CAP) The hammock i3 being discovered in ; France. Relief for crowded city apartments is seqp in the hammock S3 a bed. City authorities are considering their use in public institutions. Serious periodicals propose the general use of the hammock dn modest homes, and apartments, where each hew baby means, eventually, another bed, less room to move about and heavy expense. Sailors prefer hammocks to beds, argues a cily alderman. He reminds the public that the cheap mesh hammock is not one at ail and that hammocks may have rigid frames and be as comfortable as they are inexpensive, i The Frencc use elaborate, cpstly beds, and the hammock would save space and money for! crowded families. Several of them could be piled to make a couch in the day time and quickly swung into place at night.

(AP) A de cade of warfare against black stem rust in 13 great grain states of the upper Mississippi valley will reach its climax this summer. The U. S. department of agri culture' sent 225 men into that area June 15 to locate and destroy the common barberry, host plant of "the grain grower's worst ene my." i More than 40 state agents are co-operating with the federal ex perts, the combined force offering its service in searching the farm er's yards, wasteland, and wood lots for the outlaw growth. 1 "This work," department offic ials say, "will be of tremendous importance to the entire nation. Barberry eradication has reduced stem rust losses from an average of 50, 413,000 bushels of grain for the 6-year period. 1915 to 1920, to 15.920.jOOO bushels fo rt he per iod 1921-1926. Spores .of the 'minute -fungus before attacking grain in the spring, breed only on leaves and other tender parts of the common barberry. Before, the dreaded plant disease van be-eradicated, its life cycle must be bro ken by barberry extermination; The Individual farmer can do his best work.1 toward such an end by directing these' men to suspected harmful bushes."

Ten pounds of crushed rock salt, or a gallon of kerosene, applied to the crown of the plant will kill a bar berry bush whose base is one foot in diameter. Common barberry is an erect shrub which may be found grow ing as a seedling a few inches high or as a bush up to 12 feet in height. Scientists urge that it not be confused with the short Japanese barberry which will not harbor black stem rust. In a year favorable to rust, one common barberry bush may be responsible for development of 92 quadrillion, 726 trillion spores. "Due to the late season," auth orities advise, "much still may be done to protect the spring wheat crop. Numerous spores have been slow to. develop and all barberry bushes found now should be cut immediately and burned," and salt applied to the roots. Infected bushes are easily detected. Rust ."cluster cups" appear on the un der side of the leaves; orange in color, and ranging in size front's' pinhead to half as large as a pen ny ' The plant . disease survey esti- mates the money value of grain destroyed by black stem rust from 1916 to 1926, inclusive, at $638. 3S7.456: Arrayed against the losx is a congressional "war budget" of $375,000 per year and cash ap propriations, or their equivalent, by state and other.: cooperative agencies, totalling Almost $100, 000 annually.

Dollars and Cents The value ot an education in dollars and cent? has been deter mined to be $9.25 for each day's schooling in the-case of farmers. The more education a farmer has had the more money he makes, the department of agriculture has de cided after surreys In twelve widely separted states. Analysis. shows that the, years spent in high school and college are repaid by .greater earning ca pacity when iam activities are undertaken and that even common school education is distinctly more advantageous .financially than no school education atall. The monetary value of an edu cation was arrived at y agricul tural extension workers by takinp 120,000 as the total earnings of an uneducational laborer over a 40-year period and ,140,000 as the total earnings of a high-school graduate who spent twelve years of approximately ISO days in ac quiring training. The "gain -in wages, $20,000, due to these 2160 days of school, represents a value of $9.25 a day during 'the period of schooling. The net annual profits of far mers in Georgia without any schooling was found to average $240, while those who had com mon school education earned S 565.50, high school graduates $664.50 and those who completed an agricultural college course earned $1254. Those who had taken only a short course earned $895.95, or almost three times as much as those with no education at all. In Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas the surveys showed again that the men with the best train ing made the largest incomes. In Missouri the better educated men own four-fifths of the land they operate, keep more livestock. handle more crops with each workman and do about one-fifth i iore business. Farmers ' in Wisconsin with a high school education acquired the ownership of their farms in about seven years, while it took 10 years for those with only a common school education to ac quire a clean title.

Wine May Be Eliminated r From French Table d'Hote PARI S- (AP) The famous French restaurant table d'hote known t'o the French as "prix fixe" is in a fair way to have wine definitely eliminated, -r The rapid rise in the price 9 of wine caused many restaurants to increase prices and others to make an extra charge. Those who did not take wine were penalized nev ertheless by the small charge in variably made in French restau rants for those who take no drink. The Prefect of Police, seeking to reduce prices, hopes soon to have the table d'hote price made without wine, which should be charged separately.
