coarse wools has been reported by univer sity of wyoming this tendency is a direct reversal of that found in fine wools where the greatest shrink ages usually are observed in the short staple or french combing wools longer or staple wools in me dlum and coarser grades from half blood down to quarter blood shrink more than the shorter wool this assertion is based on shrinkage de terminations on fleeces of different grades and lengths within each grade which the wool department made on the 1944 and 1945 wyo ming clips shrinkages for staple and french combing wool in three different grades of coarse wool follow half blood 62 0 60 8 threeelghtha blood 60 2 57 4 and quarter blood 55 1 m 6 respectively the same sam pling showed a shrinkage of 62 9 per cent for fine btaple wool and 65 6 per cent for fine french combing wool part of the heavier shrinkage in the staple or longer wools of the coarser grades b attributed to a larger content of dirt and sand the difference in dirt content between the shorter and longer wools in the threeeights blood and quarter blood grades amounted to around 3 per cent knox congregation have annual meeting rev alex caldcr was chairman for the annual

of the settlement of alta california by the franciscan fathers in 1769 the first real signs of commercial fruit production did not appear until the days of the gold rush in 1849 commercial produc tion of deciduous fruits in california is of comparatively recent origin according to california fruit ex change the tree fruits which were pro duced about the early missions of the franciscan monks were grown chiefly from seeds brought to call forma by vessels bearing supplies for the missions as gardens and orchards were planted at practically all of the missions it was not long before a number of varieties of fruit were to be found there as early as 1792 there were grow ing near mission san jose apples pears apricots pi aches and flp and at mission san buenaventma in addition to these oranges limes grapes olives and pomegranates although there were not more than 5 000 bearing trees in the various missions at that time these plant ings contributed much to the growth of horticulture in the state makes bricks from ashe a new process has been devel oped for making building bricks out of hitherto worthless ashes from the smokestacks of public utility plants american public works association reports that the new type bricks were developed at the new jersey atate ceramics station raw mate rials used to make the bricks are fly ash from industrial and utility smokestacks and slag from the bot toms of furnaces which burn pow dered coal the inventors claim their new bricks are stronger and cheaper than thoie mnde of clav another advantage they claim is that raw materials are most plenti ful in cities where building mate rial is most needed now industrial plants generally must have fly ash hauled away to avoid creating a smoke nuisance utility companies alone it is estimated produce about two million tons of fly ash and slag each year eggs can breathe eggs breathe through the air cell which is immediately formed when the egg cools and almost always at the large end of the egg says the california department of agricul hire eggs packed with the air cells up maintain better quality when an egg is packed with its big end or air cell end down the weight of the egg meat is against the air cell and it literally smothers and will lose qual ity two or three times faster than would be the cas if the egg were packed with the small end down poultrymen who pack thousands of cases of eggs on their ranches daily can help preserve the quality of their eggs and offer the consumer a better product by packing the big ends up eggs with ruptured air celts or displaced yolks caused by improper handling or packing deteri orate faster than the lower grades potatoes before rationing englishmen who are bemoaning the rationing of potatoes might and tome consolation in the fact that many of the greatest englishmen of history never had a single spud be side their bully beef rations car ried by king arthurs men certainly contained no such stsrchy vege table nor did robin hood and little john ever plot against the sheriff while munching a steaming spud in sherwood forest the reason for all this explains world book encyclo pedia is the fact that england never had a potato before the 1500s ac cording to history potatoes were first found in the new world hy early explorers who brought the plant back to europe potatoes were eagerly accepted by
