ADVANCE PLAN FOR
JUVENILE THEATER
Interested Persons Hold Series Of
Meetings to Discuss Children's g.
A--I

Detroit may have a children's theater
next fall, IL the plans of several members
of the Drama League and the art and
literature department of the Twentieth
Century Club mature.
During the summer, several members
of the department OF philanthropy and
reform of the Twentieth Century Club
have been holding weekly meetings at
the Detroit Boat Club. reading the Irish
plays Out of this and hopes for the chill
dren's theater voiced for some time by
Fcrbes-Robertson may come a playhouse
where not only children will be welcome
at a much lower price than adults would
be asked to pay, but where Mother Goose
plays, moving pictures especially made
for little tots, and, in fact, all the best
things for children to witness will be
given under the best supervision.
1t is the plan of those working to bring
the idea into existence to have this the
ater in the downtown district. where the
children who play in the street may drop
in and spend their pennies for good, dehn
amusement. rather than for some sensa--
tional moving picture show.

Chick Every Twelve Seconds.

There is now in operation at Port
OConor, Texas, a machine that Is capa-
Bile Of turning out a chicken every
twelve seconds for twenty-four hours
day, and for 365 days in a year. Built
By an inventor who was formerly a
poultry expert for the government, this
mammoth hatcher holds at one time
10000 eggs, says the Technical World.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature
OF this plant Is the fact that all the
eggs, together with room for Gambling.
chick packing, and all engines, fans and
equipment occupy only one floor, 1S by
50 feet Furnished with ordinary incu-
oators, such a room would have just
about the same capacity in three weeks
as this plant has in a single day.
This economy of space and cost Is at
tanned by placing the eggs in superim-
posed trays, like the type cases IN
printer case rack or the trays in a
fruit drier. This idea has been tried
before. but was not a success on ac-
count of the hot air rising. In the pres
ent instance this difficulty Is overcome
by forcing a continual current OF air
from q centrifugal fan through the
Matching chamber. which serves TO keep
II at an even temperature throughout.
While this is quite an item Of expense
and would not pay with a small machine.
yet in a big plant it is paid for several
times over by the saving Of the duplica-
tion OF the small machines. as well as
by the economy of fuel and labor.
One Of the most interesting improve
ments in the Texas plant is a turning
system by which compartments holding
1000 eggs are swung on a pivot and
the eggs turned by inverting the entire
compartment. This enables one man to
turn 10000 eggs in less than two minutes.

SWEET POTATO EMIGRATEs.
Vegetable Is to japanese what
stout Was to the Irish.

The sweet potato seems to have emil
grated from China via the Loo Choo
Islands to Japan. One hundred and
eighty years ago Aoki Konyo recon-
mended to the shogun the cultivation Of
the sweet potato all over the empire In
grateful memory of the benefactor there
now stands over AakFs grave a monu-
ment with this unique inscription: The
Potato Professor
One of the distinguishing features of
Tokyo is the sweet potato bakeries, where.
during the colder months hot potatoes
prove a Godsend to many. Around these
potato shops the poorer children crowd
with their coppers, anxious for the NOR
sci which is TO them what milk chocolate
is to children of the West. A juicy. hot
sweet potato is TO the Japanese what
stout was to the Irishman who once said
that 1t was warmth, food, and drink and
nights lodging. If you took enough OF

three things the Japanese woman really
lOves-pumpkin, theatergoing, and sweet
potato.
At present there are more than 1000
potato ovens in Tokyo and the sale OF
rCast potatoes annually totals more than
100000 yen. In no country in the world
can the poor people get pure, wholesome
food more conveniently and economically
than in Japan Whether one gets a box

population here in the United States
there can be no doubt at all.
That increase seems destined to con-
tinue here for at least a century ana a
half or two centuries 10 come, and at the
end Of that time, no one can tell what
your population may have become. That
is the reason why you should think about
these things now and make your prepa-
rations for the future. The only man
xno seems to have foreseen the great

was George Washington himself.
Although he died before Louisiana was
purchased and long before you acquired
territory on the Pacific Coast, he appears
to have realized that this was gong to
be an enormous country and ought tU
have a grand Capital, and you ought to
go back to his ideals and render the
greatest tribute you can render to his
immortal memory.
What you have got to do is to make
the nation feel that it has a real living
interest in Washington. Make the man
from Maine and from Minnesota and from
Florida feel that Washington belongs to
him. 1t is not those only who live here
, in Washington that are the owners Of
Washington, but these men also who
dwell all over the country. Many of
them, and all their representatives, come
here every year, and as they are proud
of the nation they also ought to feel
proud Of their nations Capital.
Having lived in this city among you
with so much happiness and enjoyment
during the last six years, II Is with deep
regret that my wife and 1 are now pre-
pairing TO depart from you. But, remem-
bering the unceasing and unvarying
kindness we have received from all %
you here in Washington, we shall recall
those six years with constant pleasure.

National University Needed.

Through no fault either of the profess
ors or of our friend who presides with
so much wise care over the George Wash
ington University here. that institution
has not received those funds and those
buildings which are needed to make ii
worthy of the name it bears. This Is
rather a depression, but / would like to
say, as l have mentioned the university,
that the suggestion that great central
university is needed does not by any
means imply that such an institution
should be managed by the nation through
Congress, or should necessarily even re-
ceive from Congress the funds needed
for its support
You will all agree that national capi-
tai ought to have great university. II
need not be of the same type as the great
State universities, nor set itself to do all
the things that are done in universities
located in or near great cities. You have,
for instance, no great industrial estab-.
lishments here calling for a faculty Of
engineering or Of other practical arts on
such scale as those universities must
have, placed as they are, in great COM
mercial centers.

The Field Pea ~ 4 Crop

The Field Pea ~ . Crop
Field peas are a good crop for either
old land or sod. and they may be plant
ed In = variety Of ways. Good results
are sometimes obtained from sowing
them broadcast on tho sod and covering
them with the breaking plow, but such
method cannot be recommended. They
may be disced in or planted and covered
by any method used for other seeds.
The best way il to use the press drill.
Forced feed drills will often crack some
of the seeds; but the saving made by
drilling the seed is very great in spite
Of this fact. Many of the split peas
will grow, and the seed put in the
ground with drill will be we'll planted.
They may be sown from ono to four
inches deep.
The pea 10 what the botanist calls an
indeterminate grower, that is, grows,
blooms, and ripens seed so long rs there
is moisture and absence Of hard. freez-
ing weather. The amount of irrigation
will depend upon the length Of the sea.
son, and somewhat also on the heat of
the summer. When the summers are
hot. flood irrigating will blister or
otherwise injure the pea plant. Fur
row irrigation is much better. They
may be kept growing by irrigating
often enough to keep the soil moist.
We have found that on good, loamy soil
four irrigations gave . yield of ripened
peas Of thirty-five bushels the acre and
about four tons of vines, while seven
irrigations gave little larger growth
in vine, but only nineteen bushels of
peas. because they did not get ripe. On
account Of its adaptability to different
soils, different ways Of planting, ease
of farm management and response to
dry farm methods or irrigating practice,
the field pea is one of the easiest man.
aged crops.
1t makes both forage and grain
crop. Pea hay properly made is a
roughage unexcelled by any other.
Poorly made pea hay is poor stuff.
Good pea hay is valuable feed for any
kind Of live stock. 1t has been found
that over-ripe pea hay, pea straw. or
that which has been spoiled in the stack
is injurious to horses, cattle, pigs or
sheep, because it causes indigestion and
impaction. These. troubles are absent
when properly made and cured hay is
fed. The threshed peas are highly nj
trogenous food. They are specially
valuable for young, growing stock. Ex-
cept for lambs or pigs which have good
teeth and can grind their food, peas
should be chopped or ground. Pea hay
which contains ripe and partly ripe peas
will make the horses sleek and shiny in
the spring and will put good fat on any
kind of stock. If every ranch in the
west took to growing peas we would
soon have q very rich country. -The

ALFALFA ON DRY LAND
Experience of One Farmer Who
Started in a Small Way

1890 NOe ss.sAb
and many attempts to seed alfalfa are
made each year, but with almost rs
many failures. Quite often, due to
poor preparation of the soil beforehand
and trying the ordinary thick seeding
method which over pastures the soil
moisture, the result is failure, but
there are, however, successful attempts
in growing alfalfa on dry land.
The experience of = dry land farmer
who started right will be of iterest to
many who are thinking of trying to
seed alfalfa.
February 9, 1912, Mr.. H. E. Hess, of
Deer Trail, Colorado, addressed ap in
quiry to the Experiment Station. which
set forth the following.
II am living on . homestead 8 1-2
miles southwest Of Deer Trail, have
farmed part of my claim for three
years. One piece Of about Ia acres
has been deeply plowed and we'll culti-
waited. intend to plant it to Grimm's
alfalfa in the spring; will plant in rows
AZ inches apart and cultivate for the
purpose Of raising seed. Where can l
buy the Grimm seed, and how much
will need?
my land is not irrigated, the alti-
tude about $780,. the soil clay loan
originally covered with buffalo sod"
The above inquiry was answered as
fully as possible by letter, advising that
from description his deeply plowed
piece would be safe to try alfalfa on,
and that his plan outlined should give
success.
Under date Of February 2, 1913, Mr..
Hess again writes rs follows:
"After receiving your letter decided
to try Baltic alfalfa, as you seem to
think it equally good for hay and better
yield than the Grimm.
Il bought two and one-half pounds of
the Baltic alfalfa seed from the Dakota
Seed Co. and after disking the Ia
acres piece several times and narrowing
it twice, on May 18th, in the evening,
sowed in rows it., 6 in. apart. using
about one and three-fourths pounds per
acre. I used garden drill to seed it,
and on the morning of May 23rd.. less
than five days, the alfalfa was up thick.
Il clipped it July 18th. when it varied
from to inches high, and again Aug
ust 18th, it was clipped, averaging
little taller than the first time it was
clipped. The alfalfa made nice
growth until the ground froze up solid.
l was surprized that it grew 80 late in
the season and during such unfavorable
weather.
''The clippings were left on the
ground for q mulch, and, altho l did not
cultivate last season the ground did not
crust over but remained loose, which
suppose was due to the deep blowing
gave it the year before.
II am glad you advised me to plant
the Baltic. know it will do well next
season because it is deeply rooted and
there are several feet of moisture to
keep it growing.
From what / saw here, came to
the conclusion of the following points:
'slst. Alfalfa will not grow very tall
the first season.
'.2nd. Alfalfa requires deep blowing
and thoro preparation Of the seed bed.
s.3rd. Each plant requires plenty Of
room to grow we'll. .'-Philo K. Blinn,
Alfalfa Specialist, Rocky Ford, Colo.
