Ceresan is harm less to cotton seed and they may be treated now and stored until plant ing time.

Be sure and use three ounces of the fungicide to each bushel of seed and mix thoroughly in the container before storing. Seed ndt needed for planting should be disposed of in some way as treated seed are unfit for feeding purposes.

IB. McCoy. bald Los Angeles inventor, gingerly held a steel plate in front of a beam of his "concentrated sunlight" and chuckled as the ray promptly melted a hole through the plate, the molten metal dripping down like melted butter. He waved triumphantly at a huge revolving battery of 60 mirrors which was focusing the bright California noonday sun Into a beam some 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit in temperature. "We'll run all our factories with 'sun power' throngh outfits like this some day," he declared. "Give me the cap ital to build one eight times as big as this one, and I'll make the sun gen erate enough electricity to light a city of 80.000 population." Uiei Three Panels. McCoy's invention consists of three panels, each holding 20 curved slabs of silvered window glass. They tip up or down and run on a circular track, following the sun's path from east to west. The sun's rays are kept aimed constantly on a fire-brick over 15 feet away. All the sunlight striking 60 square feet of mirror is concentrated on the small target, raising the temperature to approximately half the terrific heat of the surface of the sun itself. McCoy says he has melted, among other metals, tungsten carbide, Indicat ing the furnace develops well over 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit Confident of Adoption. He is confident the apparatus will be adopted by industry to replace coal and oil for heating factory boilers. He says that for $25,000 he can build an " " v .

"It sounds fantastic" be said, "but I thhric tha nihtorllt of th -fnffir mat f drive up to a service station and, in stead of buying gasoline, exchange the 'battery of his electric automobile for one that has Just been charged by a solar furnace generating plant" i Undertakers are already consulting .the inventor on the possibilities of using the device for cremation of bodies, their idea being that cremation by sunlight has a certain poetic appeal. As a test, he placed a two-pound rabbit on the "hot spot" It vanished In smoke after two minutes under the concentrated sunheam. Intelligence Tests Fair Oniy After Some Practice Ann Arbor. Intelligence tests are fair In determining the comparative "I. Q.'s" of individuals only When those Individuals have had equal amounts of practice in taking the. ,tasts. Dr.. Ed ward B. Green, UnlverSltjF "Mtchlgan , psychologist, has concluded,' after re peating four times a series of 25 stand ard tests among 253 of his sophomore students. In taking the tests over and over again the pupils showed improvement In performance which ranged from zero to 1,900 per cent, which led Doctor Greene to assert thnt the "prediction of success In vocational and education al activities would be greatly Improved If individuals could be compared at known levels of efficiency. It Is seldom useful to comitare Individuals when It is known that one of them has had considerably more practice than the other," be says. "Only those tests which show from none to 25 per cent Improvement may be used as a com parison between Individuals.". , - . In easy comparisons, including the speed of easy reading and easy pencil mazes, and In hard comparisons, study of difficult cube designs, Improvements ranging from 26 to 75 per cent were shown. In medium comparisons the Improvement ranged up to 200 per cent and In solution of such puzzles as can be remembered the Improvement was 300 per cent Co-Eds Firmer Than Men in Holding to Studies Lewlsburg, Pa.
