NATURE INFORMS
FARMERS WHEN To

Old MaximS Handed Down
from Father to Son Are
Found By Experts To Be

tsv MORNING JOURNAL cprertL LEASED wrHsl

Washington, oct. S.--The problem
Of making agricultural superstitions
into scientific data is being studied
by experts of the department of ag.
riculture, who declare that many old
maXims handed down from father to
son for generations are not really Su-
perstitions al all, but helpful informa-
uon discovered by keeniy obseryant
persons.
Everybody has heard some Of the
old maXims. They deal with every va
rlety of agricultural operation, Bean
planting Tor instance, never was done
by the forefathers of the present gen
Grafton except at the time of the BIOS
soming of the blackberry bushes.
When the catkins had formed on the
maple trees, it was a sign from nature
that early gardening might commence.
And toward the close of the season,
warning of frost was given by the ma
turing of coClileburs.
Now, the department of agriculture
declares that there is best time fol
every farm and garden operation and
that some tree or shrub or plant indi-
Gates that time more accurately than
all the scientific instruments can reg
lister it. 1t is those signs which were
noted by the pioneers who laid the
foundations of this country and re-
/ corded in the simple sayings handed
down to posterity. Soon they will be
! dignified with the scientific name of
"phenology," which is the science of
phenomena.
Collection of natural signs into the
science of phenology probably was be-
gun with a campaign against the Hes
sian fly. Experts were endeavoring to
determine the best time for planting
wheat so that the sowing would be late
enough to prevent ruin by the pest and
yet early enough for the grain to get
start before cold weather. 1t was
easy enough to work out the general
rule that the season varies four days
for each one degree of latitude, five de-
gless Of longitude and 400 feet of al
titude, but as no two seasons are just
the same, the rule could only tell APP
proximately when the farmer should
do his sowing.
! In seeking for a more exact guide,

conditions and not to dates, it was de-

would give the information desired. 1t
is now claimed that observation has
proved that the best time for sowing
wheat is that period between the full
blooming of tall goldenrod and the
time when the white, common Jap

the folklore of days called primitive

tallies. Sallee in this round was
driven from the box and the remain
ing two-thirds of the inning was
pitched by Fisher.
j. Collins started unauspciously by
flying out to right. Captain Collins
again singled. Weaver rolled one to
Groh, who let it go through his legs
and Weaver reached first and Collins
second. Groh's error and what fol-
lowed by Rath were costly. Jackson
drove a bounder to the Red second
bIseman, who made a straight tumble
of it and the bases were filled. In this
exciting crisis F'elsch, who is frequent
ly called upon to sacrifice, was ordered
to hit He singled to center and Ed
Collins and Weaver scored. Gandil re-
lieved the strain on the Reds by going
out, Fisher to Daubert. Risberg struck
out.
In their half Of this round, Cincin-
natl contrived to get a man on second
Tor the first time. Kopf, the first man
at the plate, flied out to Jackson.
Neale singled and walked to second
when Wingo was given walk. Wingo
became quite a pedestrian during the
contest, as he was given free passage
three times and he attained a batting
average of 1000 by delivering a hit in
the ninth. Confronted for the first
time with men on first and second,
Cicotte frightened. Reuther made a
brief appearance as pinch hitter for
Fisher and fouled out to Weaver. Rath
shot a grounder at Weaver and was
thrown out at first.
The sixth inning produced the one
lone tally accumulated by the Reds.
Daubert struck out, but Groh, smart
ing in self-accusation because of his
recent record of error, whaled the ball
over the Temporary fence in left, but
because of ground rules. what would
have been a triple or homer went
for a double. Cicotte threw Roush
out at first, Groh going to third. Dun
can was forced at second by kopf' S
grounder.
In their half of this round. J. Col
Inns doubled after two were down. but
the Cuban, Luque, now pitching for
Cincinnati, struck out Captain Collins
and the chance went glimmering. The
Cuban in the seventh famed Weaver
and Felsch, while Jackson died on an
infield smash.
In the eighth and ninth, the Cuban
pitched splendid ball, striking out Ci-
cote and retiring the batsmen, one,
two, three, with little apparent effort.
Cicotte was not menaced again until
the ninth. Kopf and Neale had been
retired on flies when Wingo singled to
right. Sherwood Magee batted for
Luque and also singled. If Rath, the
next batter, could have poled out a
home run it would have tied the score,
but his attempt in this line went no
further than Felschs mitt.
1t was not until the crowd had
worked its way from the grounds back
to town that it learned how small the
attendance really was, namely 1928,
which was less than half the attend
ance at previous games here and 90
600 under the Chicago average.

Beyond Omaha, which was reached at

A large crowd had gathered at the

Automobiles From u, S,

LONDON. oct. S.-Premier Lloyd
Georges announcement of the sus-
pension of board of trade licens-
ing restrictions on the importa-
ton Of American automobiles,
was the result of an increas-
ing preference on the part of English
motorists for the American cars quite
as much as the urgency of increased
motor transport to supplement other
means Of conveyance.
Formerly in England there was con-
siderable prejudice against American
made motor cars, This prejudice is
now ascribed either to Ignorance of
their true worth or snobbery. One
contributor to a British motor trade
journal, declares.
quite honestly, there is no better
value for money in the motor world
than the average American car. The
point at the moment, however, is not
exactly enc of sheer value, but wheth-
err, in our own best interests in the
long run, We should admit the vehicles
freely, ration their import, or bar
them altogether.
at the present time there is a des-
perate shortage of motors in this coun-
try. our own manufacturers, owing
chiefly 10 circumstances over which
they have no control. are unable to
meet the demand and so, to some eX-
tent, we benefit Immediately by i'm
porting motor vehicles from the
United States.
AT the same time, the fact remains
that the American factories cannot,
for considerable time. meet even
their own demands, yet they are will
ing to keep their own market short in
their attempt to consolidate and in
crease their foreign market, There is
ample food for thought in this fact"

 The poor animals never get any exercise And that is just where the mistake comes in concerning menag- erie. For the animals really get more exercise than they need-if they care to take it. Incidentally that state ment brings proof in happening in the Yankee Robinson big three ring wild animal circus which is coming to Prescott for one days stay Thurs day, Nov. 9th.

Con- stantly on the move, back and forth and stretching her leg chain to it's limit until Jerry Irwin, the head ele- phant man, became curious. One day just out of curiosity he placed pedo- meter on Jennie's gigantic neck. That night when she stretched out for sleep in her luxurious apartments in the elephants car, Irwin looked at the pedometer The little instrument showed that she had walked twenty three miles that day. 4 Incidentally Jennie bears the dis tinction of being the oldest elephant in the United States and naturally will appear in the performance and in the morning parade here.

PRESCOTT SCORES
 ANOTHER VICTORY

The Prescott Hi battering rams, who have gained a reputation for be- ing rather small but mighty loud, added another scalp to their belt last Thursday when they defeated the team sent over from Nashville by the high school of that place, the score being only 40 to 0.
 The local fellows were greatly out weighed but their unadulterated pep, backed by experience and a terrible swiftness, completely took the visit ors off their feet and kept them off until Hamilton made three touch downs, Huskey two and Chastain grabbed one, and ran for it too, mak- ing TO yards in the third quarter after intercepting forward pass. Chastain also kicked five goals out of seven at tempts, thereby getting a "toe hold' on his opponents.
 The visitors played a splendid game throughout, putting every ounce of strength into the trial Both sides gaves an excellent exhibition of clean foot ball, playing the entire game with only a view to winning by fair means.
