Agricultural Sups rs&it5ons v y =
Bsing Studied BY Experts

Washington, Oct 1.-THE problem
| Of making agricultural superstitions
into scientific data is 'being studied
by experts Of the Depar tment Of
| Agriculture, who. declare that many
| old maxims handed down from faith
er TO SON for generations are not
really superstitions at ALI but help
| full information discovered by keen
" observant persons.
Everybody has heard some Of the
old maxims. They deal with every
/, variety of agricultural operation.
Bean planting, for instance, never
was done by the forefathers Of the
present. generation except, at the
time of the poisoning OF the black
berry bushes When the catkins had
formed on the maple trees, it was q
sign from nature that early garden
ing might commence. And toward
the close of the season, warning Of
frost was given by the maturing Of
cockleburs.
Now, the Department of Agricul-
ture, declares that there is a best
time for every farm and garden
operation and that some tree or shrub
or plant indicates that time more ac-
curately than all the scientific in
struments can register it. It is
those signs which were noted by the
pioneers who laid the foundations of
this country and recorded in the
simple, sayings handed down to
'posterity. Soon they will be digni-
fled with the scientific name of
Entomology, which is the science of
phenomena.
Collection of Natural signs into
the science of phenology probably
was began with campaign against
the Hessian fly. Experts were en-
deavoring to determine the best time
for planting wheat so that the SOW
ing would be late enough to prevent
ruin by the pest and yet early enough
for the work out the general rule
that the season varies four days for
each one degree Of latitude, five de-
grees 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 a more exact guide,
DR.. A. D. Hopkins, of the Depart
ment, forsook the cold realm of
scientific formulate for "back to ma
ture"> information. AS plants re-
spond to climatic conditions and not
to dates, it was decided that some
natural indication would give the in
formation desired. It is now claim
ed that observation has proved that
the best time for sowing wheat is
that period between the full bloom
ing Of tall late golden-rod and the
time when the white, common
Japanese clematies flowers are near
ly all gone or the leaves are dis
tinctly colored on the dogwood and
hickories. ~ s
What has been done for wheat will
be done for other crops, but the
working out of the signs will be q
slow process. Meanwhile, every
farmer and even the city gardner,
have their own guides at hand if
they have eyes to see. Thus has the
superstitution and folklore of days
called primitive been justified by the
advanced science of the twentieth
century.

AUVEKE7SEMENT q
MEAT INJURIOUS
TO The KIDNEYS
Take a Tablespoonful of
Salts if Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers.

We are a nation Of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority, who warns
us to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble. !
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood Of this Irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish; thes eliminative
tissues clog and thus the waste is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system. h.
When your kidneys ache and feel
! k i Jumps Of lead, and you have
singing pains in the back or the
urine is cloudy; full Of sediment, or
the bladder is irritable, obliging you
to"seek relief during the night, when
you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid
stomach or : rheumatism in Z bad
weather, get from your pharmacist
about four ounces Of Jad Salts; take a
tablespoonful in a glass Of water be-
fore breakfast each morning and in q
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid OF. grapes and lemon Juice. ON
-bined with lithia., and has been used
Tor, generations to flush and stimulate
t1ctOgged" kidneys, to neutralize the
acids in urine SO it is no longer q
source Of Irritation, thus ending
urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a. delightful seffer-
vescent Whitewater drink, and no.
body can make 4 mistake by taking a
little occasionally to keep the kidneys
clean and active.

al system has been to increase the
duties Of the superintendent Of public
instruction." he declared. but this
measure seeks to change that It
attempt to undo in part what was
done ut the asst election" ~
Lacquer Objects
Fred Mees Of Morton county; a
strong Lacquer. objected to the bill on
the ground that it greatly decreased
the amount of bonds required. The
five regents are bonded at $4,000
each. he said, and the three members
Of the board of control at $4,000,
making a total Of $125,000. The new
bill provides for a bond Of $4,000 for
900 or $4,000 less than required un-
der the present system. He called
attention to the fact that the MEM
bers of the board Of control handled
over a million dollars in actual money
a a ago and he did not think the
bonding requirements sufficient.
Senator Cashill then opened the de-
bate for the majority. He said this
change had been contemplated for
posite Of the ideas and views of the
leading educators of the state. He
said that the plan of consolidating the
educational system was approved In
1912 by the NORTH Dakota educational
association. and that this bill was in
line with the recommendations made
at that time. The bill was changed,
he said, to meet the objections OF the
difference of educators.
In answer to Stenmos' charge that
the last superintendent Of public in
%struction had assumed too much au-
thority. Cahill declared that the bill
was designed to prevent that very
thing.
He referred to the fact that the
state superintendent is placed under
the board, where she will have a
chance to exercise her individualism.
He did not think it right to have a
erintendent to dominate the board OF
education. He also believed that the
charitable and penal institutions
should be under an education board
for the trend now was to educate
criminals away from crime n edu'
cate Authorizations away from people
mentally deranged. f..
There is great need. he said. fol
a. change in the method Of providing
text books. The system as applied t
rural schools is wrong. he said. for i
makes no pretense Of educating thu
boys and girls in the things they come
in contact with. They should know
whether one or W blades of fl
comes up, how beans grow, at wha
price cream. should be sold, and hov
to figure dockage. Only by chang
ing the text book system, he said
could the boys and girls be kept OF
the farms instead of educating ava.
from them as under the present sys
tenn.
"This' bill does not interfere witt
the present superintendent of schools
he. said. Had Macdonald been elect
ed, I am satisfied he would not hav
been on this board. But such a or
went.up when this bill was introduced
that we, decided to place the super
intendent Of public instruction upol
the board"
The bill was drawn. he said, to sys
y tematize the educational work of tn,
state: to arrange a building program
and to get ext books that will NEE
the needs Of the state and will b
worth while in>years to come.

was we'll defined and there was no
conflict of authority. He maintained
that the penal and charitable institu-
tons, together with the management
of the state capitol. the street a
line, ETC.. should be left in the hands
Of the board of control. because this
organization demanded men of bust
ness abilities. The educational sys-
tenn Of the state should he in the con-
troll Of men of educational experience
and executive ability! he said. There
is no marked overlapping of powers.
he said. and the work required by
each board necessitated men Of diff
of salaried officials. because he
thought better men could be obtained
under the present system to control
the educational institutions. -
Under this BILL he said further,
"the state superintendent OF public
instruction is compelled to occupy a
subordinate position. No n can fail
to see that it is an attempt to do So"
He quoted from the governors mes
recommended that the superintendent
of public instruction be given greater
powers and be made a member of
the board of regents. He spoke of the
bills that were introduced with that
in mind. Then, he quoted from the
governors message this year, IN Whlch
it was recommended hat the control
of the educational system be central
lied, but in which no recommendation
was made for including the duties Of
the board of control.
Appointecs Hold Sway.
The chief objection to Senate Bill
1874. he said, was the improperly Of
making the state superintendent, IN
elective officer. subordinate to three
appointive officials. Anyone familiar
with thu situation, he said. could see
that Miss Nelson would have cut a
mere shadow of the power that should
go with her office. Section 2. which
provides hat the powers and duties Of

declared. THE state superintendent
now is not subject to the board Of

have an authoritative voice on the
board of education, just as at pres

Stenmo also objected to the appoint
i've power being exclusively vested in
the governor. The senate ought to
approve the appointments. he said.
He maintained that h prominent ed
ucators were not unaualifiedly in ia
vor Of the bill. as league papers had
declared, and he quoted from an in.
terview with Dean Joseph Kennedy
to prove his statement. T.
