FAvoRs "RAcE SUICIDE"

Wisconsin soeiolosist Opposes Large
Families and Tells Why.
Americas "child CROP must be re-
stricted II the masses of the nation
are to be saved from degradation b
the 'specter of overpopuIation." ac-
cOrding to Professor Edward A. Ross,
the University Of Wisconsin sociolo-
gist. In an article in the current
American Journal of Sociology the
Wisconsin educator condemns large
families and says the principles Of
race suicide" are a blessing instead
of an evil.
Professor Ross article leads a dis
cussion by seven leading American
authorities, who were invited by the
Chicago professors to furnish their
views on the subject Several Of the
professors attacked his views.
Professor Ross declares his willing.
ness to array himself against all who
may condemn his views and enrolls
himself with those who hate famine
war, saber tooth competition, class an
tagonism, the degradation of the
masses, the wasting Of children. the
dwarfing Of women and the cheaper,

In the opinion of Professor Ross the
birth rate already shows that women
are already beginning to emanclpatC
themselves from the lot Of ''mothel

the Presidents choosing, Gov. Deneen
and all his followers will do their ut
most to execute the Presidents wishes,
notwithstanding the fact that the
President has been training in Illinois
politics with the reactionaries, such as
Speaker Cannon and Senator Cullom.
This was necessary. however, because
Speaker Cannon is a great power in
legislation. Otherwise he and Senator
Cullom might not have secured so
much of the fat Illinois patronage.
Again in New York, a great State
with a big delegation, the President
has a dominant faction ready to do
his bidding. If he wants to designate
Hughes as a favorite son for the pres
idential nomination it will probably be
difficult to stop him. The opposition
Republicas may fight him at every
turn. but the President has overcome
their opposition easily in former
struggles. Thus one might go through
list of other States to show that
tempting opportunities there are be-
fore the President to run campaign
for the nomination of his successor
simultaneously with his big campaign
for further railroad legislation. 1t Is
a big year for him and is likely to be
either the biggest year of all the seven
he serves in the White House or to be
a year of his greatest failures.
The political historians say that no
President, at least in the last half CEN
fury. has been able to dictate the name
of his successor. But there has never
been a big political campaign in this
country at which some important pre-
cedents were not smashed. Probably
no President in the last half century
has served to the close of a second
term and found himself so popular as
Roosevelt now is Lincoln, Of course,
was assassinated, before he reached
the close of his second term. Grant
was popular personally, although his
administration was not altogether ap-
proved of. Certainly no other Presi-
dent in modern times will have so ex-
tensive plans for the reform of the
government as Roosevelt will have
when he quits and therefore he has a
personal interest in the naming of his
successor that no other President in
modern times has had. And the con-
troll of delegations so as to nominate
the man he wants may prove to be the
climax of his wonderful career SO that
he will go down in national annals not
only as a President but as President
maker.

A COTTON COMBINE.

The farmers of Alabama have unit.
cd in a very effective organization
whose prime object is to get control
OF the cotton production of the state
so as to be in position to demand a
better price for it. In the past they
seem to have been at the mercy Of the
cotton traders and spectators, who
have SO manipulated matters that the
grower got but paltry price for his
pick. Practically all of the large cot
ton growers Of the state are members
Of the organization Large storehouses
have been erected at convenient poir IS,
SO that if good price does not prevail
when the crop is ready to market it
may be stored and held until prices
pick up. Although in existence but a
short time, the organization has al
ready saved the cotton growers of the
state hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A ROSE EXPERIENCE.

Ihose OF our readers who are grow
Ing roses may be interested in an ex-
perience with a Mamon Cochet rose
Which the writer has had the past
winter and spring. With desire to be
good TO the plant and at the same time
to superlL luce thrifty growth, the
pot was half filled with a supply of
manure last fall and earth placed on
top, in which the rose was set. Before
long it was evident that the job of fer
Illlzlng had been overdone as the new
leaves that We're produced turned yell
low and dropped by the time they we're
tWo-thirds grown. This operation was
repeated at an interval of some seven
weeks later, being undoubtedly due to
a surplus Of fertilizer aH4 an excess Of
ammonia given off. Finally an equi-
librium of soil condition seems to have
been restored, and two large thrifty
shoots were sent out, which produced
roses tnat were ample reward for all
OF the pains which had been taken in
caring for the plant. Just now an en-
tlrely new shoot has started from the
root and rises perpendicularly to dis
lance of two feet above the pot, and
there will likely be a growth of eight
inches more by the time the blossom
is matured. The blossom will be of
the So dozen kind. Our experience
has proved quite conclusively that,
while the matter Of fertilizing may be
easily overdone, roses must have nour-
ishInent if they are to do we'll In nine
cases out of ten stunted, weakened
plants are simply in slow process OF
starvation and need feeding.

ADULTERATIoN OF CLOVER SEED

Carrying out instructions contained
In a recent law passed by congress, the
departure of agriculture at Washing
ton has been making an Investigation
of the purity of red clover seed offered
for sale by seedmen located at differ
ent points in the country. Out of 1921
samples received 116 were found to
contain seeds of the destructive para
site plant dodder, while FIVE were
found to be adulterated with yellow
trefoil. Seed of the last named plant
costs but 5 cents per pound and is
often used by dishonest seedsmen as
an adulterant Of red clover seed. In
the samples analysed trefoil was found
to be present in quantities varying
from 500 to 52.74 per cent. The
pamphlet Issued stated not only the
fact Of adulteration, but gives the
names Of the offending firms 1t fur
Their states that if farmers and seeds
men who are in doubt about the purity
OF the seed they buy will forward sam
pies they will be examined and results
reported promptly and free of charge.

THE PockET eoPHER PEST.

In many sections of the country the
pocket gopher is becoming a positive
pest particularly in the untitled por-
lions of the farm areas. While traps
have been devised which answer the
purpose fairly well, they do not seem
capable of destroying the gopher in
sufficient numbers to prevent their rap
Id increase. In meadows especially
they work mischief, the mounds Of
earth which they heap up not only
tending to Kill out the grass but prov
ing an annoyance and hindrance to the
moving machine at haying time
Among the plans which have been rec
commended for getting rid of them
that of poisoning them seems to be the
most satisfactory. The first thing to
do is to locate their runways, which
lie along the general direction Of the
mounds which are visible on the sur
face of the ground This may be done
most easily by thrusting an end gate
rod into the ground. When it is locat-
ed, a hole should be dug to the runway
and a piece of apple or potato placed
therein on which arsenic has been
placed, or corn may be used which has
been soaked in a solution of strych-
nine. The opening should then be
closed, care being taken to disturb the
runway as little as possible. If the
first treatment does not fix the offend
er, it may be repeated in a different
place.
