forestry at Syracuse. have been added
to the staff of the Vermont state for
ester as technical assistants. Both
men have just returned from army
service abroad, and the two were
classmates in Syracuse.
1t is understood that Vermont plans
elaborate work in its forests, and that
the two men, if they make good under
the state forestry department, will be
assigned as chief foresters of districts
of the state.
Morrill, was in the army longer than
any Cher man who went from the col

per cent of its entire enrolment OF
faculty. alumni and students. for he

NATURE Is SUPERIOR
TO SCIENCE ON FARM
Scientists Now Compiling Signs of
Old Time Farmers for
PLANTING

Washington, Oct. 10.-The problem
of making agricultural superstitions
into scientific data is being studied by
experts of the department of agricul
ture, who declare that many old max
inns handed down from father to son
for generations are not really super.
istitions at all, but helpful information
discovered by keenly observant per
sons. ~
Everybody has heard some of the old
maxims. They deal with every variety
| of agricultural operation. Bean plant
ing, for instance, never was done by
the forefathers of the present gener-
alton except at the time of the bios
lsoming of the blackberry bushes.
When the catkins had formed on the
maple trees, it was q sign from ma
ture that early gardening might com
mence And toward the close of the
season warning of frost was given by
the maturing. of the cockleburs.
Now, the department of agriculture
declares that there is best time for
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 regis
ter IL. 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 prhenology probably was
begun with a campaign against the
Hessian fly Experts were endeavor-
ing to determine the best time for
would be late enough to prevent ruin
by the pest and yet early enough for
the grain to get a start before cold
weather 1t is easy enough to work
out the general rule that the season
varies four days for each one degree
of latitude. five degrees of longitude
and 400 feet of altitude, but as no two
seasons are just the same, the rule
could tell only approximately when
the farmer should do his sowing.
In seeking for more exact guide,
DR.. d. Hopkins, of the department
forsook the cold realm of scientific
formulate for back to nature" infor-
nation. AS plants respond to climatic
conditions and not to dates, it was de-
cided that some natural indication
would give the information desired.
1t is now claimed that observation has
proved that the hest time for sowing
wheat is that period between the full
blooming of tall late goldenrod and
the time when the white, common
Japanese clematis flowers are nearly
all gone or the leaves are distinctly
colored on the dogwood and hickories.
What has been done for wheat will
be done for other crops, but the work
ing out of the signs will be a slow
process. Meanwhile every farmer,
and even the city gardener, have their
own guides at handif they have eyes
to see. Thus has the superstition and
folklore of days called primitive been
justified by the advanced science of
the twentieth century
