DISCUSSES HEARINGS
BY NOLAN COMMITTEE
Correspondent Believes Showings
Are Inadequate so Far as
Regards Scope



The showings before the Nolan COM
mittee, or such have been made
public seem rather Inadequate SO far
as regards scope. They have been con-
fined to consideration OF the necessities
of mere physical existence, and this is
good as far as it goes. but does not go
far enough. though they may broaden
out later on-but reducing life to its
bare hone. no more represents life
than a skeleton represents a man.
What is to he done for the intel
1ectuals"" This question has been re-
Gently asked by writer of great re-
nown, so perhaps I may be permitted
TO voice a feeble echo 1t has always
been recognized. by those competent TO
Judge, that brains and culture are the
real constructive forces of civilization
and government And these hearings
concern employees of the government OF
frst-class power-and not sweatshop
workers.
Demand for Broad-Minded People.
And so il seems fitting and necessary
that the mental work of such govern
ment he handled by people broad
minded enough to perform brain work
credita bly,. And though il may be sup
posed. by those not initiated. that this
class of work is handled entirely by
the higher salaried officials. yet those
with inside information know that the
volume of such business is so great
that these high grade officers cannot
give all of il their personal attention,
even though they toll. as some 90.
night and day. SO il comes about that
1ad nv
paid meager salaries applicable only
TO mere routine work.
The point is the standard of human
yalues-whether the architect VINO
draws the plan of a building performs
more valuable service than the hod
carrier who hoists up the bricks. II
We are to revert back TO the cave man
era let us exalt the hod carrier. But,
from an architectural point of view.
the hod carrier might toll strenuously
with his bricks. but a faulty plan OF
construction would reduce the building
TO 2 pile of debris before nightfall.
The same principle applies to govern
inlent
Tho tendency now everywhere seems
70 he the emphasis of the Material or
sordid at the expense of the higher or
vital phases of life. a man physically
hungry can at least get attention
though perhaps not q meal But starv-
alton of the higher faculties is hardly
recognized. And yet we hear lot
about "uplllts, DuI tney are " VI Mig
from the wrong end.
Laborer's Estimate of Happiness.
Recently ! was talking with an illit-
crate man. laborer. about his idea of
happiness. and he replied: "Settin' by
a warm fire evenins, with my rent
paid. and plenty to eat" The great
universe Of mind did not exist for him.
and so this was all he needed.
But a higher standard is essential
for considering the needs of those per-
forming mental work for a hrst-class
power-I purposely reiterate the words
'frst-class power''-because some ar
guments make a noise like a petty
province. KINDA BURKE.

Where you haven't the alfalfa,
clover, beans or other legume to
piow down, apply acid rock and
tankage.
The PhOsphoric acid of bones and
s. G. Rock, besides being an essen
tial ingredient Of plants, especially
the seeds, promotes bacterial growth
and thus performs another service.
Kainit is better as a source of
potash, than muriate of potash.
Corn should not be planted more
than two inches deep. The ground
must be thoroughly prepared. Disc
sod before plowing, better some
time before. The plow will run
more easily, and the ground will be
in much better condition after the
plow. One or two harrowings can
be dispensed with. The moisture in
the ground will be conserved, and
it will be found that weeds are more
easily kept in check.
In case of a dash of rain after
planting, run the spike harrow over
the ground as soon as crust begins
to form. Keep on with the spike
harrow after the corn is up, and
before it is large enough for the
cultivator. If weeds persist in your
corn, attach pair of Sweeps" :"
such as are used in cotton cultiva-
ton, to your cultivator.
We have not yet found real
good winter cover for corn stalk
ground where oats or early potatoes
are to follow, the growth of crimson
clover being insufficient, by the time
must be plowed down, to pay a
substantial dividend on the cost.
Apply lime for corn, or for any
other crop in your regular rotation,
when the soil is found to be acid.
Be sure the lime is present when
seeding to alfalfa, clover, beans or
peas.

The Community Club of West
| Nottingham met in the Assembly
Room of the West Nottingham
Academy on Saturday afternoon,
Feb. 18th, at 2 o'clock. The meet
ing was not quite as well attended
as the one previous to it, due to the
fact that the day was SO cold. Pres.
j. J. Hanna opened the meeting and
the following program was rem
dered:-
Singing of Hymn, Battle Hymn
of the Republic;; Reading of the
Bylaws of the Club, Candy Bald
erston; Current Events, Grace Rey-
nolds; Essay, Agricultural as an
Art" Ernest Glackin; Music,
w. N. A. Girls; Reading of a news
paper clipping of an address by
Myron T. Herrick, Prof. Graefe.
Mr.. G. F. Marsh, County Agent of
Agriculture, made few remarks
before introducing the speaker Of
the afternoon, Prof. Opperman of
IAO 16A4SuAIOAdA OO41O60s
The subject of Prof. Opperman's
talk was Poultry" Before enter
mig upon his subject, however, he
spoke for few minutes on co-opera-
ton. From an experience of sew
eral years, he said, my rural con
clusion is this. Cooperation should
not be attempted except by the
farmers themselves, until the
American farmer is absolutely
driven against the wall, he cannot
hope to cooperate.
Prof. Opperman advocated no
special breed Of poultry, but con-
sidered egg production to depend
more on the man or woman behind
the feed bucket. In the case of the
fancy breeder, this might not be
true. but the majority of farmers
want eggs and not show-birds.
Three good breeds for the farmer
are the Barred Rock, Wyandotte,
and Rhode Island Red. He was of
the opinion that it does not pay the
farmer to use an Incubator. They
require more attention than the
farmer has to spare. Then in the
farmers flock there were so many
birds of the useless variety, he cited
an instance of two birds at the Mary
land Agricultural Farm which were
'Aactly alike in appearance, and yet
in looking up the records of their
egg production, one showed a total
OF 23O eggs, the other 6, this is only
one instance. To eliminate these
non-layers from the flock on the
farm is a problem, the trap-nest
would be best, but an extra expense.
The simplest method would be to
mark them with STRIPS of cloth as
they are seen on the nest, gradually
the useless ones could be eliminated.
The address was then turned into
a question and answer talk during
which feeding, the elimination of
old birds, prices of eggs, etc., were
thoroughly discussed. 1t is to be
regretted that the day was not better
so that more could have heard the
splendid address of Prof. Opperman.
The meeting adjourned to meet
again on March 18th at which time
there will be an address by another
of the Maryland Agricultural Prof.
on Cooperation.
