Old Man River Seems
To Flow Uphill
MINNEAPOLIS (U.P.) Now the
scientists have come up with a
new one. The Mississippi River
flows uphill.
Dr. Lorenz G. Straub, head of
the University of Minnesota hy
draulics laboratory, explains it this
way:
The earth is thicker at the equa
tor than at the north and south
poles. The thickness increases
roughly one mile for every 480
miles north or south of the poles.
That figures out to about 13 miles
difference between the polar meas
urement and 'the thickness at the
equator.
Because the Mississippi River is
1,200 miles long, the mouth of the
river turns out to be about two I
and a half miles further from the
center of the earth than the source.

Home Agent Lists
Plentiful Foods
Cheese and eggs nave moved to
the forefront of the February list
of plentiful foods, just released by
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture. .
Miss Mary Margaret Smith, home
demonstration agent for the State
College Extension Service, points
out the flush production season for
eggs has begun, and that fresh eggs
will be plentiful in all important
producing sections. February egg
prices are expected to follow the
customary seasonal uownwaiu
trend, she said.
Unusually large stocks of cheese
have accumulated in recent
months, leading to sharp price de
clines during the season when
prices normally rise.
Most plentiful fruits of the
month will be fresh and
Processed citrus fruits and
winter pears. Plentitul vegetaDies
include Irisb potatoes, cabbage,
carrots, onions, and spinach.
Georgia broiler producers, along
with growers in Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia, and North Carolina,
will send abundant supplies of
broilers to markets during the
months, Miss Smith reported, to
provide consumers with a delicious
meat for February meals.
In addition to the foods listed,
the home agent said plentiful sup
plies of honey, pecans, peanut but
ter, canned corn, peas, and cran
berries, dried prunes and raisins,
fresh and frozen fish, and corn
and oat products will be on the
market.
Dried beans and peas should be
plentiful also, to offer menu plan
ners an excellent source of vege
table protein and food energy.
