ARKANSAS DAIRY INTERESTS GROW Are Boostetd by Work of HH Club Fayetteville, Ark., Dec. 7 (@— Boosted by the work of 4-H clu boys and girls, Arkansas' dairy in terests areadvancing in an ever- expanding program. College of agriculture official at | the University of Arkansas de-| scribe the club work as a factor of | major importance. In counties where clubs have been operating, a genuine desire to realize dairy| opportuities in the fullest has| been manifested Almost without exception, ness and professional m n have co- | operated with agricultural agents | in spensoring club work. Each | man selected a boy or girl club member and created a fund for the purchase of purebred calves, and | made numerous visits to the farms| to offer aid and advice. During | state and county fa stores and places of business were neglected Ly these men while they helped their club members prepare their stock for the show ring. In return the club members are repaying their loans by growing good crops. Acre crops of cotton, corn, rice, and potatoes are help- ing the boys and girls establish full ownership of the purebred dairy calves. Among the outstanding indivia- ual calf club members who have made this work a foundation for| successful dairying is Roy Buell, | of Green Forest, said by college of agriculture experts to ‘be one of the most promising Jersey breed- ers in northwest Arkansas. All his | cows and heifers are related to the calf he bought as a club member. The quality of his herd may be computed by the fact that a daugh- ter and a granddaughter of his first calf won the state dairy con- tost two successive years.

NEASURING STUNT Baltimore, Md., Dec. l—-(h—Bl measuring the depth of a liquid when only four bilionths of an inch separated its surface from the bot- tom, Drs. J. C. W. Frazer &nd Walter A. Patrick, professors of chemistry at Johns Hopkins univer- sity, have solved a problem which is expected tlo aid in the solution of many other problems of their Although such a delicate measure- ment usually is considered a suffi- cient objective for a single research undertaking, it was done here as one step in a broad program designed to unravél some of the skeins of mys- tery which entangle the fundamental capillarity. The immediate purpose was to clear up the confusion that long has existed as to the magnitude of the force of absorption, which causes the molecules of a gas or vapor to adhere in the form of & liquid to a hard, smooth substance. They found that, contrary to con- clusions reached by other investigat- ors in the past, the thickness of the liquid drawn tq a plane glass surface by adsorption never is greater than that of one molecule, which is only about four billionths of an inch in diameter. Among the other practical results which this knowledge is expected to produce is a clearer understanding asociation, Regular Gain Shown 5 In Use of Plant Food ic acid and potash used to nurture ‘Washington, Dec.
