IRRIGATION* Although the average afiiiiaal precipitation in Illinois is about 36 inches, there are some 200 irrigation systems in the state supplying water to about 9,000 acres, according to the water survey division of the Department of Registration and Education. Nearly half this irrigated acreage is in Cook and Kankakee counties and is devoted to truck and gladioli crops. Most' of the irrigating systems are composed of sprinklers and aluminum pipes. »«.

He says he (or she) is an upright American, who am I for? < JV'here I came from I was taught That Americans would, jnot ,be ashamed to sign their names to anything they write. My remarks about taieli apparently brought it on. There is a big difference between flag waving and studying history of countries that failed and why. No country can long endure where the government needs a*d takes over 25 per cent of the income of eitlzens to operate. History says this and with our present tax rates I am concerned for the welfare of our country. I am a citizen of the United States not of a political party like it appears my adversary is and blind at that. , Questions are being asked*about wireworm control in corn with lindane powder. The College of Agriculture does not feel too en- {ft'fcused about this ' treatment because it sometimes effects the germination of corn and is not 100 per cent control. H. B. Petty, entomologist, says to apply* the dry powder to corn in the planter, plant in favorable germination conditions, do not plant i-ery deep, follow manufacturers' recommendations on amounts. They do say they have observed only per cent to 15 per cent damage ' w irhere lindane was applied and replanting was necessary where It was not used. The College of Agriculture is planning a "dairy--day" for Sept. S at the University. In view of the fact that the dairy farming of Illinois is located in each end of the state we suggested they have two days, one in northern Illinois and one in the St. Louis area. .^They are going to concentrate on '•one this year half way between. I'm sure it will cut the attendance when the average dairyman will have to travel over 100 miles one •ay to get there. My argument is that a dafirym& n can't get away much beffere 8 o'clock and must be home not later than 5 so hHi day is limited. He can't get a neighbor to do .his chores either because the nei&h hor has all he can do to get his ™wn done. Speaking of protein in feed, ©r. T. S. Hamilton of the College of .Agriculture says it will be a long time before corn will be sold «on tt protein content basis. It . is an energy feed and protein content la not easily determined. He said maximum yield of any crop will jwually find that crop at its best from the stand-point of quaAty yr&nd feeding value. He said water and fertilizer has more effect on yield than on composition. #•. Again using the marrow plots Urbana, the oldest test plotjp 111 the U. S., for reference, the 1951 was the eighth consecutive year in which Illinois traffic accidents have increased*in number. Reports of 216,647 accidents were filed with the Division of Highways by motorists in compliance with the requirements of the Illinois Traffic Act. This is an increase of 5 per cent over the 265,- 517 cases reported in 1950. Tliis ' does not tell the" Whole ever, the yield may, J be- s<focy^ however. -In the ft^rtt half American WomenjHave Voting Right Through Susan Anthony's Efforts' Choice Oils One of the .Aoicest oils used In perfumes is that of the rose^and two of these are outstanding in quality: Rose de Mai from France and Attar of Rose from Bulgaria. Used in almost every perfume made, the rose oil gives richness, depth and smoothness to the bouquet, lending a warm, persistent note. Many perfumes contain only enough rose te give these important qualities to the scent, so that many times the rose fragrance itisUis not detectable. e .a i New Testament The first printed version at the New Testament appeared in England in 1528. reports Wert inquired fbr prorf^rty damage accidents .with more thato J&0 ilaniiige" but in ttie lat tat-half .xtt Xhe year the minimum property damage requirement was raised to $100. This had ,tlie (effect ol reducing the number of accidents reported daring the latter half of the year but this reduction w%s not enough to prevent another annual increase. Since the statistics for the whole year are not directly comparable with 1950, a better idea of the prevalence of accidents in 1951 can be gained by comparing monthly totals in the first half of 1951. In Janua'ry and February accident increases of more than 30 per cent were registered. These may be treated as abnormal increases due to widely different' weather conditions. During the next 4 months the 1951 increases were 18, 16, 28 and 14 per cent respectively. These average out at 19 per cent and it is a reasonable estimate that traffic accident occurrence in 1951 was 19 per cent in excess of the experience in 1950. It is of gre^t interest to note that during the past year the Illinois Traffic Safety Council has perfected its organization and has made some progress along these Ikies. It has assisted in the organization of traffic safety commissions or committees in several counties and has helped the counties to initiate their traffic safety programs. This aid will undoubtedly be sought by additional counties in 1952. If this work is expanded and carried forward vigorously the day may colhe when an annual reduction in the number of traffic accidents in Illinois can be reported. Susan B. Anthony, the great feminist and woman's rights advocate, was 1n Alice-sit-by-the-fire compared to Queen Hatshepsut whd reigned over Egypt more than 3000 years ago. For almost thirty years, while she ruled Egypt unofficially.

They describe W ii "a vigorous, brilliant, and strong-minded woman who came forth on state occasions clad in the garments of a man. She wore the short kilt and sandals and the great warhelmet of the Pharaohs and even attached to her chin the Pharaoh's long false beard." Statues and paintings found in the ruins of the magnificent temple that she had ordered to be bulit near Thebes, show her in this strange attire. Thutmose III, whom she had deposed, did not get to rule Egypt again until the day Hatshepsut died. Miss Anthony, who dedicated her life to the cause of woman's rights during the 19th cehtury, was of a somewhat more conservative nature when ife^ came to both personal i/ronouns»and personal attire, probably because of her Quaker background.
