Science Exhibits New

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. Dec. 30?
American science set up its annual
exhibition of new dicoveries in the
nunicipal auditorium here Monday
>n the eve of the week's meeting of

Advancement of Science.
There was a slender new thermos

n which water was changed into
steam by light reflected from an
iluminum mirror the size of an of.

A new speed indicator which will

also was exhibited.
The device, shown by the Radio
Corporation of America makes use
?f two photo-electric cells, or eleeric
eyes, spaced about a half a mile
ipart and connected by a simple
pjectrlcal circuit.
The electric eye measures exactly
he speed of which an automobile

it may either flash a red

iValnut Trees Are Dual
Source Of Cash Income
Setting out blaek walnut seedlings,
>r planting nuts in fertile spots about
>ver the farm is a profitable investment,
according to R. H. Page, Jr.,
assistant extension forester at State
College.
There is always a strong demand
for black walnut timber he said, and ?
the nuts are valuable for home use I
ind for sale. Confectioners pay j
;ood prices for these nuts.
The supply of black walnut timber
n the State is almost exhausted.
Page continued, and farmers who retew
the supply should be able to sell
t at a high price.
Walnuts grow best in deep, rich,
well-drained soil. Ditch and stream
oanks, fence and field corners farm
trards, and the borders of lanes and
roadways are good places to raise
these trees, he stated.
It costs very little to plant the nuts
or set out the seedlings, he pointed
out and the growing trees require but
little attention.
He recommends the fall or early
spring as the best time to plant the
nuts. Drop two nuts several inches
apart, he said, and cover with about
two inches of Vopsoil, firmly packed.
Scalp the ground clean of grass and
weeds for a space a foot or two around
the hole.

single rows, as along a lane or 3tream,
the trees may be spaced 25 feet apart.
But whqpe they are to be grown in
groups, there should be 35 to 40 feet
between the trees.
Seedling may be purchased for
about $10 a thousand. Page added.
Further information about the seedlings
may be obtained from county
agents over the State.
