' Farm rnrk of most kiiulK is be ing held up to a considerable ex tent in 'this section by the back ward weather conditions which have 'been the order of the day ho.ro for much of the pnsl two weeks.'

The continued cold has proved ft serious draw-bark in letting the grass make n good start. Where stock have been allowed to graze in pastures the feed is getting very short again. (Many of the stock are quit thin in flesh and in some instances the ticks are said to be uusing considerable trouble with stock. Sheep men who have their sheep on past ure are feed Ing hay a nd grain in order to keep the ewes and lambs coming along in good shape. While the greater part of 'the lambing operations on the ( farms in this community has. been finished, the cold weather and orms.has been very severe on the lambs several weeks old, causing some losses In the larger bands. The deep drifts covering much of the ground In the higher sections of the county have been melting away very slowly recently and some of the fanners state that portions of their fields will not be dry enough for working for some time. !

In the opinion of Frank J.-, (ioodnuw, president of Johns Hopkins uni versity. i , "luiring this period, " he points out in his annual commemoration day address,- '"great strides have been made in the practical appli cations of scleni'e. 1 "The use of the Internal combus tion engine, both in transportation und industry, dates from the be ginning, of the present century. During that time we may notice, also, very great extension In'he use. of the telephone, and the be ginnings of the science and art of aviation. i "The discovery and application of wireless communication,, which has resulted In the present almost universal use of the radio ard also to be placed in this quarter nf a century.
