It must be ratified by a twothird* vote of the senate to become effective. *" The poultry and egg industry once more Is expanding. Production of chickens was Increased in 1036, and a further increase is in progress this year Production of egg* declined slightly in 1038, but the output daring the current year of 1039 will probably equal or exceed that of 1037. On January I. next, there may be more than 420.000.o00. During the past fifteen years, the largest number of chickens on farms was 47.').000,000 in 1028. and the smallest was 287.000.000 in 1038. Ilut. us feed was more plentiful during 1038, there was an Increase i)f about 7 per cent In the number of chickens during the year. Amendments to the Social Security act were passed by the house and hearings are now under -wuy in the Senate Finance committee. Some improvements this summer and fall In the general business situation and demand for farm products was seen. Foreign business conditions, also, seem to bo picking up. Developments during the past month have given further Indication of moderate improvement in industrial activity and consumer incomes. The general business situation and demand for farm products probably will continue relatively stable throughout the vear. Declines In prices of meat animals. chickens and truck crops wore about offset during the past mou.h by increased prices of cotton, buti-Tfat and most fruits. A seasonal increase in income from farm marketings from April 12 to May la was indicated Larger government payments will probably raise fanners cash income for. January-September above the levels of the same months in 103S. A bill that provides mandatory prison terms for aliens who are convict-'d of espionage during peace time, was favorably reported by the Senate Naval Affairs committee. 4-H club work has received new recognition with passage by congress and signing by the President of a law prohibiting unauthorized use of the 4-H emblem. The emblem is In the shape of a green four-leaf clover with stem, and a white or gold H in each leaf. The 4-H's represent head, heart, hands and health., signifying the four-fold development club members attain In their farming and home-making projects and club meetings.

Coffee PUntntions Are Operated by Hand Power Coffee plantation* ure interesting places, especially to Americans who ure accustomed to seeing only American-style production of ordinary agricultural crops. Coffee seeds are thlcklytoown in carefully prepared beds. The seeds sprout in about 40 days, showing two small leaves. The plants then are transferred to the nursery plots In rows about a foot apart. During two yters in the nursery the plants grow about two feet. Then they are ready for transplanting into holes as described above. When the roots take hold firmly in their new location, the young trees are bent over and clamped to the ground by forked pins. This breaks the skin or bark some eight er-ten inches from the ground. From these breaks many little sprouts shoot upward. As soon as the heahhy ones can be distinguished, they are pruned down to four. This process makes for bushy trees. About five years later, writes Capt. M. M. Corpening, Guatemala City correspondent in the Chicago Tribune, the trees are ready to produce. In the meantime the soil must be kept clean and- the shade tree's ut a correct foliuge density. The grown coffee tree is about eight feet in diameter (maximum) and 12 feet high, and will last 30 to 40 years if cared for properly. All soil maintenance is by hand with hoes and machetes. Plows are taboo because they aid soil erosion. The coffee "bean when ripe is red, and if of good grade half an inch in diameter. The trees resemble cherry trees in good seasons The berries are hand picked by men with baskets strapped around their waists. This phase is piece work, at so much per 100 pounds picked. The harvest begins in November and lasts through to February. There is one crop per year. Chinaware Among Later Table Furnishings Used It was not until the Dutch East India company began trading with the Orient that china was introduced into the western world. This brought something entirely new in table furnishings to those who had been accustomed for generations to the dull, gray monotony of pewter or wooden ware. The desirability of this china was quickly recognized and the bright colors and its cleanness-pleasure to those possessing it. Delft ware was produced by the Italians in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth centuries. The method of covering a colored body with a white glaze, however, was not unknown to the Arabians and Persians, relates Alice R. Rollins in the Los Angeles Times. The Dutch followed the method of the Italians and in turn the English copied the technique of the Dutch. Holland produced a delft ware from 1650 to 1710, in imitation of the importations from China by the Dutch East India company, which maintained a port at Delft. The Dutch potters themselves exported their products to all parts of the world opened to them by trade and many potters migrated to foreign countries including England. It was the desire to create a white ware that led to the production of delft. The colored clay body was first fired, then dipped in a white glaze or enamel derived from binoxide of tin or stannic acid. Copernican System of Astronomy Copernicus, whose Polish name was Niknlaus Koppernigk, was born at Thurn, Prussian Poland, in 1473. He studied astronomy at the University of Krakow, then spent a number of years in Italy, studying medicine and canon law. About 1500 he lectured in Rome on mathematics and astronomy, then in 1512 he settled in Frauenberg, East Piussia, where he entered holy orders and became canon of the cathedra!. He is said to have been devoted to the performance of his duties and to have practiced medicine, giving his services free to the poor, but it was his discovery of th<* Copernican system of astronomy that made him famous after his death. His great work was probably completed in 1530 but was not published until 1543 when he lay dying. Dedicated to the pope, it described the sun as the center of a great system, with the earth one of the planets revolving about :t. Modern astronomy was built on the foundation laid down by Copernicus. Habits of Ant-Eaters In tropical countries there are large mammals known as ar.'-oater:> T 'hrive 'n 'he ant-eating line it is necessary that the creature should be armel with powerful limbs for tearing open the nests, and also be immune from the bites and stings. So Nature has provided it v. ,th a long, worm-like tongue, coated with a sticky substance wit), which it is able to lick up arge numbers of insects as they run ahou* in the wreckage of their home Some species of ant-eaters have no teeth, states a writer in London TitBits Magazine. In their place they have long, tubular jaws, for anb are small and need no biting; the length of the jaw assists them In their work, for they are able tc stick it into crevices and holes in which the ants attempt to escapa. Masked Dancing Girl Recalled Old Prospector Tells of Famed 'Silver Heels' of Mining Camps. F AIRPLAY, COLO.?The vision of "Silver Heels," mysterious masked dancing girl, formed Itself in the pipe smoke of Col. Henry Maher as the old prospector told the story of the beautiful girl whose strange name has been.a legend in Rocky mountain mining camps for more than two generations. Maher has spent most of his 80 years In the search for gold' and silver. He crimped the tobacco into his pipe and set down before his fireplace, recounting the story of the mysterious woman who earned for herself the name of the "Florence Nightingale of the mining cam pa." She was young. She was graceful. She was masked so well that she foiled all attempts to identify her. * The old miner's eyes gained a new brightness as he described her I ?the winsome woman who refused to reveal her face or her name. Named by Miners. So beautiful was she?and so capable a dancer?that the hard-bitten gold seekers christened her "Silvet Heels," after the metallic slippers she wore as she danced. "The girl was known only as Silver Heels. Without warning or advance billing she would appear mysteriously to dance in the cabarets in Park City. Alma, Montgomery and nearby nvning camps. Always she wa3 dressed beautifully ? a"i masked. "After her dance was finished she would disappear just as mysteriously. She ixver appeared in public without her face covered by a heavy veil or a mask. "There were imaginative accounts that she was a southern girl whose family had lost its fortune in the Civil war. These reports she ignored. "And she was 6s straight as a string," Colonel Maher emphasized. "Everybody loved and respected her because she wasn't like the 'garden variety' of dance-hall girl^ of that time. "I remember once a drunken gambler attempted to embrace her during a dance. I was only one of a score or more of men who virtually made mincemeat of him. Everyone Loved Her. "The real reason everyone loved her," he added, "was because she was an angel?an angel of mercy to the miners and their families. Often she would nurse an injured miner back to health. She was known to have grubstaked several of the boys whose luck failed them. Once she risked her life day and night for a week when a minor smallpox epidemic struck one of the camps." The dancejr lived in the mining district for a number of years. One day she disappeared as mysteriously as she had arrived. It was supposed that she returned to her home in the southland. "But we did the best we could toward preserving her memory. In fact, we gave her the highest honor the West can paya person," Maher declared. "One day a group of us were discussing the mineral possibilities of the surrounding mountains. One of the men pointed to one of the highest peaks in the axed. "That mountain is like Silver Heels," he said, 'Beautiful to look on and with a heart of gold.' " "Silver Heel mountain has had her name since that day. There's a mountain we can be proud of." Oklahoma Farm Woman Finds Trap Door Spicier MANGUM, OKLA.?A "trap door" spider, long a curiosity to the layman, has been captured by Mrs. Carl Longmire, a farm woman living south of Mangum. The spider's nest consists of a web-woven tube sometimes a foot long connected with a "trap door" top. The insect raises the side of the "hinged" door to leave the tube. Mrs. Longmire said at least 12 inches of tubular nest remained in the ground when she dug up the spider's home. All sides of the tube were encrusted witti hard earth. Brought here, the spider was lured from his tubular home with insect bait. The spider cautiously pushed aside the "trap door" before seeking the bait.
