FARM TERMS NOT
 IN DICTIONARIES
Great Many in Common Use in Agricultural Discussions Not
 Yet Recognized.
MOVEMENT TO STANDARDIzE
Department of Asric culture 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 coumon use in agricultural discussions have never found a place in the dictionaries. So widely used and important a term as "vitamin" has not yet found Its way into the principal unabridged dlction- aries. For the public, therefore, there exists no approved spelling, no ap- proved pronunciation, and no approv- ed definition of the name of a 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," a term commonly used in discussions of breeding, Is not in the dictionaries. Nobody knows whether 1t is one word, two words, or a 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 monly 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 30 of them are on the griddle now. Three points of view are taken-that of the field 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 Iy 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 he furnished later to dictionary editors with the view of obtaining uniform national usage. The cooperation of agricul- tural experts and editors is invited.

SUFFRAGE QUESTION.

The Hartford "Courant" in it's issue on Monday of this week, takes exception to the fact that a number of papers about the state have pub ished letters regarding the calling of a special session of the Legisla- ture to take action on the suffrage amendment. The "Courant" calls this letter-writing propaganda "mis- representing Connecticut" and to a certain extent we feel that we must , agree with it. We certainly cannot agree with the writers who said, in effect, that Governor Holcomb was narrow minded.
 The one reason that we can see for the anxiety evinced by some of the women to have special session now, is that in case the amendment should be ratified by the legislature, only Q few months instead of a few ycG@5 W ould elapse before they could use th2ir vote to good or poor ad- vantGgl. LGother advantage to the suffrage caYse, would be the example set by conservative and shrewd little Connecticgt, that other states have long watched.
 That the suffrage amendment will be adopted sooner or later seems to be general opinion, but Connecticut women seem anxious to have the state ratify this amendment and not wait to- have it forced upon the people by the necessary number Of states taking action favoring the amendment. Connecticut and Yer mont have failed to take action and the legislatures of Washington and Delaware, which meet this week, may favor the suffrage cause which would give full enfranchisement to the women of the country. Failing this, there would still be Connecticut and Vermont to fall back on, to say noth- ing of the south Atlantic and Gulf states
 There is little to be gained by "slinging mud" at the Governor or saying J.. Henry is to blame If the majority of the members of the General Assembly think as the suff- ragists say they do, why they will ratify the amendment when they meet next winter.

THE COMING PRESIDENT

By William Lightfoot Visscher Wherever Lowden's feet have trod, To serve his country or his God, His duty has been nobly done; The ends desired fairly won. In all his walks of life this man, Clean, clear of party or of clan, Has ever been just, true and fair, And bravely as men ever dare. From heyday of manly youth, To manhood's dignity and truth, No time or place has found him late In honor's call, from folk or state. Thru never-failing, faithful zeal, For State and Nations right and
 veal,
 With patriot soul, and mind, and
 hand, He won the place where heroes
 stand. Beneath "Old Glory's" Stripes and
 Stars; True to it's heroes deeds and scars, The land applauds his strong career A leader, sans reproach or fear.
