FEW WAR PLAYS HAVE LIFE
Writers Seldom Successful in Produc-
ing Dramas That Long Hold
Public Attention.

To write a long list of plays which
have in their day figured as war plays
would neither prove nor disprove any
thing except this-that they were so
written as to deserve recognition from
posterity, or not; if they were they
got it, and if they were badly done,
nobody remembers them; certainly
the fact that they exploit passage at
arms, a battle of war, never kept bad
plays out of the limbo of forgetful-
ness.
Dryden's enormous product includes
at least two dozen war plays, and they
are the deadest in our literature, ac-
cording to the Theater Magazine. He
loves alarms and excursions, but while
one ode devoted to them in a spectacu-
lar way is spouted by every schoolboy,
the plays of this poet in which war
as a spectacle figures even more
grandiloquently are quite lost to all
but the bibliophile.
The first war plays that naturally
recur to the Anglo-Saxon mind are
Shakespeare's histories. These are
war plays, indeed, if any exist in Eng
fish. Armies march and countermarch
through them, battles are Joined, lost
or won, cities are besieged and taken,
the sight and sounds of sixteenth CEN
fury warfare are constantly heard and
seen; they are perhaps the model war
plays of our language; and Shake
speare's free hand was the only hand
to deal with them.

DANGER IN CLOSE ALLIANCES
Is Most Probable When Cousins
IRE Welded.

Speaking of the possible hereditary
tendency to cancer, DR.. Charles b.
Davenport of the eugenics laboratory
at Cold Spring Harbor, n. Y, says
of the fact that the incidence of cancer
is highest in Maine: Il have no doubt
that this is due to the presence of one
or more races in Maine which are nom
immune to cancer"
Doctor Davenport's studies indicate
that resistance to cancer is a positive
(dominanD trait and that nonresist-
ance appears in children only when
both parents belong to a nonresistant
race. And this result is commonest,
other things being equal, where cousin
marriages are commonest, because
that makes it probable that if one
parent belongs to cancer race, the
other-the cousin-will belong to the
same cancer race. Now, in rural
Maine cousin marriages are extremely
frequent, especially in the islands off
the coast, and here we have the con-
ditions for the result-the high Incl
dence of numbers of the cancer race

SUDAN GRASS IN THE SOUTH
Now Recognized as Coming Hay Grass
OF Texas-PIant Is an Annual and
Never Becomes Weed.

tBy Fl. N. VINALL. United States De-
partment of Agriculture.)
A recent addition to our crop plants
Is sure to prove of great value to
the South. Sudan grass was brought
to the United States from Egypt in
1909, and no other importation ever
sprung into favor so quickly. 1t is
now recognized as the coming hay
grass of Texas, and when better
known in the southeastern states it
will be almost as popular there. In
the immediate Gulf coast region, how
ever, 1t, like the other sorghums. is
affected by the red-spot disease, which
farmers usually call rust At the
present time the price of Sudan grass
seed prohibits it from being general
ly used as a hay grass, but as soon
as the quantity of available seed is
greater 1t should become a recognized
part OF every farmers crop in the
northern two-thirds of Louisiana, Mis-.
sissippi, Alabama, and Georgia and in
virtually all of the states of South
Carolina. North Carolina, and Ten.
nessee. as well as Arkansas, Oklaho-
ma, and Texas.
1t should be sown broadcast or
drilled when the ground has become
warm in the spring, at the rate of Is
to 20 pounds per acre in the eastern
states and 10 to Is pounds per acre
in the more western ones. 1t can be
cut with mower and cured like any
other hay crop. 1t should be cut about
the time of full bloom. Two or three
cuttings can be secured, and Yields
OF three to four tons per acre may
be expected. The hay is very pala-
table and at least as high in feeding
value as that of Johnson grass. 1t is
an annual and never becomes a weed
in fields where it has been grown.

ORGANIZE ON ROCHDALE PLAN
Farmers Union Cooperative Corpora
ton Is Not One-Man Affair
New Ideas Developed.

Our Mitchell County Cooperative
organization came about through
the Farmers Educational and Coop
erative union, a fraternal order, found
ed by Newton Gresham, in Texas. IA
years ago. He had a vivid idea Of
the necessity of organization among
farmers but only vague notion OF
how to cooperate on large scale.
The plan presented was an awkward
makeshift which had been tried out by
the grangers and by the farmers al
lance and proved complete failures.
Our county was organized in 1910
and the man who was elected business
agent, provided in the order, was a
widely read farmer who had been in
terested in the Rochdale system for
years. He made the members of the
county union see that the job of coun-
ty business agent was too big for an
individual and we voted to form CO.
operative corporation, organized on
the Rochdale system, writes w. F.
Ramsay of Kansas in Denver Field
and Farm. We have been working on
that job ever since.
Our success has been so brilliant
that the officers of the order had to
concede its value and although they
gave us no assistance they allowed
us to work out our own salvation in
fear and trembling and the result
is that the grass roots are being or
ganized. l am stating the case frank
ly because l believe that the order Is
very valuable and has great possibili-
ties of development. We find that we
are developing along four lines Of
work: Social, business, educational
and legislative. We find here in Kan
sas that we can appeal to open-minded
men of all parties for support of such
measures as we want. In stating a
movement Of this kind organization
at the county schoolhouses, about
five miles apart, is necessary.
The movement is really an educa-
tional one-educational with big E.
there are sure to be many points not
clearly understood by everybody, but
If there is a systematic plan, it will
enable the public to talk things over
and rapid progress can be made. The
farmers as a class are ready for or
ganization. The only objection is it
never has been done. A cooperative
corporation on the Rochdale system
does do this. This Farmers Union
Cooperative corporation movement is
not a one-man affair. 1t arouses
thought and interest and new ideas
are developed. 1t can be adapted to
any set of conditions by any commu-
nifty. A community can now have the
benefit of our experience and in many
cases can do better than we have.

TOO FEW RECORDS ARE KEPT
Result Is Lack Of knowledge on Part
of Farmer as to Cost Of Produc-
ing Different Crops.

There can be no doubt but that too
few farm records are being kept, and
the result is a lack of definite knowl-
edge on the part of most farmers in
regard to cost Of producing crops and
live stock. Many things are frequent
ly produced at loss, and so far as
possible this should be reduced to a
minimum. Sometimes a dozen cows
are kept that barely pay market price
for the feed consumed. This is usual
ly the result of the herd containing a
number of drones that do not produce
enough to pay for their board. In
such a case records showing the
amount of feed each COW consumes
would soon point out the guilty ones,
which would then be sold to the
butcher.
In other instances Improbable grain
CROPS are grown that tend to reduce
the annual farm income. To help the
farmer to get in the habit of keeping
simple records, such as will enable
him to find the leaks, the United
States department of agriculture has
published Farmers Bulletin No. 66f,
entitled "a Method Of Analysing the
Farm Business" This bulletin con-
tains, in addition to descriptive mat
ter, series of blank forms designed
to enable the farmer to record the
essential facts concerning the crops
raised during the year, the transac-
lions from his live stock products,
such as the income from butter, eggs,
wool, beef, and pork, the current ex-
penses, and the depreciation in his
buildings and machinery. The bulle-
tin may be had free of charge by ad-

GULL IN STRANGE MISHAP
srds Life Endangered When Its
seak Was Caught Between the
Shells Of Clam,

At first thought it is hard to imagine
how clam could endanger the life of
a bird. That such a strange circum-
stance is not impossible is shown by
the following incident.
A settler on one of the small islands
near Vancouver was returning to his
home by way of beach of hard sand,
when he beheld an unusually large
flock of seagulls gathered in
compact mass and beating with their
beaks and wings upon the sand. Evil
IDENTIFY they were attacking some en-
wheeled and screamed in evident ex-
citement.
The settler was almost upon the
fighting birds before they burst apart
and flew. chattering, toward the
clouds. One, however, lay Tapping
upon the ground. and the man saw
that a monster clam held the gull's
beak in a viselike grip. 1t was too
heavy for the bird to fly away with.
and for all the gulrs frantic strug-
giles, it could not loosen the CLAIMS
tenacious grip.
With his hunting knife the man
pried open the shells and freed the
captive. The gull was exhausted from
its desperate efforts, and at first could
only stagger like drunken sailor
toward the water. Finally. however,
it flew away. and soon returned in
the van of a cloud of gulls come to
inspect the enemy that had trapped
one of their tribe.-St. Andrews Bea-
con.
