'Government scientists hove made
oeveral discoveries of the highest
public value recently. They havo
found a hew process by which benzol
and touol, the foundation of aniline
dyes and explosives, and gasoline,
may be made from crude petroleum.
They have devised and, proved a
process for the reduction of radium
from carnotite at a cost of $37,000
per gram of .radium aa compared with
a cost of $120,000. per gram undor
previous processes. ;.
They have worked out a plan for
saving the billion of feet of gas
wasted daily into the air from the oil
wells of Oklahoma, and they have de
vised a method of taking solids and
liquids out of smelter smoke, such as
sulphuric acid, arsenic, zinc and load.
WEATHER FORECASTS.
There are few of us who 'haven't
laughed the weather man to scorn
when some of his forecasts have
failed to come true. But we forgot
that the weather bureau's forecast is
only a probability. The weather man
-never tells you that this or that will
happen. He knows he dare not The
atmosphere above uh Is bo illimit
able so many unknown things can
, happen in the vast vault that what
looks certain to come cannot be
Mated a absolute certainly.
The United States weather depart
ment is all the ttmo going farther
,fleld and a-air-wit!h fts a&entuli:
investigations so that forecasts shall
1 be more1 certain, hoping that at some
distant day they may be able to be
absolutely certain as to the forecast.
For example, an investigating station
at Omaha is to explore the high altl
tudeH continuously with the aid of
kites and balloons, for advance In
formation of atornis from the tat;
wont. Kites will be sent up in series
with piano wire strings. Electric op
pliances will be attached for register
ing the rate of wind, the atmospheric
pressure, humidity and temporaturo.
SPor' altitudes above the . reach of
kites small rubbor balloons can now
be used, thoir roach being determined

FARMERS RECEIVE AID
Are Enabled to Market Products Co
1 opcralively ."
Washingcon D. C, Jan. 15. In the
agricultural appropriation bill for tho
fiscal year ended Juno 30, 1914, there
was an appropriation of J50.0CO for
tho acquisition ond diffusion of useful
information on the subjects connected
with the marketing and distributng
: of farm products. The following year
i this appropriation was increased to
i $00,000 and the "Offico of markets
was created. The appropriation bill for
1!U6 carries $484,0"50 for tho office of
I Markets and Rural Organization, but
i $75,000 of that sum is to be used for
I the enforcement of the cotton futures
I net. Thus it will bo seen that for the
I uirmcrs the Government is spending
much money and giving valuable aid
to the business of co-operative mar
keting. . '
To see whot the Government Is do
ing to aid tho fnrir.f-rs, the cotton
planters and other tillers of tho Suil,
in the matter of co-operating market
ing is thercforo interesting. The fol
lowing information is retained from
Charles J.-Brand, ch-'ef of the office'
of marketing. U is inv.x.ssihlo withi'i !
the limits of such an nrticlo as this
to tell all that is being dono for the!
farmers in this connection but enough j
can be ' told to indicate the scope
of thework.
Mr. Brand estimates that this year
the farmers co-operative -marketing
transacted a total business of more
than $1,400,000,000. The conclusion
seems warranted from the reports re
ceived that in communities where co
operation is practically applied to the
farmers' business tlhe results are far
more satisfactory than those secured
by individual melUiods JThis is how the
Office of Markets went about getting
the farmers' co-operative organiza
tions on a business basis, told in the
words of Mr. Brand:
After a comprehensive investigation
of the accounting methods used by
n co-operaitive marketing organiza
tions throughout the United States, it
was found that there was dire need of
a text- or handbook relator? to the
' general business practices of these or
ganizations, and giving plans for the
business requirements for conducting
.'a co-operative marketing org?.nize
tion. To answer this need a manu
script was prepared and published.
