The data lias been summarized and reported In Bulletin 302, Attitude of High School Seniors Toward Farming and Other Vocations, which may be secured free of charge from the Publics Hons Department at Clemson College. "The percentages of the youth of both ruces desiring to live on the farm," says Miss Frayser, "were higher for the children of owner than of non-owner farmers. Sixty-nine and three-tenths per cent of the white and 71.2 per cent of the negro youth si lulled agreed that rami life had pleasant aspects not Incident to city life. Kujoymont of nature, the healthfnliiess of country life, freeflbm, Independence, and home-farm production of food ranked high in the estimation of both races as attractive conditions of farm life. "Outstanding among me reasons given for leaving the farm w(,*re lew farm income, frequent lack of modern farm and home equipment, and the belief that cities offer more attractive economic, social and educational opportunities than the country.

Fan ale told police the negro Strang er told her he was from Washington and was seeking her as heir to an estate of $5,000. She accompanied him to an oflice building and waited in the lobby while he "conferred" with the lawyers upstairs. He return-d and told her, she said, that she would have to deposit a cash bond on $1>00 as evidence of good faith. The victim gave him the money from her savings account and once more waited in the lobby while he went up the elevator. He never returned. A big monkey, sent by Frank Buck, the explorer, to Jerry Welch, of Anderson. caused a near riot. When Welch unlocked the door of the monkey cage to look at the animal, it pushed out, hit the man in the solar plexus, and leaped 15 feet to the roof of the Welch home. After failing for an hour to coax the monkey down, Welch had a neighbor shoot the monkey with No. 2 shot, whereupon the monkey came to earth in a back somersault, stunned, but quickly ran into the cellar. As he seemed dead there on the cellar floor, Welch gave a tug to the monkey's tail, and' a fight begun again. Finally the monkey was lassoed and dragged out to his cage.

Wilmington, Del.?Contributions science Is making to agriculture are re- | viewed in n statement Issued here from the office of the Du Font Agricultural News Letter. "A survey of the efforts of scientists shows that more things are now being done by science for the farmer than ever before," It Is stated. "Better and more economical fertilizers have become available by the development of synthetic processes for producing urea In adequate quantities. Chemicals never before used In fertilizers are being added to meet deficiencies of plant foods In soils of various types. "Entirely new and different Insecticides are being produced from fatty alcohols, and research In the Held of organic chemicals Is expected to provide Insecticides which, although deadly to insects, will be safe in all respects to man. Improvements in the application of sprays and extension of the time limit of effectiveness of insecticides have been achieved through the development of new sticking, spreading and welting agents. _J"Organic mercury dusts for seed dls- | infection, developed by research chemists, show control of various plant dis- ; eases which once could not ho con- j trolled. These disinfectants arc proving so effective that seed treatment gives promise of being adopted as a ' regular farm practice, just as has been j the use of commercial fertilizers. "Entomologists are giving consider- [ ation to tin* use of motion pictures in colors for the study of major Insect pests. | "X ray photography is being used not only in animal husbandry and poultry | work, hut is also being applied .to the study of insects and for exnmlna- | tion of seeds to determine changes , made in seeds by subjecting them to the action of X rays and lights of different colors. I "Otherwise, the resources of science are being devoted to significant advances along agricultural lines. Large sums are being spent for research by federal, state and commercial agencies. Mnny scientists are busily engaged with Investigations. The results of these expenditures and efforts cannot but be of tremendous value to the fnrmers of the nation."

Fitts, Storrs, Conn., and was related to him by his niece who is the heroine in the tale and who tells it in her own words: Bill and I were one-arm autoing down the river road to a ferry, in order to attend a football game, up on the other side. On a precipitous cliff we picked up an Austin on our bumper }ust before side-swiping a large truck. The Austin collapsed into a good motorcycle and sped away. The truck driver, still asleep, drove on. While our car shot over the cliff landing squarely upon the smokestack of a passing steamboat. Bumping the smokestack started the boat capsizing and also punctured the boiler causing it to explode, throwing us again into the air and to the opposite shore. Here we landed unharmed upon a flat freight car heavily loaded with loose white feathers. Our impact started the freight car out upon the main track and on up the river. (lathering speed on the upgrade we rushed into the football city and into an open switch.

We hurdled that bumper and slid 2,000 feet to the very gate of the football field where Bill and I moulted before making a touchdown at the ticket window. But, woe of woes, a whirlwind picked up that carload of white feathers and carried them directly over the stadium, obscuring the sun. The game was called off on account of an impending snowstorm. Groping our way back to the car wc attempted to start homeward only to find that the engine had fallen out of the car > into the steamboat on the river.
