Harold Susman, Who Married
Wealthy Widow Twice His Age,
to Write on Experience,

NEW YORK, June 21.-Out of his
search for a second mother and his
shattered ideals, Harold Susman is
rearing a sign post for the guidance
of all temperamental young men who
are seeking the key to the door that
worried Omar Khayyam.
Susman. it will be recalled. mar
ried Mrs. Lille Annette Coe. a
wealthy widow of New Haven, last
November. Mrs. Coe was then 81;
Susman was 20. He left her soon
after, pleading that he sought at the
altar mother not a wife.
Will Write of Pitfalls.
Susman is now in Rome travelling
and writing simultaneously. He says
his book will be modelled along the
lines of reason, binding together
George MOOre's Confessions Of a
Young Man" and MichaeTs, The
Dangerous Age
Susman, in a retrospective mood,
bemOans his marriage as an ethical
mis-step, but reviews his first i'm
pressions of Mrs Coe by calling her
"a gentle and kindly old lady" older
than his mother who wore spec
tacles and snow white hair" He says
she wanted to adopt him and he
agreed on the basis that she was to
be "a mother to him"
Left Him Fortune.
After the marriage says Sus-
man, she showed me a new will she
had had her lawyer draw up, in
which she left me $4,000 and her
house and furniture and also her
fine jewelTy But at the same time
she put such an unusual construction
on the latent maternal instinct which
she repeated assured me was the
only thing that attracted her to me,
that l felt impelled to leave her
Il still believe that there are old
ladies in the world who, If they
promise to be mothers to young men,
would really be so, and I have proved
by my own conduct that there are
young men in the world who, if they
promised to be sons to old ladies.

edge of diversified farming is poor.
Now that he is waking up to the
necessity OF restoring 10 the land the
fertility which single cropping has
taken, he is in fit frame of mind TO
hear what any man has to say who
has the seal OF authority.
Great results should be obtained
through farm demonstration work In
the South during the next few years.
1t will require money, It is true, to
hire these soil doctors but what kind
of an investment can be found in
which public funds can be put that
will pay better?
The basis Of prosperity in the South
is agrtculture-rather we should say
cotton. 1t ought to be general agrl-
culture. It will have to be If there
is going to be real agricultural prog
ress. Cotton should continue to be
the big money crop. but it will be the
bigger because of the practice Of gen
eral agriculture. Facing so serious
a fact, 1t IL not of vital Importance
that every means for disseminating
agricultural information be given all
necessary public support?
Quick and Positive Returns.
An Illustration of what a farm dem
onstration can do in a few years is
afforded in Pike County by Victor L.
Collier, who took up farm demonstra-
ton agents work in 1909. His first
act was make canvass of the coun-
ty to see what percentage of home
supplies were being produced by the
farmers. He found that a vast
amount of money was going away
from home that could be kept there
Consequently he began a systematic
campaign among the farmers to grow
more food stuffs He instructed en-
Couraged, assisted
To determine what changes had
taken place during the four years with
respect to producing home supplies
Mr.. Collier recently addressed lead
ing merchants OF the county a num-
Der of inquiries The answers. in
diCted the progress which has been
made in eliminating some of the "out
go" of Pike County.
It seems from these reports that
feed stuff bills which Western farm
ers formerly held against the Pike
County farmers, has been reduced
nearly 100 per cent. The dealers
claim that practically all of the Feed
stuff they handle is bought from To-
cal farmers.
Doctors Help Corn Clubs.
It is not only the duty of the farm
demonstration agents or farm doc
tors to instruct the farmers how tC
apply new methods, but he is usual
~ assigned a duty in connection with
the boys corn clubs and the girls
canning clubs.

couragement as he considers neCessa-
Ty That he can do this better than
the school teacher or the country
superintendent under whose direct
authority the clubs have been organ
lied, is self-evident Perhaps the
best arrangement vet devised for the
direction of the farm demonstration
agents is that which applies in GeOr-
gia where the agents have headquar-
ters at the State College of Agricul-
ture and from which direction is Civ
en- in a cooperative way by the Fed
eral as well as the State authorities.
In the college also Centers the corn
clubs and the girls clubs. From the
college also emanates the farmers in
stitutes. BY thus co-ordinating and
tural extension. the movt can be aC-
complished for the money spent.
Some Important Prescriptions.
Some of the most important mes
sages which the farm demonstration
agents are now carrying out to the
farmers of the South, are deep plow-
ing in the fall and turning under
stalks rather than piling them up to
burn. They advise turning Into the
soil all the vegetable matter possible
Thorough preparation of the seed bed
before planting is urged. After plant
ing and even before the SprOuting OF
the grain, the demonstration agents
are keeping the crust broken to cor
serve the moisture in the ground. AS
soon after a rain 'as 1t is possible to
get into the field ana work the ground
they advise stirring the crust to break
up the capillary opening through
which the sun is sucking the mois
ture
They advise shallow and frequent
cultivation of corn and cotton. This
means CultivatOrs, weeders, harrOws
1t means doing the work four or five
times more quickly and better than
using the old-time pillow.
To use machinery on the farm, II
is necessary to get stumps out Of the
field and dynamiting stumps is stres
sed. Growing legumes such as cow
peas, soy beans, velvet beans. clover
alfalfa, vetch and the Ike is proba
bly, urged more than any other CroT
because Of their great value as sol
builders.
Live stock comes in for strong EN-
phasis, not only for beef growing and
dairyin~ but for farm power, for pork
production, etc. They advise a sys-
TEN of crop rotation that the farm
most needs.
They encourage fruit growing
trucking. In fact, the demonstration
agent is supposed to agitate and en-
courage improvement in agriculture
wherever there is need Of it. It goes
without saying that there is work o.
this kind to do anywhere one may
go in this country.

BY JUDGE F. ]. MARSHALL.

What a common thing It is at this
season of the year 10 hear persons
complain that a number of their hens
seem out Of condition. that they are
found sitting around under the bushes
and trees, and do not lay; that their
combs are pale and shrunken; and
their favoTite male bird is not him
self.
This condition is strange to the IN
observing. But it is perfectly natu-
raj in this season. Fowls are pass o.
| ing into the moult. a condition which
lowers their vitality Their cirCula-
ton is not strong enough TO put good
red blood into the combs. hence the
pale. limp appearance Of that part Of
the fowl which is but a barometer of
the whole fowls condition
All the blood and energy that can
J be mustered is going into the furnish
ing OF the new coat Of feathers. This
means a great strain upon all the
vital forces OF the fowl In the wild
fowls the process of moulting covers
long period of time.
Moulting Comes Gradually.
As a rule, they lay but one clutch
of eggs and hatch them, running with
them all through the season, and the
mouiting comes gradually the birds
losing but a feather OF two at a time.
But man, in his work of forced egg
production. forces the hen to lay as
soon as possible As a result, many
of the hens which have been heavy
layers go into moult in a state OF
semi collapse from the long -Contin
ued strain. Many a good hen is not
able to stand the strain OF the moult
as it comes right after the greatest
laying season of the year.
For this reason many an owner is
called upon 10 mourn the loss Of q
number Of his good hens. The fowls
have been fed to their capacity fol
months to get the increase In egg pro
duction.
When this moulting comes IL is
folly to keep up heavy feeding The

What are you trying to do burn
me up, Frank" the girl asked, ban
teringly thinking he was playing
some practical joke.
Then both looked down at the floor
and saw what was afterwards rec
ogniZed as a bomb, made Of three

As the idea that this might be a

she instantly kicked at the thing on
the floor and then putting her foot on
the burning fuses stamped out the
little series Of red glows. Then al
most ready to faint she leaned against

Then the youth struck a match.
By its Pickering light both saw that
the object was indeed a bomb The
three sticks Of dynamite weighed a
pound apiece and each stick had a
separate fuse wound about it.

the bomb in the hallway. They talked
with Frank Laviola, who recently
opened a barber shop on the ground

were certain that it had been. There
