(By H. L. MILLER) *
* Last spring, by hard work and *
* and by using all the persuasion *
* we were capable of, we succeed- ?
* ed in getting a group of farmers *
* to order enough material to mix *
* 188 tons of fertiliser. This *
* material delivered at Cofleld *
* cost less than $20.00 per ton on *
* an 8rS-8 basis, and we could have *
* saved two or three dollars per *
* ton on that if we had only order- *
??'ed earlier. This as you can ?
* readily see was quite a saving ?
* over the best cash price of any ?
* "mixed goods" offered in this *
* section last year. We not only ?
* saved 80 to 50 per cent on our ?
* fertilizer, but we got exactly ?
* the form of ammonia and potash ?
* that we needed, and the form ?
* that all experiment stations rec- ?
* ommend, the nitrate form. We ?
* used nitrate of potash?(a ma- ?
* terial containing 8 per cent am- ?
* monia and 16 per cent potash) )
* and acid phosphates which gave ?
* us a complete fertiliser and only *
* had to handle and mix the two *
* materials. This greatly simpli- *

Now that vacation days are bring
ing play to the fore for old and young,
It is worth recalling that sports and
games ever were magic touchstones to
geography and to those allied sciences
which provide the surest clues to how
peoples live, and work, and think.
In countless ways science has
learned about climates, and products,
and customs, and peoples of the past
from toys, games and sports. An en
tire new field of Investigation was
opened by the discovery that back
gammon, as played In Burma, also wag
known to the pre-Oolumbian Mexicans.
A new light is shed on an ancient
civilization when we learn that t^ere
was a law amnog the Persians by
which all children were to be taught
three things, horsemanship, shooting
with the bow and telling the truth.
Carthaginians and Phoenicians owed
something of ther maritime glory to a
love of Swimming, the sport by which
they first mastered their fear of the
see.
Equally significant In the history of
nations is the decline of their sports.
While the Persians observed Bis rigid
regimen of the chase, as prescribed by
Cyrus, their armies win victorious.
While Spartan youths followed the
rigorous discipline of Lycurgua, their
city was inviolate. Led by Alexander
the Great la ways of abnegation and
exercise, the Macedonians were in
vincible. The Romans extended their
civilization so long as their gymnasia
prepared youths to sndure long
marches and bear crushing hardens.
It Is fairly obvious that coasting is
a sport of the zone where zaow falls,
and reasonable that those peoples
moat generally proficient In swimming
should be found Is the equatorial
Islands, wheru limpid waters invite
surcease from the Scorching sun, but
less well known, perhaps, that card
and board gamaa developed In south
ern Asia, where neat for play la Just
as keen but temperature dampens the
ardor for exertion.
The reactions of geography and
sport see mutual. Ve the Netherlands
are traced the stilt aad the skate,
which even yet have their werfca-day

are playing fier the rest of the
world.

to the Individual aaad for a balanced

we illustrated by comments of civilian
writers in the figuring sones during

Right up to 19J4 It was afcnaft
bromldlc to laugh at tha Englishman
for putting his recreations In his
"Who's Who," alongside of matters
considered more weighty, and for pub
lishing massive tomes and cyclopedias
of sport, fto* the world knows that

Rugby, and tha fox-hunts of North
amptonshire had everything to do with
the bulldog determination with which

Some historians assert that the
Greek games formed the foundation
for the lucid thinking and the lofty
art concepts Ghat made her product
classic. Yet the Olympian and the
Pythian games at their best afforded
no such spontaneous, and at the same
time intricate, interplay of muscle and
mind as baseball.
Throwing, catching, and running ore
as old as man; but It took the Ameri
can genius for play, no less distinc
tive than, the American genius for
science, industry, and commerce, to
weld these motifs into a game that
puts a premium on skill, yet admits
of Infinite variety; that rawest youth
or trained athlete may play; and that
Presidents and office boys steal away
to watch.
If the Greeks paved the way for
classic aft by teaching adults to play
and Great Britain - followed In her
footsteps with a more spontaneous
end democratic fervor, America now
appears as the most forward-looking
nation in her attention to children's
playgrounds. There la nothing arti
ficial about the gomes taught to chil
dren on American playgrounds. They
are products of a rich heritage of
play tradition. Neither written history
nor the faint traces of prehistoric
times carry us back to a period when
children did net idey

Attica's tombs were uncovered dolls

miniature bed, with slats, for his
dolls, for boys formerly played with

held tn such high esteem by their
elders that whan the children grew
too old for thin they were offered te
patron gods.
