He is Dr. A. F. Schalk, chairman of the department of preventive veterinary medicine at Ohio State university, Columbus. It was Schalk who, while servtng as a veterinary professor in North Dakota, originated a highly successful surgical technique for a "window" in the bovine paunch, so that he could watch the food arrive in the stomach, learn Inr It was handled there and find ettt how cattle digest different kinds of feeds and. convert them into meat and milk for man. He mad* his research findings available to other scientists, showed themhow to perform the operation, snd*k*d a mpvieaoodelbr use to veterinary college instruction, recording the digestive processes aeen through the gastric fistula, as this window la called. The award, which was cited on an engraved scroll and accompasM by a check lor $1,000, alao gave recognition to Schalk's part in the discovery that consuming damaged sweet clover hay produces a hemorrhagic, often fatal cattle disease and that transfusions of specially processed blood bring out a "spectacular recovery." A chemical in the damaged hay, dicoumar in, which causes the bleeding^ now is being used widely in human and animal surgery to prevent faUl blood clots.

The tall, smoke-pouring chimneys of FUn Flon rise in the heart of the dominion, in the rocky, lakeapattered region that geologists call the Canadian Shield; notes National Geographic society. How the town got its name is uncertain, but specialists in tall tales have evolved some colorful legends to explain it. One of the best tells how, early prospectors in the neighborhood found a lurid dime novel whose hero was riamed Joseph Flin^abbaty . Fiona tin. After a series of fabulous travels, this Flintabbaiy Flonatin had come to a hidden land ruled by Amazons, where gold was so plentiful that tin was used for money. The end of the novel unfortunately was torn off, preventing further knowledge of the secret land. Then one of the prospectors came on a great hole in the earth full of gold-bearing ore. "I've found Flin Flon's mine," he exclaimed. And so the town that sprung up was named. The present Flin Flon ore body came to light in 1915. Because of World War I, 'little at first was done about it. Gradually, as investments rolled up to more than 38 million dollars, this mine grew Into one of the biggest zinc and copper producers of the continent. Flin Flon now has a population of 8,000 to 9,000. The town, a typical mining settlement of rambling frame buildings, is built steeply on a hill.

Potential value of the sugarcane breeding material which has been collected in the tropical belt and other areas during the past 30 years is reckoned in millions. It is the U. S. department of agriculture nursery from which parent stock for most of the improved hybrid commercial varieties of sugarcane has come in recent years. Much or it could not be replaced. The cane plants in a 90-acre Held near Lake Okeechobee were flattened by the first hurricane and then flooded when another storm breeched the dike holding the lake waters. The second hurricane alao uprooted about 100 trees which fell on the prostrate cane. Although it involved many hasards and required the most careful planning, underwater salvage by teams of men working from boats offered the only practical method of retrieving the cane plants from the chaotic tangle in the deep water. So efficiently was this difficult task carried out by Maj. Baseom A. Btelcher and his eight associates that' more than 96 per cent of this stock of valuable cane varieties was saved. ^iUgitantrieto faffing^from tractor; (3) leaving power take-off parts Unguarded: (4) catching loose dotfctsg In moving parts; (5) oiling or adjusting tractor *vhlle In operation, and (6) failing to <eep children off of factors.

The former outnumber the latter. |, W Egg Quality Insures good egg pricea. That* a why farmers and pouttrysaen must be more alert to keeping up quality, says Extension Poultry Specialists. First of all, the experts say, fertile eggs germinate unless they are kept below 65 degrees temperature and germination means low quality. Get rid of the rooster in the flock. Since clean eggs come from clean hfcn houses, it is necesstir^to have plenty of clean, dry litter on the floor and in the nests all the time. A wire mesh over the droppings pits will help keep the eggs clean. 0 Hens confined the yesr around lay eggs in which the quality-- both outside and inside--can be closely controlled. The hen house should have at least one nest for every four or five birds. This will cut down crowding and egg breaking and give the eggs s chance to cool in the nests. Collect eggs often, not less than twice a day. Use of a wire basket will permit them to cool off faster. Don't peck eggs into crates until they are.cool. Insulating qualities of crates prevent warm eggs from cooling. Pack eggs with the large end up. Otherwise the air cell and the yolk tend to work to the top and flat Electricity oa Farms again lowers the egg quality.
