These Are Dry Bogs
Contrary to popular opinion, a
cranberry “bog” is not wet, ex
cept when deliberately flooded as
protection against frost. At all oth
er times a “bog” is as dry as your
front lawn. The name "bog” ap
parently comes from the fact that
cranberry plantations are built on
maple or cedar swamps that have
been cleared and drained.
Replacement of Poles
The average life of a wooden wire
service pdle is 20 years. Sixty-four '
million wooden poles are in use to
day for power and telephone lines;
16 poles per mile for power lines
and 40 a mile for telephone lines.
With the present number of poles,
the industry must replace nearly 15
million poles each year.
Contractors College
The first tile contractors course
ever offered by a college or univer

Ben and tbe ice Cream Soda
Franklin institute was founded in
honor of Benjamin Franklin to pro
mote the practical sciences of the
world. One honor, not usually asso
ciated with the institute was that
the first ice cream soda was sold at
the Franklin institute exhibition of
1874. A school of design for women
also wag founded by the institute in
the year 1850. Other firsts were the
tests of electric dynamos; stand
ards for screw and bolt threads,
and the first extension table.
Importance of Wheat
Recent studies of the department
of agriculture show that wheat is
second only to com in economic im
portance among the cereal crops of
this country and is grown in nearly
all of the 48 states. It is the farm
ers’ chief cash crop over very large
areas and its culture is mechanized
to a larger extent than that of any
other major crop.
Platinum Foxes Possible
By depriving ordinary silver
foxes of one of the “B’’ group of
vitamins, it is possible to obtain a
platinum fox. This discovery was
made at University of California
However, the platinized foxes do
not produce furs so durable as the
Norwegian variety. The only fox
that is being raised commercially
to any great extent in the United
States is the silver fox. Perhaps
they lend themselves to confine
ment better than most wild ani
mals. The grey fox is much slower
than the red fox. The red fox has
been known to cover a given dis
tance at the rate of 30 miles per
hour.
Long Hibernation
The hoary marmot of the north
ern Rockies spends the longest time
in hibernation. He is the first to go
into hibernation in the fall and the
last to come out in the spring in a
region where the winters are long
est.
Origin of Softball
Softball is an outgrowth of the
games of indoor baseball, play
ground ball, kitten ball and dia
mond baU. Since 1909 it became so
popular that by 1935 a world serier
was played in Chicago.

to the American Academy of Pe
diatrics for study of child health

Primitive Origin
The universality of man’s love of
color was demonstrated early in
antiquity. Each region and sub-re
gion of the globe developed its own
dye sources. It is estimated that
nearly 1,000 different plants, vines,
shrubs and trees were, at one time
or another, employed for extract
ing dyes. However i„iy a few of
the primitivw ayes survived to an
cient and medieval times.
Home Building Facts
The retail cost of building mate
rials is about double the cost 01
then: production, says a Twentieth
Century fund report. Used houses
account roughly for three fourths of
annual residential sales and 10 per
cent of the total new dwellings be
fore the war were produced under
public auspices. About 40 per cent
of the communities in the United
States do not have building codes.

Forestry in Europe
The Zurich municipal forest, the
Sihlwald, has been producing wood
crops for nearly a thousand years,
and in 1422 the city council decided
that the cut of that forest should not
exceed 20,000 pieces of timber per
year. This order constituted the
first recorded forest regulation that
is known. Led by Germany, Swe
den and France, all the principal
European countries now have gov
ernment forest agencies in many
cases have laws to regulate the cut
ting of timber on private lands.
