FARMING oUTRUNs DICTIONARY

A great many terms in common use
IN agricultural discussions have never
found a place in the dictionaries. So
widely used and important term as
"vitamin" has not yet found its way
into the principal unabridged diction-
aries. For the public, therefore, there
exists no approved spelling. no ap-
proved pronunciation and no approved
definition of the name OF thing that
is vital to all living things. There are
scores of terms, indispensable in agri-
cultural writing or speaking, that have
not been recognized by the lexicogra-
pliers, and there are quite as many
new usages of established words.
Blood line," term commonly used
in discussion of breeding, is not in
the dictionaries. Nobody knows
whether it is one word, two words, or
hyphenated word. "Overrun,"
term widely used to express the thing
tfat is practically the 1e7ermiring
factor of profits in creamery estab-
lishments, is unknown to the dicticra-

and any number CT other commonly
used terms, understood well enough
by agriculturalists, remain underlined
for the accurate information of the
general public.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, through the joint efforts
of the Bureau of Animal Industry and
the Divisions of Publications, has be-
gun 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
field man who knows the common rs
age of the layman, that of the scien-
fist who has the viewpoint of the spec
ialist, and the point of view that looks
merely to the use of good English.
Each word is submitted to the var
ious classes of persons interested. to-
gether with the proposed usage and
the authority or lack of authority for
it. From the suggestions received in
reply, the finally approved usage will
be determined.

acted upon in the manner described

fed he repeated over and over,
nothing else matters"
Farina is the staple, and there is
precious little of that. For example,
the food card given each person who
does active work calls for less than
three pounds of bread per week, $50
grammes of farina, 125 grammes of
meat, and an equal amount Of fats,
which is a useless apportionment,
since it can rarely be obtained at
all.
Fourteen pounds of coal per family
per week is all that is allowed. The
card also permits at intervals one box
of sardines, one candle, one small
can of petrol, and one cake of soap.
There is misery everywhere, ex-
cept among the small, wealthy class.
1t is written in the faces of the work
ers, in the hollow eyes of the young
mothers, in the rickety bodies. of the
poor little kiddies who cannot walk
alone at three years of age, and in
the tragic necessity of tearing child
rem from their mothers arms at the
railway stations, that they may be
shipped away to get the necessities of
life.
Send food to them!
And hurry it.

 From beginning to end the show was interesting and amusing. The jokes were new and the music catchy. Mrs. McNeer demonstrated her wond- crful ability as a pianist throughout the entire show by handling the many changes in the musical program as if she had accompanied the Ellis Com. pany all season.
