BUMPER CROP Is
EXPECTED IN FALL
Potatoes and Corn Growing Faa
Since Recent Rains, and
Prospects Are Fine.

One of the biggest crops in years 10
anticipated in the Red River valley
this fall. according to James frank
lyn, a farmer residing south of Min
nesota Point. who spent Saturday In
the city attending to business mat
tiers. Heavy rains after a period of
drouth have worked wonders, he de-
clares, M prospects were never so
fine.
Potatoes and corr are growing by
leaps and bounds, he declares. ana
from present indications the yield will
exceed any during the past ten years.
Although with no more moisture at
all, the Red River valley would en-
Joy a bumper crop, yet occasional
heavy rains, such as was enjoyed gen.
orally throughout Polk county yester.
day afternoon. will tend to increase
the production.
Farmers in every section Of the
county are optimistic, he declares.
Labor. however, as Dor as tho har-
vest Is started, will be the only sew
back to an enormous production.
With the cooperation Of business
men. however, plenty OF help to har.
vest the crops can be secured.

COTTON CROP WILL BE
GOOD NEAR TORREON
Prospects Of Bumper Crop I'm Meuaoo
Encourages "Fahficas" to In.

Z Torrson. Mexico, June 36.-once
more the cotton bolls nod in the semi
tropical sun of the great Laguna
cotton raising district and the haci-
endados and ranchers are happy after
years Of small crops.
The Laguna district is a great basin
near Torreon watersd by the Nazas
river and covered by a floor Of the
most fertile cotton growing land in
Mexico. The spring and early sum-
mer floods furnish water for the dis
trict and the fields Of snowy cotton
furnish the principal product Of this
section. Because Of revolutions, the
cotton growers have had little or no
cotton to sell in the past seasons.
This year the crop promises to be a
bumper n and the large industrial
plants, or "fabricas' as they are CALL
ed in Mexico, are installing new
machinery and employing additional
labor to utilize the cotton crop.

PsyehoIouy and the War.

Prof. G. Stanley Han of the Clark
university, United States, places the
subject Of applied psychology on Il
high plane In relation TO the war. He
states
Whatever system has been EN-
ployed, Il is evident that applied
psychology has produced results in
this war which II was never possible
10 attain before. Men have endured
more, they have shown more heroism
and daring ana have submitted to
more punishment than In any pre-
vuus war. No such slaughter wound
have been possible in former wars
without provoking n panic. This has
unQuestiOnably been due TO the sys.
TEN OF psychological selection, not
only for the various grades Of service
but for special activities within each
grade. Our country may as well think
OF going 10 war without flrst-class mil.
itary equipment as without a knowl-
edge of applied psychology. The Coun-
Gil Of National Defense seems 70 have
recognized this; and the National Re
search council within that body viii, ]
understand, contain representative
psychologists"

NEW METALS BEING SOUGHT
Manufacturers Looking for Substitutes
for Those Now Used Because Of
Advance in Prices.

The recent advance in price of many
of the more commonly used metals has
led manufacturers to adopt or COZ 7.der
the adoption of various substitute
metals or alloys for certain purposes.
The advice of the bureau of standards
has frequently been sought in this con
nection. An interesting field of inves-
tigation is opened up by such inquiries.
II appears that the metals tradition
ally and currently used for various
articles are in many cases no better
adapted for the purpose than others,
and a slight difference in price would
warrant a substitution. 1t is not usu-
ally possible, however, to suggest sub
stitutes offhand, as there are many
factors involving manufacturing pecu-
liarities. durability and other physical
and chemical properties that first have
to be determined. "There is" says the
bureau, "a very wide field of research
here, which would undoubtedly repay
