FARM TERMS NOT
IN DICTIONARIES
Great Many in. Common Use in
Agricultural Discussions Not
Yet Recognized.
MOVEMENT TO STANDARDIzE
Department Of Agriculture Plans to
Secure Uniform National Usage
of Terms Indispensable in
Agricultural Work.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
A great many terms in common use
in agricultural discussions have never
found place in the dictionaries. SO
widely used and important a term as
''vitamin" has not yet found it's way
into the principal unabridged dictiOn-
aries. For the public, therefore. there
exists no approved spelling, no ap-
proved pronunciation, and no approx
ed definition of the name of thing
that is vital to all living things.
Terms Not Recognized.
There are scores of terms, indis-
pensable in agricultural writing or
speaking. that have not been recog-
niZed by the photographers, and
there are quite as many new usages
of established words. BLOOD line,"
term commonly used in discussions
Of breeding, Is not in the dictionaries.
Nobody knows whether it is one word,
two words, or hyphenated word.
"Overrun," a term widely used to ex-
press the thing that is practically the
determining factor of profits in cream
cry establishments, is unknown to the
dictionaries standardized" trap
nest" and any number of other COM
monty used terms, understood well
enough by agriculturists, remain un-
defined for the accurate information
Of the general public.
To, Standardize Terms.
The United States department Of
agriculture, through the joint efforts
Of the bureau of animal industry and
the division of publications, has begun
a movement to standardiZe the use Of
such terms, and about 80 Of them are
on the griddle now. Three points of
view are taken-that of the fed man
who knows the common usage Of the
layman, that Of the scientist who has
the view point of the specialist, and
the point of view that looks merely to
the use of good English. Each word
is submitted to the various classes OF
persons interested, together with the
proposed usage and the authority or
lack of authority for it. From the
suggestions received in reply, the final
ly approved usage will be determined.
The first agricultural term to be
acted upon in the manner described
was "corn belt" That was consider
ed more appropriate than cOrn-belt or
cOrnbelt.
Although the principal purpose is to
establish approved usage for depart
ment Of agriculture publications, lists
of terms evolved will be furnished
later to dictionary editors with the
view of obtaining uniform national
usage. The cooperation Of agricul-
tural experts and editors is invited.

MANURING IN COLD WEATHER
Particularly Advisable to Make Appii-
cation in Winter, Says Pur-
due University.

The Purdue university extension de-
partment particularly advises applica-
ton of manure in winter when it con-
tains a great amount of straw and un-
decomposed matter. The loss of plant
food because of the teaching of the
manure will be offset by the advan-
tages of winter application. AS far
as possible coarser manures should be
applied to the heavier clay soils, since
these will respond in fertility and will
be made more mellow and porous.

Umbrella Is an Adornment.

Dressmakers are showing great in
tereSt in umbrellas as accessories to
their costumes. This is the first time
that umbrellas have been considered
adOrnmentS. The newest of them, like
the French shoes, are clumsy and
stubby in appearance. Brown is the
fashionable color. The novelty in um-
brellas is the clublike stick, most elab-
orately ornamented through wood,
ivory and tortoise shell carvings and
other forms of decoration.
These umbrellas have made their
first appearances through exclusive
shops, as we'll as the Paris dress
makers. Therefore, many Of the de-
signs are exclusive to the individual
house selling them. Among the most
notable are the carved ivory handles
which are at least three inches wide
and from one and half to two inches
thick. On these handles graceful
Egyptian figures are cut, the silhou
cited figures being in ivory with a
background of celestial blue. A
handsome one has handle of brown
wood carved to initiate the joints OF
bamboo. The tips, ferrule and Orna-
ments on the handle are carved coral :;
the silk cover is brown to match
