stage business, but he is artist enough
to employ them only so far as is pos
sible without marring sthe poetic and
romantic beauty of the masterpiece
He blends the poise and elaboration
Of the older school of tragedy with the
director and simpler methods of the
present day. and thus produces an
artistic whole which impresses us who
are of today as wholly true to nature,
and yet in the highest degree poetic
and beautiful. His Hamlet lives and
is in all things essentially human. We
feel with him and for him, because he
seems one of our own kind. He is no
saddened divinity from some other
sphere. He is a man, and his sorrow
as we'll as his happier moments make
direct appeal to us. Forbes-Robert-
son employs numerous readings and
bits of stage business which are in
teresting and illuminative Many of
them are new and all Of them show
how carefully, thoroughly and intelli-
gently the player has studied the char
aCter of Hamlet. His reading of the
! longer soliloquies is in every instance
marked by the finest possible modera-
ton, intelligence and naturalness
There is nothing of the studied speech
about any of them, nothing of the sug-
gestion of conscious philosophizing or
uttering of smart or clever things. He
| is merely thinking aloud, the audible
signs of man who had suffered great
sorrow and who feels in some indefin-
able way that conditions around hin
are not what they should be, with what
dramatic intensity the speech de,
mands but never with aught of ram
about it.

Fundamentals of Farm Management

Fundamentals of Farm Management.
Certain fundamental principles of
farm management are advanced by
specialists of the department as hav-
ing been brought out or substantial
ed by thoro agricultural survey of
an old and representative farming
section of Chester county. Pa. These
principles are summarized as fol-
lows:
Farming conforms to local soil eli
mate, labor, and market conditions
as we'll as to the business conditions
of the individual farm.
When conditions remain unchang-
ed for long time, farming becomes
approximately what it ought to be to
get the best results, provided that
most profitable does not deplete soil
fertility.
Success in farming, measured in
per cent of profit on investment, does
not depend on the magnitude of the
farm business, but measured in
terms of the standard of living of
the farm family 1t is directly proper
tional to the magnitude of business.
Profits increase as yields per acre
increase until the yields are consid-
erably above the average for the To-
cality, but beyond this point increas-
ed yields are obtained at loss.
In quantity of product per dairy
COW the point of diminishing re-
turns is not reached in ordinary
farm practice.
II is easier and more profitable to
increase low yields per acre than
high ones, and small product per
COW than large product. In other
words, profits can be increased more
easily by attention to the weakest
points in a farming system.
There is a way of grouping the en-
terprises of farm that is more prof
liable than any other way; that s,
there is a certain most profitable
acreage for each crop and a most
profitable proportion of income from
any one source.
Some enterprises. such as poultry
keeping, may be made profitable as
side lines. yet are difficult to make
profitable when made a main fea-

Agricultural Moving Pictures.

The Department of Agriculture
was one of the first of the govern
ment bureaus to take up the movie
as means of education. The mo-
tion picture work has been financed
by having each bureau whose oper-
atoms are shown in film stand the
expense of its production. Each bu-
reau owning films has been request
ed by the committee to make the
widest possible use of them to pur-
chase additional projectors and to
have other copies of their films
made when these can be used to
good advantage in carrying out spec
ial campaigns of education. Informa-
ton about this accelerated motion
picture work will be gathered to a
head by monthly reports to the
chairman of the Motion Picture Com
mittee, which, In addition to data as
to subjects, location and dates, will
make as accurate an estimate as
possible of the effectiveness Of the
films in increasing the size of the
audiences over those attending sim
liar unillustrated lectures, or those
illustrated by lantern slides.
Finally the committee will bring
about cooperation between the film
owning bureaus and the states rela-
tion service of the department, which
has under 1t hundreds of country
demonstration agents in all parts Of
the country.

Cowpeas Increase Soil FertiIity.

When p. II. Ross went to Leaven-
worth County, Kan, four years ago
as agricultural agent, he found many
farms in the county in badly worm
out condition. A fertile soil is the
basis of successful agriculture, and 1t
seemed to him that the principal
problem in that country was to re-
build these worn out farms. AS a
quick means of showing what could
be done, the farm bureau furnished
enough cowpeas to plant an acre
on a number of farms in the coun-
ty. These cowpeas were distributed
by Mr.. Ross, and they were planted,
and along in the fall the crop was
plowed under. AS result of the
fertility added by blowing under
this crop of cowpeas, the yield Of po-
tatoes the following year was in
creased twenty-five bushels an acre
over a similar plot that did not grow
a crop of cowpeas. Corn was in
creased at the rate of nine bushels
an acre. The seed bed upon which
the wheat was sown was poor. 1t
is not an easy matter to prepare
suitable seed bed after blowing un-
der a green manuring crop. 1t is
usually a better plan to follow the
turning under of a crop of cowpeas
with corn. The purpose of this dem
onstration, however, was accomplish
ed. 1t showed that even so simple
a measure as turning back a little
fertility in the form of a green ma
nure crop, would Immediately show
in the crop following.
The farm bureau Of Leavenworth
County has been systematically work.
ing along the line of soil improve
ment ever since its organization.
More live stock has been introduced
into the county. Silos have been
built, and when the farmers of the
county begin to take systematic
measures to rebuild their soil, the
yields of the stable crops of the
county will begin to Increase

FARM DEPARTMENT
ror our Farm Department..

Hartford, KY, Feb. z, 1916
Editors Hartford Republican,:
Let me congratulate you upon
your happy thought to establish a
Farm Department" in your paper,
which will be of benefit to all the
farmers in the Green River Coun-
try"-if they will subscribe for your
newspaper-and read 1t. Moreover,
the farmers can exchange ideas about
proper tillage and rotation of crops,
the best methods of fertilizing and
conserving their soils, and the most
profitable way of marketing their
crops-if they will use the Republic
can as the vehicle for those purposes.
Not only this, but every agricultur-
fist should pay for and support his
local and county seat paper, In order
that said paper may be able financial
", and mentally and mechanically,
to furnish him a better paper, edi-
torially, educationally and agricul-
turally.
II is by the cultivation of commun-
fly interests rather than the selfish
and short-sighted individual interest
that the social spirit is engendered,
which leads to the cooperation
among the farmers for their own
benefits, individually and collectively.
One farmer (nor a few farmers)
does not count in the scheme OF
things now, when all the capitalists,
all the buyers and all the. corpora
lions stand united together to fleece
the farmers and to exploit labor in
general and in common.
These exploiters of the working
class are intelligent (for their own
economic interests), and class con-
scious in all their purposes for par
asitism on labor. Hence, they have
their organizations and associations
for, not only protecting their class
and economic interests, but also to
enhance their profits. Why, then, is
the farmer so stupid and ignorant
that he will not unite with his broth
er farmers to protect his class and
economic interests?
Does not the farmer now realize
that the sun of the day individual
ism has set never to rise again, but
that the dawn of the glorious morn
of collectivism is now here? Can
he not see that the hell of COMPETE
ton is passing and that the era of
cooperation Is coming?
Whenever the farmers and labor
ers realize that competition and cap
ftaiism as evidenced in Europe, are
destroying life, property. civilization
and happiness, and creating hell and
pandemonium on earth, they will be-
stir themselves to bring about col
1ectiyism and cooperation.
Let our farmers revive the Amer
lean Society of Equity, pool their
products, stand for their common
good, and labor together under the
motto-'One for all, and all for one,
and, eventually, they will prosper
and be happy!
Yours for the social, financial and
class-interests of the farmers and
iaborers.
