INVESTMENT IN MOTOR CARS
1 AND SCHOOL PROPERTY
(Continued From Page 1)
A Comparison by Counties for 1925 !
In the following table, based on
the value of school property for 1925
as reported by the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, and
the number of automobiles as recently
reported by the State Department
of Revenue, the counties are ranked
according to the total investment in
motor cars. The parallel column
shows the value of school property.
Motor cars are figured at an investment
of $S00 each, the figure of the
National A. C. C.
State total investment inn motor
cars $331,222,000. Total value or
public school property $70,705835.
The ownership of motor cars is perhaps
the best single index of true
wealth and income, and, therefore,
of ability to provide school facilities, j
A study of the table will reveal ,
some interesting comparisons.

Avoid Butterfat
Losses in Cream
Washing and Cleansing ol
Separator Is Big Factor
in Skimming.
Thorough washing and cleaning ot
the cream separator Is an Important
factor in clean sklnynlng. Many dairy
farmers are losing butterfat In skim
milk unbeknown to them. There are
many causes for loss of butterfat In
skim milk, as It comes from the separator.
The speed o'f the machine,
temperature of the milk, rate of Inflow,
cleanliness of machine, smoothness
of running and other factors will
affect the amount of butterfat lost
The only way to guard' against It la
to teat skim milk regularly.
Minnesota investigation.
An Investigation by Goodwin Rogness,
a cow tester In Minnesota, re
venled definite advantages m xuvur u*
clean separators. Twenty-four separators
were Inspected and divided Into
three groups as to methods of cleaning.
Group one. composed of Ave machines,
was washed twice dally. After
each separation, the skim milk was
tested for butterfat. The loss per
month on 300 pounds of skim milk
daily was 1.5 pounds butterfat, worth
33 cents. Group two, composed of
sight machines, was washed once a
lay and flushed out with warm or
'old wutef In the evening.
The loss per month on 800 pounds
skim milk dally was 2.7 pounds butter'uf,
worth 51,13. Group thre? was
tomposed of 11 machines washed
mce a day and flushed with skim milk
>r not 'at all. The loss per month on
100 pounds skim milk was 5.22 pounds
mtterfat, worth 52.19. It was noted
hat the morning skimming In each
:ase contained the most butterfat
Yearly Saving.
Putting the above figures on a yeary
basis, It is seen that thosefln group
>ne were paid at^the rate of 518.72 a
'ear for washing the separators twice
I.rluv Urninlnir warm nr cold Water
hrough the .machine after the evening
epurating saved $12.72 a year as cornered
with group three where llttlb or
10 attention was given the separator
>etween the evening and morning
klibmihg.
This investigation and others that
ould be cited, show the Importance
if washing the separator after each
eparation.?Floyd E. Ball, Deputy
Colorado Dairy Commissioner.
jatest Developments in
Cucumber Pest Control
The latest development in the eonrol
of the cucumber beetle consists
if a duster equipped with a length
if tubing and a metal cone a foot or
nore In diameter. The cone, or hood,
s placed on the ground over the plant
hd the dust applied. The beetles
lave no chance for a getaway.
Another refinement Is for four
ubes Inside the cone which carry the
lust close to the ground so as to
each the under side of the plant,
loles'at the top of the cone provide
n upward draft and assist In giving
ixcellent application. The material
ised Is nicotine! dust containing a high
lercentage of nicotine.
Of course, th^ old wroy is still effeclve,
namely, repelling the beetles by
lusting with 1 lb. of caisltim arsenate
nd 15 lbs. of gypsum, or with 1 lb.
f calsium arsenate, 5 lbs. of wheat
lour, and 10 lbs. of lima .The new
net hod, however, gives thai added
atlsfaction that comes from killing
he pest outrlghti!

at is being carried on in Polk
unity. Thic campaign began a
muh. and thus far five farmers
ive bought a purebred bull and
in- ( ite rs have agreed to get one
soon as i tie of their choice can

bought a purebred bull are: J.

and Jno. Carpenter together
urcliased a seventeen months old
ersey from the well known Glennood
Farm, Spartanburg. These men
re to In- commended for the infest
they have shown in the better
vesto^k movement and it is hoped
lal other farmers owning scrub or
rai^e stock will follow their1 exmple.
There arc thirty-two farmers in the
entity who keep grade bulls anc
wenty-1'ive of the owners have been
ntii-viewed in regard to replacinf
Item with a registered one. Almosl
ivery owner spoke in favor of dis
tensing with their scrub and getting
ither a purebred in its place 01
trending their cows to a registerel

ihould not bo long untill Polk Coun

The question is often asked. "Wliiel

C ' " * ' ^ ; - GREEN'S
CREEK
We are haying damp, cool, "dog
days" weather today, which is very
- pleasant after the jlong drought,
i Perhaps if we have a little more
rain now some of the late crops
may be benefited even yet, though
the outlook is generally discouraging
for farmers. Cotton is very late,
owing to continued dry weather,
while corn has already passed the
developing perio.d and has tasseled
out, with no prospect of bearing.
There may be a few exceptions to
this, of course, but -this is the prevailing
condition.
Despite the anxiety that is felt,
and rather freely expressed, with
regard to our poor crops a fin?
community spirit is magnifested
One result of this co-operative spirit
is that we are to have at the school
building on next Saturday night the
second best picture play in this
I country, "The Ten Commandments".
J This special picture is being widely
'advertised, tickets have been gold,
and are still being sold, so we hope
| to meet the finaucal requirements
to see the famous picture without
hardship to anyone. We believe
everyone should take advantage of
the special low price and see this
good picture at home.

THE RESULTS OF WAR
Last week there gathered on the
Champs Elyses in Paris and marched
to the tomb of the Unknown Soldier
beneath the Arc de Triomphe
twenty thousand veterans of the late
war a tragic spectacle to view. The
first line was a batajion of legless
soldiers in little wheel chairs many
of them propeljing themselves others
pushed by nurses. Next to them
came the sightless, blinded by war,
each led by their wife, sister or
friend some with their eyes bandaged,
then the faceless men hid by
bandages, then other veterans wearing
scars. Many with an empty
sleeve dangling by thlr side, others
on crutches solemn, dignified but
pathetic no word of hate or anger,
no complaint only a reminder of war
only a call to America for a review
of the terms of settlement for the
war debt that France owed our Country.
"We Ixive always heard of gay
Paris, but as that procession swung
Into Avenue d'lena and placed an
enormous wreath of roses at the foot
of the monument to the American
Volunteers inscribed, "A La Fra*er"
nite D' Armes". There was a hush
a reverence a something that s&olte
louder than words from the heart of
France. Something that came from
the two million silent voices marked
only by the white crosses where
loved ones sleep. There was no sound
of bugles or roll of drum no waving
of banners but as that oolumn of
troops marched four abrest no one
to guard, no show of bitterness there
was something that impressed the
mind and heart of America and the
world, the sacrifice that France has
tyioHo for iuntice for civilization.
