PRACTICAL USE Of POETRY
Without Verse People Would Go About
Isolated From Each Other by
Chaos of Misunderstanding.

If poetry could be in an instant
swept not merely out of print, but
out of language and tradition, there
would be Babel indeed. We should
go about isolated each one from each
by a chaos of misunderstanding, with
no more communication than we could
improvise out of intellectual terms,
says a writer in Century Magazine.
We could suggest nothing, cOnnote
nothing, say nothing but what we
could define. The practical reality of
that loss one may measure by our
proverbial ignorance of certain saw
ages and oriental races whose poetry
is alien to our own. Nor is that all ;
for poetry is not alone our common
repository of past experience, but to
a degree far greater than we realize
our source of present action. There
is no need more than TO remind any
observer of human nature that man
kind acts rather upon passion than
upon conviction. Brutus demonstrated
his point in prose it was a poetic ap-
peal that made the stones of Rome to
rise and mutiny. We define and de-
termine and decide, and still do moth
ing; but when we begin to feel, some
thing is done.

TEMPERAMENT of cameIs.

Bearing an innate grudge against all
restraint and all who restrain him. the
camel will use the great strength OF
his long legs to kick his keepers or the
dogs which guard him In the waste
places, but in the presence of enc
mics, among wolves or other beasts
of prey, he is a coward, forgets the
very use of his legs and proves his
erratic temper by screaming and spit
ting in terror. No camel wants to be
loved, and no one familiar with camels
ever entertains the least affection for
them. They make savages of what
ever people breeds them. The man who
owns and uses camels cannot live In
a city, he cannot travel the highways
through cultivated country, he cannot
have a permanent abiding place. He
is doomed to live in deserts and arid
grasslands, to follow the paths that
are lined with evergreen thorRs, tama-
risks and bitter weeds, to drink the
saline water that his evil tempered
beasts prefer and to avoid the haunts
of men and horses as the horseman
circles the deserts, says Rodney Gil
bert In Asia.

REALLY MORE THAN NEEDED
Younaster Asked God to Send Nice
Cool Rain and DeIuge Flooded
Fields of the Southwest.

We were living in the Southwest,
For weeks and months we had no
rain, relates a writer in the Country
Gentleman. Every day big, promising
looking clouds rolled up, broke apart
and drifted away. Streams were dried
up, vegetation was burning up and life
was weil-nigh unbearable TO man and
beast From II to IS inches of sand
and dust covered the highways; gnats
made life hideous; heat parched our
skin and throats. Rain was the only
relief, and rain we did not get. Every
on Bonded knees by his little white bed
asked God: please don't forget to
send nice, cool rain"
One day the big, black clouds rolled
were all frihged with green. Pretty
soon big wind sprang up and leveled
small houses and barns. broke down
trees. scattered chickens, ducks. straw
and haystacks all over the country. A
big hail followed the wind, and then
came rama perfect delugel Streams
rose clear out of their banks and the
water came creeping over the fields
and toward the houses and cattle
pens; pretty soon 1t had flooded the
yard and was nearly to the door,
Small Robert took survey of the

ened voice said: daddy. don't blame
it all on me. God had ought to knOwed
a small kid like me didn't need such a
awful big rain"

Need for Increased Production Leads
Department of Agriculture to
Investigate.
Prepared by the United States Depart
| IF Aerripult11raO

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The urgent need for an increased
production of sugar in the United
States brought about by the war led
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture to make a
study in areas where sugar beets are
now grown to determine factors that
are favorable to the production of this
much-needed crop. A report of the
Investigations has just been published
by the United States department of
agriculture as bulletin 721. This bull
Ietin discusses the soils and climate
best suited for sugar beets, suitable
farm equipment, methods of culture,
diseases and insect enemies, farm la
Dor problems, and other phases that
should be considered by the prOspec-
tive growers.
Almost any fertile soil capable of
producing crops of other kinds will, if
pre- perly handled, produce good sugar
befts, according to the bulletin. More
depends upon the physical condition
of .he soil and the way it is handled
THAI upon the SO-called kind and type
of the soil. Extremely sandy soil or
sol of a decidedly gravelly type, how
ever, is not usually satisfactory for
this crop. Successful sugar-beet grow
ing is confined to the temperate re-
gions. Frequently the beets will pro-
duce satisfactory tonnage of root in
warmer areas, but for some reason
they generally are not sufficiently rich
in sugar to make them profitable in
sugar making. Good drainage has an
important bearing upon producing high
yields.
One of the serious problems on
many of the sugar-beet farms is that
of labor. There are periods when con-
siderable labor is needed, as during
the blocking, thinning, and harvesting
seasons, and the problem of securing
the necessary help at these times is
one of the limiting factors in sugar
beet production. This problem is be-
ing solved by organizing available la
Dor, by adjusting the farm work and
by the development of labor saving
machinery.
