THE SPIRIT is OUT OF PLACE
WITH UNITED CHARITIES


Too bad the Christmas spirit of
good will on earth did not prompt
the United Charities to use at least
a portion of the $4,000 they collect
ed in the name of the Unemployed,
to give the Unemployed Christmas
feed.
And even if the U. c. couldn't find
it in its hearts to loosen up on the
100000, it might have patterned aft
er the Salvation Army and begged
the grub from the commission
houses, then taken the credit. But
the U. G. didn't even do that.
At any rate, we hope the United
Charities employees each received a
nice Christmas present from the U.
C. so that the Unemployed may feel

THE WEATHER MAN HAS GOT
THINGS TWISTED

Inky blackness settled over Chi
cago today and Christmas shoppers
fought their way through gloom as
pronounced as at midnight. 1t was
the second time within a month that
the phenomena has occurred ..-.
Street lights tWinkled through the
darkness; automobile headlights
flashed; enteFprising theater man
ayers switched on electric signs, and
at 10 a. m. the loop district took on
its usual midnight appearance. A
big flashlight, operated on the Chi
cago & Northwestern depot every
night, was turned on, but it's rays
had difficulty penetrating the heavy
fog. Lake craft operated with
searchlights and rays from the light
house two miles off shore swept the
lake front. ~
The weather bureau attributed the
darkness to a two-fold cause. The
presence of low-hung clouds over the
city, and the fact that an area of
low pressure west of Chicago made
the air here stagnant. In the absence
of any wind, smoke clouds hung over
the city.
The weather man predicted occa-
sional SHOWS for tonight and Christ
mas for the Chicago district

NELSON HANDS BIG STORES A
.-r CHRISTMAS JOLT
State Factory InspeClo4 Oscar F.
Nelson has given the various depart
ment store owners of Chicago sad
jolt as Christmas present. .-.
In previous years the big owners
have been allowed to do whatever
they pleased on Christmas eve. in the
matter of working their clerks. This
has always been easy under former
administrations. .-.
But this year when they went to
the factory inspectors Office they
found not the agreeable Edgar T.
Davies, but a smiling, complacent
young man named Oscar F. Nelson,
kho was ever so nice to them, but
who assured them that there was
nothing doing.
In addition to that, Nelson will
prosecute all violators of the 1O-hour
law. He already has found fragrant
violations at The Fair.
Mr.. Nelson has recently gone out
to the outlying department stores.
What he has found there he has not
made public yet.
Mr.. Nelson will take action against
the violators Immediately after
Christmas.
And the stores will not keep open
after hours tonight.

TWO ROOT SYSTEMS OF CORN
Deep Cultivation Prunes Feeding
Branches and Lessons Ability to
Take Up Plant Food.

A knowledge Of the root systems of
corn points out the kind of cultiva-
tion to be practiced. There are two
systems, the primary and the second.
ary, says the Breeders Gazette. The
primary roots are the fine, fibrous
roots, which almost completely fill the
top two feet Of soil, crossing each 9TH
er In the rows after the crop is half
grown. Deep cultivation prunes all
these feeding roots, lessons the abil-
ity Of the plant to take up plant food
and moisture and results In the loss OF
considerable water from the soil
through evaporation. Deep prepara-
tion of the soil before planting and
shallow cultivation afterward is high
ly desirable. The day Of ''plowing"
the corn crop is gone.
The secondary roots are the tough,
fibrous roots usually extending from
one of the lower nodes on the stalk
into the soil. The sole purpose Of
these seems to be to act as braces for
the plant to have hold 1t upright.

Grass pemon,tratIon.

A new line of work of the depart.
ment of agriculture and one that is
very promising was begun last year
In conducting demonstration expert.
ments in grass. One hundred demon
stration farms of one acre each were
established in 20 counties in South
Carolina. An average yield of 3,146
pounds Of cured hay at an average
cost of $2366 per acre was produced,
and in some instances as much as
5000 or 5000 pounds OF cured hay an
acre was harvested. These highly sat
isfactory results have stimulated great
interest in grass growing, especially
in South Carolina. A vigorous grass
campaign has been started in North
Carolina, Virginia and other states.
It is expected that 5000 or more al
falfa demonstrations will be conducted
this year in Virginia alone.

other things out of the way as quickly
as possible
To pack pictures. large boxes and

Preparing for the Hatch.

Some days before the first hatch is
due from the incubator the brooder-
house should be thoroughly renov-

The floors should be scrubbed thor.
oughly, and when dry. sprinkled with
air-slaked lime. Close the doors and
windows tight, and burn a quantity
of sulphur on some hot coal in an old
pot
Leave the house closed for a day

the floor. The brooders should be
cleaned in the some thorough man

too thorough with this end of the
work. Give the youngsters a clean
start at least.

Wheat, Rye and Barley.

Wheat and rye have about the same
composition. although wheat is some
what richer In protein. Rye is in gen.
eral tougher and harder to grind.
Both are quite digestible, but less so
than corn. on account of the larger
percentage of hull. When they can
be had at about the price of corn they
may proftably form part of some
rations. They are fed more satisfac-
torily when ground than when whole

and oats. ills not used very exten.

BENEFICIAL EFFECT OF. LIME

Nothing In agricultural science or
practice may be menttoned with more
assurance than tie beneficial effect of
lime on easily psAdled stifr clay soils
This Is 80 nearly natter of common
knowledge. the vondse is that anyone
will worry along With such soils year
after year. and even from one genera
ton to another. vhiIs the possible in
crease in yield in . single year will
often pay for the necessary lime.
Lime may improve loose sandy soils
by making them more compact and
more retentive of moisture. For this
purpose some form Of carbonate OF
lime is usually recommended, and In
much smaller quantities. than for clay
soils. Clay soils viii stand more lime
