Bonner, writing in “Our Dumb Animals,” says, “The crow is considered an undesirable neighbor in most agricultural communities. “Farmers charge him with pull ing up sprouting com, pecking holes in their melons and other mischievous and destructive deeds, but they lose sight of the bird’s serviceable work of followjng in the wake of the plowman’s fur rows, and picking out from the fresh unturned sod, legions of worms, field mice, larvae and the tike, which if not destroyed would in time damage the growing croo. “One should not forget the mil lions of flies, spiders, caterpillars, grasshonpers and grubs. not to overlook weed-seed, all of which go to make up the bird’s menu. The cawing fellow might really be given the sobriquet of ‘G-bird’, because of his untiring work of helning to rid the field, orchard and garden world of the ever-increasing insect menace. It is a regrettable fact, however, that this useful bird, who does his part in keeping the insect-public-ene mies under control, has so many hands turned against him. No country, state or federal law pro tects him, and in certain commu nities a reward is offered for his head.” INVENTION profits If you can invent something new and useful, for which people xre willing to pay money, you can make a million dollars—maybe. It has been done, and it is being lone all the time. We Americans are the most in ventive people in the world. It is in our blood. Our pioneer fore bears had to invent or starve. They were tackling the job of set tling and developing a raw, new land with nothing much but their bare hands to work with. Tools and machines that would do more work than men alone could do, and do it faster, are what have made our country what it is, the most prosperous and best-equipped nation in the whole world. I know and have known many inventors. Most of them have had inflated ideas of what their in vention was worth. What few realize is that it takes a lot of money and time to develop a new invention into marketable form. Unless somebody is willing to take the speculative chance of large profits by financing the development of a new invention, there is little chance of making a million for the inventor. There is a new idea being talk ed about in Washington—the idea that inventors should be required to license anybody who wants to use their patents. Nothing aould mere effectively stifle invention; for the inventor’s chance of profit lies in the seventeen-year mo nopoly which the patent laws give him. Nobody is going to spend the money to develop an invention if the whole world can share the profits. GLASS non-shattering I received an invitation the other day from the Franklin In stitute of Philadelphia to attend a dinner in honor of the people who have spent some six million dol lars to perfect a single invention, a new type of safety glass for automobiles. The guests of honor were the representatives of five great cor porations, the du Pont company, Libbey-Owens-Ford glass company, Monsanto Chemical Co., Pitts burgh Plate Glass company and Carbon & Carbide Chemical Cor poration. Those great corporations are not the inventors, of course, of the idea of a “glass sandwich,” with a sheet of tough plastic material between two sheets of glass to keep the car windows and wind shield from shattering in case of accident. The patents of the orginal in ventors, an Englishman named Wood and a Frenchman named Benedictus, expired long ago. The safety glass made under those original patents was net good enough, so the glass-makers and chemical companies joined forces to try to find a better way tc make still safer glass. Hundreds cf laboratory workers experimented for six years before ;he new kind of plastic “filler” fo: afety glass was perfected anc eady to put on the market. Thai s the way most of the great nev iventions cf modern times are le vc loped. DEAS iron? Many people have a notion tha 11 an inventor has to do to ge ich is to think up a new idea We’ve all had ’em. But you can’ patent an idea; you can paten only a machine, device or methoc chat will make the idea work. An' ^hc.t usually takes a lot of time and money. In this column seven or eight yer rs ago I told of a young Yankee mechanic who got an idea from watching the firebox door of the steam boiler in the factory where he worked. It “buckled” or chang ed its shape whenever the tem ps ature got too high. The idea hr got, from noticing that, was f' r an attachment for electric firtirons which would automatic al: / throw off the current when tt iron got too hot. Just a few weeks ago I learned what had come of young John S:.rgent’s idea. He took it to Professor Vannever Bush of Mass achusetts Institute of Technology, who interested some capitalists in it. It took eight million dollars to perfect the invention and com- mercialize it, but Prof. Bush told me recently that more than ten million electric irons are now equipped with the Sargent ther- mcstatic control, and it is being used in many other lines as well. The young inventor has got ich but it took a lot of other people’s money to make his in vention make money for him and FGO - ) meats We naturally think that, after Tme millions cf years of human experience with foods, there isn’t anything more to learn about the things we' eat. But scientific investigators have been working at the Mellon Insti tute of Industrial Research for four years on the problem of mak ing all beefsteaks tender, and now they’ve got it. Dr. M. D. Coulter of the Insti tute announced the other day that by exposing meat to ultra-violet rays for two days the toughest “critter” becomes as easy to chew as a piece of cheese. The promise is held out that this new methoc will not increase the cost of meat tc the consumer, so everybody can look forward to having tender roasts, steaks, potroasts and ham burgers, such as only the well-to- do enjoy now. Who hasn’t wished that hg could increase his physical energy and endurance by “taking some thing?” The newest biological discovery is that you can find that “something” right in the kitchen shelf at home. Dr. G. R. Ray of the Long Island College Hospital, reporting on the results of a long series of experiments on all sorts of people, from athletes to office workers, says that ordi nary gelatine will do the trick. Plain, unflavored gelatine mixed with water, orange juice or what have you, a couple of ounces a day, not only adds to one’s physi cal pewer but increases mental energy and activity. Other re searchers have confirmed Dr. Ray’s observations. .Anything hould grow at least enough yel low corn to feed their chickens! County Agent D. Austin Shelley advises. Yellow corn contains vitamii A, which white corn does not con tain. This vitamin is necessai to make hens lay well; to make the eggs hatch best; to make chicks grew fastest; and to pre vent an eye disease known asl ophthalmia or nutritional rouplj which is very similar to commori) roup except that the discharge! from the eye is whiter and doesJ not have the disagreeable odor as] in common'roup. \ About 45 bushels of yellow corn 1 together with other ingredients 1 will be required to brood 306 chicks and grow 100 pullets out of this brood to laying age, and one bushel is required for eadh. hen in the flock per year. From these facts and the approximate yield of com per acre, the agent suggests that the farmer decide how much <56rn to plant for poul try. Yellow com, as a rule, is an early-maturing corn and to get the largest yield, it should be grown on fertile soil. If seed is used from yellow com which has been grown in the state lor some, years the yield is as good as that obtained from white corn. Trials at Experiment Stations in South Carolina in 1937 show that Mill’s Yellow Dent, Marrett’s Yel low Chief, and Wood’s Improved Golden Dent yield about as much corn per acre as common white varieties. There are probably other good varieties of yellow com. WANT ADY.
