EFFECT OF JAZZ .
ON COCKRl0ACHES

The shimmy is fast becoming the
popular indoor sport of cockroaches.
This fact was divulged at Reed Col
lege recently when DR.. Helen Clark,
head of the Reed psychology depart
ment, described the effect of dance
music upon the lower organisms.
Miss Clark says soft, tuneful mus
ic viii, send healthy cockroach into
an emotional trance which finds ex-
preston in a rhythmic dance. High
stains produce an ecstatic response
which has every resemblance of the
shimmie.
Similar results have been observed
in the angle worm, which was wrig-
gled and shivered in perfect cadence
with a popular dance step. Expert
ments, carried on by Reed junior
student, showed similar response in a
captive mouse, which danced "fox
tr0t" to tune whistled in it's ear.

MEDINA COUNTY DAY
AT WOOSTER STATION

The second annual tour to the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment Station at
Wooster will be conducted by the Me-
dina County Farm Bureau on We'd
nesday June 23rd. This day has been
set aside as Medina County day at the
station. The staff will give their time
in directing parties over the expert
mental plots and explaining results
that have been accomplished thru the
different methods of treatment.
This should be most valuable trip
for the farmers of this county. The
Ohio station stands as the most sue
cessful institution of its kind in the
United States. 1t is considered Sec
ond only to the English station,
Rothamstead. No station in the coun-
try has at it's head as successful an
experimenter as DR.. Chas Thorne who
has been at the head of the station
work since it's establishment over
thirty years ago.
The annual state wide wheat field
day has been cancelled this year but
this will not interfere with the local
Souiioy oOul' COlllC tlIuG Will DG spent
in viewing the wheat plot work which
at this time of the year is at it's best.
We want also to go over the lime tests
as these have very direct bearing on
our own local farm practices. Prob
ably no station in the country has
more comprehensive tests on the lime
requirements of the soil.
Last year over $50 people attended
this outing. 1t was up to that day the
largest county delegation attending
the wheat field meetings. This year
we would like to make it many more.
We should have at least 700 in attend
ance this year as it will be the only
wheat field meeting that will come to
the attention of the Medina County
people.
Start early. Take full basket.
There is fine shady place to use for
the lunch time. Every one will be
treated cordially. Make this a real
County Agent Salisbury is especial
ly anxious that every farmer in the
county attend this meeting. The time
spent there, he says, will prove of
great advantage.

MAY BE SEVENTH

If Senator Warren G. Harding
is elected next November he will
be the seventh president to be born
in Ohio. Virginia heads the list
with eight. The first chief execu-
tive to be called an Ohioan was
William Henry Harrison, a native
of Virginia. He was resident of
Ohio when elected.
Here are the presidents born in
Ohio: Ulysses s. Grant, Ruther-
ford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield,
Benjamin Harrison, William Nc
Kinley, William H. Taft Grant
was elected from Illinois and Ben
jan1in Harrison, was elected from
Indiana.
From 1869 to 1881, twelve years,
Ohio had the honor Of being rep
resented continuously by its sons in
the White House. That was during
successive terms Of Grant, Hayes
and Garfield.
