania the first: five months eof this year, members of the bureau of accidents Publie Service Commission, an- nounced todav. This is an in- crease of 67 in the number of ac- cidents, 30 in the number killed and 47 in the number injur- ed compared with the like period of 1924. There were 364 motor cars in- volved in the accidents and of their occupants 41 were killed and 197 injured. Five persons in wag- ons and 26 pedestrians were a- mong the list, —— Eee. TUBERCULIN TESTS START IN TEN COUNTIES were killed accidents The tuberculin test of cattle on the area plan started on July 6 in 33 townships of ten different count- ies. These include Beaver, 2 town- ships; Blair, 1; Center, 2; Clear- field, 3; Columbia, 6; Erie, 5; Me- Kean, 6; Somerset, 1; Tioga, 2; Union, 4. "Twenty-one veterinar- ians, 13 in the State employ and 8 Federal, are in the field doing the work. In addition to the township area work, 545 individual herds in all parts of the State were assigned on July 1 for test under the indiv- idual herd plan. J is | a jardinere, where the drainage | ferns | watered | ringly—just enough to keep the | bathtub and wash | made | that | extermin- | lowered the price of French cer- {‘eals toward the end of the last century. | French agriculture, says | United States Department of riculture, has shown a tendency since the early eighties to decrease | the areas planted to cercals and fiber and leguminous plants and to the areas put down into | permanent grass for meadows and | pastures. Fallow lands were aban- doned up to the time of the war, and greater attention was paid to root crops and annual fodder and fodder plants. Changes in French agriculture apparently caused by the war are real'y only a devel- opment of tendencies long at work. These tendencies, however, have been much intensified. Lack of labor has thrown 50 per cent more land out of cultivation yearly than before the war. Total plowed lands are now about 7 per cent less than the average for the per- iod 1909-1913, while permanent grass lands occupy an area about 6 per cent greater. Although root and forage crops have an acreage about 7 per cent less than before the war, they are recovering more rapidly than other field crops, the aggregate area of which is 19 per cent below the average for the | years 1909-1913. It is estimated it will take 30 | years or more for France to make up her loss of population since 19- | 13, but there is a drift of popula- tion to the towns and it is doubt- | ful whether the country can con- | tinue supplying her own cereal re- quirements. Although she is near- er meeting her requirements of meat, competition from other count- ries will have to be reckoned with. —_——— a | increase MAKE CONSIDERABLE MONEY FROM CANDIED FIGS Increasing the cash income of the farm women has been one re- sult of extension work in many States. In some sections of the country home-demonstration agents have found it essential to suggest ways in which a woman’s income could be augmented before improve- ments in the farm home and its surroundings could be undertaken at all; in other districts income-pro- ducing activities such as gardening, keeping poultry, cheese-making, home baking or canning, have grown out of club wdrk for rural women who were primarily interested in improving their own mode of living and knowledge of home economics. As an instance of this, the use of home evaporator, for saving sur- plus fruit has been widely advoeated in parts of California by extension agents. It has been quite gene to make an amount of dried fruit sufficient for family use, and the women have been shown how to candy some of the fruit so as to convert it into a very desirable con- fection. A report recently received by the United States Department of Agriculture states that several years ago one farm woman in this State had a large surplus of figs for which no market was available. She began making candied figs, using her eva- porator to finish the product. Having much more of this confection than the family eould use, she tried sell- ing it at the prevailing price for candied fruits, a doliar a pound, and disposed of 60 pounds. In 1922 she made and sold $600 worth; in 1923, $2,000 worth, and in 1924 her income from the candied figs, still bringing the same price per pound, was $6,000. eet eee FIRST STATE FARM ORGANIZATION DIRECTORY The first list of county and state agricultural and allied organiza- tions to be issued by the Pennsyl- vania Department of Agriculture is now available as bulletin No. 400. This list is the most complete one of its kind ever published in the State. The name and president and secretary of over 350 county-wide organizations are carried. In additon, the name and address of the president and see- retary of twenty-nine state wide agricultural organizations and six- teen closely related associations are incorporated. Statistics showing that over two million people attended county fairs and exhibitions in 1924 and almost $273,000 was paid as premium to exhibitors by the fa‘r associations are another feature of the bulletin. The place and date of each fair to be held this season is likewise in- cluded.
