Special reports made to the United
States Department of Agriculture
from 30 states In which co-operative
hog-cholera work is being conducted
indicate an Increased use of antihog-
cholera serum as a protection against
hog cholera. Apparently, the unusual
prevalence of the disease In the fall
of 192G did much to impress farmers
with the proteutial danger of the
malady and stimulated action In the
adoption of preventive methods.
Protection by Serum.
The spring crop of pigs received ex­
tensive protection by the preventive-
serum treatment, the number Immu­
nized ranging from 10 to 75 per cent
of the entire production in the 30
states, according to the reports.
There was also an increase In the
number of herds immunized. These
factors, no doubt, are largely respon­
sible for the sudden drop in the death
rate from cholera compared with that
of lost year.
The reports also Indicated at the
time they were submitted that, with
the exception of Arkansas, Maryland,
Michigan, North Carolina and Ken­
tucky, the other states had suffered
no greater losses from cholera this
year than they had In 1924 and 1925,

NEW WHIPPET CAR
A MOTOR MARVEL
One of the sensations In the automo­
bile world la the perfected "Whippet”
produced by the Willys Overland, Inc.,
and It Is direct evidence that John N.
Willys, president of the corporation,
proposes to make good on his decla­
ration that “there can be no monopoly
In the light car field,” The perfected
car, and the price at which It Is
offered, placing It directly In compe­
tition with the lowest priced cars, has
centered the eyes of the automobile
Industry and the motor car world In
general on the enterprising Toledo
manufacturer. It makes him the first
manufacturer of automobiles to enter
the price field heretofore exclusive to
but one light car manufacturer.
The "Whippet,” which hns been In
production for more than 18 months,
bolds the national fuel economy rec­
ord of 43.28 miles to the gallon In a
test between Los Angeles and New
York City, covering a distance of 3,559
miles, under official observation of the
A. A. A. In a speed test on Rocking-
bam Speedway, Salem, N, H„ a
•■Whippet" recently attained a speed
of 71.0 miles an hour over a 50-mlle
route. This was officially timed.
The same engine that has accom­
plished these records Is the power
plant employed In the perfected
"Whippet,” now offered at the lowest
price In the history of Willys Overland
The "Whippet” was the first light
car to be equipped with four wheel
brakes, setting a new trend In the
light car field. The braking nrea of
the "Whippet’s” brakes Is greater
than any other light car.
Details of the perfected “Whippet”
disclose a wider range of colors, em­
ployment of full crown fenders, a
new cadet sun visor that Imparts a
smart military effect, and the addition
of automatic windshield cleaner, rear
view mirror, and a combination rear
driving light and stop light. These
additions make the “Whippet” the
niost fully equipped light cur built In
•he four cylinder field.
Various Trades Offer
Occupation to Blind
Blind men are employed In many
engineering factories. In one German
electrical concern, says the annual
report of the National Institute for
the Blind, more than one hundred
sightless people are employed, while
double that number are being trained.
Blindness.it Is said. Is no hindrance
to a man looking after two or even
three automatic machines. The aver­
age earning capacity of a blind oper­
ative in these works Is considered to
be about 80 per cent of that of a
normal-sighted man.
Ninety blind persons employed In
French engineering trades earn about
85 per cent of full wages, A motor
factory In America employs 44 blind
men, who are given the work for
which they seem most competent.

Application on Fields
The result of experiment on 27 Illi­

ment over the larger part of the
state. Applications of limestone are
worthwhile. On light colored soils
limestone Is 20 per cent more effec­
