needs more corn; secondly, because
corn lends itself better to study and
selection.
"As rule, each member works a
plot of one acre. The county superin-
tendent of education is usually in
charge Appointed special agent of the
department of agriculture, with a
nominal salary of 81 a year, he OBJ
tains the ranking privilege, which
enables him to procure reports from
the boys and to disseminate informa
ton and instructions among them.
But more and more other agencies
also undertake to cooperate, promi-
nent among them being state col
leges of agriculture, of which nine
were regularly connected with the
work in the year 1912.
The club enrolment has increased
with great rapidity, as the following
figures testify:
Year No. Enrolled
l90S ................... .lO,343
19O9 .................. 10000
1910 ................... .46,225
1912 ............. .69,95S
1913 approximately ..... $1,000
The growth of club work is itself
the best proof of the enthusiasm ex-
cited and the substantial material re-
suits achieved. Nor has its influence
been limited to the boys; for the crops
raised have set new standards and op,
ened new vistas for the adult farmer.
"In 1910, for example, the boys club
of Holmes county, Mississippi, aver
aged rs bushels of corn per acre, while
their fathers we're averaging -16. In
the same season, 100 boys in various
parts of the South averaged 1897 bush
els, and one boy produced over 200;
the following season, 100 boys averag-
ed 1374S bushels, Z boys raised over
200; in 1907, All made over 100 BUSH
els to the acre; in 1912, 493.
I'm the awarding of prizes for these
notable performances, various factors
are taken into consideration and credit
is given accordingly: 80 per cent. is al
lowed for yield, 80 per cent. for the
showing of profit, 20 per cent. for the
best ten ears, 20 per cent for the best
written report.
1.-THE instances above cited represent
of course the most favorable results;
but the general average Of the boys is
str kingly superior to results OBJ
tanned otherwise.

The theory that pasturing may

of combating the Hessian fly Is
characterized by Cecil Salmon, as
mistant in crops at X. s. A. G., as
entirely impracticable. The only
4fme when pasturing would be at all
aeffective in fighting the pest, he
says, is early fall or very late spring
when the flies are laying their eggs
on the leaves, and at either OF these
4imes pasturing is extremely detri-
mental to the wheat.

By Holland

NE
Eterybody reeds papers :
these days. Most persons
read two or three and some
times more. They are as es-
sential as breakfast. as reg
uIar as supper. Whether you
are interested in politics,
baseball, the Chinese oues-
ton, the tariff. fashions or
cookery, you look TO the pa
pers for information.
And you get the informa-
ton you seek along with
much other news, gossip
fact. fancy and entertain
ment. The day is not COM
plete without the paper. You
start the day with a glance
at II, and you are likely to
lay Il down to prepare for
slumber.
The paper that is so essen
tIal to you is equally essen
tial to your neighbor. He,
too, reads It and finds there
in the things he wants to
know. It's appeal is univer-
sal, It's circulation coexten-
sive with mankind.
That is what makes the
newspaper the best advertis-
ing medium that civilization
has devised. It reaches every
body, or at least the frac-
ton that It does not reach Is
SO small as to be negligible.
And even the few who may
not read the newspaper will
be guided by those who do,
SO that an advertisement will
bring business from those
who never see 1t.

age as normal as any other men. But.
from the earliest history Of baseball,
the fact has been recognized that left
handlers are more "temperamentaF
than grand opera stars.
Once / advanced a theory and per
suaded several doctors TO back il up
that made me vastly unpopular with
left-handed pitchers. The theory was
that left arm working directly over
the heart caused excessive strain on
that organ. causing il to pump the
blood into the brain too rapidly, and
this overlooking OF the brain affected
the thinking power of the pitchers.
Whether or not this was true l never
knew. The doctors. with many hens
and haWs and qualifications, were will
ing 10 stand for ii.
However. il is an odd phenomenon
OF the game that almost every left
handed pitcher the game has ever
known has been peculiar in some way,
and most of the odd characters or
baseball have been left handlers.
PeCgy Shaw, the first of the left
handlers. was taken from a ball field
raving and died in an asylum. For a.
long time l thought perhaps this fact
had led 90 a sort Of superstituuOn
concerning the south paws. but this
was not the case.

have heen the greatest OF all the left
handlers. was noted for his peculiar
tiles Fred Schmidt, the veteran who
