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 Texas, during the }937 holiday
season, tumbleweeds, wired together

F FARMER BROWN'S BOY
CHANGES HIS MIND
I F)
RUMMER THE WOODPECKER
and Mrs. Drummer actually
flew to meet Farmer Brown's Boy
when they saw him comingHhrough
the Cild Orchard with a stick in one
hand and a stone in the other. 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

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
