Boy Farm Leaders
One ol the most interesting talks
m ade at the recent national en
cam pm ent of the 4-11 Clubs of
firm buys and girls he'd in Wash-
ington was made by E verett Say
lor of D ecatur county, Iowa, wb<
sketched the results of his eight
years of club wora.
He began with pigs and throng!
th m became interested in alfalfa,
which in turn led him to study
problem s of soil fertility. T o makr
the story short, through the ex-
am ple set by this club boy a larg>
urea in his county has now beer
planted to alfalfa, which has proved
t ) he a most desirable and profit
able addition to the resources of
th e com m unity.
A notb erclu b boy, C.D.M cM illar
o f S partanburg county, South C ar
olina, told of net profits of $ 1,20
m ade in spare tim e in eight yean
of club work in pig, poultry and
cotton projects. He also said that
th e keeping of records and account
in connection with these activities
had been of great value to him.
On such boys and th e ir leader
ship will largely depend the suc
cess of agriculture in tlfe future.
Bovs thoroughly trained in club
work and who will be the farmers
of tomorrow, are a success frotr
th e beginning of th eir farm m an
agement.
Dissatisfied Voters
The period ju st following presi-
d en tisi nom inating conventions is
m arked by m utlerings from those
who are dissatisfied with either th e
platform or candidates of their
respective parties.
Such di content usually brings
about discussion of a th ird party,
although b u t once eiuce th e civil
war has this discontent brought
out a th ird party candidate who
was u n fo rtu n ate enough to h tv e
a representation on the ballot, and
th a t was in 1912 when the revolt
of the progressive wing of the re
p u blican party sacrificed Theodore
Koisevelt and W ilson was elected.
The discontent th is tim e ie not
so pronounced ss in 1912 and in
nil probability will soon hum
out and leave the atm osphere clear
for a good, clean cam paign on
p a rty platform s.
Utilities Pay Heavy Tax
th eir respective peoples th a t they
condemn recourse to war and re
nounce it as au in stru m en t of n a
tional policy In their relations with
one another
They agree th a t the
settlem ent of all disputes of w hat
ever nature or of whatever origin
which may a r s e between them
shall ne ar be sought except hv
pacific m eans.”
So far as the actua'. agreem ent
ie concerned, th a t is all. A et in
these two short sentences are con
tained pledges which, if faithfully
kept, would banish war from a
great portion of the earth. It is al
so provided th a t other nations may
join in these pledges at any time.
Whi e it is perhaps too much o
hope th a t war can be entirely
abolished, these treaties, to which
the United States. G reat B ritain,
G erm any, France, Ita ly , Japan
and nine other nations have a l
ready given inform al assent, if
actually signed will mark the great-
eat practical step in the in terest of
peace ever taken since I he dawn
of civilization.
Grading Products for Market
No farm er would rxpect to sell
at a goo 1 price n barrel filled with
onions, cucum bers, turnips and
p da toes all mixed together. It is
aim st a« foolish to expect to get
the best m arket price for a barrel
>f a single product in which all
>orts are dum ped w ithout regard to
dze. color or cleanliness.
By neglecting to propeily grade
'h sir produce, m any farm ers must
sell it for m uch less th a n m ight
be obtained for the same stuff by
exercising a little care in preparing
it for the m arket. In discussing
this im p o rtan t phase of m arketing
an expert says:
‘‘Q uality and uniform ity in fru it,
grains,potatoes, dairy and poultry
products com m and a prem ium

It Is generally known that the colors

direct ratio to the amount of «un
tight, soniblned with coolness of tein-
perature, w ithin certain limits. Exam
ples are the Intense redness o f apples
grown in northern climates, and the
deep colors of Alpine vegetation. But
the soil and oilier Influences also have
an effect upon plant colors.
Experiments have been made w ithin
recent years with reference to the
question of artificial control of the
colors of plants through the introduc
tion of such chemicals into the soil In
which they grow. In very small quan
tities such chemicals ure absorbed
without apparent injury, but the ef
fect upon the colors is slight, l ’ellow
roses appear to become deeper In

Theory of Arrhenius
Svante August Arrhenius, the noted
Swedish chemist and physicist, be
lieves that life Is an interstellar ele
ment and may he transmitted from
one planet to another. According to
his conception, life ie universally d if
fused and is constantly emitted from
alt habitable worlds iu the form of
spores. These spores traverse space
for years, and possibly ages. The ma
jo rity of them are ultimately de
stroyed by the beat of some blazing
star, but some few, he thinks, find a
resting place on bodies which have
already reached the habitable stage.
Life, according to Arrhenius, may al
so be transmitted from one heavenly
body to another by means of meteors.
