FARMERS COURSE
Is WELL ATTENDED

AlYa :Agee, now director of agricul-
tural extension work for New jersey
but formerly connected with Penn
sylvania State College :, and well
known to West Virginia audiences
as lecturer and writer on agr:cul-
tural subjects.
Prof. Agee spoke on Problems in
Soil Fertility and particularly en-
phasized the fact that all the soils OF
this region are seriously deficient IN
phosphorus and most of them are
sadly lacking in lime. Said ProI.
Agee, 1.-The absence of these ele-
ments limits our production of crops
and prevents us from securing good
strong pasture sods." He advised
the use of acid phosphate to. secure
the phosphorus, stating that the far
mer should not fear to use this fer
tilfzer on the assumption that it
would make his soil acid, If the
soil is so nearly acid, n 1T needs lime
anyhow and an application OF lime
will correct this acidity," concluded
the professor.
Lime Crushing Machines.
The presence of limestone in nu-
merous sections makes IT highly ad-
visable to install local cTushing ma
chinery which will grind this ROCK
fine enough to be used ON the fields.
This was the lecturers creed OF
soil fertility: First have the SOIL
well drained, next supply phosphorus
and lime. If these are present, the
legumes- clovers, soy beans, etc
will grow and supply nitrogen to the
soil. The resulting organic matter
by decaying will ifberate potash
from the soil and supply humus.
With these supplied everything
needed for plant growth will be
present and production should not
be limited.
The Evening Lectures.
| Both the a o'clock and the evening
| lectures are open to the general pub
/ lie and are we'll attended. Dr.
Hodges, president of West Virg MIA
! University, opened the evening meet
ting by a short address of welcome
, during the course of which he
touched on various agrscultura
phases of the general educationa
movem ent.
Training for Rural Ltfe,'' wal
the subj ect selected by Prof. Age'
for the evening lecture. After re
viewing the various agencies and In
fluence molding the lives of ou1
country boys and girls, the lecturer
made a strong plea for the ethc1en
teaching OF agriculture IN all th'
schools both rural and urban. Sale
he, 'tProbably fifty per cent of al
young boys and girls have natura
hent for the country and the PLAN
and animal life which it suggests. 7
is their right to receive such scnoo
training that they will learn thai
there is such thing as science
which puts agriculture in the profit
c1ass-in class of occupation which
will appeal to intelligent men and
women. This would he sufficient
I justification for the presence of this
subject in every elementary course
of study even if it were not for the
broad acquaintance with the world
work which It likewise affords.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Secret.


The news of the collapse of the
army Of the East found our wretched-
" clothed and half-starved hussars
still patroling the environs OF Brest
from Belair to the PoDt Tournant, and
from the banks OF the Elorn clear
around the ramparts to Lannion bay.
For three months our troopers scarce
ly left their saddles, except to be Ia
ken to the hospital in Recouvrance,
Suddenly the nightmare ended with
a telegram. Paris had surrendered.
On the arst day of March, by papers
from London, we learned that the war
was at an end, and that the prelimi-
nary treaty OF Sunday, the 26th. had
been signed at Versailles.
The same mail brought to me an as
tonishing offer from Cairo. to assist

police. Speed and ], shivering In our
ragged uniforms by the barrack stove,

that the moment had come at last.
Far ahead we caught sight OF the
smoke of locomotive.

CREATIVE MAN

Hearsts Magazine recalls story
that attracted countrywide attention
at the time OF its occurrence, as being
illustrative of the wonderful ELL
cheney, resourcefulness and creative
ability of a wide-awake, alert intelli-
gent man who has cultivated the nat
ural faculties with which God has
blessed him-the intelligence that sets
him above the beasts. Incidentally
IL conveys the lesson that no man
blessed with these natural faculties,
and with health, should ever despair
and consider himself helpless

He kept his promise. and on the

There is mighty truth all OF us
can learn from this naked man In the
