Discovered a rat poison so power-
ful that one pound can kill 300,000
rats. It can be employed mixed with
ground corn or wheat or cut-up ap-
ples and potatoes, or, as dust, can be
used on water or blown into ratholes.

Pears, like bananas, ripen best off
the trees. Since pears become hard
and gritty when left on the trees,
they are picked as soon as they ma-
ture. If the fruit in the store is not
soft, keep it for a few days at room
temperature, between 60 and 70 de-
grees. In home kitchens pears may
be covered with a damp cloth until
ripe or in a paper bag with a wad of
damp paper to provide the necessary
moisture. They should not be put in
the refrigerator until they are soft.
The exception to the rule is the Kief-
fer pear, the hardy variety widely
grown in home orchards. They need
a cooler temperature for ripening
than other pears and should be kept
at from 55 to 65 degrees to develop a
soft texture and pleasing flavor. Most
home cellars provide the right tem-
perature for the Keiffers.

WHAT A MYSTERY STORY
Al Hinds of the Paducah Post says
he always wanted to write a mystery
story, so here he goes:
It was a dark alley in one of the
worst parts of town. Three men were
waiting. One of them pulled a slouch
hat down over his eyes and said:
First man—D’ya see him? Second
man (taking a quick peek around the
corner)—Yes, here he comes. The
man with the slouch hat picked up a
short, thick section of pipe. Another
took a heavy wrench, and the third
grabbed a smaller wrench that was
nonetheless effective in close quar-
ters. First man (whispering)—All
right, fellers, let’s go—And thus,
when the boss got around the corner
It’s a good way to cut down on noise, he found his three plumbers busily at
too. work.

T?EW YORK.—An “errorless” type-
writer has been engineered and pat-
ented by the Associated Development
and Research Corp.
Using the principle of printing an
entire line simultaneously, rather
than letter-by-letter, it eliminates er-
rors. Called “The Visible Line” type-
writer, it has a standard keyboard
and its operation is almost identical
to that of -the present type of me-
chanical or electrical typewriter.
Electrically driven, the “Visible
Line” typewriter does not type di-
rectly on the paper. Instead, it sets
up a line which is visible just above
the keyboard before printing. If an
•error occurs, the operator has merely
to press a button which returns the
carriage to the proper position and
eliminates the mistyped character.
Then he retypes the character and
prints the line.
No time is lost, because pressure on
the “Print” button returns the car-
riage, and the operator can set up the
next line while the previous one is
printing. Erasing, either on original
or carbon copies, is eleminated. The
typewriter prints evenly no matter
how light or how heavy the pressure
on a key may be.

WASHINGTON. — America’s best
investment probably is not in indus-
try or gold mines but in the search
for more and better hogs, corn and
other farm products.
"Dollars spent by the government
on agricultural projects which now
yield as much as 100 times the cost of
the studies in increased and im-
proved crops were described by Dr.
W. V. Lambers, chief of the Agricul-
tural Research Administration of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Dr. Lambert balanced the books on
the nation’s expenditures for farm
research as a guest of Watson Davis,
director of Science Service, on Ad-
ventures in Science, heard over the
Columbia network.
The return from a few tens of mil-
lions of dollars spent during recent
decades in scientific study of only a
few agricultural problems now totals
approximately $2,500,000,000 in addi-
tion to the nation’s farm income, Dr.
Lambert indicated.
Some items from the “books” of
agricultural research as listed by the
chief of the Agricultural Research
Administration:
Hybrid corn: Took about $10,000,-
000 to develop, over a period of 30
years; increased income from hybrid
corn now totals $750,000,000 each
year.
DDT: From $50,000 spent in re-
search, the profit in improved pro-
duction from dairy cows relieved of
biting flies now runs to $10,000,000
yearly and figures may even jump to
$100,000,000.
Pigs: Research on the prevention of
roundworms cost $25,000; annual
value now amounts to $25,000,000.
Phenothiazine: This chemical con-
trols internal parasites in livestock;
development cost $10,000, and the
farmers get back $10,000,000 each
year in faster-growing animals which
require less feed.
Other “annual earnings” of agricul-
tural research include $1,000,000,000
from development of disease-resist-
ant varieties of grains and sugar
crops and $500,000,000 estimated
yearly return from improved dairy
practices. y
Dr. Lambert pointed out that farm
science has produced important div-
idends in human lives from finding
how to produce penicillin on a large
scale and studies in the field of hu-
man nutrition.
