HoLYoKE. HAS LOST HONOR
Town Officially Declared Not to Have
Been the Birthplace Of Junius
Spencer Morgan.

HOlyoke, Mass. which has long
claimed the honor of being the birth
place of Junius Spencer Morgan, grand
father Of the present J. P. Morgan, has
been shorn of this fame by the town
of West Springfield. This decision has
been rendered by the Connecticut VAL
ley Historical society.
The explanation lies in the fact that
the present city Of Holyoke was for
merly part Of the town of West
Springfield and that, contrary to Holy
oke's contention. and the assumption
Of the Morgan family, the site Of the
ancestral home of Junius Spencer Nor
gan is still included within the boun-
darles Of West Springfield. though by
II narrow margin.
The present ]. P. Morgan received an
opportunity to perpetuate family his
tory in West Springfield through the in
strumentality Of any public gift which
appealed to his fancy. Though Mr..
Morgan was unresponsive, the contest
between HOlyoke and West Springfield
'for birthplace hOnOrs progressed mer.
rily and was settled only recently.

CROW is ENEMY OF FARMER
Under Modern Conditions There Seems
Little Reason for the Birds Con.
tInued Existence.

The record of the crow Is like its
coat-about as black as black can be-
writer in Detroit Free Press says.
II may be that in the great plan Of
nature. some time in the past, the
crow served useful purpose-like-
wise the hawk and the buzzard. Take
the buzzard, for example. Once pro-
tected by human laws everywhere be-
cause useful for removing carrion,
the stencil Of which offended the nos
trils of all animal life. 1t is now out
lawed. because man realizes that 1t is
better to burn or bury the dead-leav.
ing no excuse for the existence of the
disease-carrying buzzard. So, in the
beginning, the mission of the crow, we
may conjecture, was to preserve some
equilibrium, some balance in the econ.
omy Of nature. 1t may be he was
placed here to hold In check the weed
seed and grain eating birds, because
weeds were factor in the past in
covering the waste places Of the earth
and making them fertile. However
that may have been. there seems to be
no excuse for his existence now since
man. the agriculturist, seeds the
waste places to useful grains and
grasses and needs the help Of the in
sectiverOus birds. -

~Aviators' Ailments.

Rarefied air affects the aviator as
well as his engine. and those who plan
to make flying regular vocation or
to make frequent flights to a consider
able height are liable to find difficult
ties in adjusting themselves to the
new conditions. Etienne and Lamy re-
ported to the French Academy of Med
icine that enlargement of the heart
develops in all aviators. In ascending
to an altitude where the atmospheric
pressure is half that normal to the
body or less. extra work Is suddenly
thrown upon the heart. and n this Is
repeated often or long continued some
adjustment is the natural course. The
hypertrophy seems to vary In degree
with the height freQuented. Chasing
and bombing airplanes usually fly
above $4,000 feet, and the heart en-.
largement induced Is greater than
among the groups Of hiers who keep
in the zone. from 5000 to 10000 feet
above sea level.

RousEs HENS FROM INAc7IoN
Theory a. to Benefit Of Use Of Artl.
ee fetal illumination Would Seem
to Be Plausible.

How can artificial illumination have
any effect on egg production. is the
question being asked by some skep-
teal poultrymen who have never made
any tests.
The answer is. according to the
workers In poultry husbandry at the
New York state college Of agriculture,
that the light appears to equalize the
time between meals and to shorten the
period Of inactivity Of tho Fowls dur
ing the long nights
This long nights of the late fall and
winter months apparently cause the
fowls to use q larger proportion Of
the night feed for bodily needs than
would be the case under normal con-
ditions in the sprlngtime. when the
days and the nights are of practically
equal length.
At the time Of the year when fowls
lay the most eggs in New York state
the months of April, May and June
the days and the nights are APPROX
mately Of equal length. Under these
conditions. fowls appear to assimilate
their feed, secure the proper amount
OF exercise, and form their eggs to best
advantage.
The latter part Of December there
are about fifteen hours of darkness and
nine hours Of daylight, whereas In the
latter part OF June the reverse is true
there are approximately fifteen hours
of daylight and nine hours of darkness.
In other words, illumination at
tempts to initiate spring conditions SO
far as the hours of activity and the
regulation Of feed supply are con-
cerned.<

why He Wanted Arm straight.

A Canadian officer, wounded early
In the war. was sent to one of the in
situations to have his left arm made
over. The elbow had been so badly
shattered that surgery. wonderful as
its skill and resources are, could not
entirely reconstruct the joint. So the
officer was given a choice Of two
things-either to have a weak, NOV
able elbow, or a strong stiff one
Without hesitation the Canadian
chose the stiff elbow. and he aston
ished the surgeons by asking that the
arm be made perfectly. straight.
They pointed out to him that the
arm would be far more useful II the
elbow was set at an angle. II set
straight he wouldn't be able even to
put his hand in the pocket of his trou-
sers. But the Canadian had antici-
pated that argument by arranging
with his tailor to have the pocket so
low that by launching his shoulder he
could get his hand into it. The rea-
son he wanted the arm made rigidIy
straight was to be able to use a hunt

BEGIN TO RENEW FORESTS
England and Scotland Have Already
Started 70 Replace Trees Cut
Down During the War.

England and Scotland are preparing
to replant forests which have been cut
to provide war supplies. They are not
waiting until peace Is concluded. but
are doing It now. Never before hive
those countries been so bare Of timber.
Hunting ranges and sporting grounds
have been sacrificed to supply NUM-
tlon factories at home and armies
abroad. The old forests were pri-
marily ornamental and incidentally
useful. but those which are now be-
ing provided for will be primarily use
full and incidentally ornamental. says
Robert b. Moulton in Popular Mechan-
les Magazine.
In the United States we are not In
30 much need Of tree planting as they
are In the British isles. But there are
two kinds Of timber which the war
demand has greatly depleted. and
they are kinds Of much Importance
locust and black walnut.
There is another point to be consid.
cred In the planting Of these trees:
They can be grown on sandy tracts Of
land which are now considered Of no
value. and thus reclaim the land.
An excellent illustration Of what can
be accomplished in the way Of reclaim
ing useless land through the planting
of trees has been carried out during
the last six or eight years by res
ident of Whiteside county, Illinois. In
these years he hassaccomplished the
seemingly impossible task Of turniag
some 10 acres of sand, formerly as bar
rem as the desert of Sahara, into a
fourlshing forest. Nor is that all !;
for this forest. acting as a sand bind
er. has been the means Of saving other
fertile acres from the inroads Of the
drifting sand. and the total result be-
ing that the farm has increased sew
eral times in value. The sandy tracts.
which. before being planted to trees,
were practically worthless, are now
worth anywhere from $50 to 500 an
acre.
