JANUARY BABIES
ARE STRONGEST
Are Taller and Superior in
Intelligence, /

Dr. Marccllo Boldimi, one OF Italy's
greatest scientists, has been working
with the Italian army gathering stat
istics upon which to base his opinions
on the fighting ability of various
classes of his countrymcn. The war
has given science a chance to prove
what 1t has for yeys suspectcd-that
a mans strength, height and initiative
depend far more than ANYONE suspected
upon the month in which he wah born
DR.. Boldimi has discovered that those
men born between Jan and March
81 are stronger taller and superior II
intelligence to those soldiers whose
birthdays fall in September, October
and December
BY living with the army, gaining its
measurements and observing the men
individually, he has demonstrated this
to his complete satiS4action
Several years ago his fellow scient-
ist, Deela Revere, found the proportion

lowest among those born in January
and February and highest In August
and September
The Binet tests have proved these
facts in the schcolroom and among In,
lants, but the bayouet viii prove them
on the battlefield, the victorious man
in duel with the cold steel being
more likely to be the man whose birth
day comes earlier in the year than that
Of the defeated individual. That is

Election Validity
Questioned Because
Soldiers Lost Vote

The question as to whether local
elections held in Oklahoma will be>in-
validated through the failure Of the
state board OF affairs to furnish printed
matter for the taking of the soldier
vote has been raised by Secretary Of
State J. J.. Lyon in letter to Gov
ernor Williams.
An act Of the legislature passed in
1917 gave soldiers and sailors the right
10 vote in all primaries and elections.
Mr.. Lyon says acquisitions which he
has made TO the state board of affairs
for printed matter TO poll the soldier
vote in several local elections have not
been honored.

Sheep for Vermont.
(Aliddlebury Register.)

Word that the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture is especially interest
ed in the revival of the sheep industry in
Vermont is brought by J. A. Sturtevant
a sheep expert attached to the state col
lege of agriculture extension service, who
is now making a survey of the status of
the sheep industry in Vermont and who
has been spending the past three days in
Addison. While most of the Addison
county sheep men of former days or their
successors have now become darymen, Mr.,
Sturtevant is finding some encouragement
from those who are interested in returning
| in at least a small way to the sheep in
dustry No argument could be made in
| favor of the successful dairymen giving up
his cattle, for every one of them ought to
be kept on the farms and breeding continue
with view to maintaining the county s
prestige as a dairy region. But there are
many of these darymen who from their
own experience or from an inherited
| instinct know the ms and outs of sheep
raising and who undoubtedly could profit
by managing flock, along with their
dairy. There is no form of the live stock
industry that requires less labor and in
the present day of scarcity of help, the
farmer who really understands the secrets
of sheep raising has remarkable oppor
ltunity. Mr. Sturtevant also urges new
lcomers to consider the chance, and offers
his help in the securing of the fiocks anC

One of the persons who is experiment.
ng with the open method of raising
potatoes in connection with the Stein
wav Civic and Athletic association of
New York is Henry f. C. Toedt of Brat
tleboro, who has pen of potatoes grow
ing in his garden on Green street. The
accompanying picture shows the potato
pen with Mr.. Toedt standing near.
BY the pen method the 'spuds' are
grown not in ground area as ordinarily,
but in pens constructed of timber and
measuring 8 TT. by 6 #, by 6 #. and
with a productive capacity of from 36 to
~ bushels each.
Waste spruce and other woods from
the factory operations are utilized for
the building of the lattice-like frame
work of eft. height.
The accompanying photograph shows
the results attained and conveys some
idea of the really beautiful scene the
sprouted pen presents with its square
of foliage representing an excellent crop
of "spuds" within the Enclosure, laying
in six rows. The experiment has re-
suited so favorably that Steinway &
Sons have been Intercepted on the
subject by many interested agricultural
authorities.
The potato pen principle of cultiva-
ton is known in scientific circles as the
Hendricks potato pen and is understood
to have originated in Missouri and Kan

formed promoter to claim yields four
or five times that of the average yield
of the country. Claims as high as is
or more times the average yield have
been made in special eases. Such claims
are absurd and no one need be misled
by them. A well-bred variety i'll the
section to which it is adapted may yield
a few bushels more than the varieties
being commonly grown. Very seldom,
indeed, can a doubling of the yield be
expected.
"Buying seed grown at a great dis
lance from home is another thing that
wheat growers should be on their guard
against. No wheat grown and bred for
California conditions, for instance, no
matter how good for California, has
been found adapted to the country cast
of the Rockies. California adapted
wheats do not succeed east Of that State.
Neither would the wheats adapted to
the Atlantic coast or the Mississippi
valley succeed in California. In short,
home grown seed should be used unless
the State agricultural experiment sta
ton or the United States department of
agriculture advises otherwise
