Poetry In Mourning,

There is poetry in mourning colors.
Black typ1es the solemn midnight
gloom, the total deprivation Of light
and Joy occasioned by the loss of
friends The Persians mourn in pale
brown, the color Of withered leaves.
Ihe Ethioplans affect grayish
brown, The color Of the earth to which
Inc bodies of the dead return. In Syria
shyblue Is the color of mourning, In
dcatiro Of the assurance that the de-
ceased has gone to heaven. Purple,
'ne mourning Of kings, is said to be
oeriyed from the purple garment
winch the Roman soldiers put upon
DnHst when they mockingly hailed
hlm as King Of the Jews"

lily on one field for more than sixty
years without the loss OF fertility. Elk
amples Of what will happen when the
fertility is not kept up are plentiful in
every farming region.
Weeds outgrow the Wheat.
Those in charge Of the work at
Rothamstead have found that on
such a field there Is no evidence that
the yield is becoming less, although
the vigor Of the plant decreases. The
principal difficulty has been that GER
tain weeds have found conditions on
the wheat field SO satisfactory that it
is next 10 impossible 10 keep out the
pests. Wheat cannot survive long in
competition with weeds. The average
for more than sixty years has been
thirteen bushels to the acre. which is
about equal to the general average for
the United States and for the other
large wheat producing countries.
AS a result of the first discovery
that nitrogen could be fixed in the soil
the fertility of many field has been
restored by means OF a proper rotation
of crops Now that one OF the worst
enemies of fertility has been located 1t
seems reasonable to believe that an
other almost equally important step
has been taken for the Improvement
OF agricultural conditions.
