Towards the end ! of the 17th century a wheat-laden ves­ sel was wrecked on the west coast of England near Bristol Farmers of j the vicinity salvaged some of the I grain which, being found unsuitable | for grinding into flour, was used as | seed. One observant farmer observ- I * ed that the wheat grown from the j brine-soaked salvaged seed was freer I from smut than was the crop produc- 3 ed from home-grown seed. j Writers of rhe eighteenth century I refer to the practice of brining seed ? grain and to the influence of sea wat- | er in reducing the incidence of smut. But ,say*s the Farm News Letter of the C-I-L, it was no longer neces-1 sary* to wreck a ship in order to pro- ij cure the treated seed, any* more than I it was to burn down piggeries for the | gratification of appetite on roast I pork, which was done in ancient China | fololwing Bo-Bo’s discovery* of the i delicacy*., if one is to believe “The | Essay of Elia” by Charles Lamb, in 1 his “Dissertation Upon Roast Pig.”! This was another epoch-making accl-| dental discovery that led eventually j to the invention of the gridiron.

Smoothly as the clock ticks, these new Chevrolets come rolling “off the line”—round and round the test track —through the Mfine tooth comb” of a score or more inspec­ tions—then straight to you, wherever you live, by train and boat and highway carrier.

One of the greatest dangers is giving an excess of sug­ ars, such as candy, jam or marmalade. Sugars are of value to supply* calor­ ies or energy, yet due to their pleas­ ant taste children invariably are in­ clined to take too much of these sweet foods.
