RADIO BEAMS BEINQ USED IN PROCESSING TOBACCO lUehmoud, Vs.?H looks as though American Industrial research has cored again. This time it's the use of short wave radio for drying tobacco by a new process. An engineer here has successfully removed moisture from tobacco with the aid of a 60,000-watt radio seudiug unit shootiug radio waves through the leaves." Under the new method tho tobacco is moved from the warehouse floor, into hogsheads, which are put lu a heavy metal oylinder, which by use of steam becomes a vacuum. The radio waves are theu shot through the tobacco. j Vacuum evaporation removes the moisture and the radio impulses keep the temperature constant, preventing the tobacco being ruined in drying.

In spite of all that Tommy Tit the Chickadee and Chatterer the Red Squirrel had told them about the kindness which Farmer, Brown's Boy had learned they still distrusted him. But now with Mr. Blacksnake actually looking in at the door of their home and making ready to swallow" their Ave helpless babies, they forgot their distrust, xney new almost to him, then back toward the tree, all the time crying in the most pitiful way. v Of course Farmer Brown's Boy couldn't understand what they s&id, but he knew fight away what they meant. They meant for him to hurry, to please hurry and help them. So he did hurry, and when he saw Mr. Blacksnake he hurried still faster. Mr. Blacksnake saw him coming., He drew back from the doorway of Drummer's home and hissed angrily. He pretended to be very fierce, and by so doing tried to ! frighten Farmer Brown's Boy as he had ao often frightened others. But rBfcnfter Brown's Boy knows all! about Mr. Blacksnake and how hi |MNi a great wcoward and only p**tead* to be brave. J^d "HI* there!" he yelled, end threw ] the gtone he held in hie hand. It* away he forgot all about those young " V Woodpeckers he had planned to eat for his dinner. He didn't have room for but one thought and that was to get away as quickly as possible. He saw that Farmer Brown's Boy wasn't afraid .of him, and he was afraid, very much afraid, of Farmer Brown's B6y. He turned and began to glide swiftly down the tree. Farmer Brown's Boy rushed forward brandishing a long stick. JKill him! Kill him!" shrieked Chatterer. "Kill him! .Kill him!" shrieked Sammy Jay. "Kill him! Kill him!" shrieked Drummer and Mrs. Drummer, and all the other feathered folk of the Old Orchard. --? " Farmer Brown's Boy fully intended to do it. As Mr. Blacksnake slipped from the tree t Farmer "Brown's Boy raised the long stick, meaning to bring it down on Mr. J Blacksnake's head and kill him. But he didn't.' You see at just that very minute he changed his mind. It had [ come over.him all of a sudden that Mr. - Blacksnake had just as much | right to live as he had. He was one of. Old Mother Nature's big family just as, much as was Drummer the Woodpecker. In trying to get a dinner of helpless young Woodpeckers ! he was no worse than a lot of other little people, and rjqt so had as hunters who with dreadful guns go out to kill birdp and little animals, not ! because they really need them to eat, but for what they call sport. He remembered, too, a lot of things he had found out. about Mr. Blacksnake and some of hi* relatives?that they really do a great deal of good, more good than harm. "I don't want to kill him," thought he. "What I want to do is to scare him so that he'll never want to come back to Drummer's house again and will think a long time before he will visit may other nests." So Farmer Brown's JBoy brought the stkk down close beside Mr. Blacksnake instead of on him, and kept doing it as he chased him through the Old Orchard half down to the Green Meadows, all the time yelling at him and altogether giving him the worst scare he ever had known.. "That's a whole lot better than killing him," said Farmer Brown's Boy ss he stopped to get his breath. And though Chatterer the Red Squirrel end Dmmmer the Woodpecker didn't think so, and said mm much, it " "*r ' #? "T ' 80 Farmer . Brown's Boy brought the stick down close beside Mr. Blaeksnake instead of on him. HOMEGROWN SEEDS PRODUCE BEST THEES Clemtinn, Sept. Id.?Seeds from I trees In tho backyard or along a I ijelghbor'a fence are likely to produce better trees than those from far places, says M 11. Bruuer, extension | forester of Clemspn College. Bruuer ik>Iihs that the U, 8, He- ! partment of Agriculture now plants only trees from local seeds for its work In erosion control and reforestation. Local seeds are considered to be those obtained within 100 miles of the planting site aud with a difference In elevation of not more than 1000 I feet. Ho QUQtee t he U. 8. Forest, Service, which plants about 160 million trees a year: ' Trees must be thoroughly adapted to the climate of the planting site." , ' ' Measurement of lobboly plue plantations at Bogalusa. La., 10 years after establishment proved that source of seed Is Important In reforestation. The plantations consisted originally of 200 trees each from four seed lots obtained from Louisiana, Texas Arkansas, and Qeorgia. These seeds were planted in the same nursery bed at Bogalusa. and the resulting seedlings were planted on cut-over * longleaf pineland. Ten yeara later Forest Service Investigators found that the local stock from Louisiana had grown nearly 16 feet, the Texas stock 13 and one-half feet, the Oeorgla stock 11 and one-half feet, and the Arkansas stock only 11 feet. Even greater differences in favor1 of local stock were shown by the percentage of trees infected with gall. Qall Infection was found on 3.6 percent of Louisiana stock; 7 percent of the Texas stock; 10.2 percent of Arkansas stock; and 61 percent of Georgia stock. Home-grown seed are collected every year by the 8outh Carolina Forest Service that provide the trees for reforestation purposes In the state. This accounts partly for the success of their rpogram In South Carolina, says Mr. Bruner. * TO THE 80UTH The movement of manufacturing industries toward the South has been a notable feature of recent years. * It has been going on In a natural manner for twenty years, but during the past Ave It has been stimulated until It Is now a factor in national production, and a mark of the change in the regional setup In the country. Mississippi, traditionally an. agricultural state, laBt year actually produced manufactured products whose value exceeded that of its farm products. It has done this without developing any great Industrial cities. The industries which have developed have sprung up In small towns, usually at places where raw materials could be processed on the ground. The face of the country and Its regional characteristics are changing before our very eyes, and as usually is the case In such things, the changes will, probably be largely accomplished before we realize It.?Greenville Piedmont.
