Most localities can produce honey profitably. Generally speaking, apiaries may be kept any place where they will not cause trouble.

It is hard to believe that the pith of the corn stalk goes to Milady's dressing table in the form of face powder. It also finds a use as the insulating lining for refrigerators, as pipe covering, papier raache and novelty pottery. A corn plastic, Zein, is being made commercially and goes into buttons and other small articles. Corn oil is widely used as a food and also finds a place in pharmaceuticals. The refining process yields excellent feeds for poultry and livestock. Although corn starch usually is considered a food, it goes into the inedible products of more than 30 industries including the textile, paper making, laundry and wood manufacturing industries. Other uses are in the manufacture of fuel briquets, electric battery compounds for dry cells, adhesives and dusting rubber goods to prevent sticking.

POISONOUS SNAKES About 2,000 persons are bitten by snakes every summer, according to an estimate by Dr. Raymond Ditman, curator of reptiles of the New York Zoological Gardens, but it is believed that many cases are not reported to health authorities. It is also estimated that about 300 cases of snake bite, or approximately fifteen per cent, result fatally. Poisonous snakes are found in all the states of the Union except Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, and these consist of two principal families. One family is known as the pit viper, and includes copperheads, moccasins and several varieties of rattlesnakes. The other is the cobra family, represented in this country by a single species, the coral snake, found chiefly in the South. Snakes take their greatest toll of human life in India, whew the deadly cobra abounds, and snakebite deaths are estimated to reach as many as 20,000 in a year. ..The largest snakes, such as the boas and pythons, are not poisonous, but crush th«ir prey to death in their coils. The Malay reticulated python, largest of all, sometimes attains a length of thirty feet or m&re. By far the greater number of all snakes are non-poisonous, and therefore harmless. These include the well - known black snakes, garter snakes, water snakes, milk snakes and many others.
