[Two Egg Grades Provided ]\cw by / U. S. Department .Officials Believe Quality Pro duction Will Be Stimu lated by Simpler Grading. Lincoln. June 8.—Buyers' egg grades have been siftiplified by the United States Department of Agriculture, ac cording to information received by A. E. Anderson, federal crops and livestock statistician. Only two grades are now provided, the statis tician said. Grade No. 1 consists of eggs of an overage weight of 24 ounces net per dozen, with a minimum weight at the late of 22 ounces per dozen for indi vidual eggs. The shell shall he prac tically clean and sound; the air cell shall be of a depth of three-eighths of an Inch or less, localized, and may be slightly tremulous; the yolk may be visible and mobile; the white reason ably firm, and the development of the germ may be slightly visible. These are the government require ments. The federal grading provides that grade No. 2 shall be of eggs having average weight of 22 ounces net per dozen, with minimum weight at the rate of IS ounces per dozen for in dividual eggs; the shell clean or dirty, hut sound; the air ceil having a depth of over three-eighths of an inch and freely mobile; the yolk plainly visible and freely mobile; the white weak and watery and the germ development plainly visible. "Despite heavy production of eggs In prospect this year, the supply of eggs of high quality will not be ex cessive and will bring better prices, proportionately than ordinary eggs,” Anderson said. "The department is urging farmers and poultrymen to produce high quality eggs and to mar ket them where quality is appreciated and well paid. Under the present system of buying at a flat price, the producer of good quality eggs Is pen alized, whereas the careless producer, whose eggs are poor or bad, receives more than lie is Justly entitled to re ceive. Use of this buyers’ egg grade _is expected to correct this situation.’’ The agricultural statistician de clared that the services of the county agents over the country was being enlisted in a campaign to bring about this marketing according to quality. "It is felt that the complicated system of gradings used for wholesale trade at terminal markets Is too involved to use at country points, lienee this sim ple set,'* he continued. "When buyers pay prices for eggs based on quality, an incentive is Im mediately offered producers to bring forth eggs of the higher quality. Use of the new grades requires candling by the buyers. This information may be obtained from the county agents or the department of agriculture." Scotch Buy Irish 0 Rum for Export Which Explains Opposition in the Dail to Treaty Against Rum Running. / Dublin, June 8. — Hum running interests and whfsky makers were be hind the recent opposition In the dail to ratification of the Brltlsh-Amer ioan liquor treaty, according to state ments made by a high government official. “Distilleries, especially In north Ireland, have been dsing a rushing business those last few years,” this official said “I do not mean those distilleries which cater to the high class trade and which always use the pot-still method of whisky mak ing. It Is the small distilleries that are reaping the harvest. “These distilleries export the spirits, which Is frequently but a few months old, to Scotland for blending. The Scotch distillers cannot get enough made malt to satisfy the de mand. and in consequence whisky making establishments here are work ing day and night to satisfy the de mand from Scotland. “I do not believe that there Is much smuggling of Irish whisky to America. That article is no longer popular in the United States. But huge sums are being made, nevertheless, and If rumrunning Is entirely stopped It will be a severe blow to the ‘trade.’ Consequently those engaged In thp business, both here and In Scotland, worked up opposition to the proposal ♦o search suspected rum ships on the high seas. They hoped that If their opposition was successful there would be some loophole whereby ships flying the Irish flag could be engaged In the rum fleet more advantageously than ships flying the British flag.” Curious Ship Will Carry British Fighting Planes Uondon, June 8.—Britain's largest and latest aircraft carrier, the Her mes. has Just been commissioned for service with the British Atlantic fleet. Dubbed as the most curious-looking ship In the British nnvy, the Hermes Is claimed to be the last word In air craft carriers. One of Its unusual features Is that the mast, funnel and superstructure are all built on the starboard side of the vessel, leaving a large deck for aeroplanes to take off and alight. It has two hangars fitted below deck" accommodating 20 aeroplanes, which are raised to the flylng-off deck by means of electric elevators. African Town Will Have Free Natural Hot Water Johannesburg, June 8.—Windhoek, a small town In southwest Africa, stakes Its claim to be the only town in the world that can boast of a natural hot water service. Windhoek possesses a hot water n.inerat spring, and, by means of pipes, the spring is to be connected v.ith the water supply, making It possible for citizens to take a hot ]>ath at any time of the day without stoking up the kitchen range. The municipal authoiltles claim that the water from the spring is most healthful, and that the water is very efficacious in cases of jaundice a»d other similar complaint*. Canadian Inventor Builds Machine to Ri d Fields of Grassho ppers Following Severe Plague of Pests _ —---*-* p*----—a Crushes Insects Between Wooden Rollers—Mechan ism May Be Adjusted for Height of Crops. By M. E. DAVIDSON. Windthorst, Saskatchewan. Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. This machine was Invented by Robert Hawkins of Windthorst, Sask., for exterminating grasshopers. It In very simple In construction and is de signed to crush the Insects of varying sizes between rollers which revolve rapidly. The machine Is adapted to the speed of horses nnd the rollers turn four times with each revolution of the drive wheels. There are six rollers,-"'each 10 feet long and five inches in diameter. They* work easily and are adjusted to kill the grasshop pers without crushing them complete ly The rollers are constructed of hard wood and a curtain of tin is attached to the back and sides to prevent the insects from flying out as they fall back upon the rollers when they strike against the curtain. The rol lers work from a table, the second and fourth being turned by chains connected with the drive wheels while the other four rollers are propelled by friction. Springs are arranged at the ends of the rollers which make It possible for a stone to pass between them. In which case they Immediately return to their former position. A lever is arranged to raise or lower the ma chine to suit the crop or the condition of <he land. A tray is attached below the rollers to catch the dead grass hoppers which may be fed to poultry. The machine will pass through a gate but in case a larger crusher Is wanted, the rollers are constructed 14 and 18 feet long and the horses separated by a longer neck yoke and other necessary adjustments. There is no elaborate mechanism to confuse the driver as the machine requires no attention beyond raising and lowering the table and using a lubricant. A woman or boy can easily drive the crusher. During the first demonstration at Windthorst, Sask., it was driven by a woman. A report of this demonstration was sent to the department of agriculture and Hawkins was instructed to ex hibit the machine at Jamieson, Sask.. where a second demonstration was hold. It was also on exhibition at the Regina fair later where it attracted a great deal of attention. It has been patented in Canada and a patent ap plied for in the United States in 1922. The inventor, Robert Hawkins, came to this country 20 years ago from England where he had been em ployed as a tank riveter. He resides on a farm adjoining Windthorst, Sask., having come here from Gren fell, Saslt., some time ago. Four years ago the grasshopers were very numerous in this locality and Hawkins invented the crusher to destroy the pest and save his crop. He finally worked out the idea and pro ceeded to construct and perfect the machine as it is today. Reports Indicate Trade Improving Throughout 11. S. o Dullness in Stock Market Merely Reflecting Depres sion in Steels and Few Other Issues. * x - By RII HAKII SP1I.UNE. Universal Service Financial Editor. New York. June 8.—From the reports of tho financial editors In various parts of the country, conditions appear to be mending somewhat. It wouldn't appear so from the stock market, which has been dull and general Iy lower. There is a reflection of depres sion itiShe steel, motor, oil. copper, sugar, rubber, textile and some other industries, together with uncertainty politically. Meanwhile the bond market Is excel lent, monev Is plentiful and exceptionally - heap Retail trade continues fair. The crop outlook is moderately good. Unem ployment in various lines has increased, but not in a degree to be serious, except in a few lines. Railroads are doing ex ceptionally well, considering a decline in traffic, this is due to the managers for the first time in years having been able to reduce expenses to a fair extent as traffic lessened. At present thera Is hesitation Proba bility of a third party entering the field adds to the uncertainty. Not until the situation Is clarified somewhat is there expecten to be a definite turn. M*>ap while. people are working and consum ing. Meanwhile, also, conditions abroad are slowly but surely mending And, from the reports of the savings banks, people appear to be saving, despita the extrava gances of the relatively f**w. It is through the earnings and the failings of the many that financial energies come to repair the wear and tear of the machines of every kind In the world. Despite depression in some industries, general business continues relatively good and in some Instances exceptionally souad. The outlook for the t rops is fair.

Scientists Apply Eugenics to Raising Luscious Bivalves New York, June 8.—Eugenics has entered the oyster Industry. With the object of producing a super bivalve, scientists have develop ed ft method at the New York state oyster experiment station for breed ing the crustacean from the egg and providing the most desirable environ ment for early growth of an oyster. The scientists are importing prize oysters from various points along the Atlantic coast from Wellfleet. Mass., to southern waters. The bivalve* will be crossbred and the most desirable products of the union preserved In each instance. There will be no dearth of eggs, the experimenters assert, for on the most conservative estimate the female may he expected to produce approximately 18,000,000 eggs a year. I .eft In their natural state probably not more than one of these would hatch. Hut under artificial cultivation virtually the whole lot will germinate, It Is declin ed. Hitherto the oyster has lieen found to be extremely U-mperumeulul "in captivity.'' In past season* thou winds of oysters of the Chesapeake variety were Imported and planted In Long Island beds. Results were not satisfactory, for the southern oyster could not he Induced to spawn at the right time With the artificial Indoor method. It Is said, this ran he correct ed, nml the tendency to deteriorate corrected. Even the fertilization of (he eggs Is artificial. Inside of six hours the voung oysters hatch and come to the top. After two dnys in clarified salt water they are put through a cream separa tor, where they slick to the walls un hurt, while the salt water Is waehed away. Within two weeks tiny shells begin to form and (lie young oysters are permitted to attach themselves to sheets of asbestos coated with lime. Later they are scraped off Into ex perlmental tanks. Their development Is closely wajehed and the most desirable specimens are carefully preserved foi future breed ing purposes. ___ __—-----N f With the County Agents Lexington—TU» Fourth of July picnic last year was Httch a succees that it will be repeated thlj year, it was annoumed^ The county farm bureau, the ihunher or commerce nnd the countv post a of the American Legion co-operate to make these picnic*, Committees have iteen ap pointed and they are now making plans for the munty picnic, to w’hidi all farin' era and town residents in the county ate invited.

Cool Weather in South Dakota Retards Crops Some Corn Must Be Replant ed — Damage to Other Crains Slight—Mois ture Needed. Watertown, S. D., June 8.—Crops generally in South Dakota made slow growth during May, and some corn will have to be replanted because seed has rotten In the ground, H. O. Herbrandaon, agricultural statistician in South Dakota for the bureau of agricultural economics, reports In his semi-monthly crop summary, made public today and covering the period from May 15 to May 31. Temperatures were below normal constantly, the report notes, and frost occurred frequently up to the end of the month. The actual dam age done to cats, barley, and flax is said to be relatively unimportant, but the statistician declares that their growth has been retarded and that a minor acreage of corn must be replanted because the growing condi tions were not conducive to germina tion of the seed.* Moisture Needed. "Practically all the state indicate* a need of additional moisture,” the report continues. "In the western half of the state, where much virgin sod has been turned for flax, rain is rather urgently needed to start the crop and to hasten the growth of grass. "Corn planting was somewhat re tarded by the low temperatures, but a greatly enlarged acreage of this crop ha* now' been planted. Wheat has been highly favored and the plant is well rooted and stooled and of good color. A few fields occasion ally show the effect of searing of the tip from frost but this will not bo damaging. Only an Insignificant portion of the greatly Increased flax acreage had made sufficient growth above ground to be damaged. A small acreage probably will be re sown. Pastures Retarded. "Pastures and range hax**> been much retarded, but the state Is well supplied with feed to carry all live stock. Wool clipping is in progress on the range and the weight of fleece and quality of fiber Is excellent, much above other recent years. Lambing has been very satisfactory. "Our native cattle are in good con dition of health and flesh, but rather liberal shipments being received from southwestern states are very emaci ated and badly affected with lire. These cattle were poorly equipped to stand the May weather here. No doubt there has been some and will he more loss before these cattle be come inured. (Courts*? of Radio Digest ) By AmotIhIH Press.

Weeds are like prairie tires—they are easily started, but it takes a lot of fighting to get them under control. The best way to combat weeds Is to know the bad weeds and destroy them when they first get a start In the community. Never let them get a start, for many weeds will live in the ground several years without rotting We all know that it is an endless job destroying weeds after they once get a foothold. Every year there are new weeds spreading throughout the United States which is alarming those acquainted with the situation. These weeds must be controlled before they get a foothold. A great many people will not be lieve that the common cockle burrs are very poisonous to stock. In some districts one-third of the farmers have lost from one to 30 head of hogs on young, green two-leafed cocklsburrs. Just think what It would have meant to those farmers If they had known what It was that was killing their hogs. Suppose we figure only $5 a head for those young pigs—30 head would be $130 for one farmer; but not all of these pigs were young pigs; some were purebred sows, worth $50 to $75 apiece. The fumes from the burning poison Ivy is very poisonous. Morning Glory Persistent Weed. Probably the most persistent weed in this part of the country is the morning glory, also known as bind weed. Creeping Jlney and Creeping Charlie. For all those that have not seen this weed, watch for a perennial plant with trailing, twining stems, with arrow-shaped leaves on its slen der stems. These stems produce small pink, or nearly white funnel or bell shaped flowers. The roots are very long, white and cord-like and send up new plants at frequent Intervals. The seeds are borne in a. straw-colored, almost spherical pod, about one fourth inch in diameter. In this pod there are usually four brownish-blue seeds about one ejghth Inch long, one side convex and the other flattened. They look very much like a quarter peeled orange. We all know that there are Innumerable ways for the weed to spread, as In chicken feed, seed shipped In, from unclean thresh ing machines and In many other ways. Even the root may be spread by be ing dragged along with the moving of machinery. If the weeds are not kept in check they may overrun a farm in 10 to 20 years. They may reduce the yields one half. This weed can be killed. It takes cpntinual cultivation We all know that If the tops are kept cut off the roots cannot possibly live forever. If the patch 1s small and near the hog lots. the hogs will soon kill out the whole plant if they are fenced to gether. In killing this weed along the fence we can use salt to good ad vantage, spread about one fourth inch thick. The seed may remain dormant several years, so we have to take that Into consideration also. t ilt Off Stems. Another weed w hich is very easy | Omaha Produce ) Omaht, Juna 7. BUTTER.

This need Is often mistaken for the com mon bull thistle, which Is easily con trolled. The best and surest way to tell them apart Is to pull them up and compare their roots. The bull thistle has a large tap root, while the Canadian thistle has an underground root that will break off about aix Inches below the surface when one tries to pull it up. The flowering heads are easily told apart. The bull thistle has a much larger head with one flower on the stem, while the Canadian thistle flower heads are much smaller and have the appearance of having several heads on one stem. The stem of the Cana dian thistle are free from spines, un like the other thistles. Some farmers are controlling this weed by cutting It off just at the surface of the ground and pouring kerosene or salt down the hollow- root stalk. A con stant cuttftig off of the stem will kill this plant usually In one year—that is, young stands of the Canadian thistle. The penny cress (also called fan weed, French w-eed, stink weed and other names), Is a weed that has been called the most hated enemy of the western farmer. Due to losses from Its presence the Department of Agri culture of the United States recently caused a special survey and Investi gation of control in the northwestern portion of the country. It will live several years In the soil without rot ting. It seeds twice a year. Freez ing does not affect It. This seed, when In the wheat, spoils the flavor of the flour. It also flavors the mut ton of the sheep that eat the plant Ergot Causes Big I>oss. This weed will grow In almost any kind of soil. It varies In height from slx^ Inches to two feet and has white flowers about one sixth of an Inch across. The pods when mature be come yellow in color and are about one-fourth of an inch across the flat tened. The seeds have eccentric rings. The plants have a disagree able odor. Here, again, the quickest way of destroying this weed is to be able to recognize It and destroy it be fore it goes to seed. It has no under ground root stalk, so cutting off kills It. A great deal of loss is due every year to ergot, which grows on rye and meadow foxtail. This ergot looks very much like an enlarged rye ker nel that has turned blue-black and Is very brittle. Ergot, when eaten, af fects'the muscles of the body, caus ing them to contract and stopping the flow of blood to a certain portion of the body. This causes gangrene and consequently the animal may lose a hoof or tall. It also causes abortion hi the-stock. The animal may eat this in grain or In the fields. The best control measure is first to sow clean rye. free from ergot. Second, if ergot is noticed In the meadow, mow the hay, but do not use it for! feeding purposes. The liest way to stop hog cholera Is to prevent it. The same Is true with weeds—prevent their start. saps, extra fancy, 12 76; small aixes. 12.50; white winter 1’earmaln. extra fancy, $2.25 02.50.

Co-eds Wife of British Professor, Now in California, hikes American Traits—Cvirls Are Self-Reliant. Berkeley, Cal., June 8.—The Amer ican college woman’* splendid inde pendence is one of her remarkable trait*, according to Mrs. Adams, wifo of Prof. John Adam* of the Univer sity of Uondon and present lecturer ln education at the University of California. Jn comparing American and English college women Mis. Adams says: "The English girl is more painstaking and thorough abort her work, but as yet she has not gained that vital courage of inde pendence which the American g: 1 possesses. The American girl is w-li'. ing and unashamed to work for her* education if necessary. She does this with a calm and dignity that to me is amazing. This is one thing the English girl could not do.” Mrs. Adams added that though the Ameri can college woman may work, she presents a better appearance than tbs student of any other country. "She is handsomely and appropriately dressed arM always appears well groomed.” Points Difference*. In her social life the English col lege girl is much more regulated by chaperons than the American. The girls have a certain number of teas and dances under the supervision of the women "dons.” "The cocoa % parties of Cambridge and Oxford wo men are as famous as your midnight feeds,” stated Mrs. Adams. These parties are encouraged by the au thorities, for though there is gossip and fun. the meetings usually end up in the discussion of world problems. “English college women,” said Mrs. Adams, “lead a much less luxurious life than the American.” There ere no steam-heated buildings. Each (irl is given her daily ration of coal foi lier fireplace. In Oxford and Cam bridge everything has been put cn the standard of the girl withot t money. The wealthy girls use great care to make no show of their ample mean*. There are very few English girls who have their own cars at col lege, but it is the usual thing to own a bicycle and to use it often. Exercise Systematic. Exercise 1* more systematized in Flngland than in America, in the opinion of Mrs. Adams. "The Ameri can girl rushes about always, the problem is how to get her to rest. English women take their daily exer cise regularly. In the afternoon many women may he seen rowing on the Oxford and Cambridge brooklets. Other favorite forms of exercise are walking, punting, golfing and bicycl ing. In England play and sport have been the heritage for centuries, so they do not hold as much excitement for the college woman as her work does. "Though the provincial colleges have offered opportunities to women for higher education, and even ns far m back as 1K2S the University of Eon don was founded for women as well as men, the Idea of college education for women is relatively new. Co education is also much less prevalent in England than here. The combined enrollment of women in both Oxford and Cambridge does not exceed 300. Until very lately the finishing schools of France and Switzerland were the favored Institutions for English girla” ( ^Straw—Ost. M #«C» 00; wheat. 17 04® HIDES, WOOL. TALLOW.
