Miss HoIIingworth Declares Sex
Far Superior to Men-She
Urges Limit of Children.

The necessity of housekeeping and
raising family is the bar which
keeps women from attaining emnence
and leadership in the worlds affairs.
This is the contention of Leta Stel-
la HollingWorth. of New York, who
publishes statistics and deductions in
the current issue of the American
journal of Sociology. in which she de-
clares women possess Intellectual acn-
men equal to or greater than that of
men.
Miss Hollingworlh states her pa =
per is the outcome OF prolonged
reflection on the doctrine Of greater
male variability advanced by the psy-
chologist +. l.. Thorndike. DR.. Thorn
dike's contention is that because men
differ in intelligence and energy by
wider extremes than do women, emil
nence in the worlds affairs 'inevita-
bly, belongs 10 them, and they often
er deserve it,
Family Should Be Limited
Miss Hollingworth prints a COM
pila ton of statistics gained from en-
periments and measurements of men
and women which tend to show
women have greater range and are
more variable in their intelleCts and
energies than men. Her conclusion
is that women should limit the mum
Der of children they bear and find a
way to vary from their mode rs men
do, for both the enrichment of so
ciety and the peace of individuals
1T seems indubitable,' she writes,
that great numbers of women of in
telectual gifts, confronted with the
necessity of choosing career or
domestic happiness have chosen,
either consciously or lnconsciousIy,
the latter.
wary From the Mode
housekeeping and the rearing Of
children, though much commended to
women as proper fields for the eX-
ploitation of their talents, are. unfor
tunately for their fame, not fields in
which eminence can be attained. No
one knows, for instance. who at pres
ent is the best housekeeper in Amer
lea, nor who has borne and reared
the largest and finest family of chill
dren. 1t is not known how much in
tellectual acumen is being brought to
bear on these ends. Eminent house
keepers and mothers as such do not
exist
Undoubtedly one of the most fun
damental and difficult problems that
to-day confront thinking women is
how to secure for themselves the
chance to vary from the mode of their
sex and at the same time procreate
in d social order that Is built upon the
assumption that there is and can be
little or no variation in tastes, in

Wherever practicable, crops should

eral days or few weeks. This prac.
tice requires the division of the field
into at least two areas. but pastures
are made more productive than they
would be under constant use.
Rye will stand closer grazing than
any Of the other grains. The closer
grazing should be done in the spring
rather than in the fall on fields where
a grain crop is not expected.
The aim should be never to allow
stock on these pastures while the land
is wet or the crop covered with frost.
The injury to the physical condition of
the land, especially clay soils, from
tramping while wet, may far exceed
the profit obtained with the growth OF
the stock Even with thick, early
seeding, this difficulty will remain and
must not be lost sight Of However,,
the more abundant the covering, the
smaller will be the damage.
To overcome this difficulty, rye may
be seeded into red clover or Japan
clover sod by discing lightly, and then
seeding the rye with disc drill dur,
ing the first days of October. The
land remains firm and there Is little
damage from treaaing of stock.
We can not emphasize too strongly
the Importance of providing ample
winter pastures for all classes OF
stock, and especially hogs and sheep.
They can not be raised at a good profit
without it. 1t is equally important that
both the pastures and the land upon
which they grow be used judiciously.

One of the foremost advantages OF
well-planned rotation of crops is,
that it provides a suitable place for
the application of stable manure and
renders possible its most efficient use.
Since it is impracticable to attempt to
spread the manure over the entire
farm during any single year, and since
1t is desirable that each field should
receive its share during the rotation,
1t seems to be the best plan to apply
1t always to that crop which makes the
best use of it.
The question naturally arises: "To
which of the farm crops shall manure
be applied, how, and when?' While
all crops ordinarily grown on the farm
would be benefited by appropriate APP
plicatDns, there are some to which it
Is better adapted than others, and
should have the preference, if there is
not a sufficient supply for all.
The common practice is to manure
the corn first. The reason has been
that this crop holds first place as a
food producer and as an economical
user Of plant food. Manure without
the reinforcement of mineral r3~sil Z
ers must be considered cateGy Is E
carrier of nitrogen and vegetable mat
ter. Corn has greater power to utilize
immense quantities Of nitrogen, even
In the form of coarse organic matter,
than any other crop. II fecoyers a
higher percentage OF any plant food
placed in the soil.
There are other considerations, how
ever, in the use of stable manure. Its
residual or permanent effect, aside
from it's plant food content must not
be ignored. Its great value in getting
and maintaining stands of clover and
grass stands out unquestioned in the
light of actual farm experience. More
over, this is Of first importance in the
Improvement Of soils which have gone
down in crop production. How to grow
clover successfully Is the fundamental
question of Tennessee agriculture.
For the present at least the Expert
manure be applied to the grain crop
with which clovers and grasses are
usually sown. The only exceptions to
this practice are made in limited areas
where the natural fertility Of the soil
Is such that there is danger of the ma
nure causing the grain crop to lodge
(here clover can usually be grown
without manure), and where clover
is being grown successfully because
OF liberal applications of lime and
phosphate When this condition is
true on the average farm, the practice
of applying manure should be changed
but until clover is grown successfully,
1t should continue to have the
preference.
1t is not always possible to get onto
the grain fields in winter. The aterna-
tive would be, in the case Of fattening
cattle or sheep, to leave 1t under the
feet of the animals ~ the concrete

Probably a larger acreage of small
grain and clover has been sown this
fall for the sole purpose of grazing
throughout the winter season, than
ever before in Tennessee. Moreover,
the usually high prices of all kinds OF
live stock, and the extreme scarcity
of roughage available for winter feed
ing will invite many stockmen to turn
stock on both the area soWn for that
purpose and also the fields that are
to be harvested for grain. Both prac-
tees seem to be wise. In the former
case, If clover is sown with the
grain, fertility will be added to the
soil at the same time 1t Is furnishing
one of the most economical feeds in
tho South. In the case OF the crop
intended for grain, grazing may often
be practiced on rich lands without de-
creasing the grain yield. 1t is occa-
sionally beneficial On poorer lands,
a decrease in the grain yield is likely
to result, but at present prices, the
profit from the stock will more than
overbalance the decrease in grain, and
at the same time keep the fertility on
the land It Is important, therefore,
that the winter pasture should be man.
aged so that the maximum amount OF
green forage will be obtained, and in
the case of the grain crop, the de-
crease in yield will be reduced to a
minimum.
The key to success with cereal crops
and legumes sown entirely for pasture
purposes lies in thick seeding in late
August or early September, on a seed
bed that has been well prepared. The
crops should then be allowed to attain
a height of three or four inches before
the stock are allowed upon them. Too
often pastures are injured, and their
possibilities are wasteG, for the sake
of few days pasture in the early fall,
whereas their efficiency might be
greatly increased for winter and spring
use by waiting a short time.
The greater the number OF stock to
be used on a given area, the longer
should the grazing period be delayed.
Climatic and soil conditions must also
be considered Under ordinary con-
aitions, an August-sown pasture on
land Of medium fertility should carry
six fifty pound shoats, or one yearling
calf. or four sheep per acre. through
