VOII L
FARMING TO BE ON
SCIENTIFIC BASIS
Writer Sees Agriculture Be
coming Centralized.
After studying the existing facts
carefully and seriously, 1 cun Imag
ine the future unrolling In somewhat
the following fashion:
With the progress of science and a
a more diffusion of knowl
-*■ edge than there has bei-n In the past,
the development of agriculture should
compare favorably with that of me
chanical Industry. Thofugli the odds
are against revolutionary discoveries,
there will be a marked advance in
agriculture as an art; and in a coun
try having a considerable density ol
population this will-require a real met
amorphosis In agriculture as a busi
ness.
A' § the complexity of the situation
luci :cs, thus demanding more and
more in the way of capital and knowl
edge, both the little farmer and the
Inefficient- farmer will be forced to
the wall. There will be a survival
of the Attest.
Paralleling the tendency of the last
20 years in manufacturing there will
be a trend toward larger units. Suc
cessful farming will require compe
tent managers und highly paid special
ists, and these can be retained only
.where there is a relatively large pro
duction.
To what lengths centralization will
go, no one can say. The limit will
surely be different in the various
branches of husbandry. It Is not like
ly, for example, that Individual con
trol can oecome as extensive in grow
ing fresh vegetables for Immediate
consumption as In raising wheat and
corn. But it seems quite probable that
ultimately there will be agricultural
undertakings comparable in size and
scope to the United States Steel cor
poration. They will build up volun
tarily because of the advantages of
fered.
There will be large farms growing
as few crops as the exigencies of sci
entific farming permit, managed by
business executives of high caliber and
superintended by men adequately
trained In the natural sciences and In
farm practice. These farms will be
firmly united into mutual-benefit as
sociations having a single directive
policy.
Planting will be controlled and over
production prevented. Standardized
products will be sold, and sold through
out the year In quantities .iust meet
ing the current market demands, thus
eliminating outside speculation. Mar
gins now eaten up by middlemen, both
from small quantity buying and from
lack of economy lh selling, will go to
swell the annual balance of the grow
ers themselves.
In brief the methods which have
made the American manufacturer suc
cessful will make the American fann
er successful. —E. M. in Scrib
ner's Magazine,
To .Observe Sun Spots
A very small telescope, or even an
ordinary field-glass or opera glass, will
afford the reader a view of sun spots
at .a time of solar activity. The
safest way to observe them is to point
the instrument at the sun and focus
the eyepiece until a sharj lmuge of Us
disk, several inches In diameter, is
projected on a surface of smooth white
cardboard held at a distance of from
two to four feet. The spots can easily
be distinguished from specks on the
eyepiece by noticing that they move
with the sun's image. At present we
are Just emerging from a period of
solar calm during which no spots have
been seen for weeks at a time. Hut
a new cycle of activity has already "be
gun, and a few spots are beginning to
appear. The reader hardly needs to
be warned that If he wishes to look
directly with his telescope, field glass
or opera glass he must protect his
eyes wlthjhe blackest of smoked glass,
as the Intensely bright Image would
otherwise seriously Injure them. —By
George Ellerly Hale In Serlbner's.
Catches Faint Sounds
Sounds made by small insects gen
erally believed to be absolutely mute
may be heard by a microphone report
ed to have been computed recently by
scientists of an eastern electrical con
cern, according to Popular Mechanics

to be canght by the human ear are
■aid to be recorded by the device,
which registers the waves as they dis

THE ALAMANCE GLEAINER.
Women Surely Have Keen
; Sense of Money Valuta
it the average woman were without
a sense of money values, as charged
• by a budget expert, the average Amer
ican family would have less money In
the bank than It hns. Eliminating the
! girl who lives at home and can spend
her earnings for pretty things, and
, whose extravagance Is one of thp
manifestations of her youth, it would
t have been fairer* to say the average
housewife of America has a very keen
appreciation of the value of money
[ and how hard It Is for the husband ta
earn it. It is probably quite true that
, women do not budget their expenses;
neither did • the great United States
| government until a few years ago. If
the budget expert would go into the
i stores patronized by the wives of wage
. earners and note with wl»at care and
, anxiety the customers spend their
money and how anxious they are to
t get full value, she might revise her
I Judgment a bit. With due to
the paragraphers, the women are
, shrewd buyers. The hardly saved dol
, lars which milk so large In savlhgs
[ fund reports and bank deposits are
where they are because the women of
the country have put them there, often
against the will of their husbands.
The average man is a much swifter
spender than a woman, and despite
the jokes of the paragraphers and
?oinlc artists, all women do not throw
away money on Innumerable hats and
gowns. The budget expert did less
1 than Justice to her own sex when she
criticized their financial acumen.—

Javanese Houses by No
Means Things of Beauty
The clay walls which surround a
Hallnese farm In Java are usually two
or three meters high. Very often they
1 rest upon a foundation of stones and
are covered with a heavy layer of
rushes which are to protect them from
destructive tropical rains. A door In
the wall Is closed at night with "wood
en or bamboo planks, the Detroit
News states.
The walls around farms of "poeng- ,
' gavas" or district mayors, are usually
built of more substantial material.
[ The same Is true of the, homes of
Ballnese princes. Yet while these
latter houses may be elaborately dec
' orated they resemble the more humble
dwellings In that they are exceedingly
filthy. The nutherous members of the
family—parents, brothers, sisters,
nieces, nephew*, married or unmar
! ried—live in a house.
The pigs, dogs and goats found on
every Ballnese farm are kept In a
separate hut, ~3"he loan huts are usu
t ally built tipon wooden elevations and
are exceedingly ugly and ungainly.
On each farm one will also find
bamboo baskets to house the fowls.
Words We Have Clipped
A few years ago a music-hall come
dian made a great hit by clipping fa
miliar words, and we still hear him
Imitated in colloquial conversation,
London Tlt-Blts says. People say "lm
posß" for impossible, "biz" for busi
ness and **pash" for passion.
But such clipped words are not des
tined to appear In any dictionary, and
we must go hack much farther In the
history of words to find that when we
say: "He led the van," we mean the
"vanguard"; when we speak of a pair
of van horses, we mean "cervan";
when we retire to the "drawing room,"
we ought to say the with drawing
room; when we talk of a "hobby" we
refer to riding A "hobby-horse"; when
we talk of sport we mean "disport"
of "tending" we mean "attending," or
n "cute" lawyer we mean acute, and
of a "still" we mean a distillery.
Cluck! Cluckl
A tourist was driving her motor car

she noticed a farmer with a yoke of

Thinking that the team night turn

Man's Mind Ever in
Abject Grip of Fear
Primitive man began his existence
on earth under conditions that caused
his hair to stand on end a n tides
In the day of - thrilling adventures.
When he looked arouiul him It waa
with an anxious, watchful eye for en
emies, and an ear strained to catch
the h'owlings of strange beasts.
It was with reluctance he surren
dered his consciousness ut night, for
there was no security about his rude
couch. He looked up at the sky with
no sense of friendly aid to be sought
there, but rather with crnven flfead
of some malign Intent In the strange
movements of the stars and in the
periodic appearance of flaming
comets.
Man lived for countless ages with
fear at his elbow, and the centuries
of his advance In knowledge and cul
ture have not enabled him to rid him
self of the monster, says E. V. Odle
in P.' T.'s nnd Cassell's Weekly. One
result of this is that the language of
almost every civilization abounds with
taboos and superstitions, while even
a good innny of the sayings of the
great are colored with the emotions
of fear.
Science has disposed of superstition,
but It hns come t» understand only
a very little more ahonj the emotion
of fear. It ,1s only In his heed and
In his heart that man Is sometimes
a hero; in the pit of his stoirlTtcli he
Is always a coward. Physiologically,
the emotion of fear hits us very lit
erally below the belt. It affects the
great network of nerves situated under
the diaphragm and known as the solar
plexus. These nerves nre closely as
sociated with all the most vital or
gans and they control the very pilot
upon which the humun mechanism
works. Hence, the "sinking feeling"
that we experience In momeuts of fear
is due to an actual relaxation of the
diaphragm itself and the consequent
embarrassment of the heart and the
pulmonary system.
"Science has also discovered that
the sense (It fear, when It becomes
intensified, tends to produce a well
marked condition known In jupdlcal
terms as a phobia. There are agroa
phohia or fear in crowds; monophobia,
or fright of being In a confined space;
anthrapliobla, or fright of society;
bathophobla, or fright of things fall
ing; siderodromophobia, or fright of
railway traveling.
Tells a Pathetic Story
It Is a two-Inch strip of olgnr-box
wood, with a half-Inch hole rudely
whittled through 'lt at one end, and
with soiled strings of,, cloth nttached.
It occupies a place In the collection of
curious things In the offlco of Br.
Sydney Ussher, the chaplain stationed
by the Episcopal City mission at the
City home on Welfare Island.
The whittled hole, Doctor Ussher I
explains, was once filled with a glass
lens from a broken pair of spectacles, |
and the strings of cloth were used
as ear loops. An old Inmate of the
Institution, who had lost the use of
one eye entirely and was almost
blind In the other, had laboriously
contrived a home-made eyeglass In
order that he might not lose touch ut
terly with the news of the big city
across the river.
6 "It Is often necessary," said Doc
tor Ussher, "to help with little per
sonal problems that the city cannot
look after. The city provides good
medical talent «ond excellent nursing
care for our old folk, but the cost
of eyeglasses has never been In
cluded In a municipal appropriation.
Sometimes I am asked to play the
part of a semi-professional oculist In
the hope that the long days may be
made a little less difeary for the poor
people whose lives are ending here."—

How Public Opinion
Savfd Virgin Fore«t
Bordering the highway along the
coast of Oregon not far south from
the mouth of the Columbia river was
a fine stretch of virgin forest. This
picturesque stcatch of road was known
far and wide, says Nature Maguzlne
of Washington. The property border
ing the highway and the timber be
longed to a paper company. When the
price of paper advanced a few years
ago, the ax, the cross-cut sow and the
; donkey engine began an advance along
j the highway. The print upon the very
I paper they had made carried a story
1 of the annihilation of the bcuuty spot
I to the people. The value of public
opinion soon overtopped the high
price of pulp. The corporation had a
legal right to go on with the cutting,
but they stopped operations because
the virgin forest bordering the high
way was really worth more as scenery
than aa pulp. Since then the puper
company has been reforesting this
area.

GREATEST VOLCANIC
ERUPTION ON RECORD
.The most spectacular volcanic erup- '
lion thnt ever occurred was the erup- j
tt««r. of Krukalon, in the Malay
archipelago, in 1883. This was, un- |
doubteiti.v, the :most stupendous event j
or tne kind thnt has occurred within j
the period of volcano observation.
The great fritter of Krukatoa rose
to the surface of the sea in a series
of peaks. One of these was the is
land of Krnkaton, Which projected :
above the water to a height of near- j
ly 3,000 feet, says Marry A. Stewart
In the American Magazine. On |
August' 2fl, 48S.'t, a succession of vio
lent explosions began which lasted
until the morning of August 28. Half
of the island was blown Into frag
ments. Where one of the peaks, 1,100 I
feet high, had stood was a submarine
cavity more than a thousand feet
deep. i ' ,
The mass of stones and dust thrown
upon some of the adjacent Islands was
so great as to bury their forests and
largely augment their land area. The
actual sounds of the explosions were f
so great that they were hoard at
Rodriguez. 3,000 miles atviiy. Never i
before or since have sound . waves |
been heard "at such vyry great dis
tances.
