They'll all get up at dawn.
The War department has formu-

General Nicholson, commanding
Camp Meade, which compelled all
officers of the camp to arise at

a captain usually pounded the hay

This is due to the fact that most OF

bakers are accordingly faced by the

cording To Report; Cold Dry
Weather Is Said To Be
the Cause

The growing condition Of winter
wheat In oklahoma IS Sc per cent,
which is probably the poorest in
years. 1t is a decrease Of 6 per cent
ftom last month and compares with
50 per cent a year ago. This Is re-
Elected by the report today OF the
department of agriculture and shows
The condition up to Jan %.
Tho cold, dry weather did consider
able damage to the wheat, 1t Is stated
r. the report. There was a heavy
snow In the north and northwest part
OF the state and this was quite bene-
flcial to the wheat, but in the west,
ard southwest the snow blew away
from the plant, leaving 1t bare, and
little benefit resulted.
laiaThere is 2S per cent OF the corn
crop in the farmers hands. wheat
Bfer cent, oats l9 per cent and kafir
3 per cent. This compares about
4 equally with a year ago.
4 The condition of all live stock av-
erages about "a per cent. There Is a
decrease in poultry of 10 per cent
due to the fact that high feed prices
compelled farmers to sell their chick
ems.
A serious shortage Of feed exists
ln the southwestern part of the state
although the department has beer
successful in having some shipped ir
lately. The condition of wheat IL
probably the moIt itscouraging.

Journal of Heredlty, organ Of the
American Genetic association, whose

1t was worked out by NJ Terman
of the department of education Of

THE Measurement of Intelligence.
Professor Terman has found that
what he calls the vocabulary test"
will measure with 80 per cent aecu-
racy the intelligence of any indiyid-

The one hundred words printed

professor, by selecting the last word

sumption thai 100 words selected ac-
cording to some arbitrary rule viii be
a large enough sampling to afford a
fairly reliabel index to subjects en-

viduals have shown that this assump-
tion is justified, the variation be-
