On the other hand production in the •Southwest, which produces seed not we,II adapted to the corn belt, is reported to be 50 per cent above 1936, and the heaviest importation of foreign unadapted alfalfa seed in ten years was made in 1936-37 Supplies of red clover seed, are also short for 1938. United' States production in 1937""is; .estimated- at 30,000,000 pounds--only half the average annual consumption: and the* smallest crop since 1926. Greatest decreases occurred in the corn belt states, where the seed is grown. Although there is little if any carryover of domestic red clover seed from the 1936 crop, approximately 3,000,000 pounds of imported seed not adapted to the corn belt are carried over. • - The 1937 crop of sweet clover seed, estimated at 54;000,000 pounds for the United States, was the largest since 1929. However, the carryover is comparatively small despite a larger crop than estimated and importations of more than 7,400,000 pounds, the largest importation on record. The rapid disappearance was caused by the low price as compared with red clover seed. Even with a below-normal Carryover of lespedeza seed into 1938 from the short crops of 1936 and 1935, supplies for 1938 plantings are believed to be ample. Supplies of most grass seed seem adequate. The large 1937 timothy crop assures a supply in excess of anticipated needs in 1938. Total United States production is estimated at 90,000,000 pounds, one of the largest crops in recent years. Likewise, the 1937 bumper crop of Kentucky bluegrass seed assures adequate supplies for 1938. Production of red top seed is estimated at 18,000,000 pounds, which, is in excess of annual consumption, and a liberal carryover of Sudan grass seed and a large 1937 crop will be ample for 1938 seeding. Measles is now running a major epidemic course in Illinois. A sharp upward trend of prevalence began late in November, reaching a reported incidence of about 400 new cases daily during the second week in January and has since continued at about the same level. Distribution is general through^ out the State. Past experience indicates that the epidemic will not begin to recede significantly until late in March or April. Prior to November, 1937, Illinois had been exceptionally free from j every morning measles since July 1935. During those day's work. FOURTH OF SERIES ON THE TEETH AND THEIR PRESERVATION v y Not the least important in £he preservation of teeth is HOME CARE. By this we hiean that part of the care of the mouth land teeth which the individual must practice at home. The teeth should be brushed after each meal, but as that is sometimes impossible, a good plan would be to brush them every night before going to bed and before starting the twenty-seven months only 8,449 cases were reported compared with 57,586 during the first seven months of 1935 and approximately 18,000 cases to date during the three months since food particles may be removed from venting dental disease is to supply the as little water as possible or better October 1937. f u~' " TT *--- * " ^ " ' • - Measles is one of the most readily communicable of all infections begin- When we speak of BRUSHING we do not mean a listless and hapless process, hut a vigorous brushing on all surfaces of the teeth, so that all the may be used for cleansing. The proper brushing technique is of very great importance and your dentist should be your guide since the brushing should be varied to individual needs. Much time is spent in our daily grooming but how much of that time is spent on our teeth ? One may safely say a few seconds. A child- should be taught the use of the tooth brush at the early age of two and' one-half to three years, or in other words, as soon as the baby teeth are in place. Children at this age have a tendency to copy or imitate. Therefore, if brushing of the teeth ts a hahit of the mother and father, it will most certainly become a habit of the child.

From 200 300 fatalities per year are. common |ti Illinois during epidemic periods. Dur^ ing one year, 1923, there were 576, deathb attributed to measles. About three-fourth of all mortality from measles is among children under five y^ans of age and pneumonia is usually the precipitating cause of death. This emphasizes the importance of good medical and nursing care of patients. Measles can be prevented or modified by the use of convalescents' serum or whole blood drawn from a parent of a child. Injected in proper dosage within three or four days after exposure to measles usually prevents illness entirely but the immunity so established is of short duration, two of three weeks. Smaller doses given early after exposure or standard doses given after the fourth or, fifth day from exposure does not prevent but usually causes illness to run a mild course and leaves the patient permanently immune after recovery. i China Supplies Tungst«a Sixty per cent of tungsten, that rare whitish - gray metal, cornea from China to the United States.

' , V Four Hudson 112 cars, off on a 10,000-mile teat run, each piloted by a famous race driver. Inset shows the four race drivers who are testing the new Hudson 112. Left to right: Babe Stapp, Ira Vail, J. E. Schipper, Director of Public Relations, Hudson Motor Car Company, Cbet Miller and Ted Horn. Four of America's leading race drivers, Babe Stapp, Tted Horn, Chet Miller and Ira Vail are out on individual 10,000 mile test runs with the nety Hudson 112, the latest entry in the lowest price field. These drivers are putting the four cars through their paces in widely scattered parts of the country so that all climatic and road conditions will be encountered. The cars and their famous drivers have H&k been on the road since January 11. - Babe Stapp, well-known California driver who has bet-n up in the money -consistently at Indianapolis, took off immediately for his home state. He arrived in Los Angeles in four days, with runs of over 900 miles per day. He is now running up and down the Pacific coast with a mixture of mountain and desert running which gives a wide range of temperature and road conditions.' Owing to the nature of the country, Stapp can put an infinite variety of experience into his daily reports to the Hudson factory. TVd Horn, who ranks second in the AAA Contest Board Championship standing this year and who was third at Indianapolis in the last race, is now on his way back from Austin, Texas via Waco, Dallas, Wichita and Des Moines. He will be in Detroit this week end and then off on another lap. Chet Miller who is also a consistent "money man", in the big AAA races, is completing a lap. which took him through Tennessee, Alabama and Florida, down the West coast and up the East, touching at Tampa and over the Tlsmiami trail to Miami. His route lay through the Big Smokey mountains. Ira Vail whom all know as on» of. the real old-timers of racing fama.. has had the "snow and ice assign- • ment." He has been through the mountains of Pennsylvania and Ke-v York State.

Holds Heat Reflection Affects Poultry Housed It is a matter well known in the industrial and scientific world of today that under certain conditions heat is reflected, and under certain^ other conditions it is absorbed. Heat reflection and heat absorption are" matters of degree, notes a corre-" spondent in Hoard's Dairyman, and as one increases in any given case the other decreases. Colors make a difference in this respect, dark colors absorbing heat while light colors reflect it.
