THE AMERICAN STUDENT
INFLUENCE.

That the American students who go to
study abroad have a decided power
and influence has recently been well
demonstrated in Sweden. Recent is
sues of the Polstjarnan, official or
gan of the Swedish students Union
for the total Abstinence published
at Uppsala, Sweden, has carried a Sc
ries of interviews with the twelve
American students studying in Swe-
den under the Swedish-Ameriean
Foundation. In each of these, empha-
sis has been laid on the difference IN
student life between America and
Sweden and how that difference has
on one hand brought about a sentl-
ment in favor of prohibition, and in
the other country created an atmos-
phere of utmost liberality in matters
of personal custom. That these Amer
lean students will make large i'm
press on Sweden in favor of abstain
ence and prohibition is certain. Their
contribution i'll such field will be the
result of the "dry" atmosphere which
has surrounded the American colleges
and universities.

THE HINDERED CHRIST.

The Lord Christ wanted tongue one
day
To speak message OF cheer
To a heart that was weary and worn
and sad,
And weighed with mighty fear.
He asked me for mine, but was busy
quite
With my own affairs from morn till
night,
The Lord Christ wanted hand one
day
To do loving deed;
He wanted two feet, on an errand for
Him
To run with gladstone speed,
But 1 had need of my own that day;
To His gentle beseeching 1 answered,
"Nayw
So all that day I used my tongue,
NV hand, and feet as / chose;
I said some hasty, bitter words
That hurt one heart, God knows.
l busted my hands with worthless
play,
And my willful feet went a crooked
way.
And the dear Lord Christ-was His
work undone
For lack of willing heart?
Only through men does he speak to
men;
Dumb must He be apart.
I do not know but I wish today
I had let the Lord Christ have His
way.

INTEREST IN FARM MOTORS
Government Schools Give Special ln-
struction in Operation of Trae-
tors and Trucks.

The government in calling attention
to the increased use of automobiles
and motor trucks on the farm, has
laid its finger on the one big factor
that is going to not only make farm
ing an attractive business proposition,
but will increase the number of produc-
tive farms and make life on the farr.
more attractive.
The government schools teach men
how to operate farm tractors success
fully, thus creating new business or
profession, that of the farm mechani-
cal operating eXpert-a man who can
take hold Of the production activities
of the farm and through the correct
operation of tractors, motor trucks and
other motor-driven implements and ap-
pliances can double and treble the pro-
duction and distribution of farm prod
ucts.
The automobile insures quick indl-
vidual transportation from one heid TO
another on the farm, or from the farm
to the nearest shipping point or city.
The motor truck likewise insures eco
nomical and dependable transporta-
tion of produce and live stock, from
farm to shipping point or city. With
the tractor insuring equal efficiency
in production of farm produce, the
farmer of today will be the equal OF
his city brother in the matter of en-
ploying time, labor and cost saving
equipment that not only increases pro-
duction but makes the actual work
more attractive and remunerative.
Without a doubt, the farmer OF a
few years hence will employ motor
driven equipment cn nearly the same

A Grateful Letter.

It is in trying conditions like that
related below by Mrs. Geo. L. North
of Naples, N. Y. that proves the
worth of ,Chamberlain's Collie and
Diarrhoea Remedy. "Two years ago
last summer" she says" tour little boy
had dysentary. At that time we were
living in the country eight miles
from doctor. Our son was taken i'll
suddenly and was about the sickest
child I ever saw. He was in terrible
pain all the time and passed from one
convulsion into another. I sent my
husband for the doctor and after he
was gone thought of a bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy in the cupboard. l gave him
some of it and he began to improve
at once. By the tine the doctor arri-
we'd he was out of danger"

ROADS TO DEVELOP COUNTRY
OF 2,5oo,0oo Miles of Rural Roads in
United States, but IL Per Cent
Has Been Improved.

There are today some 2,500,000 miles
Of rural roads in the United States.
OF this amount perhaps IL per cent
could be classified as improved, while
only about one-quarter of l per cent
can be said to be suitable for the car
riage of heavy-duty motor trucks. And
in the face of this condition 1t can be
said without contradiction that the
future development Of the United
States rests upon the road.

ALFALFA AND SWEET CLOVER
Two Crops Are First Cousins But De.

Their GroWths.

Cut alfalfa when the buds Of the
second growth begin to show at the
crowns of the plan5s. Cut sweet clover
when the blossoms are about half out

In this respect: Alfalfa shoots from a

seventeenth days. The general belief
that old sows have CESSATION period
one to three days longer than young
er sows seems to have no very good
basis.
Neither Sex Predominates.
There was little, if any, correlation
between the length Of CESSATION period
and the birth weight Of pigs, and the
sex of pigs in relation to the length
of CESSATION shows no tendency for
either sex to predominant more than
normal.
The average size Of litters was 81
pigs. The average weight of litter
was about 20 pounds. The average
weight Of pigs in litters with fewer
pigs than the average was 2.67 pounds,
and in litters with more pigs it was
2.57 pounds. The grand average OF
all pigs was 2.55 pounds.

Where one finds bad roads, he gen.

are generally run down, the vehicles

the farmer generally has some pride
about himself, and tries to bring his

SIZE CT LITTER Increased
Popular Belief substantiated That
Young Mothers Produce Smaller
Piss-variation in Length R
of termination Period. @

A careful study Of records relating
to the birth of 100 litters of pigs at
the University of Illinois reveals many
sidelights for those interested in hog
raising. The 720 litters contained
$40 pigs CT seven distinct breeds.
The following conclusions are drawn
in bulletin No. 226 of the University
of Illinois agricultural experiment sta
tion.
On the whole, the belief that young
sows produce smaller pigs than do
older sows IS substantiated. Likewise
the data substantiated popular belief
that up to a certain age, about three
years, there is an increase in the
size of litter as sows grow older.
The older sows farrowed 1928 per
cent of dead or immature pigs as COM
pared to 81 per cent by the younger
sows.
1t is doubtful whether there are any
variations in farrow attributable 20
the season at which pigs are farrowed.
Increase in Litter.
In succeeding litters from the same
SOW there was an increase In number
Of pigs per litter and in the weight Of
individual pigs until the fourth litter,
at which time the sows were three
and one-half years old.
The records obtained from 549 lit
tiers showed a wide range, SO to 124
days, in the length of CESSATION period,
with an average Of 114.5S days. How

IS FARM PRODUCING
FOODS FOR FAMILY?
One of important Factors Deter.
mining Amount Of Income.
Garden and Live Stock Are Usually
Cared for at Times That Do Not
Materially Interfere With
Regular Farm Work.

Is the farm producing such of the
family foods as are adapted to local
conditions in ample quantities for the
welfare of the family?
The value of the family living fur
nished directly from the farm is one Of
the important factors determining the
amount of the income of the farm and
the degree to which the farm business
IS safe and profitable, says the United
State department of agriculture. This
is especially true of the smaller farms.
The garden ard live stock which
supply the larger part of the family
food are usually cared for at times
that interfere comparatively little with
the regular farm commercial enter
prises, and by labor which otherwise
would not be utilized. Further, it has
been found that, up to considerable
size of farm business, when the fam
lily food is produced on the farm, this
item. plus the fuel and shelter fur
nished by the farm, amount to an
equivalent of the rent for the entire
farm or interest on the ub%e farm
investment.

can be so "sour" that even alsike will
not grow. In such case there is
nothing for it but to lime or to quit
clover.
On land that has lime but is other
wise poor and lacks organic matter,
try sweet clover. 1t is no use sowing
this on "sour" soil. 1t won't thrive.
But with lime it is about the best
clover for poor land. 1t will add or
ganic matter and nitrogen and leave
such a soil in better shape for the
following crops. Sweet clover seed is
cheaper than red and in many cases
a farmer could probably substitute
sweet clover for red in the rotation.
The questions involved in the I'M
portance of clover and methods OF
getting a stand, use of lime, and
sweet clover are only touched on here.
Any state experiment station or the
United States department of agricul-
ture will send bulletins or additional
information on request.

ARMY REORGANIZATION
PLAN is ATTACkED;

aNould Build Up Military System
Equal To That Existing In Any
Country" Says Mcclellan

ton bill was attacked as measure
that would build up military sys-
tenn equal to any that ever existed in
any country at any time" by Senator
Mcclellan, Democrat, of Tennessee,
during consideration Of the legislation
in the senate.
The Tennessee senator's criticism
was directed principally at provision
of the bill for a large general staff,
the creation of the office of under
secretary OF war and for the organi-
cation Of a war council to consider
policies affecting military and muni-
ton problems. Senator Mcclellan in
Dictated his opposition to universal
military training but reserved his at
tack upon it until the general fight
on the plan is brought to the senate
floor.
Senator Wadsworth, Republican, OF
New York, in charge of the bill, and
Senator Frelinghuysen, Republican, OF
New Jersey, answering Sentaor Nc
Kellar, declared the legislation sought
only to adopt lessons learned from
the world war, and was designated
to eliminate red tape and promote
efficiency in the war department.

Than Hundred Miles From
Ruhr Troubles

London. - French occupation OF
Frankfort and other German cities, to-

Ruhr district, is being considered by
the counsel OF ambassadors at Paris
it is learned here.
II is declared at the foreign office
that the British are not fully decided
as to what course to follow, because
Of conflicting reports, but are inclin'
ed to give Germany benefit Of doubt
thus far.

state department in the American &C.
cupied area, that several days ago
MIR. Noyes formally ASSOCIATED him
self from any action the high commits
sion might take involving it directly
or indirectly in possible French
advance into unoccupied territory. 1t
is also stated at the office that Mr..
Noyes has notified Washington Of his
action.
Germans Shell French Patrol

only incident in connection with the
occupation of North Frankfort by the
French consisted of few shots fired.

troll before which detachments of the
reichsWehr and the security police
were retiring The latter, although
knowing that occupation had been de-
cided on, refused to believe it would
be carried out, one OF the officers
saying that the British would not let
the French come in.
At Darmstadt, the reception of the
French troops was almost cordial, and
the population at Frankfort was in
clined to be friendly to the French.
Allied Capitals Apprehensive
London.-Greatest apprehension pre-
vailed here in official and diplomatic
circles as to the eventualities involved
in the German invasion of the Ruhr
district and the subsequent French
fataliatory measure OF occupying sew
eraI points in the Frankfort region.
While admitting that the Germans
technically have violated the peace
treaty, British government officials
were inclined to regard Frances head
slrong, ill considered one-handed
game"
England, Italy and the United States,

unexpected jolt.
