sickness and these attacks is, Of
course, still further to weaken a peo-

Another effect of the prevailing
nervousness is naturally to make peo-
pie far more irritable than usual: and
the physical weakness combined with
the overweight state of their nerves
also makes them disinelined for effort
or exertion. Religion, it is significant,

County agents of West Virginia, in
carrying out the program Of the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture
and the state agricultural college to
increase food production, last year en-
couraged the farmers of the state to
keep additional sows. the result be-
ing that these sows produced 1922
pigs, which increased West Virginia's
pork production BY more than a mill
lion and half pounds. The value OF
good blood In live stock breeding has
been one of the things particularly en-
phasized by the agents and thereby
16,446 cows were bred to registered
sires instead Of scrubs, which meant
an increased value at birth of calves
Of at least $164. 460, It Is estimated.
The agents report that 1870 cattle
were fed silage for the first time last
winter with a resultant saving Of not
less than $37, 900 to their owners. Ewes
to the number Of 6.895 were bred 10
registered rams instead Of scrubs with
a prospective increased value Of the
lamb crop Of upward of $500. Sheep
numbering 4,225 and valued at more
than 81. 900 were saved from the raw

of which even young children are
guilty.
Again, the children often cannot be
made to attend school, and the youths
cannot be induced to do any work. The
children play truant for days ana
weeks together, and the youths leave
their work Cor any trivial reason or
none.
Children and young people are con-
stantly quarreling until they come TO
blows; they have no respect for their
teachers, parents or elders; they Insult

Mt them sometimes and threaten them
with violence. Thieving, however, Is
the commonest offense.

Numbers of all classes of live stock
have been maintained. Those of swine
and sheep have been increased, the
former largely, the latter slightly. But
the quantities of forage and pasturage
for live stock have been diminished.
Sound agricultural practice de-

establishment of regular and satisfac-
tory rotations so that fertility may be
restored and the live stock carrying

Live stock, since it helps to retain
fertility on the land, provides profit

Diversified farming should become

farm shall produce the necessary fooG

for its live stock.
Loss from preventable plant dis

He works with his hands and is OPP

Their ideal seems to be that the

of his labor. They reject the notion
that "a laborer is worthy of his hire"
With them a laborer must get the sole

in the past have piled up for capital

destroying much of the same. In their
