THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE WRITTEN L INFORMATION A1JOUT AGItlCUL TUIIAL SUBJECTS FROM RELIABLE SOURCES Out of tho Bpccial bosbIoii of tlio lcgislaturro which Just finished Its nine days of dollbcratlon, tho farmers nro directly Interested In two hills passed, rind so7oral resolutions. Tho bills of direct Intoroet, Is ono remov ing tho restrictions which hampered stato banks from rcdlscountlng war flnanco money, nnd tho other tho ap propriation bill, which roducod tho biennial appropriation of last Bosslon $2,051,765. Under tho bank bill it will now bo possible for stato banks to rediscount farmers' papor through tho war fl nanco corporation without fear of ex ceeding tho nmount of its paid up capital stock and reserve, a restric tion which up to dato lias prevented mo3t banks from frcoly handling those funds. Resolutions opposing tho "match ing of dollars with tho fedoral gov ornmont" for public Improvomont; creating a special committoo to inves tigate tho road building program; op posing tho Issuance of tax froo se curities; nnd favoring tho Groat Lakes, St. Lawrcnco watorway pro joct, might well havo boon resolutions adopted by a farm bureau convention Instead of tho stato legislature. A concurrent resolution giving' tho stato tax commissioner authority to make a study of tax questions was also passed. Asldo from tho roapproprlatlon of tho capital fund of two years ago, and defeat of thogasallno bill, tho special session dcalTwlth no subjects of special Interest to farmors othor than those first montlonod. Tho froozlng points of a largo va riety of vegetables and fruits, which aro Hkoly to bo subjected to froozlng conditions during harvesting, handl ing, or marketing, havo been tho oh Joct of spoclnl studios In tho buroau of plant Industry of tho United States department of agriculture. Between 15,000 and 20,000- dotormlnatlons havo boon made, Including tho freezing points of 25 varlotlcs of apples, 22 kinds of strawberries, 18 varieties of potatoos, 10 dlfforont types of sweet potatoes, 10 tomato varieties, and RUB READERS irtk HB jjlQl i N many varlotlos of ohorrios, grapos, ponchos, plumbs, blackborrios, rasp borrlofi, cranborrloe, and some cut f'owors, particularly poonlos, rosod, and lilies. Bosldos this genoral study, tho work is being continued with tho principal fruits and vogotablcs which nro llablo to bo in danger of froozlotj I elthor in transit or on tho market. In this work tho methods of detecting Ifrcozlng Injury, thn rate at widen I fruits or vogotablos frcozo In con stant low tompornturos aro deter mined. , The freezing points wore deter mined for 18 standard varieties of Irish potatoes, grown under the samo cultural conditions, harvested at tho some time, and stored at tho samo tomporaturos. Tho freezing point ap parently varlos with tho varloty and 3I10WH a tondoncy to vary with tho family group. It has boon shown that potatoes can frequently bo oxposod to tomporaturos much bolow tholr freez ing points It they arc not disturbed until tho tomporaturo Is again, abovo tho freezing, point. This Is nn Im portant consideration to potato grow ers and handlers. My using tho school dltrlct as a unit nnd employing tho services of nearly all organizations interested In tho public wolfaro a vory successful antirnt compalgn was rccontly put on In Utah. Ono of tho assistants of the Biological survey of tho United States department of agriculturo ronorta 'that 17,074 rats woro caught in traps land killod bv mfl.inn nthni Jinn nnln. on. It wns, of courso, imposslblo to 1 dotormlno how many of tho rodonts .woro poisoned, but altogether 1,250 pounds of barium carbonato poison woro used, and thousands of tho pests must havo been killed in ,this way.' Dealers roportod that great numbors of traps woro sold. Various phases of tho riddance work woro brought out in tho differ ent classos In tho schools, and repair ing buildings and rat proof construc tion work wns taught to moro than 12,000 studonts in tho manual train ing classes. Approximately 30,000 essays and 37,000 postors and draw ings on rat eradication woro submit ted by G1.238 school children. It la ostimatod that somo 125,000 people woro" roachod by domonstratlonu, bulletins, circulars, otc. A follow-up Investigation brought out somo Interesting facts concern ing conditions that fostor.rats. For Instance of tho residents of Salt Lako City roportlng rats on tho promises, CO per cent kopt chickens. A high porcontago of thoso reporting rata Pays for the orth PlatteTribune For One Year SEMI-WEEKLY Tuesday and Friday SUBSCRIBE NOW llvod cither In poorly constructed housos, kopt no garbage recoptacley, or had pilot of rubbish, boards, and othor matorial lying around tho place. Such food supplies and sholtor at tract tho rodonts and glvo them u good opportunity to multiply. But such concerted action as was taken in Utah demonstrates tho practicabil ity of eradication. Tho gathering of mussels forms' an important Industry In somo parts of tho middle west Tho mussel flshor man's outfit consists of a boat nnd a pair of dredgos. A dredge Is com posed or ordinary gas pipe, whereto a number of hooks nro attached, each book showing four prongs. Fastening a stout ropo to his dredge, tho hunter drops It Overboard and as tho boat drifts with the cur rent, tho dredgo drags along tho hot torn of tho stream. Tho mussel lies .with shell open, and when a prong strikes within tho opening of the mus sel's two sholls, tho deluded mollusc, under tho Impression that it has cap tured something odlblo, closos down on tho hook with a vlso-llko grip. After floating for twenty or thirty yards, tho dredgo Is pulled up and tho remaining dredgo Is dropped from tho opposlt side of tho boat. It is not unusual for n fisherman to capture as many as ono hundred mussels at a slnglo drop of tho dredgo. When tho flshorman has as many mussels as his boat will conveniently carry, ho rows ashoro and undertakes tho "cooking out" process. Tho mus sols are transferred from tho boat to a tank that holds from flvo hundred to ono thousand pounds. f Hero tho mussols are boiled for an hour, I003 onlng tho meat from tho shell. Tho sholls aro placed upon a platform,' whoro they aro sorted and cleaned for Bhlpment. Tho prlco paid for tho sholls in ton lots frequently touches tho $10 mark- "While tho sholls form tho principal product of tho mussols, tho flshorman not Infrequently has tho luck of find ing a valuablo pearl In his catch. A pearl to bo of first quality must be of good luster and of round, button, or pear shnpo. If they are Irregular In form, but hnvo brilliant colors, these pearls still havo somo value. An Irregularity shaped poarl to bo of any Great valuo should bo not loss than ono-olghth of an Inch in diameter, and in color should bo whlto. pluk, purple,-brown, or black. Very often tho mussol fisherman find pearls of perfect shape, but of dull lead color. Thoso aro worthless and aro known as "doad pearls." .A -so Anothor product of tho mussel do- Herving mention 1b tho "slug." Tho slug Is always Irregular in form, and is composed of tho samo matter that goos to mako up tho pearl although it does not possess sufficient brlllianco i to bo classed as a baroque. Slugs aro omployod in tho manu- iaciuro or encap jowoiry, anu tno price for thorn ranges from $1 to $1.50 an ounce. Pearls, baroques, and slugs are thought to bo formed by tho mussel as a means of protection against irri tation. A foreign substance, such as a grain of sand, effects an entrance between tho shells. This irritates tho mussel, and to protect itself it enve lopes tho offending object in a coat of micro of varying thickness. The Farrnar's Auctioneer . M. Johansen, North Platta, Nebraska.
