AGRICULTURAL NEWS NOTES
Extension Department, College Of Agriculture
Morgantown, West Virginia
County Agricultural Field Day

The taxpayers of Writ County
believe in applying business prin-
ciples to the management of their
country farms. Acting upon this
idea, experts from the College Of
Agriculture were recently called
to the farm near the county seat,
Elizabeth, to investigate the
present condition of the farm, to
inspect the prevalent farm prac-
tees and to recommend any i'm
provements which their observa-
ton might suggest. The tour of
inspection took the form of a field
day to which all the taxpayers of
the county were invited and re-
CARELESS of the inclement wealth
er more than one hundred OBJ
servers were present. Profess
or o. M. Johnson, of the Farm
Management Department, and
g. r. Titlow, Director of Agri-
cultural Extension, conducted the
party from point to point over
the farm noting the necessity of
drainage here and the require
ment of lime there. pointing out
the advantage to be gained by
substituting alfalfa for a weedy
grass crop occupying a fine
stretch of second bottom, COM
mending the use of cow peas in
renewing the fertility of a badly
depleted hillside, and touching
various other points in like man
ner.
At noon big dinner was served
following which the group re-
paired to the Court House where
a detailed discussion of the var
ious points noted on the trip, was
taken up. Much local interest
was shown and a movement was
started to purchase drain tile and
place certain waste portions of
the farm on a payment paying
basis.
Winter Protection for Young Trees
Many farmers and orchardists
suffer unnecessary losses every
winter by injury done to young
trees by mice, rabbits and other
rodents, said Prof. r. G.. Auch-

Pledges Kept

The Louisville Courier Journal
has the following coment upon
the passage of the democratic
tariff bill:
The new tariff law must be
time tried and fire tested before
the country, or even those who
voted for its passage, or the
smaller number who drew the
bill, will know just whatits value
is. But there can be no dispute
about the democratic party hav-
ing kept faith and redeemed
pledges.
The manner in which the work
was done should be matter of
pride, not only to every demo
crat but also to every good citi-
zen of the United States. Dig
nifty, sincerity and unity of pur-
pose and action distinguished the
democrats in their effort to solve
the leading American problem.
While there is reason to give the
highest credit to Oscar Under
wood and to President Wilson,
both of them tireless workers,
able tacticians, sincere citizens
laboring for the common good,
it, must be bornein mind that the
congress which passed the bill
disappointed the hopes of the re-
publican partisans who confident
ly predicted wild horses" as the
obstacle to any plans the leader
might make. The fiction that
the democrats were merely par
ty of protest made UP of men
seeking office and seeking to
make capital of discomfort is for
ever dissipated by the spectac e
of the manner in which the law
has been made. Mr.. Under
wood is of the opinion that the
new-made law will prove a less
burdensome revenue producer
than any tariff act save the Walk
er Dill OF the last three-quarters
of century. At any rate. it
can be said confidently that not
in a century has the country wit
messed a session Of congress dur
ing which there was manifested
greater sincerity and greater
ability to deal with public ques-
tons in a business-like manner.
and the 10000 was raised in
about two hours. At times there
was a line of men, young and
old, a block long awaiting their
turn, Some elderly gentlemen
with bald heads would invest a
dollar and then sneak back and
get in line again, and some of
them were finally marched home
by their wives. All of which
shows that the kissing game still
remains one of the most popular
in the world.

ter, of the College of Agricul-
ture, West Virginia University,
in speaking of the preparation
for winter which should be made
in the orchard. Simple protect
ors made of any thin stiff mate
rial like heavy wrapping paper
or veneer wood, when placed
around the trunk of the tree and
pressed firmly into the ground
will prevent all trouble of this
kind in the great majority of
cases and are so inexpensive that
one cannot afford to take chances
on injury which may kill the
trees and render futile the care
given during the previous half
dozen years.
Uniting Agricultural and General Instructions
A plan of cooperation between
the local school system and the
state agricultural forces is being
tried out in Marion County,
whice gives promise of proving
suitable for wider application.
Mr.. Ashley l.. Thomas, district
school supervisor in the vicinity
of Metz, has been appointed
Field Agent for the Agricultural
Extension Department and will
give a portion of his time to the
organization and supervision of
the agricultural club work being
conducted in that section. His
entire time during the summer
months will be devoted to this
work, giving particular attention
to the work of the boys corn
club and the girls canning clubs.
By this means it is hoped 10
link up agricultural instruction
with the local public school sys-
tenn in such a way as to secure
continuous and harmonious CO.
operation.
Farmers Short Course
Arrangements are under way
for Farmers Short Course at
the College of Agriculture this
winter which will surpass any
thing of the kind yet attempted
in this state. Speakers of note
are being engaged and practical
courses are being arranged.
The farmers who attended last
year were enthusiastic in their
endorsement of the work and
large number expressed their in
tention of returning this year.
The course is scheduled for JAN
uary 6 to 16. The last four days
will be given over to meetings of
the various agricultural associa-
tons of the state, including the
three branches of the Live Stock
Association. the State Horticul-
tural Society, the State Forestry
Association and the State Grange.
Altogether the programs for
these ten days make up a series
of events which no up-to-date
farmer of the state can afford to
miss.

Kissing Still Popular

All kissing records of the
country were eclipsed at Salem,
o., recently when six young lad
les sold 10000 kisses at s1.OO
each to aid the endowment of

Each young lady was kissed

schoolmates, Il don't make any
more mistakes in my music. "
This little boy had such poor eye
sight that he could not read let
ters three and one-half inches
square more than six feet away
from him, and yet he had been
repeatedly punished by his vio-
lin teacher for making mistakes
while taking his lessons. Just
think of it; punished for making
mistakes when he could not see
his notes plainly!
How did he find out that his
eyes were weak? His school
teacher had been making tests of
the sight of her pupils and had
discovered that this boy could
not see well. She reported the
fact to his parents, who got
glasses that made him the hap
piest boy in school, saved him
many undeserved punishments
and caused him to say, Il don't
make any more mistakes in my
music"
This boy did not know nor did
his parents know, but that he
saw as well as every other boy,
and his mistakes were thought to
be from carelessness and mat
teniion.
This same boy afterwards be-
came noted violinist, was edu-
Gated abroad and played before
royalty. His glasses enabled
him to see his notes plainly and
he made no more mistakes in his
reading music.
There have been thousands of
just such boys and girls in our
public schools in the past, who
have been stumbling along, hat
ing their lessons, scolded and
punished by their teacher and
parents, just because they had
defect of vision of which they
and their parents and teacher
were ignorant.
Parents, do you know that
your children have good eyesight?
Do you know that they are not
"long-slghted," ''near-sighted,"
or color blind? Do they often
complain of being tired, or of
having a headache when they
return home from school? Do
they dislike school? Are they
sleepy and dull when trying to
learn their home tasks? Is it
hard for them to keep up with
their classes? Are they inclined
to play hockey? Then do not
punish and scold them, until you
first find out if there is not some
physical cause behind it all, so
that you may not regret later and
blame yourself for neglect or in
justice to one of your own.
Ignorance Of the law is no ex-
cuse to the lawbreaker in court.
ignorance is no excuse for neg
lect of your children. Fifty per
cent of the blindness caused by
separation of the retina (the
sight seeing membrane within
the eye) occurs in people who are
near-sighted. Many of the head
aches of children and others are
the result of strain caused by
the attempt of the delicate eye
muscles to overcome the defect.
This overtaxing of them strains
the eye muscles, then the letters
blur or run together, the child
feels tired and the eyes pain or
headache follows.
Do not neglect your children's
eyesl

Yesterday he left the hospital where he
