INTENSIVE FARMING
Legume Crops and the Nitrogen Supply

There can be no doubt that the
greatest deficiency of Kentucky soils
is nitrogen. A deficiency OF one ele-
ment OF plant food limits crop produc-
ton, although all the other elements
might DO present In abundance. Hence
the greatest single factor in restor-
ing our soils 10 fertility is increas-
~ the nitrogen supply. No one, not

contends that nitrogen can be pro-
fitably bought In commercial fertili-
gers in quantities required by crops.
There is only one source from which
nitrogen may be economically obtain

nitrogen supply cannot be kept up
by merely growing legumes in

not returning the manure in good con-
ditioD. Two thirds Of the nitrogen of
the manure is excreted in the urine.

STRIKE TO END

The disturbance in the anthracite
coal region of Pennsylvania which be-
San as "a vacation" and developed
until 1t resulted in riot and blood
shed, came to an end, Wednesday,
the mine workers in convention hav-
ing voted by a large majority to ac-
cept the agreement entered into
by subcommittee with the coal
operators.
THE LARGEST AFLOAT
The Texas, technically called a
superdreadnaught, a new battleship
to be the largest and most powerful
in the world, was launched at New
port News, Va, Saturday. The New
York, sister ship, is to be launched
in July. 1t will be noted that the
New York and the Texas, for which
these two new ships ara named.
covered themselves with glory in
tho Spanish-American war. The Tex
as is 573 feet long, and has a beam
Of 50 feet IL inches. She will have
only fifteen feet to spare in passing
the Panama Canal locks. She will be
the first ship in the world to carry
fourteen inch guns, of which she has
ten distributed In five turrets.
SOCIALISTS MAKE EASY SELEC-
TION
In comparison with the bitter con-
test of the Republican party for the
presidential nomination and the un-
certainty among the Democratic
contestants, the Socialists have given
the country splendid example of
harmony, Eugene V. Debbs having
been chosen on the first ballot at
the convention held in Indianapolis
the 18th, while Emil Seidel, former
Mayor of Milwaukee, was chosen Vice
President. This is the third or fourth
time for Debbs. and Bryan need not
be discouraged.
WHY NOT RAISE GOATS
Five hundred million goat skins
have been imported into the United
States during the last decade, and the
money sent out of the country in
payment therefor amounts to $50
million dollars. The number of goats
whose skins are represented by this
$50 million dollars is approximately
500 million. Why not raise them in
this country.

throng.
Tuesday is a reunion of the Voca-
tional graduates. They will hold their
first meeting in the Upper Chapel
at $3.50 p. M, and a public meeting
In the Main Chapel at night The
Vocational classes are attracting more
and more attention and already their
graduates form a numerous and i'm
portant body in the citizenship of
the state and surrounding states. We
may expect that the night meeting
win be one of very general interest.
Commencement day begins with
the procession from Ladies' Hall
at $3.50 precisely. The first hour in
the tabernacle, from nine O'Clock, is
devoted to exhibits of the Vocation
al Schools, the second hour to the
graduates of the Normal Department,
the last hour to the graduates of the
College, and at high noon President
Frost will announce the degrees and
present and confer the sheepskins
and diplomas
As usual, there will be a large
number of Industrial school exhibits
in the different buildings through the
forenoon, so that people who cannot
be accommodated in the tabernacle
will be entertained and instructed
elsewhere on the College campus.
At the close of each group OF ex-
ercises in the tabernacle a gun will
be fired. This is a signal for persons
who wish to leave the tabernacle to
do so and for others to come in. II
is earnestly requested that persons
will not come in and go out except
in the interval following these guns.
After the firing of the last gun
before noon all the exhibits will be
closed SO that every one who can
possibly stand in the tabernacle
may be there TO witness the conferr-
ing OF the degrees.

turn to their old haunts.


Berea, 10 those who have eyes and
ears open TO nature, has been more
beautiful than ever this spring;
the grass gems cleaner and greener,
the winds laugh more cheerfully thru
the leafy depths of the trees, and
the birds know all this, and from
dawn to twilight regale their lovers
with almost every lay of the woods.
Who has eyes and sees not? Who
has ears and hears not? Who has
heart that responds not-a heart TO
erase one fitting point of color
to still one voice in natures morn
ing orchestra. Not many.
But not all OF the birds leave us
during the winter. One of the most
beautiful, one of the sweetest sing
ers does not-tho Cardinal. Often
when the snow Is on the ground and
the sun peeps through the clouds,
like blaze of fire he can be seen
In the tree tops and his liquid note
may be heard when. save for the
meaning of the winds, the rest of
natures voices are silent. The car
dlnal is Kentucky's own bird the
Kentucky cardinal. And the cardinal
loves the haunts OF man. He wants
to trust man, and, when spring with
the mating and nesting time comes,
he likes to steal into the vines of
the porch or into a shurb near the
house and build his nest, and from
the tree tops near by he loves TO
repay his protectors with song after
song. not waiting for an encore.
A pair of cardinals could be heard
in the trees about Ladies Hall often
during the winter season A month
ago they chose an evergreen a few
steps from the building and opposite
the walk leading to the Dining Hall
as a suitable place for their nest. 1t
could be reached by almost any stu
dent, but surely, so thought the birds,
no one would modest the Halls sweet
est musicians, and the eggs were laid
and soon the girls and boys passing
by could hear the chirping of the
taby birdlings and the more Joyous
notes of the mother bird and father
bird between their busy moments of
feeding. The pair of red birds and
their nestlings were becoming the
pets OF the girls of the Hall, and
OF the young men, as well, who pass
ed there for their meals, every one
thought.
But the confidence of the trust
ing birds was violated. OF the hun
dreds of young men that passed there
was one not lover of nature; not
lover of music-one with a heart
that was not tender; one that loved
suffering; one that delighted in cruel
ity; one who found pleasure in tor
ture-the torture of trustful, unsus-
pecting creatures; and one who must
have thought it manly and brave not
only to destroy the helpless but 10
bring sorrow TO all those who loved
nature; who cherished the birds,
and this one ruthlessly dashed the
baby cardinals to the ground and
killed them. and the mother bird and
the father bird are heard no more.
The murderer was seen but not
in time to prevent the deed. Those
that know him should watch him, for
OF such depraved natures comes even
tually the slayers of their own kind
of women and children sometimes.
