Double Benefits
On Cotton Program
Double benefits result from the rotton
program of I bo /^ricultural Adjustment
Admihist ration which provides
price insurance in favorable
years and crop jjimiriiiice in unfavorable
years, it is pointed not by Cully
A. 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.

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.
New Zeppelin, Flying Hotel
The new Zeppelin, which is under
construction In Freldrlchshafen, Germany,
will carry the equivalent of a
two-story building, with 25 bedrooms,
a dining room, 45 feet long, and baggage
room large enough to hold automobiles.
The craft will be 000 feet
long and more than 120 feet wide at the
center.
Tests have shown that worry retards
recovery from broken hones |
and other diseases, and causes illneSs
and pain.

proportionally as a mouse it would j

Dog Days May Bring
Abundance Of Rain
Wednesday was the first dog day,
ucording to the almanac, which reckons
this season of the year by the
heliacal rising of Sirus (the dog star)
with the sun, which means according
to tlie dictionary, is the emerging of
the star from the light of the sun,
after being in conjunction with it, so
it is visible in the morning before
sunrise.
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.
