FARMING AS A SCIENCE IS A MANS JOB.

CWritten Especially For The Bulletin.) b The California Department of Ed e ucation issues quarterly Blue Bull f fletin" devoted to terse but timely dis cussions of educational topics. 1t is \ to be inferred that. even in that com 2 paratively young state there is felt : to be need for better understanding g' of the farm situation. For one of the ' most important papers in a recent is z sue is frankly devoted to the discus 2 sion of Farming as Mans Job" 2 Let me quote some parts of it:
 2 ITO begin with, the successful farm z CT must have farming experience; x farming is both an art and science. 2 He must know How, When and Where. ! In addition to knowing how, when and . where to blow, plant, cultivate, feed, . etc. he must also know. whether to s plant the same crop or to rotate; ss Whether to sell or feed his crop to 2 animals; Whether to raise one crop or gseveral. It is desirable. further, that s-as far as possible he also know Why ~tice.
 . Farming is a business. Skillful buy Sing and selling are as important as eeconomic production. The successful z American farmer is a business direc- tor. assuming responsibilities which call for the ability to organize, decide < and execute. He must take risks and . be capable. of meeting emergencies.
 e Farming is a mode of life. In order ,sto succeed, a man (and his wife, tool, -smust like farming and country life Farming sometimes puts men to cru gcial tests It calls for patience and .hard work. The farmer cannot close Fhis desk at four or five o'clock and Block his troubles inside it. As rule she is at his place of business twenty efour hours a. day. ..- . Does it look easy? We'll meaning s.city- bred dreamers, who spend a Sun sday on the farm, taste it's products and epromiscuously preach Back to the land sFand Utopia,' have no conception of ssthe experience, brains and hard work yit takes to bring the result-to make sit financially profitable and a good -place to live and bring up children.

Singing Tree Of Queensland 10 Ere

Too Careless Hunter.

Although the tropical shrubs of
Queensland are luxuriant and beauti-
full, they are not without their dan

plant among them that is deadly in Its
effects. This is the singing tree. II

effects are curious; 1t leaves no mark,
but the pain Is maddening. and for
months afterward the part when

The singing tree emits a peculiar

KEEP COOL AND KEEP WELL
Some Points of Importance to Be Re-
membered When an Epidemic 10
Threatening Public Health.

At its worst any epidemic takes but
a relatively small toll Of the popula-
ton, and as rule the majority of
people are resistant to the assaults Of
the worst disease germs, including in
fluenza, II they but take ordinary care
Of themselves. This Is important.
Whatever medical science may advise
as to prevention or as to treatment,
one simple fact that outweighs every
thing else is that If every individual
will but follow the normal life he has
led, eat those things that are suited to
his system, things he has always eaten
with resulting good health, rest and
sleep as usual and avoid overfatigue
while carrying on his work. also as
usual, he Will escape the pestilence.
There Is no excuse for any panic.
Above all, the individual should re-
member that the first and last rule to
follow in this state Of things is to keep
cool and keep well. For the man who
will keep cool will keep well, and the
man who keeps well and has all his
faculties about him will keep cool.

HUNDREDS Of JEWS
SLAIN IN UKRAINE
TROUBLE REPORTED TO HAVE
OCCURRED FOLLOWING At.
TEMPT TO DlSARM JEWS.
Believed That Outbreak Was Result Of
Suspicion That Victims Had Acted
as Spies for the Bolsheviki
During Recent Months.

Warsaw.-A pogrOm is reported to
have taken place ut Breditschew. pop
ularly known as the Jewish capital of
the Ukraine, the place deriving its title
because Of Its all-Jewish population.
The trOubleNls reported to have Oc-
Cured as result of an attempt by
peasants to disarm militia which the
Jews We're organizing for their pro-
lection in all centers, which they an
ticipated would be necessary when the
Moscow government breaks up.
Reports received here give the num-
Der of persons killed as several hun
dred, while other hundreds are de-
clared to have been wounded.
1t is considered here that the con-
troll Of Petlura, the Ukranian leader,
has weakened, as otherwise he would
not have permitted the pogrom, his
policy previously having been to pro-
tect the Jews when possible.
1t is pointed out that the Jews lately
have been more bitterly hated because
Of their alleged Bolshevist tendencies
and also their employment by the Boil
sheviki as spies in many cases, they
being the only intelligent or educated
intruments obtainable for this work.

HEADGEAR OF ALL FASHIONS
In the Revolutionary War the Hats
Worn by the Soldiers Were Of
Many Designs.

In our past wars there were no such
things as flying shrapnel, or airplanes
that dropped darts of steel on the
soldiers below, SO American soldiers
wore ordinary army hats. But modern
warfare has made 1t necessary that
soldiers wear helmets of steel.
In the Revolutionary war our SOL
diers' hats were of many designs. One
Of the most common was the cooked"
hat. made Of black or brown felt and
turned up on the sides to form three
corners. The Virginia rifemen wore
brown felt hats with one side turned
up, and the Maryland rifemen brown
fur-trimmed hats.
The hat generally worn by the New
York rangers or riflemAn was Of black
felt, cap shaped, turned. up in front,
with plume. Sometimes words were
marked on the front, such as "Liber-
IT," Death" etc. Soldiers in the
cavalry or flight horse" Of Philadel-
phia wore sportsmen's caps, ornament.
ed with bucks tails.
Hats worn by the First Governors
foot guards Of Connecticut were close
ly modelled after those Of the British
Grenadiers. They were Of black fur,
cap shaped, with a piece Of yellow felt
in front. On the side they were deco
rated with red plume. Privates in
the Pennsylvania companies wore
braid-bound hats. The dragons wore
cap-shaped helmets.

RACIAL BLENDlNGs IN SYRIA
So Many Nations Have overrun the
Country That No One Race Can
Claim Pre.eminence.

Syria, the region extending from the
Taurus mountains to Egypt and from
the desert to ''the great sea-" is the
land of the patriarchs and prophets
and apOstles-"the Holy Land" Its
population numbers about three and
One-half million Of Semitic origin,
speaking the Arabic language, and yet
with so many races intermingled
through the centuries of the various
c0nQuests and occupations that the
people cannot claim any one race as
their own. Greek. Roman and Euro
pean crusader, all have blended with
the accent Semitic stock to produce the
Syrians of today. 60
In Syria was the one green spot
of Turkey--the Lebanon mountains. In
1850. because of the massacres, the
European powers insisted that these
mountains be made autonomous. And
since that date this little district has
been living demonstration Of what
the people of the land are capable Of
becoming.
The steep mountain sides have been
terraced to a height Of 1000 feet and
planted to olives, figs and vines. Taxes
have been low, safety to person and
property secured good roads built and
kept in repair. The people have con-
structed more comfortable homes and
have sent their sons to schools and col
leges.
The story of the achievements Of
the Lebanon and its sons during these
go years of autonomy would be a thrill
ing narrative in itself.

WITHIN YEAR AS RESULT
OF THIS ACTION.
Thirty-eight Commemorative Ratify
Prohibition Proposals, While
Other States Are Expected
to Fall Into Line.

Observation-Disclosures on Janu
airy 10 Of the federal constitutional
prohibition amendment made the
United States the first great power to
take legislative action to permanently
stop the liquor traffic.
Nebraska's vote gave the necessary
affirmative three-fourths majority OF
the states to make effective the amend
ment submitted by congress in Deem
Der, 1917. It was followed by similar
action in the legislatures of Missouri
and Wyoming, making thirty-eight
states in all which have approved a
"dry" America.
Affirmative action by some of the
ten state legislatures yet to act is pre-
dicted by prohibition advocates.
Under the terms of the amendment
the manufacture, sale and importation
of intoxicating liquors must cease one
year after ratification, but prohibition
will be fact in every state much
earlier because of the war measure for
bidding the manufacture and sale Of
alcoholic beverages after June 30, un-
til the rehabilitation Of the military
forces is contemplated. Under the war
time measure, expectation Of liquor is

held in bonded warehouses will have
to be disposed of before the federal
becomes effective.
Discussion as to whether the new
becomes a part of theacon-
stitution now that thirty-six states
have ratified 1t or whether it becomes
a part of the basic law only when
each state has certified its action to
the secretary Of state led to a search
for precedent, which showed that the
only two amendments ratified in the
last half century, providing for in
come taxes and direct election of SEN
ltOrs, were considered effective imme-

affirmative action.

Extravadance,

II makes no difference who admins
tiers the extravaganza or how high the
purpose is, extravaganza Is an evil in
itself. There is somewhat In the very
fact that invites venality and corrup-
ton. The very sight Of great pile
Of money excites desire that too often
finds some way for satisfying itself.
The papers are full Of instances Of
this kind. In fact, we could write
pretty good history Of the country If
we limited our narrative to graft and
grabbing only, and yet much of 1t is
overlooked because 1t is usual and ex-
pected. Extravaganza has made many
an unearned fortune and 1t is doing as
much these days, especially In govern
ment contracts. This country should
hasten to apply the doctrine that an
0vercharge Is crime and that profit
eering is treason. There Is nothing
that SO destroys the democratic level
Of nation, whether 1t appears on the
heights or In the depths.-Ohio State
