SH SO SR ER Se Lites aking hay whether the s fit to shine or not is something that the Ashgrove Farms have been doing ever since last June with the aid of an arti-' ficial dryer and electric motors. - And At has been profitable. This has been an exceptionally bad - year for forage crops becanse of the excessive rainfall, but Mr. Ashton has in his barns about 600 tons of Ifalfa and mixed hay of high Suallsy, and it-would seem that a kle sun has been successfully flouted. It has been estimated that about one- half of the crop would have been lost, or of poor quality, had sun-curing been relied upon. The, artificially dried hay is highly nutritious because the leaves which become wet with rain and are easily lost in sun curing, are saved. The srop as a whole is higher in protein and fat values and lower in fibre content. After drying, the hay can be stored indefinitely without heating, sweating, fermenting or discoloring. The bale of hay--another tradition- al expression--also has passed from the picture at the Ashgrove Farms, The hay is first delivered to a cutfer driven by a twenty-horsepower motor, where it is chopped into fine pieces-- suitable for later automatic handling, but forever out of the province of the baler. The umount of moisture in the crop offers no difficulty. It is fed from the cutter to a revolving cylinder seven feet in dia.neter and twenty feet long. At one end of this drum is an oil furrace. dnd the hay and hot air are drawn through the cylinder, or dryer, by an exhauft fan located at the outlet end. The dried hay is then elivered to 2 collector, from which it is fed to a blower and blown directiy into the mow in the barn. * @n the Ashgrove Farms part of tbe mater a. {rom the collector was bag. ged as it came home from the dryer and trucked to the main barn, a half mile away, where it was then blowa icto tha mow, the blower taking th: place of the traditional haw carrier 7 Mase When Japanese Speal Eaglih (The N.Y. Times) More and more the English language becomes a ruling factor in the Orient. Although the Chinese outnumber all the English-speaking peoples of the world, they themselves must often fall back on English in order to convey their meaning to other Chinese of a different dialect. English 1s a com- pulsory part of common school edu- cation in Japan, : i The language of the British Isles-- or some close variant--will bob up in the most unexpected situations in the Orient, as witness the experience of a young American couple who visited Japan recently.

What the umpire says is "Strike one." The Americans find that the Jap- anese have adopted the whole nomen- clature of baseball as it was develop ed in the United States. Scene: Lake Chuzenji. Japanese in their late 'teens stand back to let the Americans get into a sampan. "Thank you," says the American wife, hoping they will understand. "Not at all," one replies, adding: "You are Americans, are you not? We go to school at St. Paul's in Tokyo." He and his fellow collegians follow in a second sampan, and the Ameri- can husband, perhaps thinking he is in a bathtub instead of a boat, breaks into a light song. Conversation stops among the college boys. Presently the sheepish husband is startled to hear, coming from the sampan of the Japanese, the full chorus in English of "Onward Christian Soldiers." The singers motion to him to join in, but he does not know the words. Scene: Sleeping car pulling out of Tokyo.

War fellings in Scotland am- ounted to 150,000 acres and in the pre- and post-war years large areas were felled and not replanted. In spite of government grants many of these woodlands till remain unplant- ed. In addition to encouragement to the lairds in the way of grants, the State has done much toward the de- velopment of afforestation. The For- estry Commission, now in its twelfth year, has acquired 155,000 acres of plantable land and 62,000 acres have actually been planted. Some 228 for- est holdings have been estalbished in a ratio of five holdings to 1,000 acres of forest. Later when they reach ma- turity the forests will absorb more labor. The program is to plant 500,- 7000 acres--this representing about 4 per cent. of rough grazings. A spe- cial effort has been made to utilize deer forests ("forest" in this case be- ing a misnomer as they are bare tracts of country), but only twenty-four have been acquired in whole or part. mm ii-------- A Gigantic Siphon Irrigation in the Yakima project in 'the State of Washington is materially aided by the huge Morrison Canyon Siphoh, one of nine inverted siphons on. the main canal of the Kittitas sion of the project.
