Cobb, director of the Division of Cotton. "In favorable crop years," lie says, the operation of the program serves to keep down burdensome and excessive supplies of cotton which would depress the market, thus providing, in effect, actual insurance to producers against such prices as prevailed in the 1931 32 and 1932-33 seasons "In unfavorable crop years," producers who suffer the loss of a portion of their crop through uncontrollable causes receive adjustment payments on rented acres, and parity payments on their production quotas, Just the Bame as if they had had normal crops. In addition, they receive an 1 income from the sale of their surplus ^ tax-exemption certificates. Contracting producers whose cotton crops were flooded this year will receive the same Bort of crop Insurance as those whose cotton crops suffered from the drought last year. "Most of the $26,000,000 distributed from the sale of surplus tax-excmption certificates last year went to growers in the drought areas, and theH sules of certificates helped save the day for them. "Both seller and buyer benefitted by the sale ami purehase of the certificates. The seller was able to add to Ids cash Income. The buyer was able to buy tax-exemption certificates at 4 cents a pound and did not have to pay the f>.t> cents a pound ginning tax under the Bunkhead Act." Helium First Discovered on Sun While in Eclipse An astronomer's telescope and the accurate weighing balance of a scientist have in recent years led to great new industries. Helium was first discovered on the sun during an eclipse in INOX. Thirty years later Lord I'aylelgh noticed that nitrogen obtained from the atmosphere was always -ery slightly heavier than nitrogen prepared by entirely chemical means He wanted to know why. The result of a long Bories of experiments was the Isolation from nsmospherlcal nitrogen of a whole series of hitherto unknown gases, Including neon, now used In electric signs; argon, with which 45,000,000 electric lamps are filled every year; and helium, the non-Inflammable gas used to provide airship "lift." The world's yearly consumption of argon requires the separation of this gas from more than 5,000 tons of air, and the use of the even rarer neon la being extended to many systems of automatic traffic control.?Tlt-Blts Magastna. Magic Apples An apple mystery was revealed art a recent meeting of the British Association of Refrigeration when It was discovered that "elderly" apples give out emanations which have the effect of quickly ripening bananas and also unripe apples. TJho emanations exercise a still, wore startling Influence on potatoes. Those vegetables, - If placed In the stream of_air coming from the elderly apples, either do not sprout at all, or produce sprouts which are like warts. Investigations are being made Into the nature of these uiysterlmi6 emanations, but so far the sctentlste have in>t been able to track them down. ? Tlt-Blts Magazine. Bird Caught on Steeple Escaping from a cage, a white cockatoo furnished three days of excitement for himself and others In Melbourne, Australia. It was tlrst seen in a tree, and a small boy climbed up and rescued it. The bird escaped again, and was next noticed on the topmost point of n church steeple. A leg chain which it had snapped when leaving its cage had become attached to the weather vane. By using live extension ladders and much Ingenuity, a steeple lack reached the cockatoo, which said, "Hello," and bit bis finger. The man severed the chain and caught the bird. Few European Bison Left The largest stock in tlie world ot wisents, or European bison, is now to be found In Sweden, says Nature Magazine. There are 12 animals, of which five are kept In the famous outdoor museum and zoological garden, Skansen, in Stockholm, and seven In a special reserve at Angelsberg. located not far from the capital. This stock consisted originally of but rwo.

The dictionary also stateB that dog days occur with a variance of some three weeks. The common belief in past years was that dog days began on July 28 and continued until around September 6?or forty days. But this year the season comes at its earliest date and will continue until August 11. And, If a belief that attaches to the season is correct?that with it comes rainy weather?it will not be an unwelcomed stranger in this ?tate, which is way behind on rainfall and has had a dry June?so dry that crops in some sections, especially the low country, have been burned up. The time of dog days, as already stated, is coincidental with the heliacal rising (with the sun) of Sirlus, thq dog star, which is so called because it is located at the mouth of Cairis Major, the Greater Dog. The ancients believed that the rising of the dog star had definite connection with this period at the hottest part of the year and named it the dog days. They set July as the first dog days, but owing to the procession of the equinoxes, different from what it was to the ancients, the beginning of dog days has been extended two days. Sirius is the hrltliUitt ctjir iyv tKc. heavens. It is estimated to have more than 13 times the magnitude of the sun. ( onnocted with dog days is a sign tor abundance of rain which has long been held valid by certain groups of weather prophets like that of ground bog day. Thus July 2 is known as \ irgin Mary's day, and if it rains that day, during the next 40 days precipitation might be expected every lay at some point within the radius :>f the horizon that is, a distance of lr> miles each way. The legend about the Virgin Mary s in effect that she planned to go on i journey beyond the mountains from a or home in the 40 days and it began aining when she started on her Jouricy and it rained until she returned ionic.
