REPORT ON WHEAT CONDITION On the basis of present acreage and condition Ohio will harvest about 37 per cent of normal winter wheat crop. This figure is*given in a report to the Greene County Farm Bureau by M. R, Maney of the grain sales depart­ ment of'the Ohio Farm Bureau Feder­ ation and is based on replies to in­ quiries from 73 of the 88 counties in the state. Mr. Money’s survey showed that about 126 per cent of normal acreage was seeded last fall, but that 67 per cent of this acreage has been aban­ doned this spring- Estimates given in some counties ran as-low as 5 pel* cent. ' \ For the past five years Ohio has produced an average of about 33,000,- &0O bushels, which would indicate a production this year of about 12,000,- 000 bushels. "With' from two to three fhilUon of this needed for .seed, some iO,000,000 bushels will move to mar­ ket on present indications. 4 V ■ a • ? p,> / 4 ' j'X \ ■ \ of CednrviUe College—Top row, Robert Duffey, Dallas r Hickman.

Tt 4 number, size, distance, composition and classi­ fication of toe stars and planets are studied at our observatories. The most elaborate astronomical Workshop in ail the World is located on Mt. Wilson just outside of Pasa­ dena, in southern California. The Mt. Wilson observatory o f toe Carnegie Institution is about a mile above sea level. This'important research labo­ ratory was built under the able direc­ tion of Dr. George Hale, who also lar classification; and at British Co lumbia, our sister country on the north, where toe radial velocities of the stars are Studied. Important in­ vestigations and researches are car* ried on by the Van Vleck observatory of Wesleyan College, the Dearborn observatory of Northwestern, the Le under McCormick observatory of the University of Virginia, the Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, the Sprowl Observatory of Swarthmore, and by the Yale Observatory in New Haven. The finest astronomer's workshop in the state is the Perkins Observa­ tory, located at Delaware, Ohio. ThC third largest telescope in the world is found in this beautiful memorial building.

The study of radial velocities, spectroscopic binaries and double stars, as well as solar eclipse phenom­ ena, are soma of the research inves­ tigations that are carried outsat this observatory.

In addition to the telescope, onj of the most important instruments of an Up-to-date astronomer’s workshop is the spectroscope, an apparatus for studying spectra. At one time we were content to say "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are-— Up above the world so high Like a diamond irt the sky.” But now we. are inclined to say "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, Now we know just what you are— When wo to the evening sky I)o the spectroscope apply.” The work of Uncle John Brarihear of Pittsburg has made many of the important observatories possible thru bis untiring efforts in grinding ob* jeetivea and polishing mirrors.

No doubt in the near future New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleve­ land ahd many other o f our larger cities will have similar planetariums, America has made wonderful prog­ ress in astronomical discovery, but has .lingered behind in the popular presentation of toe oldest-of the sci­ ences. There are scores of 'cities in America that are sufficiently intelli­ gent and can well afford ,as good a planetarium as any in Europe, If it is possible for you to visit a large planetarium, be sure to take advantage of this rare opportunity.'
