Hull, President of the National Cooperative Milk Producers' Federation, observed that we cannot continue to pile up' great surpluses of all farm products without lowering prices to below production costs?and that, owing to the ^ very nature of farlning, acreage cannot be gauged in advance so that it ( will provide precisely the right, amount of each product each year, j When a farmer plants an acre of po- j tatoes, for example, only the gods', know whether the crop will be 500 bushels or 50. Mr. Hull then said: "We must find . a plan as did the ancient Egyptians} to carry over from the fat years to the lean years." Many plans have been suggested for achieving thus?and farmers and farm associations can do no more vital work than to study, experiment, ami finally develop the t>cst plan that J can !>< created. It is easy to destroy produce?it is not easy to replace it if. the \oar following, nature causes a deli- it. Sound economic practice, plus organized effort to stabalize production and marketing, are the real [ allies of agriculture.?Industrial News.

Washington Monument It P'uiA, Though Settling The Washington monument, lu the National Capital, furnishes the longest settlement record available to engineer*. (t was planned to place the monument at the Intersection of the north south uud east west axis of the city, hut that alte proved swampy so the alto was moved to a sandy mound nearby. The early records are not available, hut observations have been made since 187U, One hundred and fifty feet of the monument was erected when work stopped In 1854. Before Its height was Increased a pew foundation was placed under It It was then raised to ite present height of BOO feet. At the 150 feel height It weighed 31,152 tons and completed 81,120 ton*. The monument settled two and a quarter Inches In the year 1870, when 80,. 000 tons weight were added, and by 1880 It had doubled this amount, when another 30,000 tuns were added. Since that time the rate of settlement haa slowed up considerably, but | the total has been Increased by one Inch, making a total of five and sU* tenths Inches in 55 years. It Is ex | peeted to continue to settle for some time as It bas been ascertained that there la a compressible bed of clay underlying the gravel on which it la built varying In thickness from 10 to 40 feet lied rock Is at a depth of 60 feet below sea level and 100 feet below the foot of the monument The monument has settled quite uniformly and the structure 1s nearly plumb. Qusal for Food Problem of Peru's Forest People To forest inhabitants of northeastsrn Peru, the dominant problem Is the quest for food, writes Uewelyn Williams In the Field Museum News. Their principal source of starch la manioc, and their protein la obtained mostly from fish. The most common method of fishing Is through poisoning the water. Several species of trees, shrubs and herbs possessing toxic j properties serve this purpose. The most powerful and generally used one is an evergreen ahrub of the pea family known as barbasco and as cube. 1 he roots of the barbasco are ground to a creamy pulp, or cut Into small pieces and plttced in a canoe where they are covered with water. The flshprmen then stamp on the mixture with their feet until a grayish liquid is produced. A lagoon or stream with little or no current la selected. Across It la built a weir of strong straight stakes and palm leaves, to t form a pool Into which the barbasco Is thrown. After a few minutes the poisoning or paralyzing effect upon the fish becomes apparent. The smaller ones rise to the surface and die. Soon the larger fish are afTected. They may be seen Jumping out of the water and the fishermen secure them in outspread palm leaves, In nets, or bv speuring them. Water Ouzel The water ouzel, a gray bird about I the size of a robin though shorter and stockier in appearance, frequents the Kock.v Mountain region and the moun- I talnous areas of California. The water ouzel, or dipper as it is sometimes I called, not only dives into the water for tho aquatic insects upon which It feeds, but can walk on the bottom of a stream with swift running water over tts bead and can aetunlly fly under water, even when the stream is covered with ice. It builds its nest near the water, sometimes behind a waterfall, which means that on each trip to and from the nest the birds must fly through a curtain of water The nests are shaped like little huts and made of moss which is kept green by the sprnv.?Detroit News. Watch and Clock Peter IIen 1 en or Helo of Nuremberg ? given credit for the Invention of the mainspring, which made watches possible; about the year 1500.

Larg??t Sundial Manila, the capital city of the Phil lpplne islands, has what is claimed to be the largest sundial In the world It la one of the most Interesting sights of that city and is located on Taft Hvenue. near Philippine university. ,1 his avenue was named in honor of the late President Taft who was n former governor general of the Phil Ip pines.

Good Conversation One of the best definitions of con versation was that by the Kngllsh scholar, Sir John P. Mahaffy?"To take up what others say in easy com moot, to give in return something that *111 please, to stimulate the silent and morose out of their vapors, and surprise them into good humor, to lead while one seems to follow?this is the reti aim of good conversation." rank B. McAllister in the Rotariaa Mags sine.
