A gadget that was attracting much attention among the farmers, who watched with their best corn-cob *I'pipe gripped firmly iz their mouths, was the electric hot-bed that elimi- nates the guess work and weather hazard in raising smali plants to be set out in the field. 3 The device consists of two lead- covered wires that run beneath the bed. There’s a thermostat on’it thgt can keep the bed heated constant! to within two degrees of a desired temperature. It's fine for tobacco, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, bell pep- pers and other more or less delicate growths. The electric bed eliminates as much as is possible with any device the hazard of weather, the greatest single factor in farming. If manure is used and a cold snap happens along just as the plants are ready for setting, the farmer often loses all because the heat has dwindled. D. W. Teare, manager of the show, has a novel idea about farming and the powers of electricity. He says that electrification of a farm attacks the farming problem at its roots in that the power reduces the cost of raising crops. Prices are difficult to control, he points out, even with the huge expenditures of buying up sur- plus products. o Device Averts Loss. He took this electric hot-bed as an example.

The electric hot-bed will eliminate this loss and the profits. with the weather hazard removed, rise. The University of Maryland Ex- tension Service has an exhibit of home-made devices to be used on the electrified farm. One of them is the pig brooder, which is used in place of the sow to keep the litter warm. It eliminates the possibility of losing half of them when the sow rolls over for a stretch, crushing them to death. The brooder, just a by an ordinary light bulb, never wants to stretch. Albert V.
