WET AND DRY MOONS.
Old Superstition and Cold Facts From
the Astronomers.

Old Superstition and Cold Facts From
the Astronomers.
There is an old superstition which
dies hard, and that Is that the posi-
ton of the horns of the new moon
tells what the weather will be. If the
horns Of the crescent are on the same
level it will hold water, and hence 1t
is a dry moon, but If it is tipped up
then the water will run out, and it ia
a wet moon.
One thing has helped keep this be-
lief alive. The moon is dry in the
part Of the spring that is usually fair,
while it Is "wet" during the season Of
autumn rains,
If this were i Sure sign Of the
weather we could have our predic.
tions published many years in ad.
vance, for an astronomer can predict
the exact position Of the moon at any
time in the future. r.
The cause for the different positions
of the crescent is simple. The moon is
south Of the SUN in the autumn and
north of it in spring. The crescent is
found by the light of the sun falling
on the moon, and the horns are natu:
rally in a line perpendicular to the di
rection Of the sun from the moon
That Is all there is to this old super.

Confucius.

Confucius regarded his own life as a
failure. He spoke against ambition,
yet he coveted high Office, nothing less
than that of political adviser to some
great ruler. A man of the highest
lineage in China, he was vet poor and
early supported himself by teaching.
His pupils showed him an extraordi-
nary devotion. The pick Of the young
men in his native state of Lu sat at
his feet, and it was they who trans
mitted his tremendous influence. But
Confucius saw not his immortal sue
cess, but his temporal failure. Only
for a few brief years did circumstances
permit him to exercise his practical
genius for government. He became
first a magistrate, then chief criminal
Judge in LII, and, to quote Professor
Legge, "crime ceased" Confucius,
however, became dissatisfied with the
ruler whom he served, a weak man
who neglected his duty and gave him.

Speaking of the doings Of the veter-

Honest John Kelly is entitled to the
record for freak doings among the In

can association days, in q game played
on the old Union grounds in Alleghe.
ny, Calvin was pitching for Pittsburg
against Casey Of the Athletics. Kelly
was the umpire. In the ninth inning,
with the score 8 to o in favor
Of the Athletics, the first man up for
Pittsburg made a home run lit to cen
ter, and the visiting team at once set
up claim that it was too dark to play.
The center fielder came all the way
in and pretended that he could not see
the ball in the gathering darkness.
"Here," said Kelly; "give me a glove"
and with that he started for center
field. "1ll see how dark It is out there"
he said. "You, Casey and Calvin, bat
me out a few" Players and specta-
tors gasped, but Kelly made good his
bluff. he went out to deep center
and, with the smoke Of the mills lying
low about him, actually caught ten or
fifteen long line drives and high dies
fyom the bats Of the two pitchers with
out missing one.
: Then the umpire came in and, taking
OF his glove, said: "Play ball. II I can
see 'em out there, you fellows can"

quoted 10 the exclusion OF other methods,
that the profits from such a method have
gradually decreased until they, reached
the vanishing point and farming has
been conducted a, a loss.
One of the very important things at
the present time is to awaken an inter-
est in alfalfa in the minds of the farm
ing public and bring wildly to them q
sense of the value of the crop. This
can be done in q measure by the expert
ment stations. The stations will con-
duct experiments with alfalfa and they
will also serve as centers of inspiration
for the work. Farm papers also will be
of the greatest importance in spreading
information and interest regarding The.
GUILTY. walton Of alfalfa. The Dakota
Farmer. for instance. has already de-
voted much energy and space to the
discussion of alfalfa. This organ has
perhaps done more to interest the farm
ers of the Dakotas in alfalfa than n
other single AGENCY. unless it be the
United States Department of Aericul-
ture.
ALFALFA CULTIVATION eEsET
WITH DIFFICULTIES.
While the outlook for the cultivation
of alfalfa in North Dakota is excellent.
yet it must not be forgotten that there
are certain difficulties to be overcome
of no small moment. As stated pre-
viously, it is the Grimm alfalfa that
the farmers of the Dakotas must depend
upon as that is practically the only
alfalfa available that is hardy enough
for our conditions. There are probably
not more than 5000 acres of Grimm
alfalfa being grown at the present time
1t is from this small acreage that we
must look to for the seed to increase our
sowings. If a considerable portion of
this acreage and of succeeding acreaees
were devoted to seed production. then
the comparatively large acreage could be
sown to Grimm alfalfa each year. As
a matter of fact, much of the crop will
be devoted to hay production and the
sources of seed will thus be cut off. It
is scarcely putting it too strongly to say
that it is a public duty that the Grimm
alfalfa be increased as rapidly as pos
sible. Any n having Grimm alfalfa
becomes a public benefactor in devoting
the acreage to seed production.
GRIMM SEED IN DEMAND
There will soon be a great demand for
Grimm Alfalfa seed. Inscriptions
dealers will not hesitate to sell common
alfalfa seed for the Grimm. This will
work a hardship upon the farmer. 1t
would be a wise thing for the state to
regulate in some measure the sale of
alfalfa seed and require seed sold as
Grimm to be properly certified to. It
will probably be found that the produc-
tion of alfalfa seed is a profitable ven
ture in North Dakota. In 1909. the
Dickinson experiment station produced
alfalfa seed at the rate of SO bushels
per acre. At the present prices of seed
this would mean an income of at least
$500 per acre. Doubtless these figures
are above the average. Even a yield of
2H bushels per acre would be profitable.
