of some new kind of potatoes would
furnish seed for quite patch next
year. One bushel of seed oats would
furnish enough seed for number OF
acres the next year.
This would give the seed an oppor-
tunity to become better acclimated
and he could select the best seeds for
home use, which is an opportunity that
seldom comes to a farmer who buys
seed from the seedmen who sell 1t
from the general crop which Is raised
by farmers especially for them.
Then there is always an opportun-
ity for a farmer to sell choice seed
oats, corn or potatoes to his nearby
friends for better price than his gen.
eral crops will bring. The time Is
coming when good seed will be better
appreciated by farmers.

HANDS CRACKED AND BLEED

St. Clair, Mo.-"My trouble began
about fifteen years ago. 1t was what
some claimed eczema. The form the
disease worked under was q breaking
out with wAtery blisters on my handc
which would then dry and scale, and
then would follow the trouble Of

and hurting. My hands we're disfig-

The Virginia truck experiment sta
ton has found that the best results
in growing potatoes are obtained
where the soil is kept level during
the earlier civilizations, but as the
season advances earth may be worked
toward the vines by means of winged
cultivators in order to keep the tubers
thoroughly covered and free from sun
scald.
1t has also been found best to con-

BLUEJAY LIVES IN WOODS
Hawks, Owls and Other Birds Are
leased and Tormented by These
Noisy Birds.

The bluejay likes best to live in
thick woods, but it often comes into
open fields, orchards and near dwell
ings in search of food. When 1t dis
covers you it assumes a proud and
angry air of conceit and defiance.
The bluejay's upper parts are pur-
plish-blue. The lower parts are pur-
plish-gray. The wings and tail are
bright blue with black bars. The tail
feathers are tipped with white. 1t has
a crested head.
The bluejay builds its nest about
twenty feet above ground. 1t is made
of twigs and fine roots. From four to
six eggs are laid. They are Of a green
ish drab color flecked with brown.
Doubtless the bluejay helped to
name itself, as it's common utteranco
Is long drawn, Gay, jay, jay" This
cry, with the bright blue color, has
given it it's name.
While the Jay sings no song it is
able to initiate the calls of other
birds, by which means it often at
tracts them 1t likes to tease and
torment the owl and especially the lit
tie sparrow hawk This is done by
initiating the cry Of wounded bird,
which draws the hawk near. Then
several jays will dart at the hawk
sQuealing and frolicking about in
great glee Sometimes the play ends
In a tragedy. for the hawk pounces
upon one of them to the dismay OF
the others. Jays may be Gagged and
tanned like crows and some writer's
say they can be taught to utter words.

WORK OF MORRIS

His Worth as an Educator.
WON SUCCESS BY PERSISTENCE

Results of the First Year Of the Ad-
rninistration of the Rev. w. A. Foun-
tain at Well Known School Are Refu-
tations Of tho Theory Hold by His
Numerous Critics.
Atlanta, Ga.-The remarkable sue
cess of Morris Brown college during
the first year of the presidency of Rev.
W. A Fountain. d. D., seems to en-
phasize as rather absurd and silly the
little resentment manifested by some
of the higher class students ut the be-
ginning of the year. AS matter of
fact. that episode seems now in the
light of calmer reason to have been as
false in its contentious as it was silly
and absurd in its foundation.
1t will be remembered that some of
the higher class students in letter to
the board of trustees pointed out that
Dr. Fountain, while a good man,
minister in the African Methodist
church of first rank, and while he held
hard earned reputation for honesty,
sobriety and learning. he had never
graduated from college and was
therefore not fit for the presidency Of
Morris Brown college.
AS matter of fact. all this conten-
tion was basically wrong and, as the
strenuous one would have said. .abso-
lutely false DR.. Fountain is a grad
uate of Allen university. He is also
graduate from the collegiate depart
ment of Norris Brown college. class Of
